Barbra froze, her heart pounding as her eyes met Celine’s across the conference table.

The introductions continued, but she barely heard them. Mr. Gavin nudged her to begin. She swallowed hard, forcing a smile, and stood.

“Good morning, everyone,” she began, her voice steadier than she felt. “On behalf of xDragon Corporation, I’ll be presenting—”

Celine leaned forward. “Before you proceed, Miss Scott, could you clarify who approved the cost breakdown on page three?”

Barbra blinked, caught off guard. “That would be the finance division—”

Celine cut in. “You’re heading this project. I asked who in finance approved it. Names matter.”

Barbra hesitated. “Mr. Leonard. He oversees our budget projections.”

Celine nodded, taking notes. “And the projected delivery timeline - six months? That’s quite ambitious for your current workforce, isn’t it?”

Barbra felt heat rising in her cheeks. “We have additional contractors—”

“Which firm?” Celine pressed, her tone sharper now.

Barbra’s hand trembled

    Celine sat behind her glass desk, the skyline of the city glimmering faintly through the tall windows of her office. As the acting CEO of O’Neil Corporation, she commanded authority that extended far beyond the company’s walls. But beneath the surface of corporate control, her real mission moved quietly — a plan she'd carefully designed, one made to bring Brooks Enterprises to its knees.She leaned forward and opened a folder on her desktop titled Confidential – Brooks Enterprises. It was heavily encrypted, accessible only by her biometric ID. The moment it loaded, dozens of subfolders filled the screen — each one named with precision: Hidden Accounts, Internal Mails, Fraud Reports, Audits – Red Flagged.For months, Celine had gathered the pieces. Using her clearance as Media Manager before her promotion, she had infiltrated communication trails, extracted data from shared servers, and traced money movements across borders. Each document, each screenshot, each internal memo was o

  • Revenge: Rising Beyond the Tempest    Chapter 63: The Collision

    Barbra sat alone in the quiet living room, lost in her thoughts. It had been a week since the wedding — a week of celebration, laughter, and public appearances, but also a week of private unease. Tomorrow, she would resume work at xDragon Corporation, the New York City branch, where she held the position of Senior Manager. It was a role she had fought hard for, and one her father often praised her for.Her biggest dream was beginning to take shape. Soon, she believed, her father would make Adam, her new husband, the CEO of the company’s New York branch. It would mark the perfect union: love and business intertwined. Yet, deep inside her, an unsettling restlessness lingered.A knock at the door pulled her from her thoughts. She frowned slightly, checking the time. It was 3p.m. Maybe it was a food delivery, she thought, as she rose to her feet. But when she opened the door, she froze.Adam stood there, his expression weary and drawn. His suit was creased, and there was a hollowness i

  • Revenge: Rising Beyond the Tempest    Chapter 62: The Vow and the Vengeance

    The wedding day arrived with grandeur that seemed to silence the city itself. Every headline, every news broadcast, and every social feed glowed with the same story — "the union of two powerful families: the Brooks and the Scotts." It was an event of the year, the kind that drew billionaires, politicians, and celebrities from across the country. The hall was a sea of luxury — chandeliers glittering like constellations, violins humming soft tunes, and guests dressed in dazzling sophistication.Adam stood at the altar, poised in a tailored black tuxedo, the perfect image of power and control. Yet, beneath the practiced smile and firm posture, his mind churned restlessly. He was marrying Barbra Scott — the daughter of one of the wealthiest men in the United States and this alliance would secure not just his personal image but the survival of Brooks Enterprises. To the public, it was love; to him, it was strategy.Barbra, radiant in a flowing diamond-studded gown, walked down the ai

  • Revenge: Rising Beyond the Tempest    Chapter 61: Meeting with Bashiru

    Adam returned to Brooks Enterprises early that morning, determined to get things back under control. The tension in the air was heavy; the company’s stock had been falling steadily for weeks, and every attempt to stabilize it had failed. The board was anxious, investors restless, and rumors about internal mismanagement were already circulating online. Still, Adam walked into his office with the kind of forced confidence only desperation could build.An hour later, his secretary buzzed in. “Sir, there’s someone here to see you. Mr. Kelvin Benjamin.”Adam frowned slightly before nodding. “Send him in.”Moments later, Kelvin stepped in — sharply dressed, with tired eyes that still carried the sharpness of a man who believed in his own brilliance. “Adam,” he greeted warmly, extending a hand.“Kelvin,” Adam replied, shaking it. “Been a while.”Kelvin smiled faintly. “Yes. A long while. I heard what’s happening here and thought I should stop by. You need a solution, and I have one.”Adam

    Alex returned home from his business trip in Singapore to a warm reception that filled the mansion with life again. Melissa was the first to spot him entering through the front doors and ran to hug him, her excitement genuine. The grandmother, sitting in her chair near the window, smiled with deep affection when she saw her grandson walk in. Celine stood a few steps behind, calm and poised, her expression polite but measured.“Welcome back,” Melissa said brightly.“Good to be back,” Alex replied, smiling faintly. His gaze drifted toward Celine, who gave a small nod before helping the grandmother adjust her shawl. Something in her movements was different — gentler, more protective. It caught Alex’s attention, though he didn’t mention it.After a brief chat with his family, Alex went upstairs to freshen up. When he came down later, he asked the butler to call Celine to his study. Within minutes, she knocked lightly on the door and stepped in, her notebook and tablet in hand.“Plea
