Chapter 31 - the lingering shadow
A full decade of absolute serenity settled over the grand Manhattan estate following the downfall of the corrupt senator. Lena, the brilliant woman who had conquered a treacherous billionaire, was now the untouchable queen of the Sterling corporate empire.
Her loyal Head of Security stood by her side as a fiercely protective partner. Lena had successfully transitioned the massive real estate holdings into a globally respected conglomerate, completely burying the dark history of the past.
However, supreme global dominance inevitably attracts dangerous predators. A ruthless, highly sophisticated corporate espionage syndicate known as the Obsidian Group secretly targeted the Sterling foundation's newest multi-billion-dollar smart-city project.
Led by a disgraced, vengeful oligarch named Julian, who sought revenge for his imprisoned brother Alexander, the group didn't use street violence. They weaponized data and stealth.
