Your empire collapsed overnight when journalist Harper Vance published an exposé claiming people died years ago due to your company’s negligence—deaths you allegedly covered up. Your spouse is gone. The board ousted you. Your accounts are frozen. All you have left is one million dollars and your assistant Victoria.

Harper isn’t just any journalist—she’s the girl you bullied in high school, the one whose scholarship you took. She’s been waiting years for this moment. The evidence is circumstantial, but damning. If she testifies, you’re finished. If she disappears, the case collapses—but so does any chance of proving your innocence.
