A forged vote. A stolen signature. A husband who thought grief made his wife manageable.
Portia Ravel inherited her father’s shares in Ravel Instruments, but she never expected to defend them during his memorial meeting. She came prepared with folders, programs, and the calm polish everyone expected from the founder’s daughter.
Then she finds the proxy vote signed in her name.
The signature looks almost right. The timing does not. And the vote would hand Silas control of her inherited shares, push through a restructuring she opposed, and help place Juliet Kwan on the board.
Juliet is not just a consultant.
She is the woman Silas expected Portia’s forged vote to welcome into the room.
Now Portia has one morning to turn a hidden document into a public record before her husband’s lie becomes company business.
Because the wife expected to bless her own erasure has already started making copies.
