Most of the files had been recovered.

But not all of them.

Five of the most critical files — the south wing blueprint, the main hall's material specifications, and the entire client progress documentation folder — were gone without a trace. The recycle bin was clean. The recovery software found no remaining fragments. Whoever had done this knew exactly how to erase something completely.

We didn't talk much about it.

There was no use mourning what was already lost. There was only one option left

    I stared at the phone screen for a long moment.How did Kevin know so quickly? My meeting with Mrs. Viviana had ended only a few minutes ago. Lara had just left the café. No one had even had time to spread the news.Yet Kevin already knew.I typed a reply, my fingers hesitating above the screen for a moment."Are you spying on me? How do you always know what's happening to me?"The reply came quickly, as always."Let's just say I have my own way of making sure you're okay."I frowned. An answer that didn't answer anything."That's creepy, Kevin.""Or caring. Depends on your point of view." There was a small laughing emoji at the end. "Now stop overthinking. Go home. You've worked hard today."I let out a sigh, but the corner of my lips lifted without me realizing it.Kevin was always like that. Mysterious, impossible to predict, coming and going like the wind. But somehow, in the middle of all the people trying to bring me down, his presence felt like the one safe place I could rely o

    The room felt frozen by Mrs. Viviana's ultimatum.Lara stood behind her with a smile she could barely conceal. I knew she was savoring every second of this.Ms. Brennan looked at Mrs. Viviana with a furrowed brow. "Mrs. Viviana, I think you're being too hasty in your judgment—""I'm not judging, Olivia. I'm deciding." Mrs. Viviana lifted her chin. "I've been in business long enough to know that reputation matters. And I don't want my company's name associated with a woman who abandons her own family."I drew a quiet breath.I could stay silent. Let Ms. Brennan handle this. But silence would only let Lara's accusations take deeper root."Mrs. Viviana." My voice was calm and clear. "May I ask you one thing?"The woman looked at me with a condescending gaze. "What?""You said family is everything. I agree." I held her gaze without blinking. "Which is why I'd like to ask — would you entrust a business decision this important to just one version of a story you heard from a third party?"Mr

    Reyna POVMorning came quickly.The first thing I did was send Cassius his gift.A simple watch, chosen carefully yesterday. Not extravagant, just something functional and durable — suited to a doctor who spent his life in hospitals. I wrote a small card, entrusted it to a courier along with the address Aldric had given me."For Cassius. Thank you for being there when I had no one. Come home soon, I want to meet you in person. — Reyna."I looked at the package for a moment before the courier took it away. A brother I'd never met, who had sent money when I was at my lowest, who Aldric said was always buried in his patients. Someday, I wanted to thank him face to face, not through a card.By midday, I arrived at the office.The atmosphere was different now. Whispers still lingered, but not as sharp as before. A few people even nodded as I passed — perhaps word had spread that the mansion project had finished on time.On my desk, Kevin's jacket sat neatly folded. Already clean. Before ge

    Arvan's POVIt's midnight, and I'm still awake. The phone rings, but I don't pick it up.I know for certain it's Lara.Tonight, I didn't go home to the apartment. I decided to stay at the house where Reyna and Kirana live.My phone rings just as I finish staring at the drawing on the wall of Kirana's room.I turn and see it's from Casper.A rush of impatience surges through me. I know he's calling to report the results of the investigation I assigned him."Got something?" I ask immediately, lifting the phone to my ear."Yes, sir." Casper's voice sounds careful. "I found CCTV footage from the night of the company party. From a traffic camera on the street where you... dropped off Madam Reyna and Miss Kirana."Something tightens in my chest. "Send it to me. Now."A few seconds later, the file arrives. I open it with fingers that aren't entirely steady.The footage is grainy, black and white, shot from a high angle. But clear enough.A car—my car—stops at the curb. The door opens. Two fi

    The villa was still quiet when I arrived.Mrs. Lin was sweeping the front terrace. She nodded warmly as I passed. I smiled back, then went straight to my room — changed clothes, washed my face, drank a full glass of water in three gulps.Only after that did I open my phone and type messages to Aldric and Damian."Aldric, come home early if you can. I want to take you somewhere today."To Damian: "Damian, don't stay out late tonight. I need a partner in crime."Damian's reply came within ten seconds."????? What's going on. Are you okay?""I'm fine. I want to go shopping. You in or not?""SHOPPING?? YES I'M IN YES I'M IN. When? Now?"I smiled reading his message. Damian and his endless energy.Aldric replied slower, brief as always. "All right. I'll try to wrap things up early."Two hours later, they arrived almost at the same time.Damian walked in quickly and immediately asked where we were going. Aldric followed behind, still in his work suit, hair slightly windblown."You don't nee

    Reyna POVEleven in the morning. I arrived back at the office.My body was tired, but my mind was clear. The confrontation with Lara and Arvan in front of the building earlier should have drained my energy. But strangely, I felt lighter. As if the words I'd held back for so long had finally found their way out.The team had already gathered in the meeting room when I came in. They'd changed clothes, looking far fresher than they had a few hours ago when they'd fallen asleep from exhaustion."Ms. Valeria." Sera stood up. "All the files have been double-checked. Complete and tidy. The presentation is ready.""Good." I set down my bag. "Let's go through it together one more time before we hand it over."We sat around the big screen. One by one, the files opened. Blueprints, renders, material specifications, client documentation. Everything in place. Everything perfect.Leon leaned back. "I can't believe we made it this far. Last night I was almost sure we'd fail.""But we didn't fail." I

    I shook my head hard.Impossible.That thought was too wild, too far from the reality I knew. Even though right now I was living in a luxurious villa and Aldric's car also looked expensive—he himself had said it—this villa wasn't his. That luxury car wasn't his either. All of it belonged to his bos

    Arvan's finger grip on my jaw felt strong.I couldn't turn away. Couldn't pull back. Could only stare at his blazing eyes from a distance that was far too close."How much have you gotten from that Ashford CEO?"Arvan's voice was low, his words spoken in a slow tone but the impact was more painful

    Mrs. Whitmore clasped both hands on the table. "I want an answer today," she said in a soft but clear tone. "Before we part." The silence in the room felt like a wall growing thicker. Ms. Brennan was the first to speak. "Ashford Corporation welcomes this proposal," she said flatly and profes

    In fifteen minutes, I moved quickly, stuffing my belongings into my bag. My laptop, presentation folders, and drawing tablet. My fingers trembled from a mix of exhaustion and adrenaline.Ms. Brennan was already standing at the doorway of her office with her work bag in hand, staring at me with that
