Mia swallowed the irritation rising in her throat. “Your mother said you’re ready,” he continued. “Are you?” “Yes, I am.” Her answer came immediately. Martin leaned back in his chair before tossing a file across the desk. “Then read that.” Mia opened it. The first thing that caught her attention was the name boldly printed on the first page. Ethan Brooks. Her heartbeat slowed. Everyone knew the Brooks. The Scotts were wealthy and influential, but the Brooks operated on an entirely different level. Across the country, their name commanded respect and fear. No one challenged them.

Climbing off the top bunk, I stretched. “Merry Christmas,” Brooks said from the bottom bunk. “Merry Christmas,” I muttered back. I’d given it a lot of thought last night, I was going to try to distance myself from Brooks a bit. I’d sort of fallen into a friendship with him under false pretenses. He’d been the one to show me the ropes, claiming that no one would touch him because his father paid off the guards. Nothing could be further than the truth. No one would touch him because he stabbed people in the neck with pencils. And after the guard’s ominous warning yesterday, I was wary about spending time with him.

“It means whatever happened that night… wasn’t random.” •••••••••••••••• Adrik The safehouse where I met Agent Brooks was quiet—no one around but the hum of a vending machine in the hallway. Brooks sat casually at the edge of a table, files in hand, smug as always. His coat was still wet with snow, tie loosened. An image of stress and cunny behavior. “You said you had something for me.” He slid a folder across the table. “I did some digging. Your mother’s case file was… messy. But I found something.”

However, a breath sucked in, the cold pain in her stomach driving her mad, and she instantly fell back. "Haven't fallen yet?" One of the servants laughed, "Who doesn't know now? Mr. Brook has been accused of bribery and taking lives. Miss, you've been sleeping with the second-generation wealthy guys. Early this morning, many of the wealthy firms that used to be on good terms with Mr. Brook sent people to turn the house upside down. They took away whatever was associated with them, tore up what they couldn't take, clearly indicating that they want nothing to do with the Brook family anymore."

Zariah’s POV The bank was old-Atlanta money, marble and brass on Peachtree, the kind of institution that kept its vault behind three courtesies and a signature card. My name was on that card. I hadn't known that either. I learned it standing at the manager's mahogany desk while a soft-spoken man in a gray suit pulled the access record for box eleven forty-seven and turned it toward me, and I saw my father's careful architect's printing, Marcus A. Brooks, beside a second line, a co-signatory, added years ago, in a signature I had never once written on this or any other bank document. Zariah D. Brooks. My own name, forged in my father's hand, made an executor I'd never agreed to be, given the

"Deal with me, Brooks. Leave... Riven... out of this." Master Brooks moved to a chair a little far from us, like a podium. He sat back in his high, leather-backed chair at the head of the room. He crossed his legs. He looked down at Sky with a cold, disgusted look—no emotions, not a single one. This man is a monster!

Brock- I was feeling seriously annoyed and angry. Stephanie's behavior seemed so childish, as if she were a second-grader playing pranks on her classmates. Sure, her pranks were high-tech, but they still felt immature. Despite this, I couldn't help but be impressed by the technology she had created. I realized she could be a valuable asset to my company. I made a mental note to try to convince her to move beyond being an intern and take on a bigger role, perhaps even running the entire company's security department.

was going to be the most hated headline in the financial district. I hadn't slept. The silence of the mansion was heavy, a constant reminder of the night I had spent wondering if I would ever see Lena alive again. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her pale face and the way she had collapsed in my arms. Daniel Brooks had crossed a line he couldn't uncross. He thought he was playing a game of hide-and-seek, but he had invited a monster into his world.

It all fits too well. Like Gunner said, Brook is a tiny woman. She’s barely five foot two, so for her to be able to take out a six-foot guy, she had to bring him down to her first, weaken him, then kill him. I don’t turn immediately. I just stare ahead for a second before looking back at Killian, my focus shifting. “Any updates?” I ask. Killian and Jack shake their heads almost in unison. “No new movement on her accounts,” Killian says. “We haven’t picked up any deposits close to the amount she withdrew.”

“Sir…” Perry hesitated, “Recently, through my interactions with Miss Brooks, I've noticed something unusual about her. I'm afraid these past years haven't been as good for her as you think.” Cameron paused his writing. “What do you mean?” “Miss Brooks has scars, more than one. She talks in her sleep and sometimes cries. And after a conflict, her first reaction is always to apologize, even if it's not her fault.” Perry was both meticulous and suspicious. “And she seems overly careful.”
