Ten days later, the business license arrived.

I held the document in my hands and felt power which I hadn't felt in three years.
This was only mine. A business entity that existed separate from from my family, separate from Asher Wang, it only belonged to me.
I took a photo with my burner phone and sent it to Maya.
It's official. Siren Gem is real.
Congratulations! Now protect it with everything you have.
I sent another message to Julian.
Manufacturing deal signed. LLC registered. Ready for your investor introductions.
Dinner tonight? We need to celebrate, and strategize.
I stared at the message. Dinner with Julian meant another step deeper into this dangerous alliance. But also another step closer to freedom.
Where and when?
The Jade Garden. 7 PM.
