“Dev, are you sure you want to work late again tonight?”

Lila’s worried voice filled the studio as she prepared coffee.

Deviana’s eyes stayed on her laptop screen, where the recovery bar had reached almost 90%. “I can’t stop now, Lil. If I leave this, all the data could be corrupted. This evidence is too important.”

Lila bit her lip. “But after yesterday’s threat… I’m scared something might happen to you.”

Deviana turned and forced a smile. “Don’t worry. They’re just trying to scare me. We can’t let them win.”

Before Lila could reply, the sharp sound of shattering glass came from the back of the studio.

CRASH!

Both of them jumped. The cup in Lila’s hand fell and spilled across the floor. “Oh my God! What was that?”

Deviana’s heart pounded as she rushed toward the noise. Shards of glass littered the floor near the back window. A rock with a piece of paper tied around it had smashed through.

Her hands trembled as she untied the note. The crude handwriting was unmistakable:

    A light rain drizzled down on the sidewalk that night. Deviana stood in front of an old warehouse on the outskirts of the city—the very place mentioned in the anonymous message. Her hand gripped her phone tightly, her heartbeat erratic.Lila had warned her firmly earlier. “Dev, this is too dangerous! It could be a trap!”“But if I don’t go, we may never find out who’s behind all these lies,” Deviana had replied, her voice steady even though fear gnawed at her chest.She stepped inside. The iron door creaked loudly, the sound scraping against her nerves. Rust and dust filled the air. A flickering neon light hung overhead, adding to the oppressive atmosphere.“Deviana.”The low voice emerged from a dark corner.Deviana turned sharply, her eyes narrowing. From the shadows, a man in a black cap stepped out. His face was half-covered by a mask, leaving only his eyes visible—cold, filled with secrets.“Who are you?” Deviana demanded.The man didn’t answer. Instead, he tossed an envelope ont

    “Deviana, was that really you in the video just now?!”A journalist’s voice cut through the chaos of the ballroom, followed by camera lenses zeroing in on her face.Deviana stood frozen on stage, the hand holding the microphone trembling violently. Her breath came short, her chest tight. Every gaze pierced her like a thousand knives.“I… it’s not true!” her voice cracked, barely audible. “That video is manipulated! Everything you saw—”“But the witness claimed she worked directly with you! She said you once ordered her to forge documents!” another reporter shot back.The ballroom erupted into a tribunal. Lila, standing beside Deviana, tried to intervene. “Enough! This is not a courtroom, stop interrogating her here!”But the cameras kept flashing, the lights exploding around them.---Across the room, Leviana sipped champagne with a satisfied smile. She watched Deviana falter on stage, her frame collapsing under invisible weight. “Finally,” she whispered.---Deviana staggered down fr

    “If that attack the other night wasn’t enough, we need to launch something bigger.”Leviana narrowed her eyes, her voice icy as she looked at Rendra and Kavin, seated across from her in her office. On the glass table lay printed articles, event schedules, and a list of names that needed to be “handled.” The city lights outside reflected her face on the window like the shadow of someone merciless.Rendra nodded quickly. “We’ve already lost one flash drive, Miss. The physical attack did rattle them, but if we really want to silence her, we need a narrative that can’t be questioned.”Kavin added, his tone low, almost like a threat: “And that evidence has to appear in front of the camera. The public doesn’t trust words anymore—they trust visuals. We’ll set up a scene that can’t be explained away.”Leviana’s lips curved into a thin smile. “Good. I want three stages: first, destroy Deviana’s professional backing—make her clients pull away. Second, produce a so-called ‘reliable witness’ who

    “Deviana Pramesti?”The deep voice made Deviana, who had just closed her studio door, spin around.A man in a black suit stood under the streetlight, his face half-hidden by the shadow of a hat. His gaze was sharp, threatening—like a blade aimed straight at her heart.Deviana took a step back, her body rigid. “Who are you? What do you want?”The man walked closer with slow, measured steps. “I’m just a messenger. A message from someone who doesn’t want you poking around anymore.”“A message?” Deviana lifted her chin, trying to hide her fear. “If you’re Leviana’s stooge, just say so! I’m not afraid of her.”He gave a short, cold laugh. “You should be. People who oppose her… don’t usually last long.”---Deviana clenched her fists. “I won’t back down. If she tries to ruin me with lies, I’ll fight back with the truth.”The man stopped a meter away. “Truth? The world doesn’t care about truth, Deviana. The world cares about who controls the story. And right now… that’s not you.”“If you thi

    That night, Leviana’s luxurious apartment hummed with tension. She paced back and forth, phone clutched in her hand. Her gaze was sharp, a restless edge hidden beneath the icy persona she always maintained.“How could you be so careless?!” Leviana snapped into the phone. “That flash drive should have been secured, not dropped right in front of Deviana!”A nervous male voice stammered from the other end. “Miss, I didn’t mean to… she just showed up at the apartment, I panicked.”“Stupid excuse!” Leviana stamped her foot against the marble floor. “If Deviana manages to open that flash drive, our whole operation is finished.”---Shortly after, the apartment door opened. A sharply dressed man known as Rendra—the brain Leviana had hired to manipulate social media—entered and bowed respectfully.“Miss Leviana, I’ve heard about the problem. Don’t worry, we still have time to erase every trace. I can make the flash drive read as empty or corrupted.”Leviana fixed him with a hard look. “Are yo
