Three years, Three Billion dollars- His worst mistake Arrest
POV: EvelynThe news reached us while I was folding laundry.Not exactly the dramatic setting I'd imagined for the end of Samantha Hayes.One minute I was standing in the living room trying to match Toby's socks—which somehow never seemed to have actual partners—and the next my phone buzzed across the coffee table.Rebecca.I answered without thinking."Please tell me you have good news for once."There was a pause.Then she laughed.Not the bitter laugh I'd gotten used to over the past year.A real one."They got her."My hands stopped moving."What?""They arrested Samantha."The words settled quietly between us.No explosions.No grand speeches.Just one simple sentence.They arrested Samantha.I sat down slowly on the couch because my knees suddenly didn't seem interested in supporting the rest of me anymore."It's over?""I think it finally is."Think.Not know.I understood why she chose that word.After everything Samantha had done, certainty felt dangerous."I've seen the foot
Three years, Three Billion dollars- His worst mistake Peace
Evelyn~The strange thing about peace was how quietly it arrived. There was no dramatic moment where someone announced everything was finally over. No fireworks. No speeches. No sudden magical feeling that the weight had disappeared. Instead, life simply kept moving. Only this time it moved without fear.I noticed it one Tuesday morning when Toby complained that we were out of cereal. Not medicine. Not court dates. Not reporters. Just cereal. I stood in the kitchen staring at him while he frowned dramatically into an empty cupboard.“What?” “You just complained about breakfast.” “So?”I could not stop smiling. “So nothing.”He narrowed his eyes suspiciously. “You are being weird.” “I have always been weird.” “Yeah, but today you are smiling while doing it.”He was not wrong. Somewhere along the way we had stopped surviving. Now we were just living. I had almost forgotten what that looked like.Leone walked into the kitchen carrying a toolbox under one arm. “The upstairs bathro
Three years, Three Billion dollars- His worst mistake Detained
Samantha~The interrogation room was disappointingly ordinary. Gray walls. Metal table. Two chairs bolted to the floor. A security camera tucked into the corner. Cheap fluorescent lights buzzed just enough to become irritating after a few minutes. I had expected something more dramatic. Then again, dramatic was for television. Real life had always been painfully boring.I folded my hands on the table and waited. Patience had built my empire. It could survive one interview.The door opened. Two investigators stepped inside. Neither smiled. Neither looked intimidated. Interesting. Most people eventually did.One introduced himself. “Detective Collins.”“I know.”He did not react. The woman beside him placed a recorder on the table.“This interview is being recorded.”“Naturally.”Click. The red light came on. Collins opened a file.“You have been arrested on multiple charges.”“I heard.”“Fraud.” “Money laundering.” “Witness intimidation.”I smiled faintly. “Allegedly.”He ignored
Three years, Three Billion dollars- His worst mistake The hospital(3)
Arthur~Nobody spoke above a whisper. Not because anyone had been told to. Because silence felt safer. The operations room sat inside an unremarkable government building on the edge of the city. Beige walls. Fluorescent lights. Terrible coffee. If someone walked in without knowing what was happening, they would assume it was another ordinary Monday. It was not.Every person in this room was waiting for one woman. One woman who had spent years staying three steps ahead of everyone. One woman who had destroyed careers. Destroyed families. Destroyed lives. One woman who had somehow convinced herself she would never lose.A digital clock on the wall changed. 9:58. Two minutes. Nobody moved. Detective Collins stood beside the main screen, arms folded tightly across his chest. “Vehicle teams are in position.”Someone answered through his headset. “Confirmed.” Another voice. “North exit covered.” Another. “South access secure.”Everything sounded calm. Too calm. I had learned that the most d
Three years, Three Billion dollars- His worst mistake The hospital(2)
Arthur~The call came at 4:17 in the morning. I had been awake for almost an hour already. Sleep and I had not exactly been on speaking terms lately. I reached for the phone before the second ring.“Arthur.”“Do not hang up.”Detective Collins. His voice was clipped. Professional. The kind of voice people used when they already knew your day was about to get significantly worse. I sat up. “What happened?”“We found her.”For a second my brain refused to process the sentence. Then it did. My feet were already on the floor before I realized I had moved. “You found Samantha?”“We believe so.”Believe. Not confirmed. Close enough to matter. “Where?”“I will explain when you get here.”The line went dead. No details. No reassurance. Nothing. I looked at the clock again. 4:18. Something about the time made everything feel unreal. Like the world was not supposed to change before sunrise. Apparently nobody had told Samantha that.By six o’clock the task force headquarters looked more like a m
Three years, Three Billion dollars- His worst mistake The hospital
Evelyn~Hospitals smelled exactly the same no matter how many times you walked into them. Disinfectant. Coffee that had been sitting too long. Freshly cleaned floors. Fear. I used to think that last one was in my imagination. Now I was not so sure. Maybe fear actually had a smell. If it did, I had lived with it long enough to recognize it anywhere.Toby walked beside me, hands shoved into the pockets of his hoodie, looking significantly less nervous than I felt. Naturally. The child who was actually getting examined had somehow become the calm one. Meanwhile my stomach had been in knots since six that morning.Leone noticed. Of course he did. He reached over and squeezed my hand. “You have checked the appointment time four times.”“I have checked it twice.”He raised an eyebrow. “Six.”“…Fine.”Toby looked back at us. “You guys are weird.”“Your mother is weird.”I gasped dramatically. “The betrayal.”Leone smiled. “I will recover.”Toby snorted. “I do not think she will.”Wonderful.
Three years, Three Billion dollars- His worst mistake A Private Arrangement
POV: RebeccaBy the time I got into the car, I had already decided how this was going to go.There was no point overthinking it. Evelyn was calculative but not unpredictable. She didn’t make random moves, and she definitely didn’t keep something like a child hidden without a reason and if there was
Three years, Three Billion dollars- His worst mistake Damage control
POV: RebeccaBy the time the headlines broke, it was as if all hell was let loose.Everything about the situation was fucking messy and not just the type we could sweep under the rug. This was the kind that spread fast, picked up attention, and refused to die down no matter how much money or influe
Three years, Three Billion dollars- His worst mistake Exactly as planned
POV: EvelynAfter planning for weeks, it was time to meet with the board and move the project along. I walked in without rushing and to my surprise, Arthur was already seated at the end of the table, posture stiff in a way that told me he was trying very hard to look like he still had control of s
Three years, Three Billion dollars- His worst mistake Chapter 6
POV: EvelynThe house was quiet when I stepped inside, I stood by the door with my hand still resting on the handle, letting my eyes move slowly across the familiar space.Nothing had changed.Everything was exactly where it had always been, from the polished floors to the carefully arranged furnit
