The 48-Hour Countdown

The recording was a digital execution order. Julian’s voice turned icy as he revealed that his "accident" was a calculated hit that failed to kill his foresight. Mark and Beatrice were currently hours away from signing an Acquisition Agreement to sell the Vane Empire to a rival firm for $2 Billion—a deal designed to liquidate the assets before the authorities noticed the missing millions.
This merger would trigger a massive Equity Dilution, wiping out the pensions of fifty thousand employees. But Julian’s "Kill Switch" was active. If I didn't trigger the Clawback Provision at the corporate headquarters within 48 hours, the entire $2B fortune would be automatically converted into untraceable, encrypted digital currency and scattered to global charities.
A shadow flickered across my window. A heavy, black SUV sat idling at the curb, its headlights extinguished. I wasn't being paranoid—I was being hunted. Mark’s "Security Team" wasn't there to deliver papers; they were there to recover the box and ensure the "waitress" was silenced before the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange.
I grabbed my father’s old leather jacket and the music box, slipping out the fire escape just as my front door splintered under a tactical boot. The sound of my life being dismantled echoed in the alleyway. I needed the one person the Vanes couldn't buy—the Estate Attorney who had vanished the same night Julian "died."
As I tore through the rain-slicked streets of Lower Manhattan, the SUVs roared to life behind me. Their high beams cut through the downpour like twin daggers. My father always told me that a cornered fox is the most dangerous thing in the woods. I had 47 hours to prove him right.
"As the black SUV slammed into my bumper, I realized the Vanes weren't just protecting their money—they were covering up a murder."
