Airline Denied, I Went Nuclear Chapter 9
Victor stared at the handcuffs.For the first time, real fear showed on his face.Then he dropped.Hard.He hit his knees and crawled forward, grabbing at my father’s leg, his composure gone.“Chairman Sterling, Richard, please,” he said, his voice breaking. “We built this company together. Don’t do this to me.”“I’ll return everything. Every cent. I’ll resign today. Just don’t send me to prison.”My father pulled his foot back.The look in his eyes didn’t change.“The man I worked with is gone,” he said. “He disappeared the moment you chose greed.”Victor shook his head frantically.“I didn’t,”“You let your people abuse passengers,” my father continued. “And because of that, my mother died waiting.”A pause.“Tell me how you plan to make that right.”Victor had no answer.He turned to me instead.“Ms. Sterling,” he said quickly, voice desperate now. “I was wrong. I should have controlled my people. I take responsibility.”He lowered his head.“Treat me however you want. Just… don’t r

“If this gets out,” Victor said, “it won’t look good for Solstice Air.”He crossed the room like he owned it, dropped onto the sofa without being invited, and took a slow sip of tea.“In my view, Leo apologizes. We issue an internal warning. Then we move on.” He glanced at me, tone light. “There’s no need to ruin him over a misunderstanding.”I let out a short laugh.“A misunderstanding?” I said. “An internal warning?”I picked up Leo’s signed statement, still creased, still damp, and flicked it across the table.It struck Victor in the chest.“Vice President Shaw,” I said, “your people denied boarding, resold seats, and used company resources to run a private business. You signed off on it.”I met his eyes.“That’s your definition of a misunderstanding?”His face darkened instantly. He shot to his feet, pointing at me.“Vanessa Sterling, don’t push your luck. Being the chairman’s daughter doesn’t give you the right to make things up.”“I’ve been with this company for twenty years,” he

“Top donor drops a mega gift, and I’ll head over right now and rip the mask off that fraud.”Blaze’s voice boomed from the massive screen in the VIP lounge.He stood outside the airport, phone raised, talking fast, feeding off the energy of his own stream.“Guys, remember that gold digger from yesterday? She’s back. Brought a bunch of thugs with her this time.”He smirked at the camera.“As the voice of justice, I’m not letting that slide. Send the gifts. I’ll show you exactly what she really is.”I watched him without expression.“Legal,” I said. “Platform. Agency.”The legal director didn’t hesitate. He pulled up the data on his tablet.“Blaze. Contracted streamer under Ignite Media Group. Platform is StreamCast.”He paused, then added, “Yesterday’s footage has already been edited and circulated. He altered the narrative. The reputational damage is significant.”I let out a quiet breath, tapping a finger once against the table.“Then let’s not waste time.”I looked up.“Send formal n

“Chairman Sterling, these are Leo Carter’s financial records from the past six months.”The legal director placed a thick stack of documents on the table in the VIP lounge.The room had been cleared.Bodyguards stood at every entrance.The airport general manager hovered near the wall, sweating, too nervous to sit.Leo knelt in the center of the room, his hands shaking uncontrollably.I sat at the head of the table.“Read it,” I said.The legal director opened the file.“Internal investigation confirms that Leo Carter repeatedly abused his authority as a gate agent,” he began. “Under the pretext of overbooking, he denied boarding to selected passengers.”Leo’s head snapped up.“That’s not...”“Quiet,” my father said.Leo fell silent.The legal director continued.“The vacated seats were then resold at inflated prices through third-party brokers, or privately reassigned in exchange for direct payments.”He turned a page.“Over the past six months, unexplained deposits into his personal

“Leo Carter,” I said, “if you get on your knees now, I might consider explaining just how badly you ruined your life.”For a second, there was silence.Then Leo burst out laughing.“Beg?” he said, wiping at the corner of his eye as if I had just told the best joke of his life. “Who do you think you are?”He took a step closer, his expression turning ugly again.“You really think putting on a designer suit makes you someone important?”He grabbed his radio.“Security to VIP lane. Now. That crazy woman from yesterday is back.”His voice hardened.“And this time, don’t go easy on her. Break something if you have to. I’ll take responsibility.”He dropped the radio and looked me up and down, slow and deliberate.“I’d love to see what you think you can do.”The security captain from yesterday came charging over with more than a dozen guards, all carrying batons. The moment he saw me, his grin spread wide.“You again,” he said. “Didn’t learn your lesson?”He jerked his chin toward us.“Throw

I hit the pavement outside the terminal.Behind me, the glass doors slid shut.Leo stood just inside the entrance, bright terminal lights glowing behind him.“Don’t dirty the place,” he called. “Bad luck follows people like you.”Then he turned and walked away.For a while, I couldn’t move.The night air was cold against my torn shirt. My palms stung. My knees throbbed. My cheek ached where the phone had hit me.I pressed the power button with numb fingers.The screen flickered once.Twice.Then it came alive.The moment the signal returned, notifications flooded in.Missed calls.Messages.More missed calls.At the top was a voice message from Dad, sent ten minutes earlier.My hands started shaking before I even tapped it.His voice came through the speaker, hoarse and exhausted.“Nessa, you said you’d be here this afternoon.”A pause.“Your grandmother kept waiting for you. She held on as long as she could.”My breath stopped.“But night came, and you still weren’t here.”Another pau
