Cassandra’s Final Move

Cassandra wasn't done.

The media storm hadn't satisfied her. The scandal hadn't broken him. So she upped the stakes.

A lawsuit.

Alleging defamation. Breach of engagement. Emotional damage.

Adrian's lawyers called it a joke.

But the timing was surgical. Days before a critical investor vote. Hours before Eliana's interview on a women-in-business podcast. She was everywhere, injecting doubt, twisting truths.

"She's unhinged," Eliana said. "She doesn't care who she burns."

"She's trying to scare us," Adrian replied.

It was working. The board grew nervous. Journalists circled like sharks.

Then, Cassandra made a mistake.

She leaked an email—one she had doctored. Adrian's team caught it in minutes.

Within hours, the lie was exposed.

Her credibility? Gone.

By midnight, Cassandra had deleted all her socials.

By morning, she had vanished.

Eliana watched the headlines fade and whispered, "It's over."

But Adrian shook his head.

"No. This is where it begins."
