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
The Woman Who Cracked The Code Chapter 3: The Boardroom Execution
POV: LyraThe revolving glass doors spun with a heavy thud, and I stepped out onto the sidewalk just as Elias was handing his car keys to the valet, but he stopped mid-motion when his eyes landed on me. He stared at my designer suit and my sharp, expensive bob, and for a second, he actually stumbled over his own feet while his mistress, Chloe, clung to his arm like a trophy she was afraid to drop."Lyra? What are you doing here, and why are you dressed like you actually have somewhere important to be?" Elias asked, his voice dripping with the same condescension that used to make me shrink, but today it just made me want to laugh."I do have somewhere to be, Elias, because I have a ten o'clock meeting with the board of directors at Thorne Industries, and I believe you’re here because you’re hoping Xavier will renew your server lease before it expires at midnight," I said, checking my watch before looking up at Xavier, who was watching the exchange with a cold, unreadable expression."Y
The Woman Who Cracked The Code Chapter 2: The Deal With The Devil
POV: LyraThe silence in Xavier’s office was so heavy that I could hear the rain tapping against the reinforced glass, but I didn't let my eyes wander back to the photograph on his desk, even though the sight of that little girl had sent a jolt of electricity through my spine. Xavier watched me with a look that suggested he was trying to figure out if I was a desperate woman or a brilliant spy, and he finally sat down in his chair, gesturing for me to do the same, though I remained standing."You’re asking for a lot, Lyra, and you’re doing it while you look like you just crawled out of a storm, so tell me why I shouldn't just call security and have them hand you back to Elias," he said, his voice smooth but dangerous, and he leaned back while crossing his arms over his chest."Because if you do that, you lose the chance to own the Aegis architecture before the sun comes up, and you know as well as I do that Elias can’t maintain that system without the master encryption key that is cur
