Mia brought her glossed lips close to my ear. Her perfume smelled aggressively of vanilla and victory.
“Thank you for building an empire for my son,” she whispered, her voice a razor blade wrapped in velvet.
They left, the heavy doors clicking shut behind them. I looked down at the tiny girl on my chest. My hand, resting on her tiny back, was shaking with the force of an electric current. My chest felt packed with shattered glass.
I reached for my phone with a steady, bloodless hand. I scrolled to Khloe Bennett, my former college roommate and now a senior partner at the most ruthless family law firm in New York.
“Clare! Congratulations! Boy or girl?” Khloe answered.

The line went instantly quiet. “That absolute bastard. What are your orders?”
I stared at the Manhattan skyline outside the window, my mind activating the legal clauses of the impenetrable trust architecture I had built for the Vance Group.
“I am detonating the foundation,” I whispered. “But Khloe… we aren’t just taking his money. We are going to bury him alive.”
