A week later, Lysandra made her move. At a quiet press event, she stood in front of a smaller crowd.
No cameras, no fanfare. Just a few reporters, some staff, and a handful of curious onlookers.
“Veil Holdings has acquired Orion Air,” she said, her voice steady.
“Through an anonymous fund, Skyline Capital, we now own 51%.” The room buzzed, but she raised a hand, silencing them.
“This isn’t about winning. It’s about fixing what’s broken.” She announced new leadership.
People who had been overlooked, undervalued, some of them from the ground crew, others from the back offices—people who knew what it felt like to be invisible.
Gavin was gone, his office empty. By noon, Tanya and Elliot were suspended, their futures uncertain.
The news hit hard. “Woman Kicked Off Plane Now Owns Airline,” one headline read. “Another Veil Holdings Secret Takeover.”
Social media lit up, the video now paired with clips of Lysandra’s press conference. The comments were different now.
