The night pressed against the windows like a tide of shadow, heavy and relentless. Alyssa stood in the center of her office, fingers clenched around a stack of reports she could no longer read. Her pulse throbbed with the remnants of fury—fury at Davin, at Lionel, at the entire board…

And at Ethan.

The door slammed open.

Ethan stepped in, chest rising and falling with barely contained rage.

“Why didn’t you tell me you confronted Lionel?”

Alyssa didn’t turn. “Because I didn’t need your permission.”

He took another step, voice rising. “Permission? Alyssa, this is dangerous. Davin isn’t going to sit quietly while you dismantle his network.”

She finally faced him—eyes molten, voice razor-sharp.

“And what, Ethan? You expect me to hide behind you? Let you call every shot? Pretend I’m fragile so your ego stays intact?”

He flinched, just barely.

“That’s not what I said.”

“But it’s what you think.”

Alyssa threw the papers onto her desk; they scattered like broken feathers.

    The argument began without a clear beginning.It started as tension—thick, unspoken, coiled tight between them the moment Ethan stepped into Alyssa’s office. The air itself felt sharp, as if every breath could cut. Alyssa didn’t look up from the documents spread across her desk, but she felt him there. His presence had always had weight. Tonight, it carried fire.“You went behind my back again,” Ethan said.Alyssa’s pen did not pause. “You walked into my office uninvited. Again.”He shut the door harder than necessary. The sound echoed, sealing them inside a room already suffocating with things unsaid. “You froze Davin’s acquisition without looping me in. Do you have any idea what that does to the board? To me?”She finally lifted her gaze. Calm. Cold. Controlled. “It buys us time. If you’re worried about your reputation, you should be thanking me.”“That’s not what this is about,” he snapped. “You’re making unilateral moves that paint a target on your back.”“And you’re angry,” Alyss

    The first thing Alyssa did was stop reacting.No more emotional responses. No more rushing into rooms with her heart pounding faster than her strategy. Davin thrived on chaos—on watching people stumble, collide, destroy each other for him. If she wanted to stop him, she had to become something colder than his expectations.She locked herself in the legal war room just after midnight.The glass walls reflected her figure endlessly—sharp silhouette, eyes focused, posture unyielding. The city outside was quiet, but inside her mind, every document, every clause, every loophole screamed for attention.Davin’s acquisition plan was elegant. Brutal. Nearly untouchable.Nearly.Alyssa spread the files across the table: shareholder agreements, offshore holding structures, cross-border acquisition rules, regulatory filings disguised as routine transfers. Davin hadn’t broken the law directly. He had bent it until it begged.But the law had one weakness Davin hadn’t accounted for.Intent.“You hid

    Rafael had always believed he understood danger.He had walked into hostile boardrooms with nothing but a smile and a threat hidden behind his eyes. He had signed contracts that ruined lives and watched men twice his age crumble under pressure. He had loved people capable of destroying him—and stayed anyway.But none of that prepared him for the moment he realized Davin Liang had been watching him all along.It happened quietly.No dramatic chase. No alarms. No raised voices.Just a closed door.Rafael had followed a lead he shouldn’t have—one of Davin’s shell companies hidden behind a harmless name. The building was empty at night, its glass corridors reflecting his own silhouette as he moved deeper inside. He had just accessed the internal server when the lights snapped on all at once.“Impressive,” a calm voice said behind him. “But sloppy.”Rafael turned slowly.Davin stood near the door, hands clasped behind his back, his expression unreadable. Two men flanked him—security, not b

    The ballroom of the Meridian Crown Hotel glittered like a jewel cut too sharply to be trusted.Crystal chandeliers rained light over silk gowns and tailored suits, each reflection hiding a calculation, each smile carefully measured. Music flowed softly, elegant enough to mask whispered threats and fragile alliances. Tonight’s international corporate gala was billed as a celebration of global cooperation—but everyone who mattered knew it was a battlefield dressed in gold.Alyssa stepped inside with her spine straight and her expression serene.She wore a midnight-blue gown, deceptively simple, the kind that didn’t demand attention but commanded it. Her hair was swept back, exposing her neck—bare, vulnerable, deliberate. To the watching eye, she looked composed. To those who truly knew her, she looked armed.Ethan arrived moments later, flanked by board members and foreign investors. He didn’t walk beside Alyssa, not after their unresolved tension—but his gaze found her instantly. It li

    The city outside Alyssa’s penthouse glimmered like a living thing—restless, watchful, indifferent. Night pressed against the glass walls, reflecting two figures standing too close, breathing too fast, carrying too many unspoken truths between them.Ethan stood by the window, jacket discarded, sleeves rolled up like he was preparing for a fight he didn’t know how to win. Alyssa lingered near the table, fingers curled around the rim of a glass she hadn’t touched. The silence between them was sharp, humming with unfinished arguments and desires that refused to stay buried.“You shouldn’t have followed me,” Alyssa said finally, her voice steady but thin.Ethan turned. “You shouldn’t have walked away.”Her gaze flickered. “That’s not an answer.”“It’s the only one I have.”He stepped closer, slowly, as if approaching a wild animal that might bolt at any second. Alyssa didn’t move, but her breath changed—shorter, shallower. He noticed. Of course he did.“You’re exhausted,” he said quietly.

    Maya had never believed in luck—only leverage. Only pressure. Only the sharp edge of necessity that pushed people to betray themselves. And tonight, she planned to use all three.The steel-gray sky hung low above Davin’s satellite company, a cold and faceless building that mirrored the man who owned it. Maya stood on the rooftop of the adjacent structure, wind tearing at her coat, the city glittering beneath her like a broken promise.Rafael arrived late—of course he did. Always dramatic. Always refusing to admit he worried for her.“You picked the worst possible place for a meeting,” he muttered, pushing back his messy hair.Maya didn’t look at him. “I don’t trust indoor conversations anymore.”“You don’t trust anyone,” Rafael corrected. “Including me.”She smirked. “Especially you.”But she didn’t walk away.And he didn’t leave.That was their curse.---The infiltration planRafael moved closer to stand beside her, leaning on the ledge. “So,” he said, voice steadier than his eyes,
