I stared at the text thread, the words burning into my mind. The $5,000,000 penalty. Tremaine’s calculated cruelty. The rage simmered, a volcanic heat beneath my shattered grief.

“We have to go to the police,” I whispered, my voice hoarse. “This is murder.”

Brianna shook her head slowly. “Mom, look at this.” She tapped another file she’d recovered, labeled ‘Label Debt Projections.’

It was a spreadsheet, full of complex figures. Hidden within were details of Tremaine’s record label, ‘Dubois Dynasty,’ being secretly funded by a tangled web of shell corporations and unrecorded loans. The sum listed was staggering: $8,000,000.

“These aren’t bank loans, Mom,” Brianna explained, her brows furrowed. “These are… something else. It looks like he was using the streaming deal not just for income, but to cover some serious debt. And this name keeps coming up.” She pointed to a series of transactions marked ‘M. Vance-Overton.’

“Marcus Vance-Overton,” I recognized the name. “Grizz. He’s a… a major player on the street. Runs a syndicate.” My stomach dropped. Tremaine had been deep in with dangerous people.

“If we go to the police,” Brianna reasoned, her voice steady despite the gravity of her words, “Tremaine’s high-priced lawyers will tie this up for years. They’ll bury it in discovery, spin it as a misunderstanding, blame the hospital. And you’ll be painted as unstable.”

She was right. I was already the “holistic extremist” in the public eye. My word against Tremaine’s fame and endless resources? It was a losing battle.

“Grizz, though,” Brianna continued, her voice hardening, “he’s owed eight million dollars. This spreadsheet shows Tremaine was falsifying birth insurance records, trying to collect money on your failed stream *and* your child’s death to pay him back.”

A cold certainty settled over me. Formal justice would be a mockery. But Grizz Vance-Overton operated on a different kind of justice. He wouldn’t care about PR or lawyers. He only cared about his money.

That night, Brianna, armed with a flash drive containing the damning texts and the hidden financial records, slipped out of the guest house. She knew Tremaine’s security schedule, the blind spots in the cameras. She wasn’t going to the precinct. She was going straight to the man who truly held the power. She was going to Grizz.
