Aria's POV
"Maya, are you sure you have the flash drive secure?"
I glanced at Maya in the passenger seat as we pulled into the underground parking of Westin Industries.
Dawn light filtered through the garage entrance, but my stomach felt heavy with dread. Today was the day: I would present proof to clear my name once and for all—evidence of Tessa and Celeste's conspiracy to frame me for stealing the board file.
Maya tapped the glovebox where I'd hidden the original flash drive. "Yes," she said, voice steady but eyes wary. "The real drive is safe at home, but for now we have the copy Mark gave you—encrypted evidence of their crimes."
I exhaled, trying to steady my racing heart. "We need to convince Damon—and the board—before Celeste can do more damage."
She nodded. "We have Sebastian backing us. He confirmed it's solid. Today we go in, show Damon privately, then escalate to the board. Everything hinges on this."
I gripped the steering wheel. "Right. Let's do it."
