Rising From The Ashes Chapter 75: Allies in the Shadows
The days that followed felt like the quiet before the earthquake. A deceptive calm. The kind of silence that was never natural—too still, too calculated. Natalie Evans knew better than to relax.She stood alone in the rooftop garden of the Evans Initiative headquarters, the city glittering beneath her like a thousand lies yet to be exposed. The wind tugged gently at her coat as she scrolled through the classified reports Riley had compiled, each page another thread in the growing conspiracy web surrounding NovaLink and its silent partners.A name repeated itself often enough to make her skin crawl.The Sovereign Accord.A ghost organization. No legal footprint. No registered business entities. Yet its members controlled influential shares in oil, defense contracts, biotech, and media conglomerates.“Powerful ghosts,” she murmured under her breath.“They’re more than that,” came a voice from behind her.Natalie didn’t flinch. Adrian Sinclair stepped forward from the shadows, holding tw
Rising From The Ashes Chapter 74: The World Watches
The world was watching. And Natalie Evans was acutely aware of it.For the past seventy-two hours, her name had been mentioned on every major global news network. Not just as a philanthropist or entrepreneur, but as a revolutionary. A woman who had stood up, called out corporate corruption, and refused to sit back down. She had forced powerful hands into the light—and now, retaliation brewed beneath the surface.But she had prepared for this moment her entire life.In the heart of the Evans Initiative headquarters, Natalie stood before a massive world map displayed across the wall of the war room. Pins and notes were scattered across multiple countries—London, Tokyo, Dubai, New York. Global affiliates, funding partners, and more importantly, weak links in the system she was about to dismantle.Riley Cho was seated beside a digital projection table, her fingers flying across the interface.“We’ve confirmed full alignment from our European allies,” she said. “But our Tokyo division is s
Rising From The Ashes Chapter 73: The Smoke Clears
The morning after the gala was anything but calm.Natalie Evans sat at the long table in the conference room of the Evans Initiative headquarters, dressed in a crisp black blazer and a pale blouse, her coffee cooling untouched in front of her. Outside the frosted glass walls, the rest of the office buzzed with frantic phone calls and a press team trying to tame the media frenzy unleashed by her explosive speech the night before.Across from her, Riley Cho tapped rapidly at her tablet, streaming live social media sentiment and major news outlets. Headlines scrolled across the screen:"Natalie Evans Declares War on Corporate Corruption.""Evans Initiative Data Dump Sends Shockwaves Through Industry.""Silicon Giants Linked to Sabotage Plot Against Evans Foundation."Natalie leaned back in her chair, arms crossed. “Give me the breakdown.”Riley blew a breath through her teeth. “Fifty-four million views on your speech in twelve hours. Trending number one globally. We’ve had fifteen whistl
Rising From The Ashes Chapter 72: The Gala of Reckoning
The night of the Evans Initiative launch gala had arrived like the eye of a hurricane—calm on the surface, seething beneath. The grand ballroom of the Andelorian Hotel shimmered with chandeliers, polished marble floors, and hundreds of guests in tailored suits and glittering gowns.Every major news network had a crew stationed by the red carpet. Celebrities, politicians, CEOs, and foreign dignitaries buzzed about the room like moths to a flame. But Natalie Evans wasn’t just the flame—she was the firestorm.Inside her dressing suite, Natalie stood before the mirror as her stylist added the final touches to her crimson silk gown. The gown hugged her figure with power and grace, the color not chosen for fashion, but for symbolism—resurgence, passion, danger.Adrian stepped into the room quietly. “You’re trending on four platforms and you haven’t even made your entrance yet.”Natalie gave a tight smile. “Let them talk. They’re about to see the real show.”He studied her reflection. “Are y
Rising From The Ashes Chapter 71: Echoes of Power
The wind howled across the city skyline, a cold front sweeping in as if mirroring the chill brewing in Natalie Evans’s veins. She stood in the main hall of the Evans Initiative headquarters—an architectural marvel of glass, steel, and fierce determination. The launch gala was only a day away. Her staff moved with calculated urgency, every step rehearsed, every detail scrutinized. But Natalie’s focus wasn’t on flowers or press releases. It was on the invisible war being waged against her.She tightened the belt around her tailored navy coat and adjusted her gloves, preparing to leave. Today’s meeting wasn’t in the office, and it wasn’t about aesthetics. It was strategy.And she was done playing defense.The black SUV cut through the quiet of early morning as it drove toward the edge of the city. Natalie sat in the back seat, silent, scrolling through the latest financial reports and encrypted messages her tech team had decrypted overnight. Adrian’s flash drive had unlocked a hornet’s n
Rising From The Ashes Chapter 70: The Quiet Before the Storm
Natalie Evans stood on the balcony of the penthouse suite overlooking the city, her sharp eyes scanning the horizon as dawn painted streaks of gold across the skyline. The glass of red wine in her hand remained untouched. Sleep had evaded her again, not due to nightmares—but calculations. Thoughts. Strategies.She was no longer the woman who once cried herself to sleep over a man who never truly valued her. She was power in stilettos. The kind of woman people whispered about—some with awe, others with fear.Behind her, the penthouse was quiet. Her daughter, Lily, still peacefully tucked in bed after Natalie had kissed her goodnight, humming the same lullaby her mother once sang to her. That single ritual reminded her of who she was doing all this for. Not revenge. Not even to prove them wrong anymore. But to secure a future where Lily would never have to shrink herself to fit into someone else’s world.The sound of the elevator arriving broke the silence. Natalie turned, her heels cli
