REVENGE OF THE PHANTOM HEIRESS CHAPTER 9 - Breaking News
Berry looked up from her new laptop, her fingers still hovering over the keyboard. “Who is Maya?”Theo glanced at Cossy, then back at Berry. “Maya is my sister. My younger sister.”Berry's expression shifted, something cold flickering across her face. She turned back to her laptop without another word, her jaw tight.“She's in college,” Theo continued, trying to fill the sudden silence. “Somerset College. She's graduating next month.”“Cool,”Berry muttered, not looking up from the screen.Cossy watched Berry's fingers move across the sleek keyboard, her own hands clenched at her sides. “That's a really nice laptop, Berry. Must have cost a fortune.”“Theo got it for me,” Berry said simply.“I can see that.” Cossy's voice carried an edge. “He's always been generous with his... projects.”Theo frowned. “Cossy.”“What? I'm just saying. Some of us have been using the same old equipment for years.”Berry finally looked up, meeting Cossy's eyes. “If you have a problem with me getting a lapto
REVENGE OF THE PHANTOM HEIRESS CHAPTER 8 - Hidden Feelings
Maya Blackthorn crouched behind the towering philosophy section of Somerset's Green Library, her laptop balanced precariously on her knees.The musty smell of old books surrounded her as she typed furiously, trying to finish her senior thesis on cybersecurity protocols."Maya, are you seriously hiding back here again?" Her best friend Zoe appeared around the corner, arms crossed and wearing an amused expression."I'm not hiding as you can see I'm studying.""You're hiding from Gray. He's been looking for you all week." Zoe slid down the wall to sit beside her. "The guy is literally perfect. Valedictorian, headed to Google after graduation, and he's clearly into you."Maya's fingers paused over the keyboard. "I don't have time for relationships right now.""It's senior year, Maya. When exactly will you have time? After you graduate and disappear into whatever mysterious family business you never talk about?"The question hung in the air. Maya had spent four years at Somerset college ca
REVENGE OF THE PHANTOM HEIRESS CHAPTER 7 - The Apology
The sound of fists hitting leather echoed through the training room as Berry unleashed her frustration on the punching bag. Sweat dripped down her face, mixing with tears she refused to acknowledge. The bag swayed with each impact, but it wasn't enough. Nothing was enough to quiet the rage building inside her chest."You're going to break your hands if you keep hitting it like that."Berry spun around to find Cossy standing in the doorway, her expression unreadable. The older woman looked different somehow, smaller, like she'd left her armor outside."What do you want?" Berry's voice was raw from exertion."To apologize." Cossy stepped into the room, her movements careful and deliberate. "What I said earlier was out of line.""Which part? The part where you called me a damaged girl or the part where you said I'd get people killed?"Cossy winced. "Both. All of it because I was wrong.""Were you?" Berry grabbed a towel and wiped her face. "Because from where I'm standing, everything yo
REVENGE OF THE PHANTOM HEIRESS CHAPTER 6 - The Making Of A Weapon
The morning sun cast long shadows across the compound's training yard as Berry stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the heat waves dance across the Darwin landscape. Her reflection stared back at her, a stranger wearing her face. Six months in this place, and she still felt like she was living in someone else's skin. "You're up early," Theo's voice came from behind her. She didn't turn around. "I don't sleep much." "The nightmares?" "Fragments. Pieces of things I can't put together." She pressed her palm against the glass. "Sometimes I wonder if it's better not to remember." Theo moved to stand beside her, careful to maintain distance. He'd learned that sudden movements still made her flinch. "Memory is a funny thing. Sometimes it protects us by forgetting. Sometimes it protects us by remembering." "Which one am I?" "I don't know yet." Berry finally looked at him. "Who are you really, Theo? And don't give me that security consultant bullshit again." H
REVENGE OF THE PHANTOM HEIRESS CHAPTER 5 - Death and Rebirth
Dawn in the Australian outback painted the sky in shades of violence—deep purples bleeding into angry reds, the sun rising like a malevolent eye over terrain that had been killing the unprepared for thousands of years.Jezza ran across the broken landscape, her feet raw and bleeding from hours of desperate flight over sharp rocks and thorny scrub. The prison uniform they'd given her hung in tatters, offering no protection against the cutting wind or the temperature that swung from freezing to blazing as the sun climbed higher.Behind her, the sound of pursuit grew steadily closer.She had made it farther than anyone had ever managed before—nearly twelve miles from the facility before the tracking dogs caught her scent. But twelve miles meant nothing when her hunters had vehicles, weapons, and intimate knowledge of a country that wanted to kill her as much as they did.The helicopter found her first, its searchlight cutting through the pre-dawn gloom like a sword. Then came the ATVs,
REVENGE OF THE PHANTOM HEIRESS CHAPTER 4 - The Breaking Years
The first lesson came with the morning meal on day seven."You eat when we say, sleep when we say, speak when we say," Guard Morrison announced, kicking over the metal tray that held what might charitably be called breakfast. "Everything else is a privilege that gets earned."Jezza stared at the gray slop spreading across her cell floor. Her stomach cramped with hunger, but something deep inside her rebelled against crawling to lick food off concrete like an animal. She met Morrison's eyes instead."I'm not hungry."The baton caught her across the ribs before she could blink. Pain exploded through her torso, but she didn't make a sound. Morrison's face twisted with frustration."You'll learn, 47. They all learn eventually."But Jezza was already learning something else entirely. She was learning that she was tougher than anyone, including herself, had ever suspected.Six months passed in a blur of calculated cruelty. The facility operated on a schedule designed to break the human spi
