The figure turned to face me.

The light caught their eyes.

“Welcome to the real estate, Alana,” they said.

“Now, let’s change the world.”

I stared, my mind racing as the monitors flickered.

The game was far larger than I had ever dreamed.

The offshore accounts were just the beginning.

The true inheritance was here.

And the power was now in my hands.

I looked at the key, then at the screen.

The first step of the plan was complete.

The next step was up to me.

I took a deep breath and stepped toward the console.

Ready to finish what Abigail had started.

Ready to destroy the Darcy name once and for all.

The monitors blinked in unison, a silent countdown beginning.

The screen in the center lit up with a single prompt.

“Enter authorization code.”

I reached out my hand.

And the phone in my pocket vibrated once more.

A new code appeared on the screen.

Sent from the unknown number.

I typed the numbers in, my fingers steady.

The console beeped.

The system was active.

“Let’s begin,” I said.
