Nobela ni Angel

KATHYI couldn't stop thinking about Daniel.Every time I remembered his words, my stomach twisted.The nerve of that man. How he found out everything was just suspicious.I could still hear his voice.'If you don't do what I want, I'll tell Viktor the truth'I had no idea what he wanted yet, and that scared me.But there was something else that scared me even more.Viktor was beginning to lose trust in me.I could see it in the way he looked at me.The questions.The silence.The way he watched me whenever I received a phone call.But none of that even mattered anymore. I would be leaving soon and my only prayer was for Viktor not to find out anything until I leave.And then there was Harris.He was moving against Viktor without telling me.He was sending me information, asking for things, and somehow knowing details I hadn't reported.It was becoming harder to tell what Harris wanted from me.But Harris was acting more suspicious than anyone else.I was beginning to not trust Harris

VIKTORThe last few days had been exhausting.Too much had happened.Anton was dead.The shipment had been compromised.Someone inside my organization had betrayed me.Katherine had been acting differently, but why wouldn't she, when I had blamed her for the leak.And then Daniel appeared at my mansion.And somehow, all of it felt connected and I didn't know what to believe.I sat behind my desk, staring at the reports in front of me.I had read them three times.Nothing made sense.The evidence against Katherine was growing.But so were the questions around it.She was hiding something.I knew that.I had known it for a while.But what exactly was she hiding?And why did I still find myself wanting to believe her?I hated that question.I hated it because I already knew the answer.I cared about her.More than I should.That was the problem.I pushed the reports aside and stood.I needed answers and the only way to get them was to ask her... only if she was willing to tell the truth.

KATHYJust when I thought things couldn't get worse.It was late afternoon when I left the mansion to meet Gabriella.Viktor had allowed me to go only because two guards were coming with me.I didn't complain.After everything that had happened, I wasn't going to argue about security.When I got back, I went straight to my room.I had barely closed the door when my phone buzzed.Unknown number.I frowned and opened the message.'We need to talk'I stared at it.Who was this?Another message came.'Now'I typed back.'Who is this?'The reply came almost immediately.'You know who''No I don't' I typed back.'Daniel'My stomach dropped.Daniel.I stared at the screen.Why was he contacting me?I hadn't spoken to him properly in weeks.I quickly typed.'What do you want?'His response came.'Meet me outside'I walked to the window and looked down.Nothing.I moved the curtain slightly.Then I saw him.Daniel was standing near the side gate.My heart started beating faster.What was he do

KATHYThe next morning, Harris sent me another message.Honestly, I was beginning to get tired of it... and this investigation.I stared at my phone for a few seconds before opening it.There were several files attached.Photos.Documents.A police report.And one name appeared repeatedly.Anton.I sat on the edge of my bed and opened the first document.According to the report, Anton had been connected to Viktor for years.Financial transactions, meetings, phone records.There were even photographs of Anton meeting Viktor outside different locations.I frowned.This was supposed to prove Viktor had been involved in Anton's murder.I opened another file.There were records showing money transferred between one of Viktor's companies and an account connected to Anton.My eyebrows lifted.This was serious.If everything was real, it could connect Viktor directly to Anton.But something bothered me.I went through the files again.The evidence was almost too perfect, every piece connected

KATHYI couldn't sleep at night.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Viktor standing in front of me.Angry.Cold.And then I remembered the look on his face when he realized I was afraid of him.That hurt more than I wanted to admit.I turned onto my side and pulled the blanket over my head.What was I supposed to do now?If I told Viktor the truth, I would lose everything.My job.My investigation.And probably my life.But if I kept lying, he would eventually find out everything on his own.And then I wouldn't even get the chance to explain.A knock sounded on my door.I sat up quickly."Who is it?""It's me."Viktor.My heart dropped.I stared at the door for a few seconds before getting up and opening it.He stood there in a black shirt, his expression unreadable.He didn't say anything.Neither did I.Finally, he looked past me."Get dressed."I frowned. "Why?""You're going downstairs.""I can walk downstairs by myself."His eyes met mine."I know."There was something different

VIKTOR The investigation had taken most of the night. By morning, we had something. I wasn't sure if it was good news. A video clip. Kathy was in it. She was standing near my office. It wasn't unusual. She lived in my house. She had every reason to walk past my office. But the timing was wrong. There was also a record of her movements around the house on the same night information about the shipment had been accessed. Again, nothing directly proved she had done anything. But there was enough to make people suspicious. Romanov stood across from my desk, holding the photograph. "She's hiding something." I looked at him. "I know." His eyebrows lifted. "You know?" "I know she's hiding something." "But you still don't think she had anything to do with the leak?" "No." He placed the photograph on my desk. "You're protecting her." I didn't answer. Because maybe I was. Romanov wasn't the only one who noticed. By breakfast, the atmosphere
