CHAPTER 59

The sound of shuffling papers echoed in the silent boardroom.

Kate stood alone at the window of her office, staring out at the gray skyline, her arms folded tightly across her chest. The report in her hands trembled slightly, though her grip was firm. Her lips were pressed into a thin line, her breathing shallow.

The paper didn’t lie.

The newly developed flagship software—code-named Project Nova—had been secretly shipped to a tech distributor in China. Under a different label. Without her signature. Without authorization.

The implications were massive. Not just legally—but morally.

The company her father built from the ground up had almost been sunk overnight.

A soft knock interrupted her thoughts.

“Ma’am,” Joyce said gently, stepping into the office, “they’re waiting in the boardroom.”

Kate turned, her face composed despite the storm inside her.

“Tell them I’ll be right there.”

The boardroom was icy.

Kate walked in, and the tension shifted immediately. She met the eyes

    CHAPTER 62:The SE Mansion stood tall and cold like a fortress carved from secrets. Its marbled gates opened slowly as Adele’s black car pulled in, tires crunching against the gravel path lined with tall hedges and hidden cameras. The estate was silent, too silent—even the birds seemed to avoid this place.Adele stepped out with poise, dressed in a fitted navy dress, her expression respectful but unreadable. She walked through the main corridor, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor. Two guards flanked her as they led her into a private chamber decorated in dark gold, velvet, and mahogany.The Shadow Executive sat near the grand window, bathed in shadows and the dim morning light. He didn’t stand to greet her.“Mr. Howard said he’ll come personally,” Adele began, standing with her hands clasped in front of her. “Alone. He doesn't want anyone escorting him.”The SE’s eyes glinted. “Good. As expected.”Silence stretched between them. Then, slowly, he raised a hand and wav

    CHAPTER 61The sun poured through the wide windows of Kate’s office, but the warmth didn’t reach her today. She sat behind her desk at Titan Innovations, immersed in files from the AI department, trying to reorient herself after days of turmoil.Her assistant knocked lightly and stepped in. “There’s someone here to see you. He says his name is Mr. Langston.”Kate frowned. That name wasn’t unfamiliar. In fact, it triggered a subtle discomfort. “Send him in.”The door opened, and a sharply dressed man in his mid-sixties walked in with the kind of confidence that came from decades of winning corporate battles. Gregory Langston—her late father’s fiercest rival in business.“Miss Dray,” he said with a cool smile, “or do you prefer Mrs. William Dray now?”Kate stood slowly, guarded. “What do you want?”Langston placed a thick folder on her desk and took a seat uninvited. “A partnership proposal. Your AI project is impressive. With my funding and global reach, we could make history.”Kate di

    CHAPTER 60The hallway at Greenville Hospital was calm, almost too quiet for a place that had seen panic just hours earlier.Tina adjusted the strap of her handbag, returning from the restroom, her thoughts busy with messages and errands. As she turned the corner, her eyes landed on a familiar figure standing near a private ward.Tall. Still. Suited in deep charcoal. Hands in his pockets. William.Her eyebrows shot up.“William?” she called out, her voice laced with surprise and curiosity.William turned. His face, though calm, carried a subtle weight—a softness she wasn’t used to seeing.Tina walked briskly toward him. “What are you doing here?” she asked, halting in front of him. “Isn’t your wife about to give birth?”“She fainted,” William answered gently. “Stress. But she’s okay now. She and the baby are safe.”His voice was low, softer than usual. Emotional, even. It caught Tina off guard.“I’m glad to hear that,” she said, her tone easing.“I didn’t know you were here,” he added

    CHAPTER 58The faint hum of jazz floated through the air, mixing with the distant sound of city traffic.Lucas sat in his tidy apartment, buried in stacks of paperwork. His study was pristine—everything arranged in sharp order, just the way he liked it. The only thing out of place was the cup of coffee beside him, untouched, steam curling lazily into the air.He scribbled notes on a legal brief, eyes sharp and focused.Then, his phone buzzed.He glanced down, saw the name flashing across the screen—and frowned.Rachelle.He stared at it for a moment. They hadn’t spoken since the breakup a few weeks ago. She had ended it, walked away without a word of goodbye. And now—she was calling?With a heavy sigh, he answered, tone flat. “Yeah?”Her voice came through shaky and tearful. “Lucas… please don’t hang up.”He said nothing.“I—I miss you,” she stammered, her voice cracking. “I’ve made mistakes. I know that. But I can’t stop thinking about you. Please, Lucas… just give us one more chance

    CHAPTER 57The sharp slam of William’s car door echoed through the police station parking lot.He strode through the glass doors with clenched fists and stormy eyes, heart pounding in his chest. Everything in him buzzed with urgency. The image of Kate in handcuffs had haunted him all night.He approached the front desk.“I’m here to see Kate Dray,” he said, barely able to keep his voice calm.The officer behind the desk looked up, casual and unhurried. “She’s already been released.”William blinked. “What?”“Bailed out about ten minutes ago.”“By who?” William asked quickly.The officer flipped through the logbook. “Sorry. The person asked to remain anonymous.”William leaned in, his brows pulling tight. “A man? Woman? Name, face, anything?”“Male,” the officer said. “Well-dressed. Didn’t leave a name. Just paid, signed, and left. That’s all I’ve got.”William stepped back slowly, his jaw tightening. Someone was one step ahead of me.His chest filled with unease. Why would someone hel
