The door slammed shut behind Elena.For several seconds, she didn't move.The man standing in front of her had just said the one thing she had spent the past few days trying not to believe.Someone knew she had been reborn.Her fingers tightened around the folder in her hand.“Who are you?”The stranger didn't answer immediately.Instead, he looked past her toward the hallway.“Lower your voice.”Elena's eyes narrowed.“I asked you a question.”“And I'm telling you that if you want to survive long enough to get your revenge, you need to listen.”The word revenge made her blood run cold.Nobody should know that.Nobody.In her previous life, Elena had died believing her entire family had betrayed her.Her fiancé had abandoned her.Her stepmother had stolen everything that belonged to her.And the people she trusted most had watched her downfall without lifting a finger.But now she had been given another chance.She had sworn never to make the same mistakes.Yet this man seemed to know

Elena stopped breathing.The voice.There was no mistaking it.Even after death, she could never forget that voice.Sweet.Gentle.Almost motherly.But behind it had always been something poisonous.Victoria Hart.Her stepmother.The woman who had smiled at Elena's funeral.The woman who had cried in front of reporters.The woman who had held Elena's photograph against her chest and told everyone how much she loved her.The same woman who had secretly celebrated Elena's death.Elena's fingers tightened around the broken glass.“You…”Victoria stepped forward.The faint emergency light from the hallway illuminated her face.She looked exactly the same as Elena remembered.Elegant black dress.Perfect hair.Diamond earrings.That gentle smile.Only now Elena could see what she had been too blind to notice before.There was no sorrow in those eyes.Only calculation.Victoria lifted the gun.“Put the glass down, Elena.”Elena didn't move.“You killed me.”Victoria smiled.“You finally rem

The black car sped through the rain.Elena sat in the back seat, staring at the small silver key resting in her palm.Her father's vault.The words continued to echo through her mind.For years, she had believed her father had left her nothing but debt, enemies, and a ruined family name.Now she was discovering that he had been hiding secrets from everyone—including her.She looked at Adrian.“Why didn't my father tell me about the vault?”“Because you weren't ready.”Elena scoffed.“I was his daughter.”“You were also being watched.”“By the organization?”Adrian nodded.“The Black Crown.”Elena's fingers tightened around the key.“What exactly do they want?”“Control.”“That doesn't tell me anything.”“They control businesses, politicians, financial institutions. Sometimes they don't even need to threaten people. They simply make one phone call.”Elena stared through the window.“And my father wanted to expose them.”“Yes.”“Then why did he fail?”Adrian was silent.Elena turned tow

“You're the reason it exists.”Damien's words echoed through the vault.Elena stared at the speaker, unable to process what she had just heard.00:27The countdown continued.Adrian grabbed her hand.“We're leaving. Now.”Elena pulled away.“No.”His eyes hardened.“Elena.”“My father knew.”“Whatever answers you're looking for, you won't find them if you're dead.”She looked at Carter, still kneeling on the floor.“What about him?”Adrian glanced at the two armed men.“They're coming with us.”One of the men raised his gun.“Not so fast.”Adrian moved faster.A sharp kick sent the weapon flying.The second man lunged.Adrian caught his arm, twisted it behind his back, and slammed him against the wall.Elena didn't waste a second.She grabbed Carter and pulled him toward the exit.00:19The red numbers flashed above them.“Adrian!”“I see it!”He shoved the second attacker aside and ran after them.They reached the steel door.It wouldn't open.Elena's heart raced.“It's locked!”Adri
