Police reached the Sterling house before we did.<\/p>\n
By the time Carter and I arrived, Eleanor and Madison were standing near the front drive wrapped in coats over the clothes they'd worn indoors. An officer spoke with Richard on the front steps.<\/p>\n
Nobody had been physically hurt.<\/p>\n
That was the only good news.<\/p>\n
Richard had taken Madison's phone and thrown it against the study wall.<\/p>\n
The recording was safe in cloud storage.<\/p>\n
His gesture had accomplished nothing except frightening his daughter and creating two police witnesses to the aftermath.<\/p>\n
When he saw me, his face hardened.<\/p>\n
"You."<\/p>\n
The officer looked between us.<\/p>\n
"Sir, stay where you are."<\/p>\n
Richard stopped.<\/p>\n
For the first time, someone else's authority controlled his front steps.<\/p>\n
I couldn't pretend I disliked the sight.<\/p>\n
Carter went directly to Eleanor.<\/p>\n
"You okay?"<\/p>\n
She nodded.<\/p>\n
Madison held up the remains of her phone.<\/p>\n
"He owes me twelve hundred dollars."<\/p>\n
Carter laughed despite himself.<\/p>\n
Eleanor almost did too.<\/p>\n
Richard heard.<\/p>\n
His expression darkened.<\/p>\n
Families built around fear become strange when fear stops working.<\/p>\n
Their first act of rebellion is sometimes laughter.<\/p>\n
I looked through the open front door.<\/p>\n
"Where are the ledger and notebook?"<\/p>\n
Richard's gaze sharpened.<\/p>\n
"What ledger?"<\/p>\n
"The one you photographed."<\/p>\n
"I don't know what you're talking about."<\/p>\n
I showed the message to the officer.<\/p>\n
Richard's own number.<\/p>\n
His photograph.<\/p>\n
His text.<\/p>\n
You wanted control. Come take it.<\/p>\n
Richard looked away.<\/p>\n
The officer asked, "Are those documents disputed property?"<\/p>\n
Maya, who had arrived behind us, answered carefully.<\/p>\n
"They may be relevant to active civil litigation."<\/p>\n
Richard snapped, "This is my house."<\/p>\n
Maya looked at him.<\/p>\n
"That sentence has caused you a remarkable amount of trouble this week."<\/p>\n
I almost smiled.<\/p>\n
The police were not there to adjudicate corporate records, but they documented the scene. Richard agreed not to destroy or remove materials after Maya warned that existing litigation-preservation duties applied.<\/p>\n
The red notebook sat on his desk.<\/p>\n
The original ledger lay beside it.<\/p>\n
Martin Keene was nowhere in the house.<\/p>\n
"How did you get these?" I asked.<\/p>\n
Richard folded his arms.<\/p>\n
"Martin brought them."<\/p>\n
"When?"<\/p>\n
"Tonight."<\/p>\n
"Where is he?"<\/p>\n
"I don't know."<\/p>\n
"Why did he give them to you?"<\/p>\n
"Because he realized he'd made a mistake."<\/p>\n
Carter stepped forward.<\/p>\n
"Working with Pierce?"<\/p>\n
Richard's eyes changed.<\/p>\n
He hadn't expected Carter to know.<\/p>\n
"What?"<\/p>\n
"Jonathan Pierce. North Coast. Martin's wife."<\/p>\n
Richard's face went still.<\/p>\n
I watched understanding arrive.<\/p>\n
Not all at once.<\/p>\n
Slowly.<\/p>\n
Painfully.<\/p>\n
"What are you talking about?"<\/p>\n
Carter almost looked sorry for him.<\/p>\n
"North Coast is tied to Margaret Keene."<\/p>\n
"No."<\/p>\n
"We have the compliance certification."<\/p>\n
"That's impossible."<\/p>\n
"Martin signed it."<\/p>\n
Richard turned toward the study.<\/p>\n
The confidence drained from his posture.<\/p>\n
"Where's Martin?"<\/p>\n
"We were hoping you'd tell us."<\/p>\n
Richard reached for his phone.<\/p>\n
Called.<\/p>\n
No answer.<\/p>\n
Again.<\/p>\n
Nothing.<\/p>\n
For the first time, I saw Richard Sterling experience what he'd inflicted on everyone else.<\/p>\n
Uncertainty.<\/p>\n
Someone close to him had hidden information.<\/p>\n
Someone he'd trusted had controlled what he knew.<\/p>\n
He hated it.<\/p>\n
"Pierce has been receiving payments from North Coast," I said.<\/p>\n
Richard looked at me.<\/p>\n
"How much?"<\/p>\n
"Eight hundred thousand."<\/p>\n
"You're lying."<\/p>\n
"Elias has the records."<\/p>\n
At Elias's name, anger returned.<\/p>\n
"Elias is a criminal."<\/p>\n
"Maybe."<\/p>\n
That answer stopped him.<\/p>\n
"He admitted taking money from you in 1999."<\/p>\n
Richard's eyes narrowed.<\/p>\n
"He admitted preparing the settlement draft."<\/p>\n
No response.<\/p>\n
"He also brought the bank records."<\/p>\n
Richard looked toward the officer.<\/p>\n
He was suddenly conscious of witnesses.<\/p>\n
Smart.<\/p>\n
He lowered his voice.<\/p>\n
"This conversation is over."<\/p>\n
"Fine."<\/p>\n
I looked at the ledger.<\/p>\n
"We'll see you at the board meeting."<\/p>\n
Richard smiled coldly.<\/p>\n
"You won't be there."<\/p>\n
"Carter is still a shareholder."<\/p>\n
"Minor."<\/p>\n
"He's also a director."<\/p>\n
"Not after eight tomorrow morning."<\/p>\n
Carter stared at him.<\/p>\n
"You scheduled the meeting to remove me."<\/p>\n
"I scheduled it to protect Sterling."<\/p>\n
"From me?"<\/p>\n
"From her."<\/p>\n
Richard pointed at me.<\/p>\n
The officer's gaze followed his hand.<\/p>\n
Richard lowered it.<\/p>\n
I said, "See you tomorrow."<\/p>\n
We left with Eleanor and Madison.<\/p>\n
The ledger and red notebook remained in Richard's study, but Maya immediately sent a preservation demand identifying both.<\/p>\n
If either disappeared now, Richard would have to explain why.<\/p>\n
At Rebecca's house, we slept very little.<\/p>\n
At six thirty, Maya called.<\/p>\n
A judge had granted expedited preservation relief covering the ledger, notebook, and electronic records associated with the Monday sale.<\/p>\n
Richard could not legally destroy them.<\/p>\n
At seven, Carter received the board packet through a sympathetic director.<\/p>\n
There were seven voting directors.<\/p>\n
Richard.<\/p>\n
Carter.<\/p>\n
Two long-time Sterling executives.<\/p>\n
Three outside directors.<\/p>\n
Richard intended to introduce three resolutions.<\/p>\n
Remove Carter from the board.<\/p>\n
Approve emergency financing.<\/p>\n
Ratify the North Coast sale.<\/p>\n
"Can he do that while the sale is restrained?" I asked.<\/p>\n
Maya shook her head.<\/p>\n
"Not consummate it. Ratification may be an attempt to strengthen their court argument."<\/p>\n
"What emergency financing?"<\/p>\n
Carter read.<\/p>\n
Then swore.<\/p>\n
"Lender: North Coast."<\/p>\n
Of course.<\/p>\n
"Terms?"<\/p>\n
"Twenty million bridge facility."<\/p>\n
"Secured by what?"<\/p>\n
He looked at me.<\/p>\n
"Almost everything not already pledged to Blackwell."<\/p>\n
Samuel whistled.<\/p>\n
"They're trying to leapfrog the debt."<\/p>\n
Maya shook her head.<\/p>\n
"Blackwell's existing liens can't simply be leapfrogged, but they can create a mess."<\/p>\n
Daniel pointed at the packet.<\/p>\n
"Pierce's plan."<\/p>\n
Carter nodded.<\/p>\n
"North Coast buys assets cheap or lends against the rest."<\/p>\n
"And Martin profits either way," I said.<\/p>\n
Rebecca looked at the clock.<\/p>\n
"Then why did Martin return the notebook and ledger to Richard?"<\/p>\n
Nobody had an answer.<\/p>\n
At 7:18, Carter's phone rang.<\/p>\n
Martin.<\/p>\n
Everyone froze.<\/p>\n
Carter answered on speaker.<\/p>\n
"Where are you?"<\/p>\n
Martin's voice sounded exhausted.<\/p>\n
"Don't hang up."<\/p>\n
"Give me a reason."<\/p>\n
"Your father is going to sign the North Coast financing."<\/p>\n
"We know."<\/p>\n
"Stop him."<\/p>\n
Carter laughed.<\/p>\n
"You created it."<\/p>\n
"No."<\/p>\n
"We have Margaret's ownership certification."<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
"Martin?"<\/p>\n
"My wife doesn't control North Coast."<\/p>\n
"Her name says otherwise."<\/p>\n
"She holds interests for Pierce."<\/p>\n
There it was.<\/p>\n
"Why?"<\/p>\n
"Because I was an idiot."<\/p>\n
"That's not enough."<\/p>\n
Martin breathed heavily.<\/p>\n
"Pierce approached me eighteen months ago. He knew Sterling was overleveraged. He said he could bring in private capital."<\/p>\n
"And you hid your wife's involvement."<\/p>\n
"Yes."<\/p>\n
"Why?"<\/p>\n
"Pierce paid us."<\/p>\n
"How much?"<\/p>\n
"Two million."<\/p>\n
Carter closed his eyes.<\/p>\n
"Jesus Christ."<\/p>\n
"I thought it was advisory compensation."<\/p>\n
"You are the CFO."<\/p>\n
"I know what it looks like."<\/p>\n
"It looks like bribery."<\/p>\n
Martin's voice cracked.<\/p>\n
"I know."<\/p>\n
I leaned toward the phone.<\/p>\n
"Why return the red notebook?"<\/p>\n
Martin went silent.<\/p>\n
"Martin."<\/p>\n
"Because Pierce wanted it destroyed."<\/p>\n
"And you didn't?"<\/p>\n
"No."<\/p>\n
"Why?"<\/p>\n
"Because I finally understood what he was doing."<\/p>\n
"What?"<\/p>\n
"He doesn't want Richard saved."<\/p>\n
Daniel leaned closer.<\/p>\n
"We know."<\/p>\n
Martin continued.<\/p>\n
"Pierce wants Sterling in default, but not immediately. He needs the court to allow the North Coast transaction first."<\/p>\n
"Then why oppose acceleration?"<\/p>\n
"Because acceleration happened too soon."<\/p>\n
That explained the messages.<\/p>\n
Pierce needed me to wait.<\/p>\n
Not for Richard.<\/p>\n
For himself.<\/p>\n
"Did Pierce send the messages about Helena?"<\/p>\n
"I think so."<\/p>\n
"Does he know where she is?"<\/p>\n
"Yes."<\/p>\n
My blood chilled.<\/p>\n
"Where?"<\/p>\n
"I don't know. He refused to tell me."<\/p>\n
"Did he threaten her?"<\/p>\n
"I don't know."<\/p>\n
"What about the photograph?"<\/p>\n
"I saw it on his phone."<\/p>\n
So Pierce had access.<\/p>\n
Carter said, "Will you testify today?"<\/p>\n
Martin laughed bitterly.<\/p>\n
"If I walk into that boardroom, Richard will kill me."<\/p>\n
"No, he won't."<\/p>\n
"You don't know your father."<\/p>\n
Carter looked at me.<\/p>\n
"I know him better this week."<\/p>\n
Martin was silent.<\/p>\n
Carter continued.<\/p>\n
"You helped him hide debt. You helped Pierce. You signed a false affidavit."<\/p>\n
"I know."<\/p>\n
"Then decide what you're doing now."<\/p>\n
Martin breathed slowly.<\/p>\n
"What do you need?"<\/p>\n
"Come to the meeting."<\/p>\n
"Impossible."<\/p>\n
"Why?"<\/p>\n
"Pierce is watching the building."<\/p>\n
Daniel said, "Where are you?"<\/p>\n
Martin heard him.<\/p>\n
"Who is that?"<\/p>\n
"Daniel Blackwell."<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
"You're alive."<\/p>\n
"Apparently."<\/p>\n
Martin gave a strained laugh.<\/p>\n
"I'm at a motel near White Plains."<\/p>\n
Maya took over.<\/p>\n
"Mr. Keene, this is attorney Maya Chen. Do not destroy anything. Do not contact Pierce. I strongly recommend you retain independent criminal counsel immediately."<\/p>\n
"Am I under investigation?"<\/p>\n
"Assume everything you say can have consequences."<\/p>\n
Martin swallowed audibly.<\/p>\n
"Understood."<\/p>\n
"Will you provide documents voluntarily through counsel?"<\/p>\n
"Yes."<\/p>\n
Carter interrupted.<\/p>\n
"Board meeting."<\/p>\n
Martin hesitated.<\/p>\n
Then: "I'll come."<\/p>\n
At 7:56, we entered Sterling headquarters.<\/p>\n
I had been there twice before.<\/p>\n
Once for a charity reception.<\/p>\n
Once when Carter proudly showed me the office he thought he would someday run.<\/p>\n
This morning, security guards stood beside the elevators.<\/p>\n
Richard had instructed them not to admit me.<\/p>\n
Carter looked at the guard.<\/p>\n
"She's with me."<\/p>\n
"Mr. Sterling, your access has been revoked."<\/p>\n
Carter almost smiled.<\/p>\n
"I'm still a director until the board votes."<\/p>\n
The guard hesitated.<\/p>\n
Maya produced documents.<\/p>\n
Ten minutes later, we were upstairs.<\/p>\n
I wasn't entitled to attend the full board session.<\/p>\n
Maya had a better solution.<\/p>\n
Blackwell Capital had delivered a lender representative notice.<\/p>\n
Samuel would attend as creditor representative.<\/p>\n
I was the beneficial owner and authorized representative.<\/p>\n
Richard's lawyers objected.<\/p>\n
The outside directors allowed us into the portion addressing financing and the disputed sale.<\/p>\n
Richard entered at 8:14.<\/p>\n
He saw me.<\/p>\n
Then Samuel.<\/p>\n
Then Daniel.<\/p>\n
My father had chosen to come.<\/p>\n
Richard stopped walking.<\/p>\n
For perhaps five seconds, the entire boardroom watched twenty-two years pass between them.<\/p>\n
Daniel spoke first.<\/p>\n
"Hello, Richard."<\/p>\n
Richard's face became stone.<\/p>\n
"You shouldn't be here."<\/p>\n
"I've heard that before."<\/p>\n
Richard sat at the head of the table.<\/p>\n
"Let's begin."<\/p>\n
The first resolution was Carter's removal.<\/p>\n
Richard described his son as compromised by conflicts created through marriage.<\/p>\n
Carter listened without interruption.<\/p>\n
Then an outside director asked, "Did you strike Mrs. Sterling?"<\/p>\n
Richard's face changed.<\/p>\n
"That's irrelevant."<\/p>\n
The director looked at him.<\/p>\n
"Given your allegation that Carter's judgment is compromised by his wife, your conduct toward that wife seems relevant."<\/p>\n
Madison's recording had reached the board.<\/p>\n
Richard realized it.<\/p>\n
His eyes found me.<\/p>\n
I said nothing.<\/p>\n
The vote failed.<\/p>\n
Three to four.<\/p>\n
Carter remained.<\/p>\n
Richard moved immediately to the North Coast financing.<\/p>\n
Samuel distributed Blackwell's objections.<\/p>\n
Maya supplied the beneficial-ownership records.<\/p>\n
The room changed.<\/p>\n
One director looked at Richard.<\/p>\n
"Margaret Keene?"<\/p>\n
Richard shook his head.<\/p>\n
"I was unaware."<\/p>\n
"Your CFO's wife is connected to the lender and purchaser?"<\/p>\n
"I said I was unaware."<\/p>\n
"Where is Martin?"<\/p>\n
The boardroom door opened.<\/p>\n
Martin Keene walked in beside a lawyer.<\/p>\n
Richard stood.<\/p>\n
"You."<\/p>\n
Martin looked terrified.<\/p>\n
But he kept walking.<\/p>\n
His attorney said, "Mr. Keene has requested an opportunity to correct prior statements."<\/p>\n
Richard's face became dangerous.<\/p>\n
"You don't work here anymore."<\/p>\n
Martin almost smiled.<\/p>\n
"I assumed."<\/p>\n
He placed a folder on the table.<\/p>\n
"My affidavit regarding North Coast was false."<\/p>\n
Nobody moved.<\/p>\n
Richard stared at him.<\/p>\n
Martin continued.<\/p>\n
"North Coast is controlled through entities associated with Jonathan Pierce. My wife held an interest as nominee. I concealed that relationship."<\/p>\n
One director whispered a curse.<\/p>\n
Richard looked stunned.<\/p>\n
"You told me North Coast was independent."<\/p>\n
"I lied."<\/p>\n
"Why?"<\/p>\n
"Pierce paid me."<\/p>\n
Richard's hand flattened against the table.<\/p>\n
"You sold me out."<\/p>\n
Martin looked at him.<\/p>\n
"Yes."<\/p>\n
The simplicity of the answer seemed to hurt Richard more than denial.<\/p>\n
"But Pierce sold you out too."<\/p>\n
Richard's face changed.<\/p>\n
Martin opened the folder.<\/p>\n
"He planned to force Sterling into a liquidity crisis, acquire distressed assets through North Coast, and leave Blackwell Capital fighting over what remained."<\/p>\n
Samuel read quickly.<\/p>\n
Emails.<\/p>\n
Payment records.<\/p>\n
Draft term sheets.<\/p>\n
Pierce's instructions.<\/p>\n
Enough.<\/p>\n
The outside directors called an immediate recess.<\/p>\n
Richard remained seated.<\/p>\n
Nobody spoke to him.<\/p>\n
For the first time, the head of Sterling sat alone at his own table.<\/p>\n
Twenty minutes later, the directors returned.<\/p>\n
The North Coast financing was rejected unanimously.<\/p>\n
The sale ratification was withdrawn.<\/p>\n
Then one outside director introduced a new resolution.<\/p>\n
Temporary removal of Richard Sterling as chief executive pending an independent investigation into related-party transactions, disputed ownership, and financial disclosures.<\/p>\n
Richard stood.<\/p>\n
"You can't."<\/p>\n
The director looked at him.<\/p>\n
"We can."<\/p>\n
"This is my company."<\/p>\n
Daniel spoke from the far end.<\/p>\n
"No."<\/p>\n
Richard turned.<\/p>\n
My father placed a copy of the original capitalization schedule on the table.<\/p>\n
"That has always been the problem."<\/p>\n
The vote passed.<\/p>\n
Five to two.<\/p>\n
Richard voted against.<\/p>\n
One executive loyal to him joined him.<\/p>\n
Carter voted to remove his father.<\/p>\n
His hand shook when he raised it.<\/p>\n
But he raised it.<\/p>\n
Richard stared at his son.<\/p>\n
"You'll regret this."<\/p>\n
Carter's voice was quiet.<\/p>\n
"I regret waiting."<\/p>\n
Richard looked around the table.<\/p>\n
At Daniel.<\/p>\n
At Samuel.<\/p>\n
At Martin.<\/p>\n
Finally at me.<\/p>\n
I expected rage.<\/p>\n
Instead he looked tired.<\/p>\n
Almost small.<\/p>\n
"Congratulations," he said. "You got what you wanted."<\/p>\n
I shook my head.<\/p>\n
"No."<\/p>\n
"What else could you possibly want?"<\/p>\n
"The truth."<\/p>\n
He laughed bitterly.<\/p>\n
"You think this room can give you that?"<\/p>\n
"No."<\/p>\n
I looked at Daniel.<\/p>\n
Then Elias, who had arrived to provide his own records to investigators.<\/p>\n
"That's why everyone is finally going to stop hiding pieces."<\/p>\n
Richard picked up his papers.<\/p>\n
Before he could leave, Maya spoke.<\/p>\n
"Mr. Sterling."<\/p>\n
He stopped.<\/p>\n
"The thirty-million-dollar acceleration remains effective."<\/p>\n
His face tightened.<\/p>\n
"Of course."<\/p>\n
"Blackwell Capital is willing to discuss a standstill."<\/p>\n
Richard turned slowly.<\/p>\n
Samuel looked at me.<\/p>\n
This was my decision.<\/p>\n
I had spent all night thinking about it.<\/p>\n
"Sterling keeps operating," I said. "Payroll continues. No asset stripping. Independent financial oversight. Full preservation and disclosure of records. The company gets breathing room while ownership is litigated."<\/p>\n
Richard stared.<\/p>\n
"And what do you get?"<\/p>\n
"Time."<\/p>\n
"For what?"<\/p>\n
"To prove what you did."<\/p>\n
His mouth curved faintly.<\/p>\n
"You still think this ends with you owning Sterling."<\/p>\n
"No."<\/p>\n
That surprised him.<\/p>\n
"I think it ends with the truth deciding who owns it."<\/p>\n
Daniel looked at me.<\/p>\n
So did Carter.<\/p>\n
Richard said nothing.<\/p>\n
Then my phone vibrated.<\/p>\n
Helena.<\/p>\n
I answered.<\/p>\n
"Hello?"<\/p>\n
Her voice was shaking.<\/p>\n
"Audrey, I can't meet you at the caf\u00e9."<\/p>\n
My stomach tightened.<\/p>\n
"Why?"<\/p>\n
"Pierce found me."<\/p>\n
Everyone near me went still.<\/p>\n
"Are you safe?"<\/p>\n
"For the moment."<\/p>\n
"Where are you?"<\/p>\n
She whispered an address.<\/p>\n
Maya wrote it down.<\/p>\n
Then Helena said, "There's something else."<\/p>\n
"What?"<\/p>\n
"Pierce has been searching for a document Richard thinks Daniel destroyed."<\/p>\n
Daniel stepped closer.<\/p>\n
"What document?"<\/p>\n
Helena heard him.<\/p>\n
"The original partnership escrow agreement."<\/p>\n
My father went pale.<\/p>\n
"I thought it was gone."<\/p>\n
"It isn't."<\/p>\n
"Where is it?"<\/p>\n
"I have it."<\/p>\n
Richard had reached the boardroom door.<\/p>\n
He stopped.<\/p>\n
His entire body went rigid.<\/p>\n
Helena continued through the speaker.<\/p>\n
"The agreement says what happens if either partner obtains the other's shares through fraud."<\/p>\n
Samuel stared at Daniel.<\/p>\n
"What happens?"<\/p>\n
Helena answered.<\/p>\n
"The fraudulent partner forfeits his own interest."<\/p>\n
Nobody moved.<\/p>\n
Richard slowly turned around.<\/p>\n
For the first time since the board voted him out, real terror appeared on his face.<\/p>\n
Because if Helena's document was authentic, this was no longer merely a fight over the sixty percent Richard had taken from Daniel.<\/p>\n
The clause could put Richard's own forty percent at risk.<\/p>\n
And after twenty-two years of calling Sterling his company, he might legally leave it owning nothing.<\/p>\n
Police reached the Sterling house before we did. By the time Carter and I arrived, Eleanor and Madison were standing near the front drive wrapped in coats over the clothes … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9082,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-insightdrama"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9098"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9098\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9118,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9098\/revisions\/9118"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
