he said, "authorized under your signature three years ago, has been drawing funds at intervals that don't correspond to any expenditure I can locate in our records. Small amounts individually. Substantial, cumulatively, over that time frame." "Three years." My stomach tightened. "Show me the authorization." He produced it, and I studied my own signature at the bottom of a document I had absolutely no memory of ever signing, the forgery convincing enough that even I, staring directly at it, couldn't have sworn under oath it wasn't genuine. "Someone forged this." "That's my assessment as well," Harold said carefully. "Though I want to raise something else alongside it, Marcus, because I think

The resolution was sufficient for forensic comparison. The direction of force at the wound site: horizontal push. Compared to the vertical force pattern of an accidental fall, the angular deviation was sixty-seven degrees. The Attorney General filed charges with the Ashton District Court. The indictment: abuse of authority, forgery of a forensic report, harboring a homicide suspect, and illegal destruction of human remains. On the day the indictment was served, Vivian was already in custody.

I knew my own signature. I had signed thousands of documents over the years while building this organization, approving donations, authorizing expenses, approving child placements, handling legal paperwork, and reviewing countless reports. This signature was an imitation. A good one, but still fake. My stomach twisted violently. Someone had forged my approval. It seemed like that same person had moved children under my name. Slowly, I lowered the document onto the desk and rubbed my forehead. "What the hell is going on?" I whispered. The uneasy feeling that had followed me throughout the day suddenly became much heavier.

“Four months ago, I was leading a military operation against rogue wolves in the Northern Territory. An operation sanctioned by the Crown itself.” Torin frowned, his hand hesitating over his desk. His weathered fingers scanned the contents of the letters. Then, his brows pulled together tightly. I gestured broadly toward the papers on the table. “These are all forged.” Aurelius remained entirely silent for several seconds. His gaze shifted from my face down to the forged letters. Finally, his eyes moved past the council table, landing squarely on his royal advisor. Valerius. The advisor's expression hadn't changed. But for the first time since I had walked into this courtroom, I noticed that

“We don’t get to ignore that.” Adrian searched my face. “What are you going to say.” I inhaled slowly, feeling the weight of every camera, every feed, every interpretation waiting to pounce. “I’m going to remind them,” I said, “that authority without legitimacy is just force with better branding.” Seraphine stared. “That will not calm anyone.” “No,” I said. “But it will be true.” The man hesitated. “We can patch you through.” “Do it,” I said.

“Your Honor, in light of this testimony, the timing of the forged filing, the police-linked reporting contamination, and the direct benefit structure favoring Mr. Morel, we request immediate denial of interim authority and reservation for sanctions review.” Hector’s counsel was already on his feet. “Your Honor, one frightened municipal employee’s confusion should not collapse a petition grounded in corporate necessity….” “Grounded in forgery,” Julien said. “Alleged forgery.” “Conveniently structured forgery.” “Counsel…” the judge snapped, and both men stopped. I kept my eyes on Hector. He looked older suddenly. Not weaker. More dangerous for the age. He had not expected Bellerose to fold the

“Consider it a pre-condition for your reinstatement.” I stared at the black folder. A warning bell rang in the back of my mind. Slowly, I opened it. There were only three pages. I scanned the legalese, my eyes catching the key phrases. The language was dense, predatory, and surprisingly sophisticated. ...any act deemed by the Authority as contravening expressed directives, or any attempt to subvert Board oversight, shall immediately and irrevocably constitute an Act of Breach and Forfeiture... It wasn't a reinstatement offer. It was a leash.

All of this would also trigger an immediate flag for a household that had been purged six hours ago. The novel had addressed this in a side plot about a minor villain's attempt to flee the Empire using forged System credentials. The attempt had failed because the System's divine infrastructure made forgery functionally impossible without access to administrative-level authority that no individual possessed. The character had been caught at a checkpoint, arrested, and executed in a paragraph the author had written with the efficiency of someone who understood that this particular narrative thread deserved no additional time. Kael did not have forged credentials. He had something potentially m

For a long moment, no one in the boardroom breathed. The words hung in the air like poison: "Steele Company belongs to me." Alexander stared at Marcus, the colour completely drained from his face. The forged document lay on the table like a death sentence. "This is impossible," Alexander finally said. "My shares were never transferred." Marcus shrugged. "Maybe not by you. But"—he tapped the file—"your system shows a complete transfer signed under your authorization. “That's a forged signature,” Alexander snapped.
