Shadows.

Morning came slowly, as the sun rose. Aria's eyes, heavy from sleepiness at night, were very evident as she stood on the balcony with a robe hanging loosely on her waist. That very voice she heard, the one from the phone didn't leave her mind.

Elias Monroe.

He wasn’t a myth. He wasn’t a ghost.

He was real.

And he was watching.

The door creaked open. Jerry entered, two mugs in hand.

“Didn’t sleep?” he asked gently.

She accepted the mug with a nod. “He called me.”

Jerry froze mid-sip. “Elias?”

She nodded. “Distorted voice. But I know it was him.”

He exhaled. “What did he say?”

“He wants me to stop digging. Said this could turn irreversible.”

Jerry paced to the edge of the balcony. “A threat. A warning. Or both.”

Aria sipped her coffee slowly. “He’s afraid. Not of me, but of exposure. If we’ve rattled him enough to reach out, we’re closer than we think.”

A knock on the door interrupted the quiet.

Isabelle entered, tablet in hand. “We have something.”

They gathered around as she

    The Heart of the Storm.Silence. The calm before something terrible.The fallout from Aria’s press conference had ignited every screen across the country. Major networks replayed her statements on loop, dissecting the footage of Regina and Elias with surgical precision. Public sympathy shifted like a tide finally changing course, and investors began crawling back with renewed interest, but Aria didn’t celebrate.She knew better.It wasn’t over.“Reports say Regina fled her penthouse in the early hours,” Grant noted, flipping through security logs as the team reconvened in the tower’s war room. “No flight records, no border activity. She’s gone underground.”Aria sat at the head of the table, her eyes laser-focused. “Then she’s waiting. Or being protected.”“By Elias?” Jerry asked.Isabelle tapped her tablet. “Most likely. But here’s the twist, Monroe hasn’t moved. He’s still using the same base of operations. No firewall upgrades, no server relocations. It’s almost as if… he wants us

    Ashes and Exposure.The morning arrived not with light, but with chaos.Jerry burst into Aria’s office, a grim look carved into his face. In his hand, a tablet, vibrating with alert after alert. News headlines blared across the screen.GRANT CORP SCANDAL: ILLEGAL PATENTS AND COVER-UPS EXPOSEDBREAKING: CEO ARIA CADEN LINKED TO DEFUNCT BLACK-MARKET TECH RINGAria, seated calmly moments ago, stood abruptly, her eyes widening in disbelief.“What the hell is this?”Jerry placed the device in her hand. “It dropped twenty minutes ago. Every news outlet is echoing it. And social media’s worse.”Isabelle charged in next, her phone to her ear. “I’m on with our PR team now. They’re already drafting a statement. But this is spreading fast, Aria. Really fast.”Aria scrolled, her expression shifting from shock to fury. The article included falsified emails, doctored invoices, even a manipulated voice message from her late father. A forged narrative implying Aria continued a secret operation of il

    Unmasking the Quiet.The night wrapped the tower in a quiet that wasn’t peaceful, it was expectant. The wind blows through narrow gaps while brushing the windows. Aria stood motionless in the dim corridor, her reflection barely visible in the glass. The flash drive dug into her palm. Her knuckles were pale from the grip.She took a breath that didn’t warm her lungs and stepped through the steel door.Screens glowed with lines of code and maps inside the control room as the lights were low but blue. Jerry turned from the console, his gaze steady but shadowed with the kind of exhaustion that didn’t come from lack of sleep, it came from knowing too much.“You saw the files?” he asked.Aria gave a small nod and walked forward. Her heels echoed, sharp and final, until she reached the center table. She dropped the flash drive onto the metal surface with a clink. Then she sat.“I did,” she said.Jerry waited. His fingers tapped once against the edge of the desk. Not impatience, something co

    False Echoes.The recording ended, its final words still echoing across the command room.“You’ll keep them busy, Helena. I’ll keep building from the shadows. And when they think it’s over,that’s when I’ll strike.”Aria stood, more like an ice, her breath shallow.Jerry leaned in. “It sounded like…”“Daniel,” Isabelle whispered.Philip shook his head, rewinding the audio. “The voice is distorted. Deepened artificially. Could be anyone.”“No,” Aria muttered, brows furrowed. “It’s too specific. The cadence... the inflection. It’s him.”“Aria,” Jerry said, placing a hand on her shoulder, “if it’s him, why now? Why not strike when he had the upper hand? Why wait until Helena fell?”Silence.Isabelle crossed her arms. “It could be a frame-up. Regina’s smart. She knew we’d find this.”Philip turned from his screen. “I ran the voice through our biometric filters. There’s a 58% match to Daniel, but also a 52% match to someone named Declan Voss—a known tech mimic and voice actor Helena hired

    Beneath the Surface.The city lights went on and off continuously beneath them like a restless heartbeat.Standing at the tower's edge, Aria folded her arms, her reflection evident on the glass. The recording, the voice, kept playing in her mind. Not Daniel’s voice. Not yet. That would come later. But the silence surrounding Helena’s last words. The secrets that still clung to every page, every letter, every calculated move.Jerry joined her, eyes scanning the skyline.“She’s gone,” he said. “But she didn’t vanish. Someone’s helping her.”“Regina.” Aria’s voice was certain.Jerry didn’t argue.“She walked in like she knew where we’d be,” Aria continued. “Knew what would be waiting. Helena left that message, but Regina burned it before we could finish deciphering it. That’s not loyalty. That’s orchestration.”“And now we have two enemies.”Aria shook her head. “No. We have more. We just haven't seen them yet.”~~*~~At the underground command center, Philip projected a map of every
