In the Shadow of Power Chapter 16-The Offensive Begins
CASSANDRA’S POVTahimik ang umaga, pero sa bawat tunog ng wall clock sa opisina ko, para akong binubulungan ng oras: Gumalaw ka na.I stood by the glass wall, city lights fading as dawn broke. Sa ibaba, the city was waking up. Sa taas, ako — gising na gising at handang makipagdigma.Damien entered quietly, carrying two cups of black coffee.“Hindi ka pa natulog, Cass,” he said, worried but steady.“I don’t need sleep,” I replied, taking the coffee. “I need results.”---THE WAR ROOM....By 6 AM, our core team filled the war room. The air was thick with anticipation.“This ends today,” I began, voice low but firm. “No more waiting for their attacks. We hit them where it hurts — financially, legally, and publicly. All at once.”Damien stepped forward, pointing at the giant screens filled with charts and data.“We’ve mapped their weak points. Offshore funds, shady partnerships, regulatory gaps. We exploit them all. Simultaneously.”My eyes swept across the room.“No one leaves until ever
In the Shadow of Power Cjapter 15- Shadows of the past return
CASSANDRA’S POVAkala ko handa na ako sa kahit anong pagsubok. Na pagkatapos ng pagkakanulo, pagkatapos ng pagligpit sa mga traydor, wala nang mas matindi pang haharapin.But I was wrong.A message arrived on my private line. No greeting, no sender ID — just two words:“We’re back.”---SCENE: THE GHOST FROM THE PASTThe message shook me more than I wanted to admit.Damien found me in my office, staring at the screen.“Cassandra?”I showed him the message.His jaw tightened.“Who?”“The shadows I thought I buried. People who nearly destroyed my father’s legacy.”---DAMIEN’S POVI could see the storm building in her again. But this was different. This was personal.“Tell me everything,” I said.She hesitated, but then the walls came down.---CASSANDRA’S POV“When my father was sick, years ago... there was a group. Former allies. They saw his weakness as opportunity. They tried to take Vale from us. Blackmail, sabotage, financial traps. I fought them off. Barely.”“And now they’re bac
In the Shadow of Power Chapter 14-The Reckoning of Allies and Enemies
CASSANDRA’S POVAkala ko, matapos naming pabagsakin ang Wesson, makakahinga na ako. Pero mali ako. Kung gaano kabilis bumagsak ang kalaban, ganoon din kabilis nagpakita ang tunay na kulay ng mga taong nasa paligid ko.Tumunog ang phone ko pagkarating ko sa office.“Anonymous source reveals internal division in Vale Group”“Leaked restructuring plan raises questions about Vale’s stability”My blood ran cold.“Damien,” I called, trying to keep my voice steady. “Get in here. Now.”---DAMIEN’S POVI came in, already knowing something was wrong. Nakita ko ang screen niya — headline after headline meant to fracture everything we built.“Leak?” tanong ko.She nodded, jaw clenched. “Someone from inside. Someone high enough to have access.”“Wesson’s trying to strike back through whispers and betrayal.”Her eyes darkened. “Then let’s smoke the traitors out.”---SCENE: STRATEGY HUDDLEWe pulled in the core team. The mood was tense. Everyone looked at everyone else, as if suddenly unsure who t
In the Shadow of Power Chapter 13 - The Aftermath and The New Dawn
CASSANDRA’S POVTahimik ang umaga sa cityscape sa labas ng floor-to-ceiling windows ng opisina ko. Pero sa loob ko, ang katahimikan ay may halong pagod, takot, at pag-asa.We survived the storm. For now.The war room’s lights were off. The monitors that once flashed with headlines and stock crashes were dark. Para bang kahit ang building namin, humihinga rin ng malalim matapos ang unos na pinakawalan namin.Now what, Cassandra?---DAMIEN’S POVNasa pinto lang ako, pinagmamasdan siya. She looked smaller somehow, standing against the city skyline. Pero alam kong hindi ito kahinaan. Ito yung sandali na ibinaba niya ang espada, kahit saglit.“Hindi ka pa ba uuwi?” tanong ko, bitbit ang dalawang tasa ng kape.Tumango lang siya, pero hindi tumingin.“I don’t know how to leave this room, Damien. Parang kapag lumabas ako, ang bigat babalik ulit.”Nilapag ko ang kape sa table niya.“Then don’t leave yet. Let the world wait a little longer.”---CASSANDRA’S POVNakangiti siya, pero seryoso ang
In the Shadow of Power Chapter 12-The Final Gambit
CASSANDRA'S POVTahimik ang war room pero ramdam ang bigat ng tensyon. Parang bawat tao sa loob ay nagpipigil ng hininga, naghihintay ng utos. Nakatayo ako sa harap ng console, ang mga daliri ko hovering above the command button na magpapasabog ng katotohanan kay Wesson. Ito na ang huling laban. Sa harap ko, kumikislap ang malaking digital screen ng war room. Charts, reports, and live feeds filled the monitors. Sa paligid ko, busy ang buong team, pero para bang lumulutang ako sa sariling mundo. We’ve spent weeks fighting back. Pinagkakatiwalaan, sinasaktan, binabagsak. Pero ngayon, Wesson will finally face what they deserve. “Are you ready?” Damien’s voice cut through my thoughts. Tumingin ako sa kanya. God, even through this storm, he stood solid beside me. I inhaled deeply. “Let’s end this. For good.” --- DAMIEN'S POV I saw the steel in her eyes. Ito yung Cassandra na alam kong hindi bibigay. Hindi susuko. “Our data’s ready. Offshore accounts, fake suppliers, ghost employ
In the Shadow of Power Chapter 11 - The Betrayal from within
CASSANDRA'S POVAkala ko, pagkatapos ng lahat ng pinagdaanan namin ni Damien, tapos na ang pinakamasakit na parte ng laban. Pero habang nakatitig ako sa phone ko at pinapakinggan ang boses ng head ng audit team, ramdam kong may isa pang bagyo ang paparating.“Ma’am, we found something during the internal investigation. I suggest you see this in person.”“Okay. Bring it up. Now.”Nanginginig ang daliri ko nang ibinaba ko ang tawag. Sa gitna ng war room na puno ng screens at charts, parang ako lang ang biglang nag-freeze.Please, huwag sana ito ang iniisip ko.Ilang minuto lang, pumasok si Damien, may dalang tablet at folder ang head ng audit. Ramdam ko ang bigat ng atmosphere habang ibinubukas ng auditor ang folder.“Ma’am,” he started, halatang may kaba rin, “we traced multiple leaks. The intel that Wesson used to file their suits… someone from inside gave it to them.”Parang may bumagsak na pader sa dibdib ko.“Who?” halos pabulong kong tanong, nanginginig ang boses ko.Tahimik na pi
