“So, I arranged for a legal representative for you. I have already sent him the files and everything,” Eric’s deep voice sounded clearly over the speakerphone. There was a protective edge to his tone. “His name is Nigel Stevenson,” Eric added.

Autumn stiffened instantly at his words, her breath hitching in her throat. ‘I hope it is another lawyer with that exact same name,’ she thought frantically to himself, her heart beginning to hammer against her ribs.

    “So, I arranged for a legal representative for you. I have already sent him the files and everything,” Eric’s deep voice sounded clearly over the speakerphone. There was a protective edge to his tone. “His name is Nigel Stevenson,” Eric added.Autumn stiffened instantly at his words, her breath hitching in her throat. ‘I hope it is another lawyer with that exact same name,’ she thought frantically to himself, her heart beginning to hammer against her ribs.“If you are done there, come straight to my office,” he added when she hadn't immediately replied to him.Nodding as if he could see her, she forced her voice to remain steady and replied, “Okay.”“He will meet you there,” Eric said firmly before hanging up the phone, leaving the car in a heavy silence.‘What on earth are the chances that he already knows I was at his firm earlier?’ Autumn thought, panic swirling in her chest. ‘If Nigel meets me face-to-face right now, he would obviously recognize me and report everything that happe

    "Are you sure this is the place?” Samuel asked, looking around nervously at the looming high gates of the Kingston estate.“Yeah, I am. This was the exact address she sent,” Leo said, looking down at his phone again where the GPS indicated their final destination.“Well, this is the exact place we picked her up last time,” Marcus said, shrugging his shoulders as he tried to maintain his composure.“I get that, but this place looks… I don’t know, incredibly expensive,” Samuel muttered. A sudden, uncomfortable thought crept into his mind. ‘What if what they said at the office about her being a mistress is actually true?’ He immediately shook his head to clear the thought. ‘No, if she were, she wouldn’t be here facing these accusations so fiercely.’“Well, standing out here won’t do anything. It’s best we see if it’s actually the place,” Leo said, stepping forward and moving toward the security gates to knock. “We just have to find out if she really lives here.”A big, burly security gua

    The boardroom remained silent. No one dared to speak. All eyes focused solely on Autumn. Before anyone could truly comprehend what had happened, Rosaria walked straight up to Autumn and landed a harsh slap on her cheek to hit her.Autumn's face angled to the side from the impact. She was momentarily stunned, as was everyone else within the boardroom. Before Rosaria could raise her hand to land another hit, someone who had already snapped out of the shock pulled her away before anything more could happen.“Get your hands off me!” Rosaria shrieked, still fighting aggressively in their hold. “Don’t you see this bitch just ruined the entire project for all of us?!”“Hitting her won’t do anything but get yourself into bigger trouble,” the man spoke gently to her. However, his gaze held pure disgust when looking over at Autumn. “We aren’t savages.”“Mrs. Martins, what is the meaning of this?” an executive asked, his hands folding tightly on the table.“Answer, you bitch, before I add anothe

    The day of the board meeting arrived. The directors from the Ministry arrived at the headquarters, and a host immediately ushered them into the grand conference room, where they were to hold the high-stakes meeting.“President Hayes, it’s so good to see you,” the Senior Director said, stepping forward and shaking Liam's outstretched hand.“Likewise,” Liam replied smoothly, gripping the older man's hand firmly.“I hope we are not imposing with this short-notice meeting. “The bosses above wanted to verify our handling of all errors from the previous brief and confirm that everything on your end is progressing well,” the Director stated.At his words, Autumn stiffened in her chair, instantly remembering the grueling issues they had faced in response to the data provided previously. Every single member of the presentation team stiffened as well, the memory of that narrow escape keeping them entirely on edge.“None of that will happen today.” Liam reassured them, “The previous error was a

    Sebastian looked at the screen in front of him with mild amusement. However, there was a hidden hint of genuine annoyance in his eyes as he stared at the glowing laptop. He saw it all; he saw who had gone in and who had gone out of the firm’s private server. It was a specialized back-end feature he had personally insisted on being added to the firm's security network for his own use alone.‘I did commission and design that back-door myself,’ he thought, a flicker of pride surfacing at his own technological ingenuity. But then, his smile faltered. The smug bravado left him as the sudden severity of the situation began to sink in. He stroked his chin in deep, troubled thought, his eyes tracking the digital footprints.He knew exactly what the back-end had disclosed. He saw which keycard was used to gain entry, who had authorized the clearance, and exactly who had gone in to see information that they absolutely should not have touched. Clenching his fist, he felt deeply perplexed by the

    ‘Why do those numbers look familiar?’ She mused to herself as she stared at them. She stared at the numbers written on the document, recognizing them as the same ones that showed evidence of the accounts through which the assets were transferred. ‘A foreign account,’ she mused thoughtfully to herself.The car stopped right in front of the Nexus Corp office building. She paid the cab and zoomed off to her office. “I need to check something,” she whispered to herself.“God, I hope it's not what I am suspecting,” she whispered again as she opened her office door and sat down. She switched on the computer and started typing furiously, never stopping for a moment. She had initially suspected it because the numbers looked familiar, but she knew it was too much of a coincidence to dismiss. In this line of work, you must scrutinize every link or coincidence before dismissing it as something else entirely.Autumn used her computer the moment she arrived at the office. She cross-checked somethi

    The car pulled up to the Seta by Antonio Guida, and we were led through the sleek, turquoise-accented halls of the hotel to Seta by Antonio Guida. Eric had reserved a private section, a secluded nook that felt worlds away from the bustling streets of Milan. The lighting was low, the air filled with

    "No, no, no!" the man shrieked, his voice hitting a pitch that probably had the neighborhood dogs howling. "Dear God, I am going to die of a heart attack from how unceremoniously ugly your taste is!" He began fanning himself dramatically with a silk-bound lookbook, his face twisted in a mask of the
