Chapter 20 - A Mysterious Final Text Message Appears on Mark’s Phone

Late one quiet evening, after Lily fell fast asleep in her bedroom upstairs, Mark sat at his home office desk.
He finished reviewing some final architectural blueprints on his secure laptop screen.
Suddenly, his smartphone buzzed loudly against the wooden desktop, displaying a notification from an unknown sender.
Mark picked up the phone, tapping the screen to open the encrypted message text:
“Nora is locked away, but she wasn't the only one involved in the firm’s offshore accounts.”

Mark stared at the glowing screen in sudden chilling silence as the office lights flickered off one by one.
