Chapter 2 - The Hidden PhoneKyle's voice grew louder as his confidence returned.
"You thought you could destroy me?"
Thalia said nothing.
Her fingers trembled slightly, but not from fear.
She was remembering every humiliation.
Every threat.
Every time Kyle had told her that she was nothing without him.
Every time he had used his wealth to silence someone who challenged him.
And now, for the first time, he was talking too much.
That was exactly what she needed.
Beneath the table, the phone continued recording.
A tiny red indicator blinked in the darkness.
Thalia lowered her eyes.
Then she whispered two words.
"Send everything."

The message disappeared.
Somewhere far beyond the estate, someone received it.
