Ryan watched Janus storm out and let out a long, heavy breath. He leaned back, wondering why the hell Lilian always picked him to do her dirty work. He’d just made a permanent enemy out of one of the most dangerous men in the city.

Up in the penthouse office, Karina flicked off the monitor. “Well, that’s that. We’ve officially declared war on Janus. I highly doubt he’s going to take that lying down.”

Lilian twirled her pen, her expression unbothered. “He was never going to stop as long as we held that land. Why waste time playing nice? Better to lay all the cards on the table now. It saves us the headache of pretend civility and lets him know exactly where we stand. We aren’t an easy target.”

Karina looked at her friend’s calm face and sighed. “One crisis after another. I can already see it. We’re in for a long, drawn–out battle with the Sorens over this dirt.”

Lilian smiled. “Let them try. They might have the patience for it, but I don’t.”

Before Karina could respond, Lilian’s phone began to buzz. She picked it up, and a smooth, measured voice came through. “Lilian. I hope I’m not interrupting.”

“Who is this?” Lilian asked.

‘Rowan. I trust the name rings a bell.”

Lilian’s eyes sharpened. “Rowan. To what do I owe the pleasure?”

I want to talk to you about the Light Estate plot,” Rowan said, cutting straight to the point.

Lilian let out a cold laugh. “You’ve got the wrong person. I don’t own that land.”

‘Let’s skip the games, Lilian,” Rowan replied, his voice flat. “I wouldn’t be calling you if I didn’t know you hold the final say. I know Exactly whose desk the paperwork lands on. Isn’t that right, Boss?”

Lilian froze for a split second before her voice turned mocking, “You’ve certainly done your homework. Fine. Now that you’ve outed me, what do you want?”

Like I said, a conversation about that land.”

“And if I’m not interested in talking?” Lilian snapped,

Rowan chuckled, a dry, unpleasant sound. “Then I can’t guarantee your secret stays safe. If word gets out that you’re the ghost running Skyreach, it’ll cause quite a stir in Kingston. And imagine the look on the Sinclairs‘ faces if they found out you were the one who orchestrated their bankruptcy. I think the media would find that story fascinating”

“Are you threatening me?” Lilian’s voice was like ice.

“I’d never dream of it,” Rowan said smoothly. “I just want a polite sit–down to discuss the property”

Lilian took a deep breath, her knuckles white as she gripped the phone “Fine Where and when?”

They settled on a location and hung up. Karina was already on her feet, looking at Lilian’s furious expression “What happened?”

“Rowan knows everything,” Lilian said, her voice trembling with rage. “He’s dug up who I am and he’s using it to blackmail me inta
