Ares's POV
The hidden folder on the main screen glowed like a warning sign. Jasmine stared at it, her hands trembling slightly. I felt my pulse slam against my ribs.
What else had Zara planned?
What else had she already set in motion?
I placed a hand on Jasmine's shoulder. "Do not panic. We will figure this out."
She swallowed and nodded, but her eyes stayed glued to the screen.
The file name pulsed once: PROJECT ORION – FULL DOSSIER
A name I had never seen before. And that alone terrified me.
"Open it." Jasmine whispered.
I hesitated. "Once we open it, there is no going back. Whatever is inside… we will not be able to unsee."
"I need to know." she said quietly.
And I could not deny her that.
I clicked.
The screen expanded.
And everything inside froze my blood.
The first page showed two logos… KnightCorp and Duvall Industries… side by side.
A timeline. A breakdown. And a heading that made my stomach drop:
PROJECTED MERGER FAILURE PLAN – INITIATED BY ZARA
