CHAPTER 61
Damien stared at the text message until the words blurred. His hands shook as he forwarded the screenshot to Richard with a single line: "Need advice immediately." Richard called within minutes, his voice sharp with concern. "Do not meet this man alone. It could be a setup." "But ignoring him feels wrong. What if he goes to the mediator?" "Then let him. But if you meet him, do it on our terms with witnesses." Richard paused, thinking. "My office, tomorrow morning. Neutral territory and I will be there." Damien barely slept that night. He researched Tom Reeves online and found a middle school science teacher with a clean digital footprint and no obvious red flags. Morning arrived cold and gray. Damien dropped Emma at school early and drove to Richard's office with his stomach in knots. Tom Reeves arrived precisely on time, dressed in slacks and a button-down s
CHAPTER 62
Damien sat in Richard's office staring at the business card Tom had left. The name printed there belonged to someone who might shatter what he thought he knew about Jennifer. He did not want to believe Tom. The accusations felt too convenient, too perfectly timed to manipulate him. But he could not ignore the possibility. Not when Emma's safety hung in the balance. Richard's investigator was a woman named Patricia who specialized in background checks and employment verification. She had worked dozens of custody cases and knew how to dig without leaving fingerprints.

CHAPTER 63
Jennifer's parting comment about Simone sat in Damien's mind like a stone he could not swallow. He hated himself for letting it take root. Jennifer clearly had an agenda. She was hurt and possibly unstable. Her warning should mean nothing. But what if there was truth to it? The question haunted him through the night. By morning, he decided to mention it casually to Marcus. They were grabbing coffee before heading to the office when Damien brought it up. "Have you heard anything negative about Mitchell Tech Solutions?" Marcus looked at him like he had grown a second head. "Where is this coming from?" "Just something someone mentioned. Probably nothing." "Jennifer?" Marcus's face changed to understanding. "Damien, she is clearly jealous. Mitchell Tech Solutions has a great reputation. Susan Chen vetted them before approving them as our cons
CHAPTER 64
The social media post from Harper's Auto Repair had been live for forty minutes and the damage was already catastrophic. Marcus pulled up their backend system while Simone made rapid calls to their hosting provider. The office felt like a war room."Show me everything," Damien said to Marcus. His voice was steady but his hands shook as he gripped the desk edge.Marcus navigated to Frank Harper's account dashboard. The numbers stared back at them in neat columns and every calculation appeared correct.Quarterly estimated taxes, deductions, profit margins, everything aligned with standard accounting practices. There was no error that Damien could see."This makes no sense," Marcus muttered. "Our algorithm is solid. We had three different CPAs verify the logic before launch."Damien's phone buzzed. Susan Chen. He let it go to voicemail but saw two more missed calls from her already.The investor grapevine worked fast. Bad news traveled faster."We need to talk to Frank Harper directly,"
CHAPTER 65
Damien's car screeched into the school parking lot fifteen minutes after Principal Edwards called. His heart hammered against his ribs as he ran toward the main entrance.The hallways smelled like floor wax and cafeteria food. His footsteps echoed too loudly in the empty corridor, he was so confused.Principal Edwards waited outside her office with a look that made Damien's stomach drop. She was a stern woman in her fifties who never called parents unless it was serious."Mr. Cole, thank you for coming so quickly. Emma is physically fine but there has been an incident.""Where is she?" Damien's voice came out rougher than he intended."In the nurse's office. Please come with me."The nurse's office was small with posters about handwashing and healthy eating. Emma sat on the examination table with her legs dangling.Her left arm had an angry purple bruise blooming across the skin. Her knee was scraped raw and a small bandage covered the worst of it.But what broke Damien's heart was he
CHAPTER 66
Damien sat in his apartment staring at Jennifer's email until the screen burned into his vision. The screenshots glowed against the darkness of his living room like accusations.Two in the morning and he had not moved from the couch. His coffee had gone cold hours ago but he kept lifting the mug to his lips anyway.The text messages looked real. The font was right and the timestamps matched and even the battery percentage in the corner seemed authentic.Unknown: "How is the Webb situation progressing?"Simone: "Better than expected. He trusts me completely now. The tech transfer should be smooth."Every time he read those words, something twisted in his chest. Not again. He could not survive being fooled again.But something nagged at him. The phrasing felt wrong and Simone never called him Webb in conversation so why would she text about extracting code so casually?At six in the morning, Damien forwarded everything to Richard with a single line: "Need you to look at this. Now."Rich
CHAPTER 67
Damien left Dr. Park's office with one name burning in his mind. Tom Reeves. Jennifer's ex-husband and the middle school tech teacher who had always seemed uncomfortable around her.Richard made the call within the hour. Tom agreed to meet that same evening at Richard's office downtown.The law firm was mostly empty when Tom arrived just after seven. He looked smaller than Damien remembered and the fluorescent lights made the dark circles under his eyes stand out.Tom sat down in the conference room chair, his hands shook slightly as he placed them flat on the table."I know why you called," Tom said before either man could speak. "I have been expecting this. Jennifer used something I taught her, didn’t she?"Damien and Richard exchanged glances. Tom's shoulders sagged like a man carrying guilt he could no longer bear."What did you teach her?" Richard asked carefully.Tom rubbed his face with both hands. "During our marriage, maybe two years ago, Jennifer asked me how to create reali
CHAPTER 68
The police station smelled like burnt coffee and industrial cleaner. Damien sat in a small conference room with Richard, Tom, Detective Chen, and Dr. Patricia Ramos, a crisis counselor.They were waiting for Jennifer. She thought she was coming to give a statement about the school incident involving Claire.Detective Chen adjusted the recording equipment on the table. She was a compact woman in her forties with sharp eyes and a no-nonsense demeanor."When she arrives, let me lead the conversation," Detective Chen said. "We need her responses on record."Dr. Ramos nodded. She was younger than Damien expected with gentle features and a calm presence that filled the room."Given what you have described, I am here to assess Ms. Jennifer Billie's mental state and determine if intervention is necessary."Tom sat with his hands folded tightly in his lap. He had not spoken since they arrived twenty minutes ago.The door opened and Jennifer walked in with a confused look. She wore a navy blaze
CHAPTER 69
Damien drove straight from the police station to Simone's office. His hands gripped the steering wheel tight enough to make his knuckles ache.The downtown office building was sleek glass and chrome. He parked haphazardly and took the elevator to the twelfth floor.Simone's assistant looked up from her desk with a professional smile that faltered when she saw Damien's face."Is she available? It is urgent.""She is in a client meeting, but let me check."The assistant disappeared into the conference room. Damien stood in the reception area trying to steady his breathing.Two minutes later, Simone walked towards him. She wore a burgundy blazer and her expression was guarded when she saw him."Damien. What is going on?""I need to apologize and explain. Please."Something in his voice must have convinced her because she nodded and led him to a small private conference room.The door closed and they stood facing each other. Damien could see the hurt still lingering in her eyes."I was wr
CHAPTER 70
The waiting room smelled like disinfectant and stale coffee.Aisha sat in a plastic chair looking smaller than her twenty-two years. Her mascara had run in dark streaks down her brown cheeks.When she saw Simone, she burst into fresh tears. "I am so sorry. I swear I did not know."Simone pulled her sister into a tight hug. "It is okay. We will figure this out. Just tell me exactly what happened."Detective Morris led them to a private room. Aisha sat between Simone and Damien while the detective reviewed her notes."Ms. Monroe, walk us through your interactions with the woman who contacted you on Instagram."Aisha wiped her eyes and took a shaky breath. "She messaged me about three weeks ago. Said her name was Jessica Carter and she was a journalist writing a piece about successful Black entrepreneurs in tech.""Did she say which publication?""Some online magazine I had never heard of. She wanted to interview f
