January 21, 2026. 6:47 AM.
Thirty thousand feet over the Atlantic, the air is recycled and dry, humming with the monotonous drone of turbine engines.
I am wedged into a window seat in the back row, staring at the banking app on my phone until the numbers blur.
Balance: $10.77.

The Debt Collector's Price CHAPTER 130: THE TRANSPARENT FUTURE
ISLA'S POVJanuary 28, 2027. One year later.Morrison Estate. The south plateau.I stand among the saplings, the January wind biting through my gloves.Oak, birch, pine. They’re small, fragile things, barely more than sticks in the frozen ground. But the roots are taking hold. They’re growing.The farmhouse ruins are gone. Cleared away like a bad dream. In their place stands the memorial: glass and stone, cold to the touch but catching the winter light with a stark beauty.Names engraved deep into the surface. The victims of the Black Swan. The people the syndicate hurt.It’s a place of remembrance. A place of healing.Visitors come week
The Debt Collector's Price CHAPTER 129: THE CHOSEN CO-SOVEREIGN
ISLA'S POVJanuary 28, 2026. 8:07 PM.The wind on Morrison Ridge has teeth, stripping the heat from my skin the second I step away from the fire.Below us, the Atlantic is a black void, crashing against the rocks with a rhythm I can feel in the soles of my boots. We built the fire from driftwood and pine kindling scrounged from the tree line. The flames snap and twist, painting the darkness in erratic strokes of orange and gold.Gabriel tends it. He moves slowly, the exhaustion of the last month finally catching up to his limbs. But there is peace in the way he places the wood. Deliberate. Calm.I watch him. The man I love. The man I chose when the math said I shouldn't.The island is dark. Quiet. No trackers pinging my pho

ISLA'S POVJanuary 28, 2026. 4:03 PM.Morrison Estate. The airstrip.The sound hits us before we see them—a low, thrumming vibration that rattles the windows of the modular HQ.Three federal helicopters descend from the gray Maine sky. Black. Unmarked. Official. They kick up a storm of snow and frozen dirt as they touch down, the rotors slicing through the quiet we just fought so hard to win.Agent Miller. SEC investigators. Federal marshals.The law has come for the reckoning.I watch from the boardroom window, my hands resting on the sill. The glass is cold under my palms. Gabriel stands beside me, close enough that I can feel the heat radiating off him, but he doesn't touch me.
The Debt Collector's Price CHAPTER 127: THE $347M RESTITUTION
ISLA'S POVJanuary 28, 2026. 1:03 PM.Morrison Estate. My office.I sit at the desk, the laptop screen glowing cool against my tired eyes.Beside me, Gabriel has shed the tactical gear. He’s wearing a simple shirt, sleeves rolled up to the elbows, exposing forearms that have carried weapons for fifteen years. Now, they just rest on the armrests, relaxed but present.I feel the physical weight of the Enter key under my index finger. The plastic is smooth, cold.My father spent his life building this weapon. The demolition protocol.Now I’m executing it.The screen displays a cascading list of Walsh's offshore accounts. Dozens of them. Cayman Is

GABRIEL'S POVJanuary 28, 2026. 10:07 AM.The wind on the north perimeter cuts through my jacket, carrying the salt-heavy bite of the Atlantic. I walk the ridge, my stride automatic, boots finding purchase on the frozen earth.The island is quiet. Not the tense silence of an ambush, but the emptiness of a battlefield after the smoke clears.I pull my phone from my pocket. The screen glows against the grey morning light as I log into the Hunt Capital contractor portal.ACCOUNT STATUS: DEACTIVATED EFFECTIVE: JANUARY 28, 2026No insurance. No legal cover. No paycheck clearing at the end of the month.Technically, I am a trespasser on private land.

ISLA'S POVJanuary 28, 2026. 8:03 AM.Morrison Estate. The boardroom.The sun is fully up now, spilling a harsh, golden light through the windows that exposes every dust mote dancing in the air.The helicopters are gone. Just black specks dissolving into the southern horizon, taking Hale, taking Walsh, taking the rotting weight of the past with them. The silence they leave behind is heavy, ringing in my ears like the aftermath of a gunshot.For the first time in my life, I don’t hear my father’s ghost whispering about debts and vaults. I don’t hear the syndicate’s static.I hear silence. Absolute. Clean.Sarah Kim and Elena Vasquez are still here, sitting
