Marie Drams’s fingers hovered over her phone as the words lingered in her mind: "I’m just getting started."

A chill ran through her veins. Her eyes narrowed in the image of the glass that faced her. She had been playing a long game, having waited for the perfect time to destroy all that lay between her and what she sought. But now..now, it was not just about her anymore. It was about Charles, about Fiona, about power and legacy.

"Charles is mobilizing. He's not accepting this lying down. His reaction isn't what you expect."

The color drained from Marie's face. What did that mean? His reaction isn't what you expect?

    Sunlight filtered over the crowded campus, its light muted compared to the dark clouds threatening the horizon. Fiona remained seated in the lecture hall, her thoughts elsewhere. The words of her students echoed around her, a white noise that refused to fully drown out the turmoil brewing within.The wedding loomed. It had taken on a life of its own, something no longer to be denied. Invitations sent, plans in progress—everything organized to the nth degree, and Fiona was a spectator in her own life. The life she longed to create for herself and Liza became increasingly far off with each day. She was being swept into a vortex of heritage and obligation she hadn't even negotiated.Reality had sunk in. Madam Jamaica's labor wasn't in vain there was a future ahead. A future of what, though? She gazed out the window to watch the rain starting to trickle down the glass, mirroring the discomfort rising in her chest.Her phone rang. It was a text from Charles.Charles: "The photographer rech

    Charles had always taken pride in being the one in control, the weaver of his own story. But now, seated in his study with a view out at the blackened London skyline, the nagging feeling in his gut only deepened. His mind kept drifting back to Marie. The woman who had been his fiancée, the woman whose ambition cut far deeper than he had ever predicted.Her power play against Fiona wasn't an easy move. It was a call to war. And a war of the kind that could ruin everything Charles had built, everything he was now attempting to create with Fiona.The phone rang just after dinner, breaking through his introspective quiet. It was his reliable chief of security, a gruff voice on the other end."Sir, we have evidence. Marie is exerting her influence in the press. She's already let out some juicy rumors regarding Fiona's history. The press is running with it."Charles's knuckles turned white around the rim of his glass as the words landed on him like a gut punch. Marie was merciless, but he h

    The words resonated within her head like a mantra as she stalked through her lavish London estate. She had no use for the shallow theatrics of an engagement. The game was on, and so were the new rules. She would turn the script on its head. The Billion legacy wasn't simply about money—it was about power. And power, Marie had long learned, was the most fragile commodity on the planet. One stumble, and it disintegrated.She was done with Charles, and done with Fiona, playing in a game she had already won. Fiona, with her guileless pretence and her so-called betrothal, was nothing more than a pawn in the master game Marie had been weaving since she was a child.She stood in front of a large mirror, smoothing out the snug black dress that clung to her. Her reflection stared back, a picture of elegance and refinement, but inside? Inside, there was only rage, seething and churning just below her surface.Marie needed to hit them hard, hit them fast. Fiona would be but a ghost in the media's

But this. this woman Fiona Generys was not what she had anticipate

    The early morning sunlight cut through the tall arched windows of the Drams townhouse like judgment.Marie sat at the long breakfast table, untouched espresso growing cold in front of her. She was dressed in a spotless cream-colored suit silent armor and a color of lipstick called Power Play. The phone was already clutched in her hand. Her assistant stood at the kitchen entrance, tablet in hand, attempting not to wince."They've opened the archives," he filed in sternly. "Jamaica acted quickly. Board minutes. Employee records. Even files on the Foundation's offshore accounts."Marie didn't flinch. "They're late. I already cleaned out the bad stuff.""Yes, but.." He paused. "It's not the information that counts.
