Uncovering You: The Contract

Chapter Twenty-Three

(Present day)

Stonehart.

The bastard. It’s been him this whole time!

Who else would have the power, the influence, to organize all this? I curse myself for not thinking of him before. I’ve been starving because of him. I’ve been dying because of him.

My war has been all for naught. If I truly want to hurt Stonehart, holding out like this won’t help. He may not know it, but he gave me the most valuable piece of information the morning we met in his building.

He is taking his company public.

He has left his king vulnerable.

Let him think me broken. Let him think me weak. I will play his sick game. I will sign the damned contract.

Because I know, when the time comes, I will strike.

And I will destroy his empire.
