Chapter 21 Hope

• I had no idea what my mother told Lilith Hellman, but it worked very well, better than I liked. Two weeks had passed and Lilith had not so much as breathed my name. Her blog had disappeared and she was silent. One would think she had been wiped off the face of the earth. In fact, for a moment there, I thought my mother had killed her so asked Jared to investigate. Lilith was alive and well, enjoying the little time she had left before returning to work.
• I never expected to ever say this but I actually missed her. I missed her articles about me, somehow, they made me feel important. Now I was back to the background, just like any other billionaire who wasn’t making any moves. Heron Mask, a tech billionaire was the one appearing on the headlines every now and then after he bought some popular app. I had faded into oblivion, just like Lilith Hellman.
• My curiosity was growing each passing day. I knew my mother had perfected her people breaking skills but didn’t think Lilith would go down that fast. Heather’s words about sending a woman to catch a woman rang in my ears. Women were indeed something else. My mother didn’t need to study Lilith for days to figure out her weakness.
