  • The Widow's Game   Chapter 81: The Pressure

    Nathaniel's PovThe stock opened down three percent, and by noon it was down seven, and Marcus came into my office without knocking and said we have a problem, and I told him I could see the problem on my screen."This is not normal volatility," Marcus said. "Someone is shorting us aggressively.""How much volume?""Enough to move the price. Millions of shares. This is coordinated."I pulled up the trading data and looked at the pattern and he was right because the

    Evangeline's PovThey came for me at four in the morning, which was the first sign that something was wrong because transfers did not happen at four in the morning unless someone wanted them to happen quietly.A guard I did not recognize opened my cell and said, "Pack your things," and I sat up and looked at Sandra, who was already awake and watching."Where am I going?" I asked."You will find out when you get there," the guard said."I need to know where I am bein

    Nathaniel's PovThe courtroom was smaller than I expected and the gallery was full which told me the press had been following the hearing schedule closely and I sat behind the defense table next to my lawyer and watched Evangeline walk in wearing a gray blazer over her prison clothes because her lawyer had arranged for her to change before the hearing.She sat down at the defense table and did not look at me right away and when she finally did she held my gaze for a second and then turned to face the front of the room.She looked tired but composed and that was the right way to look.The judge came in and everyone stood and then sat again and the prosecutor stood up and started.His name was Aldridge and he was in his forties and he spoke the way people speak when they have done this a hundred times and are not nervous about any of it."Your Honor we are asking that bail remain deni

    Nathaniel’s PovIt took Marcus four days to trace the leak and when he came to my office to tell me what he found he closed the door first and sat down across from my desk and put a single printed page in front of me."His name is Gerald Finch," Marcus said. "He is on the board of Mercer Hill Private Hospital which is the hospital where Evangeline had her prenatal appointments before her arrest."I looked at the page."He is also on the board of two companies that have contracts with Harrow Industries," Marcus continued. "He has known Victor for at least fi

    Evangeline's PovIt started over food which was how most things started in the cafeteria and by the time I understood what was happening it had already gone from a shoving match to something bigger.I was sitting at my usual table with my tray when a woman two tables over threw her food at another woman, and that other woman threw it back, and then someone else got up and then someone else, and within about forty seconds it was not two people anymore.I pushed back from my table and stayed in my seat because the first rule of a fight you are not part of is to not become part of it.
