Chapter 11 - Project Black-SeaThe first files appeared.
Richard's face turned white.
The ballroom watched his secrets unfold.
One guest recognized his own company name.
Another saw a payment made to an offshore account.
A third realized his signature appeared on a document.
The room erupted.
Richard shouted that the files were fabricated.

Dates.
Locations.
Digital signatures.
Transaction numbers.
Everything connected.
Michael Hayes stood near the back of the ballroom.
He watched silently.
He knew the truth had crossed the point of no return.
Richard tried to reach the screen.
Evelyn stopped him.
"You wanted to destroy me."
Richard stared at her.
"You have no idea what you've started."
She answered:
"Yes, I do."
