Break My Seal and Lose Everything Chapter 9
Stephen died in the holding cell's infirmary.Multiple organ failure.In his last moments, he was still scratching at his age-spotted face, muttering incoherently about that one life-saving drop of Vitae.When the coroner pulled back the sheet, he was just a withered skeleton. He weighed less than seventy pounds.Two weeks later, Victoria was sentenced.Fifteen years.For felony fraud and embezzlement.The once-arrogant Chief Strategy Officer would rot in a federal women's prison.Her prized beauty was long gone, her face a canvas of hideous spots.But her bone-deep arrogance remained.That kind of attitude made her the perfect punching bag.During rec time, she was beaten by a different prison boss every day, her head held down in a sink.Her body, once draped only in couture, was now covered in cheap, coarse prison scrubs and bruises.As for the old fox, Alistair...A month ago, a beat cop in Brooklyn found his body by a sewer drain.He had frozen to death on New York's coldest night

"Ms. Thorne, there are two beggars in the lobby. They refuse to leave. They're crying and screaming that they know you."The voice of my head of security, a Lycan descendant, crackled through the intercom. His disgust was obvious."Should I toss them in the gutter?"I leaned against my holographic desk, sipping a premium blood-wine freshly flown in from the Scottish Highlands."No. Let them come up."I pressed the button. My voice was cold, empty of emotion.This was the top floor of the newly completed Thorne Financial Center.Yesterday, I had used my private funds to buy the entire landmark building outright.It was thirty floors taller than the old Blackwood Tower.From now on, this multi-billion-dollar empire that ruled Wall Street would not bear anyone's family name.It belonged only to me.Snow fell heavily outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, blanketing the steel jungle of Manhattan in white.The elevator chimed.Two bulletproof glass doors slid open.Stephen and Alistair crawl

The physical decay was just the appetizer.The financial reckoning was the main course.Stephen had always believed his business empire was built by his brilliant mind.He actually believed his thirty-fold return was a product of his own genius.He had no idea.All of that money was backed by me. I had used my influence with several thousand-year-old Elders in Europe and their hidden financial Clans to prop him up.Without my endorsement, his chips were worthless in the eyes of real capital.I picked up my encrypted phone and gave the order.Total divestment.Three days.In just three days, the Blackwood Group's fragile line of credit snapped.A coalition of banks issued a joint statement demanding immediate repayment of all loans.The wolves of Wall Street smelled blood and swarmed, devouring all the company's valuable assets.In less than a month, the thirty-billion-dollar empire was forced into liquidation.One stormy night.Lightning tore across the Manhattan sky.I sat in my apart

Fifteen days.Enough time for a beautiful lie to rot completely.I sat on the couch in my TriBeCa penthouse, swirling a vintage blood-wine.Beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, the Manhattan skyline glittered.On the coffee table, a tablet live-streamed a feed from Manhattan's most exclusive private hospital.On the screen, the "Apollo of Wall Street" was sprawled on the hospital bed like a shriveled mummy.Just two weeks ago, Stephen was the king of that boardroom.In only fifteen days, he had lost more than half of his famous golden hair.His tight skin had lost all moisture. It hung loose and sagging, like a dried-out orange peel.He looked at least thirty years older.In the ICU next door, his father, Alistair, was even worse.The old fox suffered a massive stroke on day three. Now he was completely paralyzed. He couldn't even form a sentence. Just stared at the ceiling all day, drooling.For six hundred years, the Blackwoods rarely got sick.Generation after generation died of

The boardroom erupted in laughter.A deafening roar.Victoria was doubled over, clutching her stomach. She pointed at the lacquered box in my hands."Yvette, been watching too many bad Hollywood movies?" Her eyes dripped with contempt. "You think you can just show up with a raggedy old scroll and curse us? Who do you think you are? Some cheap Dracula knock-off?"The rest of the board joined in."She's lost her mind. A three-year-old wouldn't fall for this.""I told you she was a charlatan. Stephen should have kicked her out ages ago."I ignored the braying of these ignorant Mortals.Calmly, I pulled the pin from my hair. An ancient heirloom of my bloodline. Its silver tip flashed under the full-spectrum lights.I raised my hand.Without hesitation, I pricked the tip of my index finger.A single drop of Pureblood welled up. It smelled of rosemary and nightshade.An ancient and dangerous power instantly filled the air.I held my finger over the scroll—a parchment made from the skin o

Three days later.The Blackwood Group held a special board meeting.As the nominal founder, I received a notice to attend.The moment I pushed open the door, the entire room fell silent.Every director and executive stared at me.Some were amused, some were mocking, but most were just enjoying my downfall.The massive mahogany boardroom table was already packed with the company’s core leadership and a few sharks from Wall Street.Stephen sat at the head of the table.Victoria, as Chief Strategy Officer and fiancée of the boss, was seated right beside him.I glanced around. The founder’s seat, which had always been mine, was now occupied by a new, unfamiliar vice president.“Yvette, so sorry, we’re a bit overbooked today.”Victoria stood up with a saccharine smile, pointing to the darkest corner of the room.A cheap, folding spare chair sat there alone.“You don’t participate in decisions anyway. Why don’t you just sit over there and listen in?”A few stifled laughs broke out across the
