"I just want to hold you." Morgan immediately pulled Alice into a forced embrace.

"Morgan, that’s enough this time. Next time I will not forgive you if you hug me whenever you please. Remember this! You are only my ex-husband." Alice slapped Morgan and walked away.

Meanwhile, Morgan smiled, because he felt Alice was no longer cold towards him. This man felt healed, even though his body was still weak.

A week later Morgan had recovered. Today he visited his office, now full of chaos. The remaining employees looked at him with a mixture of fear and respect. Morgan took a deep breath, calming himself. He knew he had to show that he was still a firm leader, even though his heart was wounded.

Because of his scandal at that time, he had driven his company into bankruptcy. He received temporary help from Alice, who had once been considered merely his replacement wif

    A True Happily Ever AfterThe silence that settled upon the old textile factory, after Mr Cairo, NovaCorp’s chief operative, fell to Bima’s precise shot, was profound. Morgan, Alice, and Marcel escaped, seamlessly extracted by Bima, leaving Cairo's body and his fallen men as undeniable proof of NovaCorp’s fracturing power.Yet, the real victory was not achieved in that desolate factory. It lay within the hard drive Marcel had secured in their hideout. Upon returning to their secret base, they immediately began analysing the vast trove of data Charles had painstakingly collected.The archive contained comprehensive details regarding NovaCorp’s deep involvement in global market destabilisation schemes, rampant money laundering, and illegal security contracts with some of the world’s most authoritarian governments. With this irrefutable raw data in hand, Morgan no longer needed to operate in the shadows. He passed copies of the evidence to trusted political contacts and several reputable

    lThe Architect's Revelation and the Hunt's EndMorgan knew they couldn't fight NovaCorp, a global organisation operating at a geopolitical level, merely with firepower. They had to use intelligence and cunning. Marcel, driven by fury that Alice was abducted after he himself had just found peace, became Morgan’s most valuable asset.“We have to know what key they want, Marcel,” Morgan said in their secret workroom. “Charles called you a pawn, but you must know where he hid his most sensitive information.”Marcel nodded, his eyes blazing with concentration. “Charles never trusted me, but he loved to boast. He often mentioned a secret place he called the 'Underground Archive'. Not money assets, Morgan, but data. All of NovaCorp's secrets he’d collected over two decades, just in case NovaCorp ever betrayed him.”Morgan and Marcel immediately set out. They tracked cryptic coordinates Charles had left in a rare book in his private library, which led to an old, hidden bunker beneath the rui

    The Serpent's NestMorgan did not sleep. The image of the knife against Alice's delicate skin was burnt onto his retina, eclipsing everything else. He was back in the blackest depths of his existence, but this time, he had a clear focus: revenge would be secondary to retrieval.“Bima, I need everything you have on NovaCorp’s primary international data facilities. Marcel, tell me what you know about their operational security protocols.” Morgan’s voice was dangerously low, devoid of emotion, yet radiating a terrifying finality. He was no longer the CEO; he was the ghost he had become after Alvin’s death, but refined, focused, and utterly ruthless.Bima, recovering from his shock, was all professionalism. “NovaCorp operates under layers of shell companies, Sir. Their physical locations are almost impossible to track, shielded by state-level security. But I found a pattern: major asset transfers always pass through a central hub, typically a highly secure satellite office in a neutral zo

    The Architect of the New Dawn The morning sun, filtered through the thick leaves of the old oak tree, no longer felt like a spy watching Alice; it felt like a silent witness to her survival. The large, imposing Morgan mansion, once a fortress against outside enemies, was slowly being transformed, brick by painstaking brick, into a true home. And Alice, with the aid of her cane, was the sole architect of this peaceful revolution. It had been several months since the night of the explosion at the north pier and the miracle of Marcel’s resurrection. The immediate chaos had subsided, but the silence that followed was heavy, filled not with external threats, but with the demanding task of internal healing. Morgan, who had found peace through action and the reunion with his brother, was now consumed by supporting Marcel's new venture. Alice’s path to recovery, however, was purely personal. Her scars were not just visible, etched onto her leg that now required the polished mahogany cane f

    Falling in Love with a Beautiful Nurse Despite the miracle of Marcel's resurrection having ended the grief of Morgan and Alice, Marcel’s physical recovery from the gunshot wound to his abdomen still took time. The wound had healed miraculously thanks to quick, confidential medical attention, but muscle and nerve damage required him to rely on a wheelchair for several weeks, followed by a cane, to ensure full recovery. Initially, Marcel hated his wheelchair. The man who had lived his life in the shadows, always moving quickly and quietly, was now tethered to a mobility aid. Morgan tried to cheer him up by giving him a laptop and documents for his Phoenix Logistics company, ensuring Marcel stayed busy. “Just think of it as a compulsory holiday, Brother,” Morgan joked one morning as he drove Marcel to his weekly check-up. “A holiday that makes me look like a paralysed corpse,” Marcel grumbled. “I should be at the office, not a hospital. I am done with all forms of locked institutio
