Chapter 25: The Confidence Vote

Auteur: Miss Jean
last update Date de publication: 2026-02-16 13:09:20

The emergency board meeting was scheduled for 8:00 a.m.

Cassian arrived at 7:32.

He didn’t rush. He never did. Power wasn’t in speed. It was in control. And control meant walking into a room as though nothing inside it could threaten you.

Even when it could.

The boardroom felt different that morning.

Colder.

Tighter.

The usual polished pleasantries were absent. No light conversation. No quiet laughter over espresso. Just a stack of documents at each seat and an air heavy with intent.

  • Divorced on Our Wedding Night   Chapter 118: Cracks Beneath Control

    The rain had not stopped.By mid-morning, Rotterdam was covered in a cold, silver haze. The streets were wet, the sky heavy, and the tension inside the port authority building was even heavier.Avelyn walked beside Cassian in silence.Their footsteps echoed faintly along the polished floor. People moved around them officials, assistants, security but none of it felt real. Everything seemed distant.Muted.Because the only thing Avelyn could hear clearly…Was her own heartbeat.“Stay focused.”Cassian’s voice was low, steady, just enough for her to hear.Avelyn didn’t look at him.“I am.”But she knew he didn’t mean the meeting.And he knew she was lying.They stepped into the conference room together.Lucas and Tan were already inside, standing near the large table. A group of officials sat across from them, their expressions polite but guarded.At the center sat the lead director.A middle-aged man with sharp eyes and a carefully neutral expression.“Mr. Blackridge. Ms. Cross,” he sa

    The rain started just before dawn.It came softly at first, tapping against the tall glass windows of the office, then slowly grew heavier, as if the sky itself had been holding something back for too long.Inside, the room was quiet.Too quiet.Avelyn Cross stood alone near the window, her arms folded loosely across her chest as she stared out at the gray harbor of Rotterdam. The ships were still moving, cranes still lifting cargo, the world still running as if nothing had changed.But something had.She could feel it.Today was the day the decision would be made.And yet, that wasn’t what weighed on her mind.Not really.A faint reflection stared back at her from the glass. Calm. Composed. Controlled.Just like always.But behind that calm…There was something else.Something she had spent years burying.“You didn’t sleep.”Cassian’s voice came from behind her.Low. Steady. Familiar.Avelyn didn’t turn immediately.“I could say the same to you.”There was a brief silence before she

  • Divorced on Our Wedding Night   Chapter 116: The Trust Factor

    The morning in Rotterdam was cold and gray. Clouds covered the sky, and a steady wind moved across the massive port. Ships arrived one after another, carrying goods from every part of the world. Inside the temporary office building near the harbor, Cassian and his team were already at work. No one mentioned it directly. But everyone understood the situation. This was not like Singapore. This was not like Dubai. Here, one word mattered more than anything else. Trust. A Different Approach Lucas stood in front of the main screen, adjusting the presentation. The usual data was still there. Efficiency rates. Cargo speed. Reduced delays. But something had changed. “We need to simplify this,” Avelyn said. Lucas looked at her. “It is already clear.” Avelyn shook her head. “Not for Europe.” She walked closer to the screen. “They do not just want numbers.” She pointed at the data. “They want to understand how decisions are made.” Lucas nodded slowly. “So we explain the

    The flight to Europe was quiet. Cassian’s private jet moved steadily through the night sky, leaving the glowing lights of Dubai behind. Below them, the desert slowly disappeared, replaced by darkness and distant oceans. Inside the cabin, no one was truly relaxed. The stakes had changed. Singapore was secured. Dubai was underway. But Europe… Europe was different. Arrival in Rotterdam Morning came with a gray sky. The plane landed smoothly at Rotterdam The Hague Airport. Unlike Dubai, Rotterdam did not shine with glass towers and desert light. It felt colder. More serious. The air was crisp, and the sky was filled with heavy clouds. As the team drove toward the port, the landscape changed. Massive industrial zones stretched across the horizon. Steel structures. Endless containers. Wide waterways filled with cargo ships. The Port of Rotterdam was enormous. Even larger than Dubai. And far more complex. Tan looked out the window. “This place feels… intense.” Lucas

    The Dubai skyline shimmered under the morning sun. Glass towers reflected golden light across the city, while the desert stretched endlessly beyond. At the port of Jebel Ali, activity had already reached full speed. Crates moved. Ships docked. Machines roared. But inside the port authority building, something even bigger was happening. The second node of the global logistics network was being built. Progress in Motion Lucas stood in the main control room with a group of Dubai engineers. Large screens displayed system architecture, data flows, and installation timelines. “Connection to Singapore will be established in phases,” Lucas explained. He pointed at the diagram. “First, we integrate the port scheduling system.” One of the engineers nodded. “And after that?” Lucas continued, “Cargo tracking, container routing, and automated coordination.” The engineers exchanged impressed looks. Tan leaned against the wall, watching everything. “Translation,” he said casually,

  • Divorced on Our Wedding Night   Chapter 113: The Dubai Decision

    The sun rose slowly over Dubai the next morning. Golden light spread across the desert and reflected off the glass towers of the city. The skyline looked like something from another world tall, shining buildings rising from endless sand. Far from the busy downtown area, the port of Jebel Ali was already awake. Massive cranes moved across rows of containers. Cargo ships waited patiently in the harbor while trucks carried goods toward the city and beyond. Inside the port authority building, Cassian and his team gathered once again in the conference room. The meeting with Sebastian Vale the previous evening had changed the atmosphere. Everyone understood now that the race for the global logistics network was no longer quiet competition. It had become a direct battle. Lucas stood near the large digital screen reviewing the system data. Singapore’s port glowed brightly on the map. The first node of the network was performing perfectly. Tan leaned back in his chair with a cup of

    Smoke still clung to the air when we arrived.Even from outside, the damage was visible. One side of Dr. Moore’s clinic had been blackened by flame. Fire trucks were still stationed along the curb. Police tape fluttered in the early afternoon wind.My clinic.The first thing I built without Cassian
