Lyra barely slept that night. Long after she had turned off the lights and buried herself beneath the covers, the anonymous messages kept looping through her mind, haunting the darkness.

You are looking in the wrong place.

If you want answers about your father, stop looking at Vance Biotech. Look more closely at the people you trust.

She re-read the anonymous messages so many times that she could almost hear the phantom voice whispering in the silence of her bedroom. And every single time, the

  • BETRAYED BY MY FIANCE; REBORN AS HIS OBSESSION   CHAPTER 39: THE FALLOUT

    The first warning arrived before sunrise.Lyra stood by the window of her apartment, watching the city slowly come alive beneath the pale morning light, when her encrypted phone vibrated on the table.She picked up the phone and saw: EASTBRIDGE HAS SUSPENDED THE REFINANCING REVIEW.Her eyes remained fixed on the message. The third cut had landed, but unlike the North Coast and Crown Heights cuts, this one wouldn’t remain contained. She opened the financial report and scanned the latest development. Eastbridge decision had triggered chain reactions. Two smaller lenders had requested updated risk assessments, while another had temporarily frozen approval for Kade’s subsidiary.Lyra slowly exhaled; she had wanted Damian’s empire to bleed, but she hadn’t expected it to bleed this quickly. Her phone rang.“Ms Moretti.”Her financial director sounded tense.“Go ahead.”“The market is reacting.”“How badly?”“Kade’s empire is under pressure. Nothing has collapsed yet, but investors a

    Lyra stepped into the boardroom as the heavy double doors swung shut, sealing the hum of the executive floor.“Take a seat,” Damian said softly.Lyra moved toward the table, keeping her posture composed as she took the chair beside him. Damian gestured toward the screen. “I want your candid evaluation.”“Are you certain you want my unfiltered opinion?”A faint, controlled smile touched his lips. “That is precisely why you are here.”Lyra focused on the balance sheets, letting a few quiet moments pass while the attending executives waited in silence. Finally, she leaned forward, pointing directly to the primary capital structure. “Your chief vulnerability isn’t the physical delay at the waterfront.”The chief financial officer frowned, adjusting his glasses. “You disagree with the Crown Heights assessment?”“No,” Lyra replied evenly. “I am pointing out your overall debt exposure.”The room immediately felt silent.“You have distributed the capital obligations across multiple specialise

    Damian Kade stared at the glowing display of his phone.Lyra’s name remained fixed at the top of his recent messaging log. Three times over the last ten minutes, he had opened their direct thread, drafted a sentence, and cleared the input without sending a word. He had closed complex acquisitions without blinking, yet framing a routine message to Lyra brought an unexpected friction.He typed out a line.Damian: Are you awake?He held his thumb over the screen, paused, and cleared the text. A moment later, he tried again.Damian: Goodnight.He deleted that as well, letting out a sharp breath. “What is wrong with me?”“Are you finally acknowledging the problem?” a voice asked from the doorway.Damian looked up abruptly. Ashley stood near the frame, holding a thin manila folder, one eyebrow raised in mild amusement. He hadn’t heard the door opening.“Ashley,” he said, adjusting his posture. She stepped into his office, settling the document file onto the polished surface of his desk.

    Lyra stared at the Crown Heights file illuminated on her laptop screen.The project carried far greater value than she had initially calculated. Three major divisions of Damian Kade’s empire real estate, finance, and construction were deeply tied to its success. If Crown Heights prospered, it would solidify his holding company beyond reach. If it failed, the structural damage would ripple through his entire enterprise.She leaned back against the leather of her chair, letting the silence of the office settle around her. Over dinner, Damian had spoken of the development with the ease of a man convinced of his own invincibility, and that effortless confidence was precisely what rendered him vulnerable.Her fingers navigated the public registry. The waterfront parcel formed the linchpin of the entire blueprint; without ownership, they could not proceed. “Yet according to the record, the owner had not completed the final deed transfer.” A slow smile touched her lips; there was a fracture.

    Lyra leaned back in her chair. The anonymous message from the previous night still lingered in her mind like a quiet threat.Don’t ask who entered the facility. Ask what they took.She had spent most of the night dissecting those words. Yet as morning light filtered through the blinds, another reality demanded her attention.Damian Kade.He was her original target- the man who had seized control of her father’s company and believed Lyra Moretti was nothing more than an ambitious businesswoman looking for an opportunity. He had no idea who she really was, and that was precisely how she intended to keep it.Opening a secure file on her desk, Lyra brought up a secondary folder labelled: KADE INDUSTRIAL LOGISTICS.She scanned the financial metrics. The division managed transportation and storage networks across Damian’s corporate portfolio. Lyra quickly realised that its supply chain relied heavily on three major independent distributors. One of those distributors was North Coast Distribu

  • BETRAYED BY MY FIANCE; REBORN AS HIS OBSESSION   CHAPTER 34: THE ATMOSPHERIC LOG

    Lyra couldn’t sleep. The anonymous message from the previous night kept replaying in her mind; a quiet threat kept pulsing through her thoughts.If you want to understand what happened to Richard, start with the night he died. Look at the atmospheric log.For years, she had expected that her father died in a car accident. But now, for the first time, she questioned everything. Beside her, Hayden slept peacefully, his arms resting across the space where she had been. Slipping carefully out of bed, she carried her laptop into the living room.Opening the Vance Biotech database, she searched for records matching the date of Richard’s death. But nothing appeared; she tried the eastern facility’s internal archive, only for a prompt to flash across the screen.RESTRICTED ACCESS- AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED.She remembered the designation; she typed RV-H07.The screen flickered. PARTIAL ACCESS GRANTED.A directory of archived records filled her screen. She selected the environment log for the eas
