After that, I poured everything into the company.New projects launched one after another. Partners lined up to meet with us.An industry magazine put my photo on its cover with the headline, "The Youngest Female CEO."I glanced at it, then flipped the magazine face-down on my desk.None of that mattered to me.What mattered was that what my father had entrusted to me hadn't fallen apart in my hands.On the weekend, Nathan drove me to an animal rescue shelter on the outskirts of the city.We'd co-funded the place together. He handled the permits; I handled the money.I crouched on the ground, rewrapping the bandage on a limping Shiba, my hands covered in dust.Nathan came over with a tissue, tilted my chin gently, and wiped a smudge away.The sun warmed my back.I finished tying the bandage and looked up at him."Nathan.""Hmm?""Do you think people change?"His hand paused for a moment. He thought about it."They do."I lowered my eyes.Then he added, "But someone who truly cares abou

Before long, it was time for the annual industry summit.The big screen scrolled the words: Annual Innovation Case Study, Haven Senior Care Operations Project.When the host read my name, the room went silent for a beat, then applause erupted from every direction.I stood, walked to the stage, and held the crystal trophy in my hands: the Rising Star Award.I presented Haven Senior Care's first-year operations data, walked through how the team had turned the proposal into reality step by step.At the end, I paused."This project was once taken from me."A few gasps from the audience."Not a single word was changed. Just a new cover page and someone else's name."The room fell so quiet you could hear the air conditioning vents."But I'm not up here to play the victim."I raised the trophy."This award belongs to everyone who's ever had their work stolen, their credit stripped, and still refused to give up."The applause that followed was louder than before.As I stepped off the stage, a

Three days after Ethan was fired, he sold his black Audi.He moved out of his downtown apartment and rented a run-down place in the south end of the city, barely three hundred square feet.Peeling walls, leaky pipes, windows that wouldn't close properly, rattling with every gust of wind.Ethan used to be the center of attention wherever he went, suit pressed and shoes polished.Now he crouched in front of the stove in his rental, watching a cooking video on his phone, trying to figure out how to make tomato beef stew.It was my favorite.Back in college, I'd mentioned once that the cafeteria's tomato beef stew was too salty, and wouldn't it be nice if someone made it for me.He took a photo of the finished stew and sent it to my old college email.I hadn't logged into that account in two years.He knew that. But it was the only way he had left to reach me.He sent the photo with a single line: "Added too much salt today. I'll fix it next time."The next day: "Heat was too high. Burned

The investigation team's final report came in.Black and white, line by line, airtight.I stood on the stage at the company-wide assembly. Below me, more than two hundred people filled the room."Diana Lawson. Misappropriation of company assets. Disclosure of trade secrets. Effective immediately: terminated and referred for criminal prosecution."Two uniformed officers entered through the back door and took their positions on either side of Diana.She shot to her feet. Her chair crashed backward with a sharp screech.Every eye in the room was on her.They escorted her toward the exit. As she passed me, she stopped.Her eyes burned with hatred."You win, Mia Thornton."She spat each word through gritted teeth."But don't get too smug. What are you, really? You were just born into the right family.""A woman riding on daddy's coattails has no right to judge me."A collective gasp rippled through the audience.I smiled and picked up the microphone."I've never denied where I come from.""

After the funeral, I'd lost five pounds.Just one week, but it felt like another lifetime.The car had barely turned onto the street outside the office when Nathan slowed down."He's back again."I followed his gaze.Ethan was standing at the front entrance, his suit wrinkled, no tie, stubble covering his jaw, planted next to the security booth.Nathan gripped the steering wheel. "He shows up every day. Security's chased him off multiple times. The guy's like a leech. I'll have someone remove him.""Don't.""Let him in."Nathan turned to look at me.I unbuckled my seatbelt. "Some things need to be said face to face. Dragging it out only makes it worse."By the time Ethan was brought to the reception room, I'd already been sitting inside for five minutes.The door swung open. He froze for a moment, and then his eyes instantly went red."Mia..."He rushed toward me, reaching out to touch me.I leaned back in my chair. His hand hung in the air."Sit."He bit his lip and sat down, both han

Ethan and Diana were called back to the office by an urgent phone call.An emergency board meeting, they were told.By the time they reached the conference room, the screen was already filled with profile icons.Every board member was online.No one spoke.It was the kind of silence that comes before a storm.Ethan pulled out a chair and sat down. He scanned the room, a nagging feeling settling in his gut.Diana sensed it too. She glanced at Ethan instinctively, and they exchanged a look.The video feed switched.A figure appeared in the center seat.Dressed in black, hair pulled back, face completely expressionless.It was me.I looked into the camera. My voice was level, as if I were reading a memo."Let me introduce myself.""My name is Mia Thornton. I am the current Chairwoman of Thornton Group."On screen, Ethan's hand froze in midair.Diana's mouth opened, then closed. The color drained from her face in an instant.Not a single person in the conference room made a sound.I didn't
