ISABELLA"Who else has been in this room tonight?" I asked.Nobody answered right away. They looked at each other instead."Talk," I said, louder this time.Antonio moved first. He walked to the door and checked the hall. Then he pulled it shut and turned back to face us."Three people came in before Fen set up," Antonio said. "Marcos. Reyes. And Luca.""Luca has access to this floor?" Dante asked, his voice sharp and flat."He has access to the whole building," Antonio said slowly.Fen was still staring at his screen. His hands rested on the keyboard but he was not typing."Someone sat at this desk," Fen said quietly. "Someone who knew exactly which file to open and when to close it without leaving a trace.""But they did leave a trace," I said, stepping closer to him. "The timestamp.""Yes," Fen said. "Either they made a mistake. Or they wanted us to find it."I looked at the screen one more time. The name was still there. Staring back at me."Is there any way to track who accessed

ISABELLANobody moved.The audio file had ended but the room still felt full of my father's voice.I kept my hands flat on the table. I kept my face still. I did not want anyone to see how hard I was shaking inside."Second file is ready," Fen said.He clicked it open before anyone told him to. The image loaded slowly from the top down.A street. Daylight. A police precinct in the background.Two men. Standing close. Near the side entrance."Do you know either of them?" Antonio asked.I looked at the man on the right first. I did not know him.Then I looked at the man on the left.My whole body went cold."Sarah," Dante said. His voice was sharp. "Who is he?"I did not answer right away. I could not."Sarah." Christian said my name this time, lower and quieter than Dante.I forced myself to speak. "I need a minute.""You don't have a minute," Dante said, moving closer to the screen. "Tell us who he is.""I know him," I said finally."From where?" Antonio asked."A photograph," I said.

ISABELLA"Don't touch it." Christian appeared from nowhere and stepped between me and the table.The package sat open right there. I had not even heard him come in."What is your problem?" I asked, staring at his back as he blocked my view."That drive could be rigged," he said, not turning around."Rigged how?" I asked, taking one step closer anyway."Malware. A tracker. A program that burns everything the second you plug it in." He finally turned. His eyes were flat and serious. "So step back."I stepped back. Not because he told me to. Because he was right and I knew it.Dante walked in right after, his phone already to his ear. Antonio came in behind him, quiet as always."Fen is on his way," Dante said. He looked at the drive without touching it. "Nobody opens that until he clears it.""Agreed," Antonio said.I said nothing. I just crossed my arms and waited.Fen arrived in less than twenty minutes. He was young, maybe twenty-five, with quick eyes and a worn laptop bag over one s

ISABELLAI called Chloe at noon."Get me HR," I said. "I want the head of department in my office in twenty minutes. And pull the personnel files for Derek Obi and Sandra Yee. Just the files. Nothing else yet.""Understood," Chloe said.The head of HR was a woman named Priya. She had been with the company for nine years. She was one of the ones who had survived everything intact, which told me she was either very careful or very clean. Possibly both.She came in at twenty past twelve exactly."Miss Isabella," she said, sitting down across from me."Priya," I said. "I am going to ask you something and I need a straight answer.""Of course," she said."Derek Obi and Sandra Yee," I said. "Were their hiring records ever flagged?"Priya looked at the folder in my hands."They were not processed through the standard panel," she said. "I raised it at the time. I was told the decision had already been made at board level and to process the paperwork.""Who told you that?" I said."Mara," she

ISABELLAThe morning light was already coming through the curtains when Chloe knocked."Good morning, Miss Isabella." Chloe stepped inside and held out the schedule pad with both hands.I was sitting on the edge of my bed. I had not fully dressed yet. I took the pad from her and looked at it."Your nine o'clock meeting has been moved to ten," Chloe said, standing straight near the door."Fine," I said, still looking at the pad."Also," Chloe said carefully, "Wednesday is coming fast."I looked up at her."What about Wednesday?" I asked."It is Lily's birthday," Chloe said. She held my gaze. "She turns six."I set the pad down on my lap.Six.I had known the date. I had known it for months. But hearing it spoken out loud in my own bedroom, on a Monday morning with the light still soft and the day not yet started, it hit differently."You need to be there," Chloe said. She did not make it sound like a suggestion."I know that," I said."I mean really there," Chloe said. "Not just presen

ISABELLAI was already gathering the papers in front of me. I stacked them without rushing. I straightened the edges. I set them to one side.I looked across the desk at her."And who do you think you are to be informed?" I said.I kept my voice the same way I kept the room — arranged exactly as I intended it, not one thing out of place."Perhaps," I said, "you need to be informed that this meeting you were so eager to schedule is, in fact, connected to the matter of your removal from the board."She went very still."What?" she said.I stood. I smoothed the front of my jacket once. I picked up the folder from the desk.I looked at her."Watch me," I said.Then I walked out.Past Chloe. Down the corridor. Toward the boardroom at the end of the hall. I did not look back. I did not need to.I already knew exactly what her face looked like.* * *The boardroom was full when I walked in.Twelve people around a table that had held a hundred decisions over the years, not all of them good. I

ISABELLA"Miss, Are you taking the company away from us?" she asked, and her voice was so small and so serious that I forgot, for a full second, how to stand upright.I turned.She was six years old. White dress, white shoes, two neat braids. She was holding a gift box with both hands the way child

ISABELLA“What do you think you are doing?” Rane said, his voice deep.I smiled slowly. “And what does it look like? Are you shocked? Surprised? Or outsmarted?”"We need to talk," Rane said. His voice was low enough that only I could hear it. "Isabella, now and private."He had reached me before se

ISABELLAChloe knocked twice before she opened the door."Madam, it's time. We don’t have to be late"I was already at the mirror, clutch in hand. “I need to dress the best tonight.”"You look like you own the place, more like a queen that you are" she said, stepping behind me to fix the clasp. "Wh

ISABELLASIX YEARS LATER…"You need to eat something," Lucas said from the doorway. "Isabella. I'm serious. You haven't touched anything since yesterday.""I'm still fine.""You said that an hour ago.""Because it was true an hour ago.""Isabella." His voice dropped, not angry. Just firm. "Look at
