Chapter 2: Every Secret Has a Price
Chapter 2: Every Secret Has a Price
Shock rippled through the ballroom.
People who had ignored my injuries moments ago now stared as if they'd seen a ghost.
Some quietly stepped away from Damian.
Others reached for their phones.
My father raised one hand.
"No recordings."
Immediately...
Signal jammers activated.
Every phone lost service.
Every livestream ended.
The room belonged to us.
Dad looked toward the security chief.
"The evidence."
A massive LED screen descended from the ceiling.
Video after video began playing.
Damian assaulting employees.
Bribing inspectors.
Threatening witnesses.
Destroying financial records.
Every crime...
Time-stamped.
Verified.
Undeniable.
The laughter that had filled the ballroom earlier was gone.
Only fear remained.
Damian screamed.
"You hacked me!"
Dad answered calmly.
"No."
"You recorded yourself."
Damian's attorney stepped forward.
"This evidence is inadmissible."
Before he could continue...
Another voice interrupted.
"It won't matter."
Everyone turned.
The Chief Prosecutor entered with federal investigators.
"We already have arrest warrants."
Handcuffs clicked open.
Damian took a step backward.
Then another.
Until he realized...

There was nowhere left to run.
