The noise outside Brooks Enterprises had grown into something beyond control.

It wasn’t just a protest anymore, it was rage, a raw storm of voices pounding against the building like thunder.

Adam stood by his office window, staring down at the chaos below, his reflection lost in the crowd’s fury.

“Fraud!”

“Pay us now!”

“Adam Brooks has failed!”

The chants tore through the air, their rhythm brutal and unforgiving. The front gates trembled under the pressure of hundreds of angry workers, their banners raised high, their faces twisted with frustration.

Security guards stood helplessly at the entrance, fear in their eyes, as the protesters pushed harder, shaking the gate like a trapped beast desperate to break free.

Inside the building, everything felt tense and uncertain. The hum of office machines was gone.

The silence from those who still sat at their desks was heavy — the kind that came when hope had already died.

Emma, Adam’s new assistant, stood close to the desk, her fingers sh

  • Revenge: Rising Beyond the Tempest    Chapter 83: The Stranger’s Offer

    The morning came heavy and grey, matching the weight in Adam Brooks’s chest. He barely slept, haunted by flashes of the protests, the headlines, and the faces of the workers shouting his name in anger. When he finally stepped into the boardroom of Brooks Enterprises, every eye in the room followed him.The atmosphere was tense, the kind of silence that made breathing feel like an intrusion. The long mahogany table gleamed under the light, surrounded by weary faces that had long lost their faith in him. Evelyn sat quietly at the far end of the table, her eyes tired, her worry obvious. When their gazes met, she gave him a faint, helpless look, but neither spoke.“Let’s begin,” said the chairman, clearing his throat. “We have a full agenda today. Primarily, the issue of the company’s leadership.”Adam’s stomach tightened. He knew what that meant. The vote. His removal. The same men who once praised him now waited to decide his fate.But before anyone could continue, the door opened.

    The noise outside had turned into something monstrous. The crowd of workers had completely taken over the courtyard, their chants shaking the walls of Brooks Enterprises like thunder. From his office window, Adam Brooks watched in silence, his reflection faint against the violent movement below.“Thieves!”“Pay us our money!”“Brooks Enterprises has failed us!”The shouts rose in waves, echoing through the glass corridors and down the stairways. Files were scattered on the floor, computers unplugged, and frightened employees huddled in corners whispering about leaving before things got worse.Security had already barricaded the main doors, but it was useless. The workers were furious, desperate, and no longer afraid. Some hurled stones at the glass panels, others pounded on the gates with wooden sticks.One of the guards rushed into Adam’s office, his uniform drenched in sweat. “Sir, we have to leave now. The crowd has broken through the second barrier.”Adam didn’t move. He sat beh

  • Revenge: Rising Beyond the Tempest    Chapter 81: The Unworthy CEO

    The television light flickered across Bashiru Adebayo’s rugged face as he sat quietly in his small office, the faint hum of the ceiling fan filling the silence. On the screen, reporters stood before the gates of Brooks Enterprises, narrating the chaos that had erupted. The images were clear; angry workers waving placards, shouting, pushing against security. The sight made Bashiru shake his head slowly.“How the mighty arrogant has fallen,” he muttered under his breath, leaning back in his chair. There was no pity in his tone, only a grim satisfaction.He had been following the story closely these past few weeks. The mighty Brooks Empire, once untouchable, was now collapsing in full view of the public. Every day the news carried a fresh headline about its debt, its protests, its broken image.But what truly held Bashiru’s attention wasn’t Adam Brooks or his dying company, it was Celine.It had been over a year since that night at the hotel, the night she had nearly lost her life.

  • Revenge: Rising Beyond the Tempest    Chapter 79: The Protest

    The tension in the air was thick enough to choke on as Adam Brooks walked into the headquarters of Brooks Enterprises that morning. Every corridor he passed seemed emptier than the last. The workers he used to greet with confidence now avoided his eyes, their faces stiff with quiet resentment. Even the guards at the entrance barely nodded. The empire his father built was crumbling right before his eyes, and the weight of it pressed down on him like a curse he couldn’t shake off.Inside the boardroom, Gabriel Hoods, the company’s CFO, was already waiting. His face told the whole story, drained, pale, beaten. He didn’t even stand when Adam entered. He just sighed and said, “It’s over, Adam. We’ve reached the end. Nothing left to pay the staff.”Those words hung in the room like smoke.Adam tried to find his voice. “Then cut down unnecessary expenses,” he said, forcing authority into his tone. But both men knew it was useless. There was nothing left to cut. The layoffs had already

    “A tiger runs ninety miles per hour,” Celine said, leaning back in her office chair, her tone calm but deliberate. The afternoon light from the tall glass windows washed over her face, highlighting the sharpness in her gaze. Across from her, Doris Odinaka, her assistant, sat with her phone tablet in hand, her eyes fixed on her boss with the mixture of awe and curiosity that always came when Celine began her cryptic analogies.“But the same tiger,” Celine continued, her voice dropping slightly, “can only go up to sixty miles per hour uphill.” She paused for effect, letting the numbers linger. “Yet, the tiger brings down the deer in less than an hour.”Doris blinked, her brow furrowed. She tried to grasp where Celine was heading. “That’s interesting,” she murmured, still unsure. “But… why is that, ma’am?”Celine’s lips curved into a faint smile, one that didn’t reach her eyes. She stood from her chair and walked slowly towards the large wall frame behind her desk — a magnificent phot
