"I can lure him out," he insisted, his eyes gleaming unnaturally. "Once he's alone, we can set the trap."
Ian sighed faintly, his tone turning dismissive.
"Your enthusiasm is noted, but it won't work. He won't fall for something so simple."
Wade shook his head firmly, stepping forward. "He will," he said with certainty. "After all… I am the one who Ivy loves secretly."
That statement caused both Ian and Robert to pause.
Robert narrowed his eyes, studying Wade carefully. "Explain."
Wade immediately nodded, his expression growing intense...almost unhinged.
"Ivy and I… we had a relationship," he claimed. "She fell for me the moment she saw me. We kept it a secret… but we were together."
His voice grew sharper, his emotions spilling out uncontrollably.
"When Silas found out, he forced her to end it," Wade continued, his fists clenching tightly. "He didn't even divorce her...he just threw me out of the base like I was nothing!"
