Nichs thrashed wildly, but Steven had no choice–he mped a hand over the man’s mouth.
“Dad! Steven’s really here to help you! Please, just go with him!”
Ken’s voice came through the phone, full of panic.
Nichs froze, then turned to nce at Steven.
Steven gave a small nod, then looked at the screen. “Ken, tell your dad–have we ever treated you badly?”
Ken shook his head quickly. “No. I’ve been staying with Tess. Everyone here’s been really kind to me.”
Still, Nichs didn’t look convinced. His eyes searched Ken’s face, trying to spot any trace of fear or a sign that he was being forced.
Then another voice cut in–a calm, cool woman’s voice.
“I need to speak with you,” Tess said, her face appearing on the screen.
Steven’s expression softened for a moment.
But Nichs stiffened like he’d just seen a ghost.
<i>Of </i><i>course</i><i>. </i>Now it <i>made </i><i>sense</i><i>. </i>
“You’re trying to get revenge!” he shouted.
Years ago, Nichs had agreed to help Henry out of pure greed. Later, when Henry came back offering a huge sum of money–and a chance to “end things” once and for all–Nichs got involved again.
But he’d regretted it ever since.
Henry had been worried Nichs might one day turn on him. So he’d kept Nichs and Rachel locked away in that factory, pretending they were ordinary workers. In truth, they were prisoners.
Now anger and shame twisted in Nichs’s chest–part of it at himself, part of it aimed at Tess, the woman on the screen.
“No,” Tess said, shaking her head slowly. Her tone was calm but sharp. “If I wanted revenge, your son would already be covered in bruises.”
As she spoke, she gently lifted Ken’s arm to show it through the camera. His skin was pale and smooth. His wrists, once thin and bony, looked fuller and healthier now.
Nichs frowned. His suspicion hadn’tpletely faded. “Then what do you want?”
Tess lowered her gaze.
She knew if she didn’t give him a solid reason, Nichs would never agree to follow Steven.

So she sat down, looking straight into the camera. “I want you to expose everything you know–everything you did for Henry.”
Nichs froze. His body trembled slightly. “So… that’s why you went through all this trouble to sneak someone into the factory? To get me out?”
“Yes.”
Tess didn’t even try to hide it.
This time, Nichs didn’t fight back. He just fell silent, weighing things in his head–Henry’s power against Tess’s threat.
Tess saw right through him.
“After Ember Group copsed, Henry lost his money and influence. Do you really n to stay locked up in that factory forever? Never seeing your own son again?”
Her voice dropped lower, carrying a quiet persuasion.
Then Ken’s shaky, tear–filled voice came through: “Dad, Mom, I miss you! Tess has been good to me. She’ll be good to you, too!”
Nichs clenched his jaw. His resolve wavered. He lowered his head, his messy hair shadowing his face.
Steven waited patiently, silent but steady–his presence alone carried weight.
“Ms. Ember,” Nichs finally said, his hands clenched tight, “if I testify against Henry … will you really let my family go?”
Tess’s face stayed calm on the screen–smooth, cold, unreadable.
“No.”
Her answer was simple and sharp, cutting through the quiet air.
Rachel’s legs nearly gave out. She had to lean against the wall just to stay standing.
Nichs, on the other hand, looked strangely calm now. His fingers dug into his palms until his skin
turned red.
He knew exactly how big that old case had been–how his testimony had helped ruin her life. He’d heard the rumorster, the online hate, the things Tess had suffered.
He wasn’t innocent. Not even close.
“Your family didn’t do anything,” Tess said softly. “So I won’t hurt them.”
The light in Nichs’s eyes flickered, just a little.
But on Tess’s side of the screen, Ken stood frozen. His eyes widened in shock.

His gaze darted back and forth between the two faces–his forehead damp with sweat.
