The final confirmation comes in the shape of a hidden file, a false-bottomed drawer, a false life. Derek’s private study is full of shadows, of secrets, of quiet deceit. The storm drums against the windows like a warning, like an omen, like the edges of what I know to be true. I begin my search with

    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,

    He smiles, but there’s no warmth in it. “She handled the Kovacs bankruptcy. If she survived that media storm, ours will be a vacation.” I push back from the desk and rise, stretching my spine until it pops, vertebrae by vertebrae. “I want a trace on every communication between Derek and Reynolds, a

    Lucas pushes off from the bookshelf and walks into the lamp’s periphery. He carries a battered notebook, the kind with a leather strap and torn corners. “I spoke with my contact in Geneva,” he says, opening the notebook with the careful reverence of a priest handling sacrament. “If Derek’s moving as

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 161

    After midnight, the city turns on itself. Glass towers shed their daylight brilliance and sprawl into a thousand black panes, each one a cold mirror for the violence beneath. My office is a floating cell above this expanse, nothing but the pulse of my desk lamp and the scratch of rain against the wi

    “I know what you’re doing,” she whispers, barely audible over the hum of the building. “I won’t tell anyone.” There’s an instant when everything inside me wants to devour her—her loyalty, her cleverness, the way she sees me without judgment—but I hold back. Instead, I flip open the file. Inside:

    I gather the pieces of myself and leave the office. My own intentions are as fractured as his. I cannot think straight with the scent of him so fresh, so insistent, so much like a promise. The door swings shut behind me, cutting off the warmth and memory of Derek's presence with surgical precision

    I stiffen, a snarl forming at the back of my throat, before I manage to smooth it into something more civil, more human. This is not what I expected, not what I am prepared for. I should have known. I should have known he'd come. "Mara," his voice drawls, easy and confident, but I hear the challeng

    I let them watch me as I unfurl into motion, as I take my time, a tigress stretching beneath a lazy sun. The documents make a soft, lethal sound as they hit the glass, echoing back to fill the silence. These papers are my arsenal, my map to the battlefield I will carve from this sterile room. I ar

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 9

    The air thrums with ambition, the kind that leaves marks like teeth on skin. I step into the boardroom, a half dozen pairs of eyes pulling toward me as if gravity's force has just shifted. The glass walls loom like a watchful sky, reflections doubling back on themselves, encasing us in a tower of ou
