CHAPTER 91
I sat on the floor of my room in the East Wing, my back pressed against the cold plaster wall. The burner phone in my hand felt like a live grenade. The battery indicator was flashing red—5% left. The screen was cracked, a spiderweb of glass that distorted the numbers, and the plastic casing felt greasy against my sweating palm.Outside, the estate was quiet. It was the heavy, suffocating silence that comes before a hurricane.The wind was picking up, rattling the old window panes in their frames, sounding like skeletal fingers tapping against the glass.Tomorrow was the deadline. Tomorrow, Marcus and Sarah would present their "proposal" for my mother’s care.I knew what it would be. A sanitized, legal document that authorized "palliative transition." They were going to kill her to save money. They were going to frame it as mercy.But I had something heavier than their legal briefs.I had the recordi

CHAPTER 92
The night was an eternity of sweat and pain.I dreamt of fire. I dreamt of drowning in black tar while Marcus stood on the shore laughing. I dreamt of my mother standing on a cliff, calling my name, while Sarah tried to push her off into the abyss.I woke up gasping.It wasn't a slow waking. It was a snap.One second, I was drowning in the fever dream, my body thrashing against the sheets. The next second, everything stopped.The heat in my blood vanished instantly. The throbbing in my joints silenced. The nausea that had been my constant companion for weeks evaporated.It felt like stepping out of a noisy, crowded nightclub into a silent, snowy field.I lay still for a moment, waiting for the pain to return. Waiting for the tremors to seize my hands. Waiting for the fog to roll back in.Nothing.I took a deep breath. The air felt clean. It went all the way to the bottom of my lungs without hitching, fi

CHAPTER 93
The event was in full swing when we arrived. It was chaotic. The audio leak had turned the atmosphere from celebratory to scandalously electric. Reporters were swarming the entrance, shouting questions at anyone who walked in. The heavy oak doors of the venue were besieged by cameras. "Is it true?" "Did Sarah St. Claire fake the evidence?" "Is Victor innocent?" I stepped out of the SUV. The cameras turned. The shouting stopped for a split second, then doubled in volume. I wasn't hiding. I wasn't sneaking in the back. I walked right up the red carpet. I looked healthy. I looked dangerous. I looked like I owned the pavement I was walking on. "Mr. St. Claire!" a reporter yelled, shoving a microphone over the velvet rope. "Do you have a comment on the recording?" I stopped. I looked directly into the camera lens.Last Updated : 2026-03-25Read more

CHAPTER 94
The Gala had turned into a riot of goodwill, but Sarah wasn't celebrating.She cornered me near the bar. Marcus was with her, looking like he wanted to punch me but afraid of the cameras."You think you're clever?" Sarah hissed. "You just gave away your only safety net. You're broke again. You have nothing.""I'm rich in friends," I said calmly, sipping a sparkling water."It doesn't matter," Marcus said. "The audio leak is fake. We're already spinning it. We have experts lined up to say it's AI generated. By tomorrow morning, you'll be the liar again.""Is that so?" I asked.I looked up at the giant screen behind the stage. It was currently displaying the donation total."Adekunle," I whispered into my collar. "Now."The screen flickered.The donation total vanished.In its place, a waveform appeared. A jagged green line on a black background.The raw audio from the garden started pla

CHAPTER 95
I drove the SUV myself. Isabella sat in the passenger seat, holding onto the handle as I wove through traffic."St. Claire stock is crashing," she noted, checking her tablet. "But your approval rating is through the roof. You're trending higher than the Pope right now.""I don't care about the trends," I said, my knuckles white on the steering wheel. "I care about the extraction."We pulled up to the St. Claire Private Hospital.It was locked down. Marcus’s private security team was at the gate, alerted by the chaos at the Gala."They won't let us in," Isabella said. "They have orders.""They don't have a choice," I said.I didn't slow down. I floored the accelerator.CRASH.The iron gate buckled under the impact of the heavy SUV. Metal screeched against metal. The car shuddered violently but kept moving."Jesus, Victor!" Isabella laughed, breathless. "Subtle."I drove up to the main e

CHAPTER 96
The lobby of the St. Claire Group's headquarters was marble, glass, and silence.I walked in at seven in the morning, still wearing last night's shirt. No tie. No briefcase. Just me, Isabella at my shoulder, and the low hum of a building that hadn't decided yet who it belonged to.The security guard at the front desk jumped to his feet the moment he saw me."Mr. St. Claire—" He hesitated. His eyes flicked to the news feed playing on the wall-mounted screen behind him. The Gala footage. Sarah screaming on stage. Marcus trying to wrestle a microphone from my hand. He looked back at me. "I… I wasn't told you were coming in.""Nobody told me I needed permission," I said.I walked past him to the elevator bank.He didn't stop me. I didn't slow down.The ride up to the executive floor was silent except for the click of Isabella's heels against the elevator tiles. Thirty-two floors. She checked her phone. I watched my own reflection in the polished steel doors.I looked like I'd been dragged

CHAPTER 97
Sarah was arrested at 10:47 AM.I watched it happen from Marcus's—my—window. It was live on every news channel simultaneously. I had four browser tabs open but only one of them had the sound on, and I kept it low.They came for her at the hotel suite where she had retreated after the Gala. Six officers and a detective. The detective was a compact, calm woman named Reyes who moved with the unhurried efficiency of someone who had done this a hundred times and wasn't impressed by anyone's last name or anyone's net worth.Sarah answered the door in a silk robe. The footage was shot by a photographer who had been tipped off and positioned across the street with a telephoto lens two hours before the arrest. The image was sharp enough to catch the exact moment she registered the badges.She smiled.Not the smile of relief. Not the brittle smile of someone caught and pretending not to be. Something more considered than that. A smile that said she had already played out this moment in her head

CHAPTER 98
My mother was awake.I stood in the doorway of the private room for a long moment before she saw me. She was propped up against white pillows, wearing a pale blue cardigan I had never seen before—someone on the nursing staff had bought it for her, I guessed, or sourced it from the small patient essentials shop in the lobby.Her hair had been braided. She was looking out the window at the small courtyard garden below, where a bird was hopping along the stone edge of the fountain with great intention and no apparent destination.She looked older than I remembered from before all this started. The months in the St. Claire hospital had taken something from her that the better food and the real doctors here hadn't fully given back yet. But her eyes, when she heard my step and turned, were clear.Clear, sharp, and fully herself."Victor," she said. Just my name. She held out one hand.I crossed the room in three steps and took it. Her hand was light and thin, but her grip was firm.I sat in

CHAPTER 99
The board of directors meeting was at noon and they had locked the conference room.Literally locked it. When I walked down from the executive floor with Thomas and Sterling—who had come around once I showed him the complete scope of what Marcus had done to the operating accounts—the conference room door was sealed behind a keypad that hadn't been there yesterday."Someone changed it this morning," Thomas said, trying the handle."Who has the code?" I asked Sterling."Currently only the board secretary," Sterling said, looking uncomfortable in the way that people look when they've already decided something and don't want to say it out loud yet."Who appointed the board secretary?" I asked."Marcus," he admitted."When was the keypad installed?" I asked.Thomas was already on his phone. He spoke to someone in building services for thirty seconds, then looked at me. "It was put in at seven fifteen this morning," he said. "Emergency installation order. The work order is signed by the boa

CHAPTER 100
The first thing I did as interim CEO was call Adekunle.He picked up on the fourth ring, voice rough with sleep. "Victor? What time is it?""Seven forty-five," I said. "Get up. You're moving."A pause. The creak of something that was either a van door or a cot spring. "Moving where?""This building has a corporate residential suite on the sixteenth floor," I said. "Nobody has used it in two years. It has a real bed, a working kitchen, and a shower with consistent pressure. It's yours.""Victor, I don't need—""Adekunle," I said. "You live in a van. We're three weeks into what is about to become a six-month operation. I need you rested, fed, showered, and reachable in under five minutes. The van is a liability.""Someone found me before?" he asked."Someone found us in the industrial district," I said. "We got lucky. Next time the visit might not be from me."He was quiet for a moment. I could hear him thinking through it, which was one of the things I respected about Adekunle—he alway
