CHAPTERS FIFTY-ONE

Adrian’s POVThat was how the office felt the morning after Marcus Hale’s investigation became public. Knight Global’s headquarters was quieter than usual, but not calm. Every assistant moved carefully. Every executive spoke in lowered voices. People were waiting to see what I would do next.So was the world.I stood by the window in my office, looking down at the city. From this height, everything looked controlled. Ordered. But I knew better. One wrong move could still bring everything down.The door knocked once.“Come in,” I said.Sophia stepped inside, tablet tucked under her arm. Her face was sharp, focused, but there was relief under it.“You’re trending again,” she said.I sighed. “Good or bad?”“Better,” she replied. “Public sentiment is shifting. People like a man who doesn’t back down.”“They like a story,” I corrected.She nodded. “And right now, you’re winning the narrative.”“For now,” I said.Sophia studied me. “You don’t sound satisfied.”“I’m not finished,” I replied.

CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO

Clara’s POVThe day before the exhibition opened felt heavier than the days of fear that came before it.The gallery smelled like fresh paint and metal polish. Final adjustments were happening everywhere. Lights were tested. Labels aligned. Security moved in patterns that were now familiar to me.I stood in the center of the main hall, arms folded, staring at the largest installation.It looked different today.Not because it had changed, but because I had.“Clara.”I turned to see Sophia walking toward me, tablet in hand, heels clicking softly against the floor.“You haven’t eaten,” she said.“That obvious?” I asked.She nodded. “You’re vibrating.”I smiled faintly. “I’ll eat after.”“That’s what you said yesterday.”“And the day before,” I admitted.She glanced at the installation. “It’s powerful.”“So is pressure,” I replied.She tilted her head. “You’re handling it better than most people would.”“I don’t feel like I am,” I said.“That’s because you care,” she replied. “Indifferen

CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE

Adrian’s POVThe morning after the exhibition opened, my phone did not stop vibrating. Messages stacked faster than I could read them. Investors. Partners. Media requests. Allies who had stayed silent suddenly remembered my number.I ignored most of it. Because I knew what came after visibility.Reaction.I stood in my office, jacket off, sleeves rolled up, staring at the skyline. The city looked the same as always, but I felt different inside it. Clara’s exhibition had done more than succeed. It had shifted something. Not just in public opinion—but in power.And power does not like to be challenged.Sophia knocked once and entered without waiting.“They’re circling,” she said.“Who?” I asked, though I already knew.“Everyone who pretended to be neutral,” she replied. “They want statements.

It had been about claiming the right to create, to live, to make choices without fear.“Clara?”I turned to see Sophia standing at the entrance, a coffee in each hand. Her smile was soft, but her eyes were sharp as always.“You’ve got that look,” she said, handing me a cup. “Like you’re about to collapse from relief or explode from adrenaline. Hard to tell which.”I accepted the coffee, taking a slow sip. “Maybe both,” I admitted. “It’s been… intense.”Sophia stepped closer, lowering her voice. “The board confirmed Adrian’s moves this morning. Everything’s official. Marcus Hale has no leverage anymore. No one can touch him.”
