THE CENTRAL PARK ENCOUNTER

Ang sumunod na umaga sa Manhattan ay nagdala ng mas makapal na layer ng niyebe. Upang pansamantalang takasan ang bigat at gulo ng nakaraang gabi sa The Plaza, ipinasya kong ipasyal si Leo sa Sheep Meadow sa loob ng Central Park. Suot ng aking anak ang kaniyang makapal na red winter coat habang masayang tumatakbo sa gitna ng maputing kapaligiran, sinusubukang gumawa ng isang maliit na snowman gamit ang kaniyang maliliit na kamay.

Naupo ako sa isang bench na kahoy, hawa

    THE NEW YORK ENEMYAng sikat ng araw sa Manhattan ay hindi nagdala ng init, kundi isang masalimoot na lamig na tila ba bumaon sa aking balat habang nakatayo ako sa harap ng glass windows ng Apex Global Talent Solutions. Pagkatapos ng matinding komprontasyon sa The Manhattan Club, kung saan palihim na sinunog ni Kai Vance ang kaniyang sariling reputasyon para lamang patigilin ang paninira ni Morgana sa media, akala ko ay magkakaroon na ako ng kahit kaunting kapayapaan. Ngunit sa mundo ng mga elitista, ang bawat pag-atras ng isang kaaway ay nangangahulugan lamang ng pagpasok ng isang mas mapanganib na mandaragit."Ma'am Wren," marahang tawag ni Jane habang pormal na humahakbang pumasok sa aking opisina. Hawak niya ang kaniyang corporate tablet na kasalukuyang nag-iilaw mula sa mga pulang babala. "We have a critical operational breach, and this time, it’s not coming from the Vance holding branch. Isang bagong karibal na kumpanya mula sa Wall Street, ang Vanguard Executive Search, and cur

    THE ABSOLUTE SURRENDERNapatulala ang apat na senior corporate lawyers ni Kai nang marinig ang kaniyang pormal at marahas na utos. Kai was burning his own family's reputation and risking a massive public scandal just to shield my name and protect Leo’s future from Morgana's desperation. He was using his entire billion-dollar Vance holding branch as a physical shield for us in front of the whole world.I go back in my seat and listen to him their conversation. Liam stood on my back while looking Kai in a cold blue eyes."Mr. Vance, that statement will drop our public investment inputs by another five percent or more, this will definitely not going to approve by your Vance Fam-," his head lawyer stammered with wide, horrified eyes.Before his head lawyer finished his line."Do not make me repeat myselft", Kai became dangerously serious, looking his head lawyers as if he was slicing the. "Execute it now," Kai growled coldly, his grey eyes never leaving my face as the lawyers rushed ou

    THE TRUTH UNCOVEREDNapatitig sa akin si Kai at ang kaniyang tycoon mask ay tuluyang nag-crack, letting me see the raw, bleeding mixture of intense fury and overwhelming regret in his gray eyes. I cannot deny it. Nakaramdam ako ng lungkot ng makita ito pero hindi ko ito ipinahalata. This is exactly what I want. Seeing him regret. Before he could speak to re-assert his dominant grip, the double doors of the private room were thrown open by club security.Jane entered quickly, holding her corporate tablet, her face pale but her eyes filled with an absolute professional urgency."Ma'am Wren, sorry to interrupt the mediation, but we have a catastrophic leak from the Manila branch," Jane reported smoothly, her voice shaking as she checked the encrypted files.I looked at her and Jane gave me the tablet and let me the see what exacly she meant.Jane explains."Morgana just filed an official statement to the international press. She is claiming that the old 'Marriage Contract’ from six years

    THE MANHATTAN CLUB AMBUSHThe private dining room of The Manhattan Club was filled with the quiet, suffocating luxury of dark wood and vintage crystal. We enter to the main hall and saw Kai Vance sat at the head of the long executive table, looking every bit the absolute ruler of his financial district, his charcoal-gray suit perfectly matching the intimidating atmosphere of the room.When I walked in, his gray eyes instantly target-locked onto my face. I wore a pristine white power suit, my stride side-by-side with Liam carrying an absolute, invincible aura. I looked him straightly and smile a little as formality and to not let any one in the room thinks differently about me and my company."Good evening, CEO Reyes," Kai said, his voice dropping into that quiet, suffocating baritone as I sat across from him. He didn't look like a desperate man; he spoke with the absolute certainty of a tycoon who believed he still held the leverage."I see you brought your Wall Street shield again. I

    THE CORPORATE CHESSBOARDAng paghaharap sa St. Jude Academy ay naging mabilis na balita sa mga business circle ng New York. Throughout the entire afternoon, the corporate atmosphere inside the Apex Global headquarters was loaded with friction. Kai Vance was no longer playing the defensive local tycoon; he was utilizing his billion-dollar Vance holding branch in North America to target my primary clients from Wall Street. But I don't care. You can talk all they want but they cannot bite me. These how I survice all these years in New York.Naputol ang pag iisip ko ng biglang may kumatok sa aking pinto ng opisina at saka iniluwa si Jane."Ma'am Wren, two of our biggest financial trade partners just requested an immediate executive bypass conference," Jane reported smoothly as she entered my office at exactly 3:00 PM. "According to their managers, Kai Vance is offering them double their logistics support under a new North American expansion plan. He is trying to isolate our agency."Vanc

    CHAPTER 26: THE SCHOOL BOARD STANDOFFThe next morning, the winter sun cast sharp, clear light over the private gates of St. Jude Academy Manhattan—ang pinaka-eksklusibong paaralan para sa mga anak ng mga diplomats, tycoons, at high-society executives sa New York. Suot ko ang aking charcoal-gray trench coat, may light make-up at habang nakaladlad ang aking mahabang buhok,ang aking mukha ay nanatiling isang perpektong pader ng yelo habang hawak ko ang maliit na kamay ni Leo. Leo look at me, and smile, hindi nya maitago ang kanyang excitement sa pagpasok sa kanyang bagong school. Then I gave my motherly smile back to him.I press his nose. "You're so much excited honey." The Leo nodded.I'm happy seeing Leo like this, and this the exact reason of my fight against who wants to throw us back into a cage.Sinulyapan ko si Liam na naglalakad sa tabi namin, ang kaniyang tindig bilang primary trust grant donor ng paaralan ay nagbigay sa amin ng isang marangyang proteksyon.
