After Veronica left, Lily didn't waste any time. She took out her phone and opened a discreet application, typing a short message to an anonymous number: The work is done. She won't be able to come out alive.
Now, as promised, you should give my daughter a position at the head office.
She hit send, watched the screen for a second, then deleted the message and exited the app without a trace. Confident that she had covered her tracks, Lily relaxed slightly.
Unbeknownst to her, she wasn't as invisible as she believed. She didn't know that her every move, every secret whisper through her phone, was being watched.
Days ago, Aurora had carefully planted a silent virus into Lily's phone.
No one had noticed. Not even a trace remained on the surface. Sitting quietly in the car, Aurora lazily twirled her phone between her fingers, her eyes half-lidded as she watched the message from Lily flash across the screen.
