CLARK

She stepped back like I had already chosen against her.

That reaction bothered me more than anything else. Not the question, not the tension, just that step.

It was small, but it said everything. She was putting distance between us.

“I’m not helping Trent,” I said.

And I meant it. More than she probably believed.

“I didn’t say you were.”

Her tone didn’t change. It still sounded calm, controlled, and unreadable.

“You’re thinking about it,” I replied.

Because I could see it even if she didn

    CLARKShe stepped back like I had already chosen against her.That reaction bothered me more than anything else. Not the question, not the tension, just that step.It was small, but it said everything. She was putting distance between us.“I’m not helping Trent,” I said.And I meant it. More than she probably believed.“I didn’t say you were.”Her tone didn’t change. It still sounded calm, controlled, and unreadable.“You’re thinking about it,” I replied.Because I could see it even if she didn’t say it out loud.“I’m calculating,” she corrected.I let out a slow breath. That wasn’t her being defensive. That was her pulling back.I moved closer, lowering my voice.“The truth doesn’t automatically work for him.”I needed her to understand that.“It doesn’t automatically work for me either.”She didn’t hesitate. And she actually wasn’t wrong, so that was the problem. There was no clear answer here.I ran a hand through my hair, trying to steady my thoughts. Everything was moving too fas

    VICTORIAThe confirmation email stayed on my screen longer than it should have.I didn’t react right away. I just stared at it, letting the weight of it settle properly before I did anything stupid.Clark. As a witness.I read the message again, slower this time, like it might change. But it didn’t, and somehow that made everything feel heavier.My fingers hovered over the screen for a second before I dropped my hand.Trent wasn’t just trying to win. He was trying to break me in a way that couldn’t be fixed later. And using Clark meant he knew exactly where to hit.I picked up my bag without thinking too much about it. Sitting here and overthinking wouldn’t help. I needed to see him and hear it from him directly.The drive back to the office felt longer than usual. The roads were clear, but my mind wasn’t. Everything kept circling back to the same point.Clark wasn’t on the outside anymore. He wasn’t just helping or watching. He was now part of the case whether I liked it or not.I st

    VICTORIAI didn’t leave the office immediately after that.I stayed for a while, going through the files again, even though I already knew what they said. It wasn’t about understanding anymore. It was about making sure I didn’t miss anything.But there was nothing new.Just the same truth, sitting there, waiting.Eventually, I shut my laptop and stood up.There was nothing else to do here tonight.I grabbed my things and left the office without saying goodbye to anyone. Most people were already gone anyway. The building felt quiet, almost empty.The drive home felt longer than usual.Or maybe I just noticed it more.By the time I got to my place, the city lights were already bright, stretching across the skyline like nothing had changed.But everything had.I stepped into my room and dropped my bag on the chair without thinking. My heels came off next, one after the other, landing softly on the floor.Then I walked toward the window.I stood there for a while, just looking out.The ci

    VICTORIAThe idea grew heavier in my mind, threading through everything I’d seen over the last few months.I went back through every interaction, every glance, every carefully measured word. The summit came first. The way he had anticipated every move, every question, every challenge. Nothing he did then had been casual or reactive. It had been precise. Then the aftermath. When the media had exploded, when investors had panicked, when the board had called emergency meetings. He had been calm, methodical, always one step ahead. It hadn’t struck me then, but now it was clear. He hadn’t been caught off guard at all.I leaned forward, elbows on the desk, pressing my hands lightly to my forehead. The realization didn’t make me angry yet. I wasn’t emotional. I was just cold. He hadn’t just stayed connected longer than he admitted. He had been guiding things, subtly and quietly all along.Every time I thought I had caught a mistake or a surprise, I noticed how quickly he corrected it. How h

    VICTORIAI didn’t move for a while.The screen stayed lit in front of me, but I wasn’t reading anymore. I was just staring at it, letting everything settle in my head.Because reacting too fast would be a mistake. And I didn’t make those anymore.This time, I didn’t confront him immediately. I read everything first.Every detail. Every signature. Every date.Slowly and carefully, like I was picking it apart piece by piece.The document wasn’t long, but it said enough. It showed connections that were never fully cut. I went back to the first page again, then the last, then the middle, making sure I didn’t miss anything.Because if I was going to act on this, I needed to be right. Not emotional or reactive.Minutes passed, maybe more. The office stayed quiet around me, but my mind didn’t.It moved fast. Too fast.Connecting things. Putting pieces together. And then the pattern became clear.Clark had stayed connected to Trent longer than he admitted. Not openly, but enough to matter an

    VICTORIAThe next morning came too fast.I barely slept, but that didn’t matter. The moment I opened my eyes, my phone was already buzzing on the nightstand like it had been waiting for me.I had numerous messages, emails, and missed calls. Everything had started. The time change forced everything into motion.By the time I got to the office, the building already felt different. People moved faster. Voices were lower but sharper. Everyone knew something was happening, even if they didn’t have the full details.My legal team was scrambling. Investors had started calling. And the media had picked it up within hours.“Miss Hale, are you aware of the reports?” one of my assistants asked as she hurried beside me.“I’m aware,” I said without slowing down.“Do you want us to release a statement?”“Not yet.”“But—”“Not yet,” I repeated, a bit firmer this time.She nodded quickly and fell silent.The pressure I had felt before doubled instantly. But I didn’t show it.I walked into the first m

    VICTORIAI froze when Diana withdrew her hand from her bag. For a second, I thought she would be holding a knife or something crazy like that, because her hands were shaking so hard. But it wasn’t a weapon. It was a stack of papers, messy and folded a thousand times. She threw them at me, and they

    VICTORIAThe scent didn’t fade. It remained in the air like someone had sprayed it just a few minutes before I walked in. My chest tightened, and I stood there for a long moment, staring at the open balcony door. The curtains moved a little from the breeze outside, brushing the frame.I swallowed

One showed a smiling photo of Margaret taken two years ago, back when she still pretended she was just a patron of art and not a spider with
