“Turn that screen off now!”

William’s voice thundered through the dining room of the C-Legacy Tower penthouse. He slammed the remote onto the glass table so hard it skidded across the surface. The business news channel mounted on the wall still displayed the face of an anchor wearing a sensational smile.

“Casandra and William’s romantic relationship is suspected to be nothing more than a merger strategy to strengthen market position. Anonymous sources claim the two are no more than contractual

    “Move the London delegation to the east table, and tell Singapore I want their revised terms before noon.”Casandra’s voice carried across the grand ballroom of the Imperial Meridian Hotel as staff hurried in every direction. Crystal chandeliers glowed above a sea of white linen, gold accents, and floral arrangements flown in from three countries. Screens displayed the crest of C-Legacy beside the title of the evening’s event:Global Leadership Summit & C-Legacy Victory GalaLevia hurried beside her with a tablet. “Done. Also, the Zurich partners have arrived, New York is delayed, and the Minister wants five minutes alone with you.”“He can take three.”Levia smirked. “Still terrifying after victory.”Casandra paused near the stage, surveying the room like a queen inspecting a conquered province.The Morgan scandal had ended. Courts moved. Assets were seized. Former power brokers vanished into trials and disgrace. C-Legacy had absorbed the strongest remaining holdings and emerged larg

    “Release everything.”Casandra’s command struck the strategy room like thunder.Screens across the executive floor of C-Legacy Tower lit with encrypted folders, financial trails, board correspondence, offshore ledgers, and decades of concealed transactions. The evidence Bastian had handed over—once doubted, then verified piece by piece—was finally ready.Levia stood at the central console, fingers hovering above the launch sequence. “Once this goes out, there’s no reversing it.”“Good,” Casandra replied.William adjusted his cufflinks, calm in the way dangerous men often were. “Send it to regulators, shareholders, and every major financial outlet.”Levia swallowed. “All at once?”“All at once,” Casandra said. “If they drown, they drown publicly.”Within minutes, the city erupted.MORGAN HOLDINGS LINKED TO BRIBERY NETWORKSECRET ACCOUNTS EXPOSEDFORMER BOARD MEMBERS UNDER INVESTIGATIONCASANDRA DECLARES WAR ON OLD REGIMEPhones rang across the tower.

    “Say that again.”Casandra’s voice was calm, but the silence that followed it was sharp enough to cut through the executive boardroom.Across the long walnut table, a representative from Helios Capital adjusted his tie and repeated himself carefully.“We would like C-Legacy to lead our European market integration project.”No one in the room moved.Morning sunlight poured through the glass walls of the top floor, painting the skyline of Jakarta in gold. Yet all attention remained fixed on the woman seated at the head of the table.Casandra tapped a pen once against the folder before her.“You’re offering control?”“Regional operational authority,” the man replied. “Based initially in Zurich, with expansion hubs in Paris and Frankfurt. Twelve-month appointment. Full executive autonomy.”Levia nearly dropped her tablet.Several board members exchanged stunned glances.William, seated to Casandra’s right, remained unreadable.The representative continued. “Frankly, we requested you by na

    “Tell me why there is a woman in my lobby claiming she used to belong to you.”Casandra’s voice was cool enough to freeze steel as she stepped into William’s office without knocking. The glass door struck the wall behind her, making the assistants outside jump.William looked up from a stack of reports, brows lifting. “Good morning to you too.”She tossed a tablet onto his desk. On the screen was a live social media feed. Photos of a stunning woman in an ivory suit standing inside the grand lobby of C-Legacy Tower had already spread across the internet.Mystery Beauty Arrives — Calls Herself William’s Former FiancéeCorporate Romance in Trouble?Has Casandra Been Replaced?William’s expression darkened. “Who let the press in?”“That is what concerns you?” Casandra crossed her arms. “Not the woman announcing your history in public?”He stood at once. “I didn’t know she was here.”“Interesting answer. Not ‘she’s lying.’”Before he could reply, Levia rushed in, breathless.“She refuses t

    “Where the hell is she?”William’s voice thundered through the executive floor of C-Legacy Tower just after sunset. He strode out of Casandra’s empty office, phone clenched in one hand, fury sharpening every line of his face. Staff members lowered their heads and pretended to work harder.Levia emerged from the conference corridor carrying files. “Director Casandra left thirty minutes ago.”“With whom?”“She said it was a private meeting.”William stopped dead. “With whom, Levia?”“She didn’t say.”His jaw flexed. “You let her leave alone?”Levia’s expression tightened. “I don’t let Casandra do anything. Neither do you.”For one dangerous second, silence filled the hallway.Then William turned sharply and stabbed his phone screen.No answer.He called again.Still nothing.“Track her car,” he ordered.Levia crossed her arms. “She is not a package.”“She is walking into a city where people are trying to destroy her.”“And she knows that better than anyone.”William’s glare could have s

    “Why is the trading board bleeding red?”Casandra’s voice sliced through the executive floor before sunrise had fully broken over Jakarta. She strode into the operations center, heels striking the polished floor like warning shots. Screens lined the walls, flashing graphs, numbers, alerts, and market headlines.Every face in the room turned pale.Levia hurried toward her, tablet clutched tightly in both hands. “Our stock dropped eight percent in the first twenty minutes of pre-market movement.”William entered right behind Casandra, still fastening the cuff of his shirt. “Eight percent doesn’t happen from nerves. What happened?”Levia swallowed. “Someone leaked reports that C-Legacy has liquidity problems.”Casandra’s eyes narrowed. “False reports.”“Yes.”“Then correct them.”“We tried,” Levia said quickly. “But there’s more.”She turned the tablet.Several accounts payable records had vanished.Projected cash reserve sheets were corrupted.Two acquisition files had been deleted enti
