After He Took It All Burning The Legacy
Brielle's POVRichter stared at the desk where the two hairpins lay: the innocent-looking replacement and the tiny, exposed GPS beacon from the original.The military-grade components were barely visible. The implication was a flash flood of information, washing away the last remnants of my naive trust.He didn't look at the pin for long. He looked at me. His gaze was sharper, colder, and more dangerously intelligent than ever before. The air in the room was thick with accusation, heavier than the moment he discovered I was late for our first meeting.“Tell me, Who the hell,” he asked, his voice a lethal, controlled whisper that was far more terrifying than a shout, “are you talking to, Ms. Julliard?”My heart hammered, a frantic prisoner against my ribs, but I forced my face into the same blank, marble mask I’d used to convince him to attack the Steinmetz case. I had to sell this lie perfectly, or I was screwed.“An old security team,” I said, keeping my hands steady in my lap. I did
After He Took It All The Unexpected Exchange
Brielle's POVDamn…The aftermath of the Klaus attack and the Steinmetz counter-smear was just so brutal.Richter was working around the clock, fueled by pure rage and the need to protect the dozens of innocent lives I had put at risk with my strategy. The bastard.As for me… well, I was doing the same damn thing, sitting in the secure apartment, reviewing the list of names from the Geist Verwaltungs cabal.This wasn't just a list of power brokers anymore. This was a list of future casualties.Richter and I had decided on the next target: a high-ranking politician with deep ties to the French energy conglomerate, one of the primary Overseers on the Geist ledger.The strategy was to use the initial confusion we’d created to hit a target so high-value that Ines Ferdinez would be forced to reveal her goddamn self to protect the structure.I looked at the names, feeling that sharp, exhilarating tremor run through me again.It was the thrill of absolute power—the knowledge that with a few
After He Took It All The Phantom Operation
Axel's POVJulian Vance’s quiet threat was still ringing in this goddamn sterile office air. He didn't have to say a damn thing out loud; the message was crystal clear.My mother’s whole freakin’ network knew I was actively protecting Brielle. They knew exactly how to use the shit evidence of my past control to absolutely wreck me. Worse, they could destroy any shot I had with Brielle.I walked straight to my desk and just slammed my fist down. The old, delicate glass figurine—some stupid corporate BS—shattered instantly, scattering shards across the mahogany. The sound was loud as hell and, honestly, pretty satisfying. It was a physical release for the cold, visceral fear that had been building since Julian bounced.The hairpin is, like... a ticking bomb, I guess? Yeah, something like that.If the Vandenbergs, the rival firm now trying to screw over Geist, found that tracker on Brielle, they wouldn't just use it against me.They would hand it straight to Brielle as the final, irrefut
After He Took It All Sacrificing The Pawn To Save The Queen
Brielle's POVWhen you hit a mouse, you get a squeak. When you hit a viper, you get venom. And Ines Ferdinez was the queen of vipers.The call came from Richter’s office manager, not from Richter himself, just a few hours after the news reported the seizure. Her voice was shaking, which was shocking for a woman who ran a high-powered German law firm.“Miss Julliard, you must remain in the apartment. Do not leave under any circumstances. Sir Richter is handling an immediate and severe professional crisis.”“What crisis? Did Jason try to sue him?” I asked, my fingers already flying across the keyboard, checking legal journals.“No. It’s personal. Someone leaked documents from nearly twenty years ago. It’s… devastating. He is fighting for his career right now.”I didn't need to ask who. This was the Ferdinez counter-strike. They didn't bother defending their stolen money; they went straight for the jugular of my protection. They found Richter's biggest, buried secret and unleashed it.I
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
