Nathan's Phone vibrated against the table. Nathan stared at it until the screen dimmed, then lit up again. He knew it was Rafael before he even picked it up. He felt his chest tighten as he slid his thumb across the glass surface of the phone.“Finally,” Rafael’s voice came sharply, “I was beginning to think you had lost your tongue.”Nathan swallowed. “I’m here.”“You sound tired," Rafael said." I'm fine. What do you want now?" Nathan asked."Do you know why you are tired? Because you live between two fires. Sooner or later, both will burn you... "“I told you already that I stand with you. What else do you want?” Nathan cut in.“Words don't count,” Rafael said sharply. “Cheap words. I want proof.”Nathan gripped the phone harder. “You want me to betray Emma again.”“Not betrayal,” Rafael corrected. “Information. Survival. Don’t fool yourself into thinking Emma trusts you. She is just tolerating you, nothing more. And Ace, he is worse than Emma when it comes to trusting people. He

The finance department of Oceanic Group is very lively today. Everyone is very busy.“Daniel,” Karen said from across the desk. “Did you finish the review for the meeting?”Daniel turned and smiled. “Yes. I finished it this morning. It is ready.”Karen sighed. “Good. Harlan is restless today. He will want exact answers.”Daniel nodded. “Then we will give him answers.” Daniel’s phone buzzed. He checked and saw a message.The message read, “Payment overdue. Final warning.”He set the phone down and pressed his palms against his forehead. “Fuck! I’m in deep shit.”“Daniel,” a colleague called from across the table. “Are you coming to the meeting?”Daniel forced a smile. “Yes, I will be there.”He picked up the file in front of him and walked out of the office. On the outside, he looked calm, but inside his mind was racing.Mr. Harlan entered the room. “Everyone, conference room now. Bring your reports.”The team stood and gathered their files.In the conference room, Harlan cleared his

“Nathan,” Rafael said slowly. “At last, you have decided to call me. “I thought you were gone for good.”Nathan lowered his voice as he spoke. “I am not gone. I only needed time to think before I spoke to you again.”“You always say you need time,” Rafael replied. “Do you think time waits for you? Do you imagine that Emma is sitting still while you hide? Do you believe that Ace has paused his plans while you stay silent? The world does not stop for you, Nathan. Time is not your friend; it is your enemy.”Nathan swallowed. “I am not hiding. I just needed to keep my distance.”“Then tell me where you are,” Rafael said. “If you are not hiding, then you should have no fear in telling me where you are, so we can talk better.”“I will not tell you where I am,” Nathan said firmly.Rafael gave a short laugh. “So you choose to keep secrets from me. That is a dangerous game, Nathan. Do you think refusing to be on my side makes you strong? You are mistaken. A hidden place does not make you safe.

The boardroom was full. All eyes were on Emma. “Good morning, everyone,” Emma said.Mr. Adams cleared his throat. “Good morning, Emma. We’re eager to hear from you.”Mr. Shaw said, “Emma, we have tolerated enough delays. Oceanic’s stock price is declining daily. Shareholders are asking if you even care about this company. They don't understand why you are not taking concrete actions to remedy the situation.”Emma kept her voice steady. “I care. That is why I act carefully instead of rushing into traps. Before you can solve a problem, you need to know the root cause of the problem, and you need to study and understand the problem. It's a mistake to try and solve a problem you don't understand the root cause of. You may end up increasing the magnitude of the problem. ”Mrs. Cole said, “We know you act carefully. But the street does not wait. We are bleeding value daily. The stock price is falling, and that is our life savings. Going down the drain.”Mrs. Lopez cut in. “And let us be

Nathan’s phone began to ring. The screen showed an unknown number. He looked at Emma and Ace.Emma said, “Answer it. We will stay here with you.”Nathan pressed the phone to his ear. “Hello.”Rafael’s voice came through. “Nathan, it has been too long. You are quiet. Too quiet.”Nathan’s hand shook slightly. Emma touched his arm to steady him. Ace watched in silence.Nathan said, “I do not know who this is.”Rafael replied, “You know. You cannot hide from me. Your silence has been noticed. I still trust you, but time is short.”Nathan swallowed. “I cannot talk.”Rafael said, “You will talk. You will remember what we gave you. You will confirm your loyalty. You will not let fear control you.”Emma whispered, “Put him on speaker.”Nathan hesitated, then pressed the button. The voice filled the room.Rafael continued, “You think others will protect you. They cannot. Only I can. But I need proof. I need your word. Do not betray me, Nathan.”Ace leaned forward. “He will not follow you anymo

Patricia answered her phone. “Good evening,” she said.“Good evening,” Rafael replied. His voice was calm.Patricia paused before speaking again. “You chose the right time. I was about to call you myself.”“Then we both saw the same problem,” Rafael said.Patricia tightened her grip on the phone. “Nathan has been very silent, and his silence is dangerous. He has not called me, and he has not answered my messages. He knows too much to disappear without a word.”“I know,” Rafael said. “His silence has meaning. I have sent him a message. All we need to do is wait for his reply.”Patricia lowered her voice. “What if he has already chosen to go against us? After all, we betrayed him and did not offer him any form of protection. What if he is speaking to others?”“Then he will regret it,” Rafael said.“You sound certain,” Patricia said.“I am,” Rafael answered.Patricia moved in her seat. “He knows my name and the part I played. If he talks, I cannot hide.”Rafael’s voice grew firm. “Nathan
