The pen resting between Elena's slender fingers tapped repeatedly against the glass desk, creating a constant, monotonous rhythm.

Tap... tap... tap...

Her attention had completely drifted away from the stack of quarterly reports spread before her. Her thoughts wandered far away, returning to her luxurious mansion—or more precisely, to Leo. The afternoon was almost over. Her son's school day had already ended, and Elena knew exactly what the little boy would ask for the moment she stepped throug

    The sound of the call ending with Elena still echoed stiffly through the cold night air. Charlie stood frozen in the courtyard of Altair Logistics. His eyes were no longer fixed on the charred remains of the building but on the transparent acrylic display case containing Leo's rescued wooden ship model.Without saying a single word, Charlie stepped closer. He lifted the case with both hands, cradled it tightly against his chest, and carried it to the black sedan parked nearby.Ray hurried after him. As soon as they were both inside the car, Ray turned around to face the back seat."Boss... what's our next move?" Ray asked, his face filled with overwhelming anxiety."I'm still thinking," Charlie replied shortly. His voice was utterly flat.After that, Charlie fell completely silent. The tall masked man turned his gaze toward the window, staring at the faint glow of Zurich's streetlights. His expression reflected confusion and an unbearable emotional burden. A suffocating silence envelo

    Under the dim glow of the emergency lights and the acrid smell of soot hanging in the air, the atmosphere in the yard of Altair Logistics felt frozen.Aria clasped her hands tightly together, forcing a look of confusion onto her face. “You mean... Mr. Vane took this wooden ship from a trash bin? Is that even possible? Someone of Mr. Vane’s status... picking up secondhand items from in front of your house?”Her response was purely an act of self-preservation. Aria simply wanted to stay out of trouble. She loved her job at Aethel Corp and had absolutely no intention of betraying her boss. She just was not ready to witness Elena’s expression shatter when those painful wounds from the past were ripped wide open.“That’s not what I mean!” Elena cut in sharply, her voice rising an octave.Elena clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Fine veins stood out along her neck as she struggled to contain the surge of anger threatening to erupt from her chest. Her gaze darkened

    The crystal chandelier in the VIP reservation area of The Grand Horizon cast a soft, warm glow, yet the atmosphere at the dining table turned instantly glacial as Aria stepped forward, her face deathly pale."Madam..." Aria called softly, her voice trembling as she fought to hold back the tension. "Assistant Ray just called me back. Mr. Vane has canceled tonight's meeting."The steady tapping of Elena’s fingers against the glass tabletop came to a sudden halt. Her eyes narrowed, flashing with sharp fury."Canceled? After making me wait here?!""The main headquarters of Altair Logistics suffered a massive fire, Madam," Aria cut in quickly before Elena’s rage could explode. "Their entire primary operational area in Zurich was reported engulfed in flames an hour ago."Thump.Elena stood up abruptly from her seat. Her luxurious black evening gown draped down gracefully, but the expression on her face shifted drastically."A fire?! What about Aethel Corp's expansion goods stored in their m

    Elena stood upright before the large vanity mirror in her bedroom. The deep black evening gown wrapped perfectly around her curves, exuding an aura of cold elegance that was both captivating and deadly. Her slender fingers carefully touched up her dark red lipstick, further accentuating the uncompromising expression on her face.“How foolish of me to believe all this time that Charlie was dead...” Elena murmured softly, staring at her reflection in the mirror. The corners of her lips lifted, forming a faint yet frighteningly calculating smile. “Do you think you can hide from me forever behind that new logistics company of yours, Charlie? After tonight, we’ll see who truly holds the power.”Deep within her chest, the hatred that had once faded was now blazing fiercely once again. Elena would never forget what it had felt like to suffer through three years of a cold and empty marriage with Charlie. If the owner of Altair Logistics truly was her ex-husband, Elena would not hesitate for e

    The top floor of Aethel Corp was shrouded in an icy silence.Inside the luxurious all-white office, Elena Victoria sat upright behind her desk. Her slender fingers danced swiftly across the laptop keyboard, the glow from the screen illuminating the sharp contours of her composed face.Two knocks echoed from the door.Aria stepped inside and stopped directly in front of the Business Queen's desk.Without taking her eyes off the laptop screen, Elena spoke flatly."Aria, have you reserved the restaurant for tonight?""Yes, Madam. A private dining room in the VIP reservation area at The Grand Horizon," Aria answered promptly."Have you personally delivered the invitation to Ray's assistant?" Elena asked again, her tone probing."Yes, Madam. Mr. Ray's assistant said they would confirm Mr. Vane's attendance."Elena's fingers froze above the keyboard.The room fell silent for several long seconds.Slowly, the corner of Elena's lips curled upward into a smirk filled with hidden schemes and ba

    As soon as he made it through the deserted corridor, Charlie came to an abrupt stop. The crushing weight in his chest after facing Elena still burned fiercely, mingling with the storm of emotions he was desperately trying to keep under control."Ray, get me a taxi. Now," Charlie ordered in a low, heavy voice as he rubbed the back of his neck.Ray nodded obediently. "Yes, Boss. Please wait here for a moment."Ray had barely taken two steps away when the phone inside Charlie's suit pocket vibrated sharply. The screen displayed Stevani's name. Letting out a quiet sigh, Charlie swiped the green button."Hello, Mr. Vane? Where are you?" Stevani asked from the other end of the line, her voice laced with concern after realizing Charlie had yet to return to the auction hall."Miss Stevani, my apologies... I have to return to the hotel earlier than expected. I'm suddenly not feeling very well," Charlie replied calmly, maintaining his professional façade."Oh, is that so? Do you need a doctor t
