Chapter 6 - The Setup
Mia stared at the television screen completely paralyzed by the horrifying, entirely fabricated news report.
The corrupt media claimed she had suffered a severe psychotic break due to her difficult pregnancy.
Julian had brilliantly used his massive fortune to twist the narrative entirely before the board of directors could even react.
He completely convinced the authorities that the live broadcast was a deep-fake video generated by an insane woman.
The news showed highly disturbing footage of Doctor Evans lying completely motionless in the mountain cabin.
They had completely framed her for his murder to ensure she could never safely go to the police.
Mia pulled her heavy hood entirely over her head and completely hid her face from the terminal cameras.
She realized Julian had successfully isolated her from absolutely every single resource she had left in the world.
She boarded a cheap, completely untraceable bus heading directly back into the heart of the dangerous city.
She knew the only way to prove the video was completely real was to find the original surveillance hard drive.
Julian kept his most sensitive, highly illegal blackmail material locked inside a massive safe in his luxury penthouse.
Mia waited until midnight to completely sneak into the towering, highly secure residential building.
She entirely bypassed the main lobby by climbing the dark, incredibly narrow maintenance shaft.
Her pregnant belly severely restricted her movements, but pure, absolute adrenaline pushed her all the way to the top.
She successfully hacked the digital lock on the penthouse door using a backdoor code Julian had stupidly reused for years.
The massive, totally luxurious apartment was entirely empty and completely completely silent.
She rushed directly into his private study and moved the heavy oil painting hiding the wall safe.
She entered the birth date of Julian's late mother, and the heavy steel door clicked loudly open.
She completely ignored the massive stacks of cash and forcefully grabbed the heavy black hard drive.
As she pulled it out, a small, completely unmarked manila folder fell onto the hardwood floor.
Mia picked it up and quickly scanned the highly confidential medical documents inside.
It was a certified, highly accurate DNA paternity test that Julian had taken completely in secret.

The official results definitively proved that Julian had absolutely zero genetic relation to her unborn child.
But Mia had completely never, absolutely not even once, slept with another man in her entire life.
