2025-10-26 01:01:56“Sir! The main investor from our European branch just pulled out!”
Rafael’s assistant almost shouted as he burst into the chaotic office. Rafael shot him a sharp look from behind the desk, his face pale from sleepless nights. “What did you just say?” “The association terminated the contract unilaterally, sir. They said our company’s reputation has dropped since the news of Miss Alyssa’s marriage to Mr. Ethan spread across the media.” The assistant’s voice trembled as he lowered his head. BANG! Rafael slammed his fist onto the desk, sending a pen flying across the room. “They’re backing out because of media gossip?! This is business, not a love drama!” But deep down, Rafael knew — it wasn’t just the company’s reputation that had fallen. Everyone was leaving because they all knew the truth: he was no longer the man in power. --- Meanwhile, in the towering headquarters of Ethan Group, the massive screen in the boardroom displayed a sharply rising graph. Alyssa sat beside Ethan, dressed in an elegant white suit, calm and composed, a digital pointer in her hand. “The merger strategy with the Asian subsidiary succeeded,” she said confidently. “But our next step is expansion into the energy sector. We need to take it before Rafael does.” Ethan looked at her with pride. “You sound like a true leader now.” Alyssa’s lips curved slightly. “I learned from the wrong person. Now I want to do it the right way.” The meeting ended successfully. The directors filed out, leaving only the two of them in the quiet room. Ethan turned toward her, his tone soft. “You know… every time I see you like this, standing so strong, I realize more and more — you don’t need anyone to shine.” Alyssa smiled faintly. “Maybe. But this time, I don’t mind sharing the light with someone.” Ethan chuckled quietly, his gaze warm. “You know, Rafael must be regretting letting you go.” Alyssa looked out through the tall glass window at the golden city skyline. “He didn’t lose me, Ethan. He lost himself. Because when he lost me… he lost the only person who ever truly cared.” --- At Rafael’s office… Papers littered the floor, files stacked messily across his desk. Rafael paced back and forth, his breathing heavy. “Maya! Where’s Maya?!” his voice thundered through the room. Maya appeared at the doorway, anxious. “I’m here, darling. What’s wrong now?” “What’s wrong? Everyone’s leaving me!” Rafael shouted, pointing at his laptop screen — where a bold headline flashed across a major business site: > ‘Ethan Group and Alyssa Holdings Launch International Energy Project — Surpassing Rafael Corporation!’ Maya’s eyes widened. “That’s… the project you planned last month!” “Yes! And somehow they got the full blueprint!” Rafael slammed the desk again. “Someone leaked it!” Maya froze, her fingers twisting nervously. Rafael’s eyes narrowed suspiciously. “Don’t tell me… it was you.” Maya flinched. “What? Me? Rafael, that’s insane! Why would I—” “Because I saw you with that man at the hotel last week!” Rafael cut her off harshly. “Maya, do you think I’m blind?” Maya stiffened, her face tightening. “I was just talking business—” “Business?!” Rafael roared. “Don’t take me for a fool! Now everyone’s laughing at me because you couldn’t keep your mouth shut!” Tears welled up in Maya’s eyes. “You never change, Rafael… always blaming everyone but yourself. Maybe if you hadn’t spent your life destroying others, yours wouldn’t be falling apart right now!” Rafael’s hand almost struck her — but he stopped himself at the last second. Maya stepped back, trembling. “Get out,” Rafael said coldly, his voice low and dangerous. “Before I really lose control.” Maya turned away, tears spilling down her cheeks as she left the room — leaving him alone in the suffocating silence. Rafael sank into his chair, staring blankly at the news photo of Alyssa and Ethan smiling for the cameras. His eyes reddened, his voice hoarse as he muttered under his breath, “You think you’ve won, Alyssa? You think you can live happily without me?”

Night erased the city in layers of black and steel.Ethan sat alone in the dim interior of his car, engine off, phone vibrating silently in his palm. The glow of the screen illuminated his face—sharp, hollowed, stripped of pretense. On it was a list of names Alyssa didn’t know existed. Men who watched her from shadows. Shell companies that moved when she moved. Bank transfers timed too precisely to be coincidence.Threats.All of them pointed toward her.He exhaled slowly, jaw tightening.“She doesn’t need to know,” he muttered to no one.That was the lie he kept telling himself.Alyssa was strong—too strong. She believed in confrontation, in control through visibility. Ethan knew better. Some wars weren’t won in the light. Some had to be buried so deeply even the victor never spoke of them again.His phone rang once. A burner number.“Talk,” he said.“They’re closing in,” the voice on the other end whispered. “Two moves. Maybe three.”Ethan smiled, cold and humorless.“Then they’re a

They called it a press conference.Alyssa called it an elegant execution stage.That morning, the company’s main building was flooded with camera flashes and hurried footsteps. Reporters packed together like a flock of predators, waiting for a single misstep to tear apart. Behind the layered glass doors, Alyssa stood alone in the waiting room, staring at her own reflection.A simple black dress wrapped her figure—no excessive jewelry, no soft colors. Her hair was slicked neatly back, revealing a face that no longer carried hesitation. And her eyes… eyes that once trembled with emotion were now calm, sharp, and cold.A new mask.Ethan watched her from the corner of the room, his jaw tightening.“You don’t have to do this alone,” he said quietly.Alyssa didn’t turn.“That’s exactly why I have to,” she replied flatly. “They need to see who’s standing in front of them. Not your shadow. Not Rafael. Not anyone else.”Ethan wanted to argue, but the words died in his throat. There was somethi

The city did not sleep that night.Lights burned behind office windows long past midnight, blinds half-drawn, shadows moving like restless ghosts. Phones stayed face-down but vibrating, messages piling up unread because everyone already knew—whatever came next would not be written in text.It would be written in damage.Alyssa stood alone in her office, jacket discarded on the back of her chair, sleeves rolled up. The glass wall reflected her image twice—one calm, one fractured. On her desk lay three phones, a tablet, and a folder stamped CONFIDENTIAL.She hadn’t opened it yet.She didn’t need to.Her gaze drifted to the city below. Somewhere out there, Davin was awake. Somewhere else, Maya was setting fire to a second fuse. And somewhere much closer than Alyssa liked to admit, Ethan was probably watching the same skyline, thinking of her.Her phone vibrated.Unknown number.She answered without greeting. “If you’re calling to threaten me, be creative. I’m tired.”Rafael’s voice came

Rafael stood alone in the underground parking garage long after the engine of his car had gone cold.The concrete walls amplified the sound of his breathing, slow and controlled, as if restraint were something he could practice like a muscle. His phone rested in his palm, screen dark now, but the last message he had read still burned behind his eyes.Alyssa will be at the east wing tonight. Alone.He hadn’t replied.He shouldn’t have even opened it.Rafael closed his eyes and leaned his forehead against the steering wheel. Loving Alyssa had never been simple. It had always been a quiet kind of destruction—slow, dignified, and inevitable.“She’s not yours,” he muttered under his breath. “She never was.”Yet his body moved before his resolve could stop it.Alyssa stood in the half-lit corridor of the east wing, reviewing documents projected onto the glass wall. The building was nearly empty at this hour, the kind of silence that felt deliberate rather than peaceful.“You’re late,” she s

Morning broke with the illusion of calm.The city woke up unaware that by noon, one name would be bleeding across every screen.Maya sat alone in her apartment, barefoot on cold marble, laptop balanced on her knees. The skyline beyond the window glowed pale gold, but her eyes were fixed on lines of code, message drafts, and scheduled releases ticking down to the second.She hadn’t slept.She hadn’t needed to.Fear sharpened her better than rest ever could.Her phone buzzed.Rafael: You’re sure about this? Once it’s out, there’s no recall.Maya typed without hesitation.That’s the point.She clicked open a folder labeled simply: CHESSBOARD.Inside were years of Davin Liang’s secrets—shell companies tied to human rights violations, recorded conversations hinting at bribery, images of offshore transfers that had never been meant to surface. Not rumors. Not whispers.Proof.Maya inhaled slowly.“This is for every time you thought you owned me,” she murmured to the empty room.Her finger h

The boardroom felt smaller than usual.Not because of the long glass table or the towering windows overlooking the city, but because of the tension pressing in from every direction. Alyssa could feel it the moment she stepped inside—the air thick with divided loyalties, unspoken calculations, and fear disguised as professionalism.Every seat was filled.Directors who once spoke with a single voice now avoided each other’s eyes. Some offered Alyssa polite nods. Others didn’t look at her at all.Ethan sat at the head of the table, jaw clenched, fingers interlocked as if holding himself together by force alone.“This meeting is now in session,” Director Klein announced, his tone formal, almost ceremonial. “We are here to address the instability currently affecting Ethan Group.”Alyssa took her seat slowly. She didn’t rush. Fear rewarded haste.“Instability caused by rumors,” Ethan said sharply. “Rumors planted with intent.”“Intent or not,” Director Hargreeve replied, adjusting his glass
