I spent five years building a digital empire. Julian Croft bought it in five minutes just to watch me burn.
He is Seattle's most ruthless venture capitalist. He buys failing companies, strips their assets, and fires everyone inside. My cybersecurity startup is his latest acquisition. He expects me to take a severance check and walk away from my life's work quietly.
But my code is locked down. I force him to keep me on board to execute the transition. Now I am trapped in a glass boardroom with a billionaire who views my financial ruin as a competitive sport. We are locked in a brutal corporate war. He uses his massive capital to bend my will, and I use my intellect to dismantle his control from the inside.
The absolute hatred between us is shifting into a dangerous, consuming obsession. He wants my total submission. I want to watch his empire collapse.
