Amelia’s POV
I sit at my desk at eight-thirty PM, surrounded by many documents.
The office is empty—everyone else went home hours ago. But I couldn’t leave. Not after Nathan’s warning. Not after seeing that photo of Daniel looking like he’s dying by inches.
I need to understand exactly what I’ve gotten myself into.
The Crane-Hartwell partnership agreement is dense legal language, but certain phrases jump out as I read.
Strategic coordination to exploit market vulnerabilities.
Leveraging insider operational knowledge.
Coordinated client acquisition targeting Sterling Holdings’ weakest service divisions.
Weakest service divisions. I flip to the appendix, and my blood runs cold.
Commercial real estate development. International logistics coordination. Executive consulting services.
