The ballroom erupted. Voices crashed over each other. “What?” “That’s impossible.” “When did this even happen?” Reporters surged toward the stage, phones raised, desperate to capture Mildred Jones up close.Across the room, the board members of Knight Biotech clustered together, whispering urgently. Investors exchanged tense, uncertain glances. In a matter of seconds, the polished elegance of the charity gala cracked wide open.Exactly as Mildred had planned. She stood at the center of it all, calm, composed, the microphone still resting lightly in her hand. She had imagined this moment more times than she could count. There is no second Jack Knight who would realize she hadn’t come back as prey, but as consequence. The fear on his face made every sleepless night worth it.Across the ballroom, Jack shoved through the crowd, heading straight for her.
