Four days later, Mark's assets were officially seized.

Neo watched the federal agents load boxes out of Mark's apartment. Computers. Hard drives. Personal files. Everything.

The apartment itself would be repossessed within the week.

'No money. No home. No career. No family.'

Mark's public defender was arguing for a reduced sentence based on "cooperation with authorities," but the evidence was overwhelming. The malware had Mark's digital signature woven into every line of code.

  • She Knows But Can't Prove It

    "Alina. She called. Said she knows I'm Noam. Can't prove it. But knows.""What did you say?""I denied it. Deflected. But I think—I think she knows anyway. She's smart. She's figured it out. She just can't prove it.""What does that mean for us? For the plan?""Nothing. She can suspect all she wants. Without proof, she's powerless. And by the time she finds proof—if she ever does—it'll be too late. Damian will be finished. She'll be finished. And I'll be married to you. Living our life. Moving forward.""You sound certain.""I am. Alina knows the truth. But the truth doesn't matter. Only proof matters. And she doesn't have it."Lyra sat beside him. "Does it bother you? That she knows? That she's figured it out?"Neo thought about it.'Does it bother me? That Alina Carver—the daughter of the people who tried to kill me—knows I'm alive? Knows I'm destroying her family? Knows I'm Noam Ash?'"No,"

  • Her Ghostly Discovery

    That evening, Neo got a call from one of his informants. The one monitoring Alina."Boss, update.""What?""Subject AC hired a private investigator. Same guy—Richard Morris. He's been digging for months. And he just delivered a report.""What kind of report?""Timeline analysis. Comparing Noam Ash's death to Neo Ames's emergence. He found—he found the timing."Neo's stomach dropped. "What timing?""Neo Ames identity emerged exactly one month after Noam Ash's death. Bank accounts opened. Business registration filed. Everything. All starting exactly one month after Noam died.""That's—that's not proof of anything—""No. But Morris noted it. Called it an impossible coincidence. Said there's no prior records for Neo Ames before that date. No childhood. No college. No employment history. Just—nothing. Then suddenly, one month after Noam's death, Neo Ames appears fully formed with massive capital.""

  • An Apology On The Side

    That afternoon, Neo got an unexpected call.Peterson. The board member who'd been skeptical during the emergency meeting."Mr. Ames, it's Peterson. From the board.""Mr. Peterson. What can I do for you?""I wanted to apologize. For questioning you. For doubting. The audit—it's impressive. Thorough. I've never seen funding sources documented that well.""Thank you. I believe in transparency. At least when it comes to financial compliance.""I also wanted to say—you were right. About Damian. About Von Global. About staying independent. We made the right call.""I appreciate that.""And I wanted to ask—that comment I made. About you looking familiar. I've been thinking about it. And I realized—you remind me of someone I used to know. Briefly. Years ago. Software engineer. Worked remotely for a tech company for a few months. Brilliant kid. Quiet. Then he—he died. Car accident, I think."Neo's blood ran cold

  • Audit Statement

    Neo picked up his phone. Scrolled through contacts.Found the one he needed.Axel Lu. His lawyer. The best corporate attorney money could buy.He dialed."Mr. Ames," Axel answered. Smooth. Professional. "I was expecting your call.""Damian Von threatened me. Funding irregularities. SEC investigation. Media exposure. The whole playbook.""And you need me to shut it down.""Publicly. Definitively. I want a statement. An audit. Everything. Make it so airtight that even the thought of investigating becomes embarrassing for him.""Consider it done. I'll have the audit prepared by tomorrow morning. Every transaction. Every dollar. Every source. All of it traceable. Legal. Clean.""How fast can you release it?""Forty-eight hours. I'll coordinate with our accounting firm. Get everything certified. Then we publish. Make it public. Dare Damian to find a single irregularity."Neo felt something

  • Neo's Counter

    That afternoon. 2:34 PM.Neo's phone rang. Unknown number.He answered. "Yes?""Mr. Ames. It's Damian Von."Neo's jaw tightened. "Mr. Von. I wasn't expecting a direct call.""I'm sure you weren't. But after your board meeting this morning—which I heard about, by the way—I thought we should speak. CEO to investor.""There's nothing to discuss. The answer is no.""I understand that. But I wanted to—I wanted to offer you a courtesy. A warning, really.""A warning?""I've been doing some digging. Into Ames Digital's early funding. Your funding specifically. And I've found—irregularities."Neo's blood ran cold. "What kind of irregularities?""The timing. The amounts. The sources. It's all very—convenient. Almost too convenient. As if someone orchestrated it. Carefully. Deliberately. Perhaps to hide something.""I don't know what you're implying—""I'm not implying anything

  • We're Staying Independent

    Neo leaned back. "Because I don't see this as an investment. I see it as a mission. I'm not building Ames Digital to flip it in five years. I'm building it to last. To matter. To be something more than just another tech company that gets acquired and absorbed and forgotten.""That's idealistic—""It's also profitable. Look at the numbers. We're outperforming every competitor. Every projection. Every expectation. Why? Because we're not optimizing for quarterly earnings. We're optimizing for long-term value. For culture. For actually giving a damn about what we're building."Silence.Williams was nodding slowly. "I have to admit—the culture here is different. Better. I've been on a dozen boards. This is the first company where employees actually seem happy.""That's not an accident," Neo said. "That's intentional. Adam and I built this company to be different. To value people. To create something worth being part of. And you can't do that i
