The morning felt unusually quiet.

Johnson adjusted his tie in front of the hallway mirror before stepping out. The mansion, once alive with staff movement and quiet coordination, now echoed faintly with emptiness.

No housekeepers. No drivers waiting by the gate. No assistants calling in with urgent updates. The silence was heavy, almost accusing.

This house was the only property left untouched so far, and even that security felt temporary.

He picked up his briefcase and car keys, moving toward

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 78: "Where's My Husband?"

    Megan stepped out of the hospital entrance into the cool evening air. The automatic glass doors slid shut behind her with a soft mechanical sound, but inside her, everything was loud. Her head throbbed with numbers: surgery costs, medication expenses, consultation fees — figures that seemed impossible to reach.She inhaled deeply, trying to steady herself. The air outside felt different from the sterile hospital atmosphere. It was freer, but it did not calm her. Her mind was racing.She began walking toward Johnson’s car, the same sedan she had driven in panic that morning. The parking lot was dimly lit, shadows stretching across the ground. Her heels clicked faintly against the pavement.Just as she reached for the car door, headlights flashed sharply across her body.A black SUV rolled swiftly and deliberately to a stop right in front of her, cutting across her path. Megan flinched and froze instinctively, her heart jumping into her throat. For a second, fear paralyzed her.The e

    Martha let out a soft chuckle, the kind that carried warmth instead of judgment. She squeezed Megan's trembling hand gently, her grip firm and unhurried."Forget all that," she said calmly. "Right now, the only thing that matters is that you get better. And besides, your husband will need you now more than ever."The mention of Johnson shifted something inside Megan instantly. It was as if her body suddenly remembered the very reason it was here. Her eyes widened with panic, sharp and immediate. Without thinking, she jerked upright from the hospital bed. The movement was abrupt and reckless. The IV line tugged sharply against her wrist, pulling taut."Johnson," she breathed urgently.Before Martha could react, Megan pulled the needle out herself. The sting barely registered against everything else she was feeling. A small drop of blood formed slowly at the puncture site."Megan, stop!" Martha cried, reaching out to hold her back. "You just fainted!""I need to see my husband right n

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 76: What Remains

    "How long has your husband been experiencing chest pain?" the doctor asked, adjusting his glasses as he settled into the chair opposite Megan.The correction in his tone was subtle but clear. He was not asking about a single moment. He was asking about a pattern.Megan sat stiffly, her fingers tightly interlocked on her lap, her knuckles pale from the pressure. "Just this morning," she replied quickly, her voice thin with confusion. "Though… there have been many unprecedented setbacks in the company lately. He's been under enormous pressure. But he has never felt like this before. He's always been the strong one. He kept saying he would handle everything. That everything would be fine."The doctor nodded slowly, listening without interrupting, his expression carefully composed."He barely sleeps," Megan continued, her words tumbling out now as though a dam had quietly broken. "He stopped eating properly weeks ago. He would sit at his desk until two, three in the morning and wave me of

The silence was heavy, almost accusing.This house was the only property left untouched so far, and even that security felt temporary.He picked up his briefcase and car keys, moving toward the front door without speaking. Megan followed him outside, wrapping a light shawl around her shoulders. She had begun walking him out every morning since the staff were dismissed a week ago. There was no one else left to do it.Johnson stepped down the porch stairs slowly. The once perfectly maintained lawn now showed signs of neglect. They could no longer afford the gardeners.He reached the driveway, heading toward his car.Then it happened.A sharp, violent sensation struck his chest like

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 74: The Final Attempt

    The morning after the overseas deal collapsed, Johnson didn't sit in his office staring at the wall.He moved.If Nathan could close doors quietly, then he would open one aggressively.By noon, Johnson had requested a confidential meeting with Victor Hale, the CEO of Sterling Dynamics — one of Nathan’s long-standing business rivals. Hale had competed with Ainsley Group for infrastructure contracts across multiple regions. The rivalry was subtle but deep.The meeting was arranged discreetly at a private business lounge downtown.Hale arrived ten minutes late, confident, composed.“Johnson,” he greeted, taking his seat. “You look like a man under pressure.”Johnson did not deny it. “That's because pressure creates opportunity.”Hale gave a faint smile. “For who?”“For both of us,” Johnson replied. He slid a folder across the table.“Mills Corp has overextended in aggressive acquisitions. If Sterling and Dean Holdings align strategically, we can rebalance market influence. I still contro

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 73: Public Collapse

    The first televised debate about Dean Holdings aired on a Tuesday night.Johnson was still in his office when his assistant rushed in with a tablet. “Sir… you need to see this.”On the financial news channel, two analysts sat across from a host, charts displayed behind them.“At this rate,” one analyst said bluntly, pointing to the downward trend line, “Dean Holdings is heading toward insolvency within months.”The host nodded. “Would you say bankruptcy is a real possibility?”“It’s no longer speculation,” the analyst replied. “It’s probability.”Johnson muted the screen, his jaw tight.By morning, headlines had multiplied.IS DEAN HOLDINGS FINISHED?FROM EMPIRE TO EDGE.Media outlets replayed footage of Johnson from years ago, celebrating expansion milestones, contrasting it with recent stock performance charts plunging sharply downward.Employees whispered openly now. Investors flooded the company with inquiry emails. Share prices dropped again before noon.“Sir, journalists are req
