The city remained cloaked in the darkness when Lyra walked into the lobby of Moretti Holdings. Security lights cast pale reflections across the marble floors, emphasising the heavy silence of the empty building. She bypassed the receptionist without a glance, heading straight for her private elevator. By the time the doors chimed open on the executive floor, she held a thick black folder firmly under her arm.

Hayden was already waiting inside the glass- walled conference room. A massive display

  • BETRAYED BY MY FIANCE; REBORN AS HIS OBSESSION   CHAPTER 57: THE POWER HE WAS LOSING

    Damian arrived at Kade Enterprises before sunrise. The tower was already alive. Security guards paced through the marble lobby. He had built it with ruthless discipline and absolute certainty, and now an insidious wave of panic was unravelling his foundation faster than any rumour.He stepped into his private lift. Before the bronze doors could close, his phone vibrated against his palm.“Mr Kade,” his CFO said, his voice clipped and tight. “The emergency shareholders’ meeting has been moved forward.”Damian’s eyes narrowed into dark slits. “To when?”“Ten o’clock this morning.”“That wasn’t on the official calendar.”“No, sir.”“Who authorised the change?”A heavy pause lingered over the line. “The investment committee.”Damian’s jaw set into an unforgiving line. “Who else?”“The board chairman, two institutional holders, and a few independent directors.”Damian stepped out into the executive-level corridor. “Cancel it immediately.”“They’ve already published the notice, sir.”He sto

    The old man ran. For the first time in twenty years, he abandoned the invisible, calculated routine that had kept him hidden within Vance Biotech. His heavy boots slapped against the polished marble of the service corridor as he moved through the darkened wing of the building, one hand clamped tightly around the burner phone shoved deep inside his pocket.MOVE THE HEIR. IMMEDIATELY.The text burned behind his eyes like a flare. They had unlocked the lower archive- that should have been impossible. The subterranean levels had been sealed with industrial deadbolts and isolated servers long before Damian ever understood what lay beneath in Vance’s legacy. Only a handful of executive officers had known it existed; Richard Vance had made certain of that before his end.He reached the primary service lift and jammed his call thumb against the brass button. Nothing happened. He struck harder. The call light remained dead. Someone had initiated an executive override. He glanced over his shoul

    “Because someone has just changed the game.”The words hung in the still air of the command centre.Hayden stared at the encrypted notification still glowing against the dark interface of the terminal:B-17 has been opened.Directly beneath it, the second line remained fixed:SOMEONE IS INSIDE.“How did this bypass our security protocols?” Hayden asked, his voice low and sharp.“It originated inside the facility grid,” Lyra replied, her eyes locking on the terminal.“Sent by whom?”Lyra shook her head. “There’s no sender tag, and no routing header.”Hayden stepped closer, his shadow falling across the desk as he analysed the encryption structure. “This isn’t our standard algorithms.”“I know.”Which means someone deliberately bypassed the internal firewall to force this onto your primary console.”Lyra’s gaze didn’t break from the screen. “That is what concerns me.”She reached toward the keyboard to suspend the automated trade triggers. Hayden’s hand moved quickly, his fingers closin

    The city remained cloaked in the darkness when Lyra walked into the lobby of Moretti Holdings. Security lights cast pale reflections across the marble floors, emphasising the heavy silence of the empty building. She bypassed the receptionist without a glance, heading straight for her private elevator. By the time the doors chimed open on the executive floor, she held a thick black folder firmly under her arm.Hayden was already waiting inside the glass- walled conference room. A massive display projected Kade Enterprise's corporate structure into the dim room. Lyra tossed the folder onto the table.“What is our next move?’Hayden turned his dark eyes, taking in the sharp line of her shoulders. “You didn’t sleep at all.”“Neither did you.”“I had three international markets to track.”“And I had an empire to dismantle,” she replied coolly, stepping closer to the illuminated screens. She opened the folder, laying out neat rows of debt schedules, distribution contracts, and acquisition

    Ashley remained motionless beside her desk, the harsh LED light of her laptop casting long, sharp shadows across the grain of the dark wood.The silver key lay motionless on the polished surface, its worn edges glinting under the screen's pale glow. Beneath the small metal ring hung the stamped brass tag: B-17.She had seen those characters before- not in a recent quarterly briefing, and certainly not anywhere in the current facility records. She remembered the designation from years ago, back when Richard Vance still ran Vance Biotech with absolute authority, and certain obscure wings of the subterranean floor were spoken about only in guarded hushes.Her fingers closed tightly around the cool metal.Why had someone left it here, right next to her computer? And why target her tonight?She reached for her phone. Damian's name sat at the top of her frequent contacts. Her thumb hovered over the screen. Logic dictated that she call him immediately-he was the chief executive, and a securi

    The glowing window system flickered twice, then vanished into blackness.ACCESS COMPLETE.Deep in the maintenance room, the old janitor stood motionless. In the dim, ambient light of the control board, he stared at the video feed for camera Seventeen. He hadn’t touched the terminal, nor had he granted access to anyone else, yet someone had slid into the system right past him.He pulled out the entry logs to trace the IP routing, but came away with nothing: no user ID, no clearance code, and no digital footprint left on the local server. And whoever had slipped inside moved with surgical precision, as if they knew every line of code.His weathered face hardened into stone. For years, he had quietly guarded Richard Vance’s legacy, protecting secrets buried deep within the company. He knew every forgotten service tunnel, every hidden structural bay, and every dead terminal in the skyscraper. But this intruder moved through the network like a ghost that owned the house.His burner phone
