The next day, I decided to work late at the office. The office is empty and echoing around me, and I savor the silence like a forbidden indulgence. My eyes skim over endless rows of case files, my mind focused and sharp, when the front door clicks open and breaks the spell. I glance up, surprised to

    “What is it?” he asks, and I hear the hope, the craving for victory. It mirrors my own, amplified by the late hour and the proximity of another hungry soul. I pivot the laptop so he can see. “It’s the dummy shell. Not just the primary—Derek’s got a whole stack of LLCs feeding into the same offshore

    He says this without looking at me, but the compliment hangs between us, warm and unambiguous. I snort, pretending to scan an expense log. “You came all this way for late nights with a cutthroat old lady like me?” He shakes his head, grin crooked. “You’re nothing like what I expected. Or anyone el

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 167

    I want to smile. I want to rip off his shirt, pin him to the desk, and show him exactly how apex predators negotiate. Instead, I reach for the pen. We both go for it at the same time. Our fingers tangle, knuckles brushing, and the shock is enough to make my pulse lurch. He doesn’t let go. I feel th

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 166

    The night collapses inward, one glass window at a time. By ten p.m., only a few hard cases remain illuminated in the towers across the city, each rectangle of light a self-congratulatory halo for the zealots who cannot—or will not—stop working. My own office floats above the silent grid, one lamp bu

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 165

    I scan the first doc. It’s a technical breakdown, all transactional jargon and references to shell corporations. But in the top margin, in Derek’s unmistakable handwriting, is a note: “Final movement, Zurich, window closes 72h post-trigger. No margin for error.” I hand the page to Lucas, then move

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 164

    Lucas works the other angle, seated with one long leg propped on an adjacent chair, his body language a thesis on nonchalance. But I know better: his left hand tightens on the pen with each new document, tendons flexing in a rhythm that betrays a deeper focus. He reads and annotates like a machine,

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 6

    The lock clicks behind me as I slip into the office. I am the wolf, even in tailored business attire. Even with it all wrapped up so tight. The edge of my existence cuts deep. The aftertaste of the night clings to my senses, a raw, metallic tang that I cannot swallow away. My steps falter, then re

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 3

    The lock clicks behind me, each sound an echoing note of freedom. I inhale the promise of the morning and the heavy shroud of Derek’s latest message unfurls in the back of my mind. I will not think about it, about him, until I must. The weight of obligation falls away as I step forward, closing the

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 5

    There is a freedom in it, a temptation that digs claws deep into my resolve and leaves it ragged and bleeding. I have spent a lifetime restraining the urge, tightening the leash until it bites into my own flesh. But the promise of release is a seductive whisper, its breath warm against my neck, its

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 4

    The crosswalk sign flashes red as I approach, an unwavering command to stop, to wait, to hold. I heed it, just this once. There is no harm in pausing when I know what lies ahead. The penthouse is a world apart from the one I now move through, but I carry pieces of it with me, fragments of luxury an
