The Woman Who Cracked The Code Chapter 9: The Elephant In The Room
POV: Lyra The pause was brief but it spoke volume. "You ran from Elias. You ran to this building. You ran an operation without telling anyone who might have helped you because telling someone would mean trusting someone and trusting someone would mean staying still long enough to be trusted back.""That's a very tidy analysis," I said, "of a situation you know about three percent of."" The night after the contest..." he said loud and quickly like he had to say it before he would stop himself. I went completely still. "That's not relevant," I said."You left before I woke up," he said. "You left a note that said five words with no phone number. That was it. Five words and you were gone. I spent longer than I am comfortable admitting.... trying to understand what I had done wrong.""You didn't do anything wrong.""I know that now. At the time I did not." He looked at me steadily. "And then I saw the announcement of your engagement to Elias and found out you were working for him.
The Woman Who Cracked The Code CHAPTER 8: When The Storms Rage
Pov: Lyra I woke up on a cot and the cot had a spring that had given up somewhere in the middle and it dug into my ribs every time I moved. I slept anyway. I couldn't say I slept well or peacefully. Who would sleep well in my situation? I tossed and turned for hours and was only to be awake at six fourteen.My mother was still asleep. I could see she was still breathing in that shallow, fragile way that had scared me half to death the night before and had not stopped scaring me just because the sun had come up.I sat on the edge of the cot and looked at her for a long moment, memorising the rise and fall of her chest the way you memorise things you are afraid of losing, and then I picked up my phone.Xavier Thorne had called. The notification said I missed his call at eleven forty-seven pm. I knew I would have to face him at one or the other.I opened the ghost drive app. It still showed that the upload had been intercepted at sixty eight percent.My stomach dropped all over again ev
The Woman Who Cracked The Code Chapter 7: The Evening Of Chaos
POV: LyraThe SUV was deadbeat when it arrived."It was all I could get at such short notice, Lyra." Dre had told me on the phone. "The driver is my boy and can be trusted. Besides, you don't need anything fancy and attention grabbing on such a move, or do you?""Anything you say and do is fine by me. I just need to get out of here." I replied "The nursing home is in a secluded area of the city and it's perfect. I know a lot of people there and they owe me favours." He told me.I knew Dre knew the streets. Anything he recommended was perfect. The old SUV bounced through the road in the dark with the innocent looking young man at the driver's seat. He didn't look like someone who would be in business with Dre. But having been on the streets myself looking for survival, I knew looks could be deceptive. Every time the SUV hit a pothole, I felt my mother flinch against my shoulder. I pulled her a little closer, careful not to disturb the oxygen tubes and it's bottle, and kept my eyes mo
The Woman Who Cracked The Code Chapter 6: Meeting With The Enemy
POV: LyraElias let the silence stretch between us like he was enjoying it.He had always loved this part. The moment before the terms. The moment where the other person was still hoping the blow would be softer than they feared. He had done it to me in boardrooms and in bedrooms and in every quiet space between, and he had always mistaken my patience for weakness.He was making the same mistake now."Hi Bitch, I didn't think you would come," he said, tilting his head with that small, practiced smile."Ooooh really then you don't know me, Elias. I fight for what belongs to me. "Elias laughed hard and long " You talk tough now, don't you Lyra? Oh...I forgot you have the backing of the great and mighty Xavier. That gives you leverage or so you think" "What do you want, Elias?""Nothing but the encryption keys .."" Well you can't have them. They belong to Xavier now. Something flickered behind his eyes. Mild surprise at the steadiness of my voice. He had expected trembling. He had bui
The Woman Who Cracked The Code When The War Begins
POV: LyraMy fingers stayed frozen around the phone long after the line went dead. I couldn't breathe for a moment. I couldn’t hear anything inside the office anymore....not the soft hum of the air conditioner or the faint clicking of Xavier’s keyboard. I couldn't hear the voices drifting in from the hallway.Everything faded into a thick, suffocating silence.All I could hear was Elias’s voice telling me " You met your daughter today…"My stomach twisted so violently I thought I might throw up.My daughter.The small girl with wide dark eyes and soft curls who had stood in the doorway holding Isabella’s hand like she belonged there… like she had always belonged there.My lungs finally dragged in a breath, but it came out shaking in violent tremors. “Lyra?”Xavier’s voice sounded far away. It felt like he was calling me from the other side of a river I blinked hard and forced myself to turn toward him.He wasn’t working on his laptop anymore. He was just watching me. His eyes wer
The Woman Who Cracked The Code Chapter 4: The Ex-Wife Returns
POV: LyraThe screen of my phone was still glowing with the image of my mother in her hospital bed, and I felt like the floor was tilting beneath my feet, but I had to shove the device into my pocket because the heavy double doors of the executive suite swung open without a warning. A woman walked in like she owned the entire building, her heels clicking with a sharp, arrogant rhythm that demanded attention, and she was holding the hand of a small girl who looked like a miniature version of the face I saw in my own mirror every morning."Xavier, darling, the security downstairs tried to tell me you were in a meeting, but I told them that a mother doesn't need an appointment to bring a daughter to see her father," the woman said, her voice sounding like honey poured over broken glass.I froze where I stood because I knew that voice, and when she finally turned her head to look at me, the air left my lungs in a painful rush. It was Isabella, the half-sister I hadn't seen since the night
