After He Took It All Caught By The Pin And The Final Betrayal
Axel's POVJulian Vance was still standing there, radiating quiet disapproval and making my office feel small and stupid. The silence after I sent the warning to Brielle was excruciating. He didn't raise his voice or tap his foot, but the pressure he exerted was heavier than a physical assault. “You are interfering, Axel,” Julian repeated, his voice silky smooth. “Madame Ferdinez sees this as interference with a containment strategy that has been in place for nearly two decades. The Julliard asset was supposed to remain passive. Your actions, and now the actions of Brielle, have activated it. Why?”I kept my face perfectly neutral, falling back on the ruthless composure I was born with. “My actions are proactive, Julian. I identified a Vandenberg operative—Hess—targeting the Geist asset. If the Vandenbergs gain leverage over Geist, they have a direct line to every name on that list, including Madame Ferdinez. I preempted a collapse, not caused one.” Julian smiled, but it didn't rea
After He Took It All Firing The First Shot—Ruining A Good Man
Brielle's POVThe success of the Klaus fund freeze felt like a momentary rush of cold air, but I knew the retribution would be immediate and brutal. When you hit a mouse, you get a squeak. When you hit a viper, you get venom. And Ines Ferdinez was the queen of vipers. Richter was thrilled, naturally; he didn't ask how I knew about the vulnerability in the Geist Verwaltungs fund or why I was suddenly so aggressive; he just saw the results. His only comment was, “Your paranoia serves you well, Ms. Julliard. Now, let's use the distraction.”We had the bomb—the list of names—and Axel’s coded warning had just shown me exactly where the enemy was most exposed: the outer perimeter. If Axel was fighting the Vandenberg-hired ghost, I needed to hit the Ferdinez network where it was softest, forcing Ines Ferdinez to drop her defenses and deal with the internal chaos I was creating. We chose the weakest link on the Geist list: Dietrich Klaus. He was a low-profile manager who ran a small, high
After He Took It All Axel Crushes The Leak—Time To Betray
Sophia's POVI felt a nervous sort of electric buzz running through me. This was it: the high-risk, high-reward move that would either win the game or bury me under several layers of Ferdinez litigation. After days of careful plotting, I finally had the final plan in place. Jason was, predictably, a mess, calling me every hour and whining about the ethics, which was hilarious coming from a man who had abandoned his own father in a German clinic to steal his retirement. “Sophia, if this blows up, you understand what happens? Axel will know we tried to ruin his perfect little princess, and the entire Julliard legacy goes down in flames. We stick to the money, Sophia! Not the public scandal!” he ranted into the phone.“The money is already frozen, Jason!” I snapped, rolling my eyes while looking over the final copy of the leak. “The only way to unfreeze it is to shatter Brielle’s legal standing. She gained power of attorney from a man who is neurologically impaired. We expose his long
After He Took It All Using Axel's Warning And Learning To Lie
Brielle's POVI was hunched over the red binder, trying to reconcile the legitimate-looking Geist Verwaltungs records with the terrifying list of power brokers, when the secure terminal on the desk started beeping. It was some kinda encrypted whatever alert…And it looked kinda urgent. It wasn't a call; it was a text file, a bland-looking security notification. I read the initial jargon, my eyes already trained to look past the surface: SECURITY ALERT: Server Vulnerability Detected. HIGH PRIORITY. Focus on the integrity of the Geist Verwaltungs framework. Note that external access attempts are targeting PROTOCOL-OMEGA-11 via an unauthorized retirement-sector IP. Review old contracts for key vulnerabilities.It looked like a generic IT warning, and I almost dismissed it. But then my brain snagged on two things: Geist Verwaltungs and PROTOCOL-OMEGA-11. Those were the ghost company and the decryption file I’d just spent two weeks unearthing. No one outside of me, Richter, and maybe a
After He Took It All Coded Warning And Getting Caught
Axel's POVThe security report finally landed on my desk, and I grabbed it like it was the last life raft on the Titanic. I hadn't slept properly in days, and all I could see when I closed my eyes was Brielle's furious face as she walked out that door. The financial damage Jason was doing was bad, but the psychological damage Brielle was doing to me was total. Victor’s data was clean, concise, and incredibly alarming. It was about the burly man, the ‘landlord’ who had delivered the threat package to Brielle. Identity confirmed: Günther Hess. Retired. Affiliations: Worked primarily in transnational security details for the Vandenberg Group, 2008-2019. Now operates as freelance intelligence.The Vandenberg Group. That name was like chalk scraping down a blackboard in my family's history. They were our quiet, corporate blood-rivals from the old world—the kind of people who didn't steal money, they stole leverage.They were the ones who would burn down a house just to prove they could
After He Took It All Finding The Ghost Company And The Bomb
Brielle's POVWeeks had passed, and the apartment was starting to feel less like a safe house and more like a prison library. I hadn't seen daylight that wasn't filtered through a tiny window in ages. The only things that mattered were German corporate law, dry financial statements, and the red binder. I was sleeping maybe four hours a night, waking up thinking about fiduciary duty and hostile takeovers. My pregnancy was starting to show, just a hint of a curve under my loose sweaters, a soft, constant reminder of what I was fighting for.Richter had only contacted me twice, both times via video chat, demanding detailed summaries of specific case sections. He was brutal; he didn’t care if I understood the jargon, only that I could recite the facts and identify the leverage points. He was hardening me, training me to see people not as family, but as corporate entities. “Sentience is a weakness, Ms. Julliard,” he’d lectured me once. “Your ex-husband is not ‘cunning.’ He is ‘destruc
