“Sophie’s unraveling.”

“Or she knows you’re investigating and she’s getting nervous.” Rachel types back a response. “I’ll see what else Kelly knows. Maybe Sophie’s made other mistakes we haven’t caught yet.”

“Good. Keep me posted.” I stand, stretching. “I’m going to talk to Anthony Martinez today. See if I can get him to flip.”

“Be careful. If Sophie finds out you’re approaching her co-conspirator—”

“She’ll panic. Make another mistake. Which is exactly what we want.” I kiss Rachel quickly. “Tru

  • I’m Back, Mr. CEO    BOOK 4 - Chapter 41: On the Move

    **L: Sophie left the house at 6 a.m. I took a bag with her. Said she had early meetings but I checked her calendar. Nothing scheduled. She’s up to something.****D: Follow her if you can. Safely. Don’t let her see you.****L: Already in my car. She’s heading downtown.****D: Keep me posted. And Lin? Be careful. If Sophie realizes she’s being investigated, she might get desperate.****L: I’m always careful.**I show Rachel the messages. “Sophie’s on the move. Early morning, no scheduled meetings. She’s either meeting someone or doing something she doesn’t want Maya to know about.”“Maybe she knows you were in her office. Maybe she’s checking the cameras.”“If she is, she’ll find them wiped. Password changed. Access denied.” I pull up the surveillance system on my laptop. “Which will confirm someone’s onto her.”“That might make her panic. Do something reckless.”“Or it might make her run.” I check the cameras remotely. Both are still active, still recording. “But she can’t access the f

  • I’m Back, Mr. CEO    BOOK 4 - Chapter 40: The Dilemma

    I’ve been staring at the footage for six hours straight.Rachel gave up trying to get me to sleep around three a.m. Now she’s curled up on the couch, occasionally checking on me with worried eyes.“You need to rest,” she says for the hundredth time.“I need to figure this out.” I rewind the footage again, watching Sophie position Ethan’s unconscious body. “We have everything. Undeniable proof. But how do we get Maya to actually watch it?”“Call her. Tell her you have evidence she needs to see.”“She’s blocked my number. Blocked Ethan’s. Blocked everyone who questions Sophie’s story.” I lean back in my chair, rubbing my eyes. “If I somehow get through to her, if I tell her I have video evidence, she’ll think it’s fake. Doctored. Desperate manipulation.”“Then show it to the police.”“And say what? That I broke into a private office building and hacked into an unauthorized surveillance system?” I shake my head. “The evidence would be inadmissible. Fruit of the poisonous tree. Sophie’s l

    The footage continues. Maya comforting Sophie. Ethan coming to, confused and disoriented. His genuine shock and horror at the scene.And Sophie, watching it all with calculated precision behind her tears.I sit back, nauseous.She planned everything. Every single detail. The drugging. The staging. The timing. Even her own emotional response.And she recorded it all.But why? Why keep evidence of her own crime?I keep scrolling through the footage, looking for answers.There. A few days after the incident. Sophie in her office, alone, watching the same footage I just watched.She’s smiling.Rewinding to watch Ethan’s confusion. Maya’s horror. The moment everything fell apart.She’s enjoying it.I export the footage, downloading it to three separate drives. Cloud backup. External hard drive. My phone.This is everything we need. Irrefutable proof that Sophie staged the entire assault.But as I’m copying the files, I notice something else. Another folder. Labeled “Insurance.”I click it

  • I’m Back, Mr. CEO    BOOK 4 - Chapter 38: Derek Investigates

    {DEREK POV}Getting into Sterling Industries after hours takes more planning than I expected.Anthony Martinez gave me his access card. Took another five thousand dollars and the promise that I wouldn’t implicate him in anything, but he finally broke. Told me about Sophie paying him to disable the cameras. Told me about the exact system he tampered with.And told me something crucial: the main security footage might be gone, but Sophie had installed her own cameras. Hidden ones. To record everything.“She wanted proof,” Anthony had said, hands shaking as he took my money. “Proof that she could use if things went wrong. She had me install two mini cameras in Sophie’s office. One behind a plant. One in the bookshelf. She didn’t know I kept the login credentials.”Now I’m standing outside the building at eleven p.m., Anthony’s card in my hand, his login information on my phone.The card reader beeps green. The door unlocks.I’m in.The lobby is dark, empty. Just the hum of the HVAC syste

    “It’s a promise.” I meet her eyes. “Maya is my daughter. My only child. And I will protect her from anyone who tries to hurt her. Even her best friend.”Sophie’s phone buzzes. She checks it, and I catch a flash of something on her screen before she quickly hides it. A name. Anthony.“I need to go.” She grabs her purse. “I have a meeting.”“At seven-thirty in the morning?”“Yes. With a vendor. It’s the only time he was available.” She’s already heading for the door. “Tell Maya I’ll be back later.”After she leaves, I stand at the window, watching her car disappear down the street.Anthony. The name nags at me. Why does it sound familiar?I pull out my laptop, doing something I probably shouldn’t. Accessing Maya’s company records through the login she left saved on my computer for emergencies.I search for Anthony in the employee directory. Nothing.Vendor contacts. Nothing.Then I try building maintenance. Service contractors.There.Anthony Martinez. Works for Pacific Facilities Manag

  • I’m Back, Mr. CEO    BOOK 4 - Chapter 36: Lin’s Suspicion

    {LIN POV}Something is wrong with Sophie Monroe.I’ve known it from the moment she walked into my house. The way she moves through rooms like she’s claiming territory. The way she watches Maya with an intensity that makes my skin crawl.The way she cries at all the right moments but her eyes stay cold.I’m making tea in the kitchen when I hear Maya’s bedroom door open. Footsteps down the hall. The front door closing softly.Through the window, I watch my daughter get into her car and drive away. Early morning, not even seven a.m. She didn’t tell me she was leaving.Five minutes later, Sophie emerges from the guest room, already dressed, makeup perfect. Too perfect for someone who just woke up.“Good morning, Lin.” She smiles, pouring herself coffee. “Is Maya up yet?”“She just left. Didn’t you hear her?”“No, I must have been in the shower.” But her hair is dry. Has been styled. “Did she say where she was going?”“No.”Sophie’s smile tightens. Just for a second. Then it’s back, bright
