I agreed to meet Tiffany in a dimly lit, forgotten diner tucked away off Jerome Avenue\u2014the specific kind of establishment where the patrons stared at their coffee and nobody cared who you used to be.
\nShe walked through the dingy glass doors wearing oversized, dark sunglasses and a heavy trench coat, looking exactly like prey. But it was her hands that betrayed her true state. They were shaking uncontrollably\u2014clasping, unclasping, tearing at a paper napkin\u2014as if her nervous system couldn\u2019t decide whether to flee the city or finally confess her sins.
\n\u201cI didn\u2019t know,\u201d she blurted out before I had even settled into the cracked vinyl booth. \u201cI swear to God, Elena, not the way he actually planned it. Not the\u2026 the doctored photos.\u201d
\nI kept my voice terrifyingly calm, even though it felt as if my chest cavity was entirely filled with jagged, broken glass. \u201cThen I suggest you tell me exactly what you do know.\u201d
\nTiffany swallowed hard and slid her sleek smartphone across the sticky Formica table. The screen displayed a hidden, encrypted folder. It was packed with audio files, financial screenshots, and internal corporate memos.
\n\u201cHe had his private security team digitally manufacture those pictures,\u201d Tiffany whispered, glancing nervously toward the door. \u201cHe told me it was \u2018necessary corporate optics.\u2019 He needed you completely out of the picture, fast. Before the SEC initiated the IPO audits. Before anyone with a forensic accounting degree looked too closely at exactly how you funded the early software builds.\u201d
\nMy stomach aggressively tightened. My mother\u2019s life insurance policy. The massive, six-figure check I had handed David with a naive kiss and a sacred promise, deeply believing we were constructing a shared empire together.
\nTiffany\u2019s eyes filled with hot, terrified tears. \u201cHe told me I was unique. That I was special. He swore he\u2019d protect me from the fallout. But yesterday\u2026 I overheard him in a closed-door meeting with his CFO. They were discussing the necessity of a \u2018fall person\u2019 if the numbers didn\u2019t align.\u201d She took a ragged breath. \u201cThey meant me.\u201d
\nI stared at the extensive list of audio files, fighting a sudden wave of intense nausea. \u201cWhy are you bringing this arsenal to me?\u201d
