Rising From The Ashes Chapter 81: Into the Lion’s Den
The cold in Moscow was unlike any cold Natalie had ever felt.It seeped through her gloves, her coat, her skin—straight to the bone, biting and unforgiving. Snow fell in sharp flakes as she stepped onto the tarmac of a discreet military airstrip just outside the city limits, flanked by Cassandra, Adrian, and two members of the Phoenix Collective’s European security unit.It had taken less than forty-eight hours to arrange this meeting.Because when you carried names, secrets, and damning truths about the Sovereign Accord, you didn’t request appointments—you demanded attention.The man they were here to meet had once been one of the Accord’s founding architects. A ghost on every intelligence watchlist. A man who hadn’t been seen publicly in almost ten years.Vladimir Reznikov.“Why now?” Cassandra asked as they trudged through the snow. “Why is he suddenly willing to talk?”“Because he knows what’s coming,” Natalie said quietly. “And for the first time, it’s something he didn’t plan.”
Rising From The Ashes Chapter 80: The Tipping Point
The first sign of victory came not with a bang—but with silence.For days, the world had been caught in a whirlwind. From headlines blasting accusations at Natalie Evans to global protests demanding transparency from governments, the media had been a minefield. Yet on the morning of the sixth day after the Geneva Summit, something changed.The smear campaigns stopped.The trolls vanished.And most telling of all, several prominent politicians who had vocally denied the existence of the Sovereign Accord issued sudden, carefully-worded statements of resignation.Natalie sat in the new operations center—nicknamed The Ember Room—staring at her screen.“They’re pulling back,” Riley confirmed, scrolling through her real-time social analytics dashboard. “Engagement on hate campaigns is tanking. Bot farms are shutting down. Someone flipped the switch.”“They’re regrouping,” Cassandra said flatly, cleaning her sidearm. “It’s not surrender. It’s strategy.”“Still,” Adrian added, stepping in wit
Rising From The Ashes Chapter 79: Through Fire and Fury
The blaze had long been extinguished, but the smoke still clung to the air like a stubborn ghost. Charred walls groaned under the weight of ruin, and the Evans Initiative’s once-proud headquarters stood as nothing more than a skeletal monument to resistance.Natalie stood before it, the wind tugging strands of hair across her face, her expression unreadable.She didn’t speak as fire investigators moved around her. She didn’t flinch when a mangled server unit was dragged out of the rubble. But inside, something seismic was cracking. This place—this home they had built from courage, hope, and sacrifice—had been their lighthouse.And now, it was ash.Adrian approached carefully, his boots crunching debris. “We recovered some hard drives. Riley’s backing up whatever data we can salvage.”She nodded once.“Elias is okay. Cassandra got him out in time. But... this was personal.”“It always has been,” Natalie whispered.He waited a moment, then asked, “What do you want to do?”She turned slo
Rising From The Ashes Chapter 78: Let the Storm Come
A single email. That’s all it would take.Natalie stood in the Evans Initiative war room, surrounded by the quiet hum of anticipation. The countdown clock on the wall ticked closer to zero—fifteen minutes until every press outlet, journalist, advocacy group, and watchdog agency across the globe received a digital dossier of damning evidence.They’d named it Project Reckoning.“Are you sure about this?” Riley asked, seated in front of the master terminal, fingers poised above the enter key. “This isn’t just a leak—it’s a declaration of war.”“I’m done playing defense,” Natalie replied, calm but resolute. “They’ve silenced too many people. Buried too many truths. It's time they felt what it's like to be hunted.”Behind her, Adrian stood tall, arms crossed, eyes sharp with unspoken protectiveness. Cassandra sat against the wall, checking her firearm one last time—though she doubted this war would be fought with bullets alone.Natalie walked slowly around the room, her eyes tracing the co
Rising From The Ashes Chapter 77: Bloodlines and Battlefields
The past has a cruel way of waiting until you’re strong—just to test if you’ve really healed.Natalie stared at the photo again, the corners crumpled now from how many times she’d clenched it in her fist. Her father. Alive. Smiling in the company of Damien Rourke. A man who once terrified her now appearing cordial, professional, even familiar.She couldn’t sleep.Even with Adrian quietly dozing beside her on the couch, the hum of the fireplace low and comforting, her mind whirled too fast for rest. She rose gently, grabbed a robe, and padded into her home office.A single lamp cast a pool of golden light over the chaos of maps, reports, and files. She reached into the drawer of her desk and pulled out a worn leather folder—its corners faded, the binding loose. Inside were memories she had buried decades ago. Her mother’s obituary. A sketch Lily had drawn with the word “hope” scrawled in childish block letters. And beneath them, an old police report.It had been filed the night she cal
Rising From The Ashes Chapter 76: The Echo of Truth
The world didn’t crumble after Natalie Evans confessed.It roared.Social media lit up like wildfire. Hashtags such as #StandWithNatalie, #TruthWithoutShame, and #RisingFromTheAshes trended across multiple countries. Messages poured in—some from broken souls who’d faced their own traumas, others from political figures, activists, and ordinary people who’d felt buried beneath the shame of past wounds.Natalie sat in her office, reading each message not as validation, but as a mirror of the very people she had vowed to represent. People who had once been silenced.But not everyone was offering support.At least three major sponsors withdrew from their pending agreements with the Evans Initiative. A few tabloids released lurid reinterpretations of her story, complete with manipulated headlines designed to spark outrage.Still, Natalie remained calm. She had expected it.“Damage report?” she asked, glancing up at Riley, who paced with her tablet in hand.“Two minor partnerships pulled fun
