The heavy iron door of the clinic room violently rattled against its hinges as it was pushed open.

Julian Vance walked inside, the sharp heels of his designer leather shoes snapping against the cracked, dirty linoleum. He did not offer a glance toward the empty IV bag dangling from the rusty metal pole or the visible layer of sweat drying on Viviennes forehead. He stopped directly at the foot of her squeaking mattress, casually adjusting the gold links on his cuffs with total indifference.

  • I Built His Empire & Destroyed it Later: Rebirth of "V" Vane   Chapter 62: High Seas Possession

    The glass doors of the master deck slid shut with a soft hydraulic hiss, cutting off the humid Mediterranean wind, but the hum of the tactical monitors remained active on the stateroom wall.Glowing blue and green radar arcs swept across the display screen, confirming that the two dark water escort frigates had established a thirty nautical mile defensive perimeter around the Aegis.Vivienne stood in the center of the lavish, low lit master stateroom, still adjusting the collar of her black Kevlar lined blazer. Her pulse was still hammering in her throat, not from fear, but from the raw, intoxicating surge of adrenaline that comes with turning an ambush into a complete slaughter.The perimeter is clear, but I want the satellite arrays running continuous sweeps across the southern sector, Damian, Vivienne said, her eyes fixed on the glass monitor as she reached up to unpin her hair. The Black Horizon will not accept Kroll’s defeat lightly. If their secondary submarine unit is lurking n

  • I Built His Empire & Destroyed it Later: Rebirth of "V" Vane   Chapter 61 The Mediterranean Intercept

    The dark, choppy waters of the Mediterranean Sea crashed against the reinforced hull of the Aegis, the two hundred foot, custom dark steel superyacht cutting through international waters at thirty knots. On the high tech, glass enclosed bridge deck, warm blue ambient lighting illuminated dozens of holographic tactical displays. Live orbital telemetry streams scrolled continuously down the central glass screens. Satellite defense array orbital alignment is complete, Chairwoman, the lead cyber analyst announced from his station, his fingers flying across his mechanical terminal. The four private orbital nodes we deployed over the Straits of Gibraltar thirty minutes ago are locked into geostationary orbit. Your quantitative countermeasure protocols are active. Keep the satellite link on a localized frequency shift every six seconds, Marcus, Vivienne Vane commanded calmly. She stood at the central tactical pedestal wearing a sleek, midnight black Kevlar lined suit, her hair pulled bac

  • I Built His Empire & Destroyed it Later: Rebirth of "V" Vane   Chapter 60: The Threshold of Global Shadow Power

    The cool night air swept off the harbor, whipping the hem of Vivienne Vane’s dark crimson silk gown as she stood on the marble balcony of the Executive Mansion. Below her, stretching across the horizon like a grid of liquid gold and neon, lay the sprawling skyline of the metropolitan financial district. Every skyscraper, every transit hub, every server array, and every port authority dock glinted beneath the midnight sky. Damian Thorne stepped out through the tall glass French doors, two crystal snifters of amber scotch held in his hands. He walked up behind her, his chest brushing her shoulder, his heavy presence radiating warm, absolute security. The Governor is still inside trying to calm the press corps, my queen, Damian murmured, handing her a glass. He just told the news anchors that Gregory Croft suffered a tragic personal medical emergency on his way out of the building. Vivienne took a light sip of the scotch, her dark eyes reflecting the sea of city lights. Governor Laws

    To the undisputed economic future of this state, the Vane Thorne Infrastructure Act!Governor Christopher Lawson raised his crystal flute of vintage champagne high into the air, his voice echoing across the grand, gilded ballroom of the Executive Mansion. Surrounding the polished mahogany head table, a crowd of two hundred state senators, supreme court justices, foreign ambassadors, and billionaire financiers instantly joined in a loud, enthusiastic toast.Hear, hear!To Chairwoman Vane and Mr. Thorne!Governor Lawson turned toward Vivienne Vane, his face beaming with a mix of political relief and profound reverence. Chairwoman Vane, with a single signature on tonight's executive accord, you have injected eighty billion dollars into our state’s failing power grid, secured our digital routing centers, and saved this administration from an unprecedented municipal default. The state owes you an unpayable debt.There are no debts in a mutually beneficial partnership, Governor Lawson, Vivi

  • I Built His Empire & Destroyed it Later: Rebirth of "V" Vane   Chapter 58: The School Gate Rejection

    That is a two hundred dollar suit, pal. You are holding a single crumbled hundred dollar bill.The greasy clerk behind the counter of the downtown pawnshop did not even look up from his phone, flicking an ash onto the dusty glass display case.Look at the cuff, it is frayed! The collar has a grease stain! Julian Vance rasped, his dirty fingers gripping the faded wool fabric of the dark navy jacket like a lifeline. Cold sweat dripped down his hollow temples, stinging his eyes. I am not asking for a discount out of charity! I need this suit right now! It is all the money I have left on this earth!Not my problem, buddy, the clerk sneered, finally glancing at Julian’s bruised knees, frayed trousers, and the blood soaked paper towel stuffed into his left shoe. You look like a homeless guy who scraped his knees on the pavement outside the Capitol. I got a business to run. Pay two hundred or put the jacket back on the rack.You do not understand who I am! Julian yelled, his voice cracking v

  • I Built His Empire & Destroyed it Later: Rebirth of "V" Vane   Chapter 57: The Eviction of the Political Boss

    The heavy double oak doors of the District Attorney’s top floor executive suite slammed open, the brass handles crashing violently against the wood paneling.What is the meaning of this intrusion?! District Attorney Marcus Vance roared, slamming his crystal glass onto his mahogany desk. He threw his phone handset onto its cradle and stood up, his face flushed red with unbridled fury. Who authorized you to enter my private office without clearing security?!Vivienne Vane stepped across the threshold with calm, aristocratic elegance. She wore a tailored midnight black suit, her dark hair pinned back, her dark eyes glittering like black ice in the morning sunlight streaming through the floor to ceiling windows.Flanking her right side was State Inspector General Jonathan Sterling, carrying a heavy leather briefcase and flanked by two senior state investigators.Your security detail was disarmed and relieved of duty three minutes ago, Marcus, Vivienne said smoothly, her heels clicking sof
