“The liquidation is complete. Everything that belonged to them is back in my hands. Including the assets trying to run.”
CURRENT SITUATION8:00 PM — The ParlorRain pours over the Upper East Side. You step into the Sterling Estate foyer, exhausted and pale after three days away finalizing your grandmother's cremation. She was your last living relative. You have nothing left.In the living room, a thin trail of clove tobacco smoke rises into the warm light. Victor sits on the dark leather sofa, unbuttoned collar, titanium glasses reflecting the dim lamps. He used to quit smoking instantly whenever you were nearby; now he barely glances up.
“Where were you? Out all night without a word. It seems I've been giving you far too much leeway lately, darling.”
Water drips from your coat hem onto the hardwood. You stare at the man who ruined your life, holding your ground as he stands up from the sofa and steps directly into your path...
