The Wexler family estate stood like a modern palace in Arlington, its steel-and-glass architecture casting harsh reflections in the morning sun.
Inside that cold perfection lived a forgotten genius.

Arthur stood at the estate gates and smiled slightly.
They saw her as a burden.
He saw her as a vault with no key — until now.
The Library
Bianca sat in the Wexler's third-floor private library, dressed in a beige sweater, plaid slacks, barefoot. Her hair was tied in a loose bun, her laptop covered in code and numbers.
She didn't even look up when Arthur entered.
"Do you know how much it costs to rig the Venezuelan bond market?" she asked quietly.
Arthur chuckled. "Depends. Are you flooding or draining it?"
Bianca looked up, finally, and raised an eyebrow.
"Both," she said. "Simultaneously."
Arthur stepped forward.
"Why are you still here?"
She sighed. "Because when you're born into a throne, they think removing your chair is the same as breaking your back."
"I'm offering a stronger throne," Arthur said.
Bianca stared at him, studying the calm in his posture, the precision of his tone.
"And what do I control?"
"Every coin," he said. "Every currency. Every digital ledger. You'll write fiscal policy before nations do."
Bianca smiled faintly.
"Prove it."
Proof of Worth
Arthur slid a file across the mahogany table — a report tracing 200 billion in shadow funds moved illegally by her own brothers across Central Asian proxies.
Her eyes widened for a fraction of a second.
"This is... This is real."
He nodded. "Your family thinks you're harmless. I think you're my economy's brain."
She stood, paced.
"You're telling me I can replace the global banking model?"
"You're telling me you won't?"
That stopped her cold.
The Deal
Later that evening, she met Arthur at an underground data center in D.C.
There, he showed her something the public never sees — the backend control of commodity chains, blacklisted accounts, even IMF interference.
Bianca stepped closer to the digital dashboard glowing before her.
"It's beautiful," she whispered.
Arthur touched her shoulder lightly.
"It's yours."

Later, as Arthur and Bianca stood watching currency fluctuations in real-time on 15 holographic screens, she said quietly:
"They never let me speak in boardrooms."
"You'll speak through banks now," he replied.
Bianca smiled again — this time without bitterness.
"They'll fear me."
"They already do."
