Emily POV

I woke up to the air filled with the smell of sea water and oil. My hands tied behind my back,

I realized I was in the cargo hall of a ship rocking with ocean waves.

Across from me sat Vanessa Brooks looking perfectly composed in designer clothes with

one hand resting protectively on her pregnant belly, and she smiled when she saw me wake

up saying welcome back Emily, Margaret was worried she'd given me too much sedative.

I asked where my children were and Vanessa's smile widened as

    Emily POVThe genetic files arrived in New York eleven days before trial started.Sarah briefed us in a conference room at the FBI field office me, Nathan, Marcus, Blake. She laid the documents on the table with the careful, neutral expression of someone delivering news they wish they didn't have to deliver.Sebastian had spent months in Geneva building a parallel case. Not just corporate crimes but a documented argument that Nathan Zhou had knowingly married a Genetic-modified woman, concealed genetically enhanced children from regulatory authorities, and used modified individuals to gain unfair advantage in business competition. Under emerging international genetic ethics frameworks, it wasn't just scandalous.It was potentially criminal.Nathan sat beside me and said nothing. His hands were flat on the table and I knew that stillness. I'd learned every version of Nathan's stillness over the years.This one was the version where he was genuinely scared."They can't prosecute him for

    Vanessa POVSandra called at 7 AM and I already knew from her voice it was bad."Three donors pulled out overnight. Forty percent of our annual budget. And the landlord had called someone bought our building lease and he's terminating us in thirty days."I sat on the edge of the bed in the Lothan guest apartment and didn't say anything for a moment. Not because I was shocked but because I wasn't. Sebastian had promised consequences and Sebastian always kept his promises. That was the thing about him nobody understood until it was too late, he wasn't impulsive, he didn't rage. He just waited until he found the thing you loved most and then he took it apart piece by piece while you watched.He wasn't coming after me.He was coming after the ninety-three women I'd spent seven years trying to save."Vanessa? Are you there?""I'm here. I'll call you back."I hung up and sat very still with the phone in both hands. Diane's face came to me, a woman who'd arrived at our door at 2 AM with two

    Nathan POVI showed Emily the message of blackmail threats he sent me. Not because I planned to. I had planned to sit on it and come to her with something resembling a strategy instead of the raw, ugly thing Sebastian had dropped on my phone at midnight. Then I walked back from the bathroom and saw her at the window in my old sweatshirt, looking like a woman who had fought the whole night and lost.I handed her the phone.She read it twice. Second time slower."Something about my genetic profile that I don't know." Not a question but just the words turned over and unable to comprehend "He's probably bluffing. Creating leverage before he makes a move.""And if he's not?"I didn't answer. Which was its own answer."Nathan." Her voice was quiet. "Sebastian isn't a scientist. He doesn't run a lab. He didn't discover this alone." She looked at me. "Someone gave it to him."That was the part that had kept me awake all night.I got ready and went to Marcus's office. Nine O'clock sharp.Bla

    Nathan POVThe Lothan Industries private jet cut through the night sky toward Singapore. Emily satacross from me, reviewing security protocols Blake had sent. The twins were asleep in therear cabin finally looking like normal six-year-old girls instead of Catherine's geneticexperiments."Blake says Sebastian's media contacts are already asking questions," Emily said quietly."We have maybe seventy-two hours before someone publishes speculation about the twins'genetics. Catherine's therapy works better.""We're trusting Catherine with our daughters again. Nathan, tell me we're notmaking a catastrophic mistake.""I can't. But what's the alternative? Let Sebastian expose them?"My phone buzzed. Message from Marcus.The flight tracker shows you're four hours from Singapore. Blake's coordinating security on theground. Nathan, Catherine's facility is a legitimately registered medical research clinic. Looksclean from outside but monitor everything she does. We don't know her real agen

    Emily POVI called Vanessa and explained Sebastian's threat, the sabotage, the choice we faced."Release the files," Vanessa said immediately. "Emily, I'm not worth protecting if it meansletting Sebastian keep hurting people. Publish everything, my crimes, his crimes, all of it.Let the world judge both of us.""You could face prosecution. The statute of limitations doesn't cover everything in those files.""Then I face prosecution. Emily, I helped Sebastian commit crimes for three years. I've hadseven years of freedom I didn't necessarily deserve. If honesty means prison, at least it'shonest prison."Her courage amazed me. "Are you sure?""I'm sure. Sebastian thinks threatening my consulting firm will make you back down. Showhim threatening me makes you double down. Release the files and destroy him completely."I hung up and looked at Blake. "Release everything. Margaret's files, Vanessa's testimony,Sebastian's eighteen years of criminal activity tonight, before Sebastian can p
