The mysterious man from Pier 7 contacted Amaya again. "He's planning something bigger. If you want to stop him, meet me tonight."
Against her better judgment, she went. This time, he revealed his name: Marcus Blackwell—a rival of Adrian, and the man who had been destroyed by Adrian's ruthless rise to power.
"Help me bring him down," Marcus said. "You'll get your revenge. I'll get my empire back. Together, we can ruin him."
Amaya's heart pounded. This was everything she wanted… but Marcus's smile was cold, almost cruel. Was she about to trade one monster for another?
Still, she took the file he handed her. Inside was proof that Adrian was preparing to crush another corporation—this time, one connected to people Amaya cared about.
She walked away with the evidence, her heart heavy.
