LOGINCharlotte POVI read the email three times before I allowed myself to believe it.The final review had been completed. There was no evidence linking me to the confidential-information leaks at Harbor House. My name had been cleared, and the findings would be added to the official record.I should have felt nothing but relief.Instead, I sat quietly at my desk, thinking about everything that had happened.For weeks, I had carried the weight of suspicion. Even when I knew I had done nothing wrong, there was no easy way to prove it. People had questioned my loyalty, and I had wondered how many of them believed I was capable of betraying the company.Now the review had confirmed what I had said from the beginning.I was innocent.I closed the email and rested my hands on the desk.It was over, at least as far as the investigation was concerned.But there was still Roza.Our relationship had never been simple. We had shared good moments, difficult moments, and a betrayal that neither of us
Roza POVThe email arrived shortly after nine in the morning.I was in my office reviewing the latest expansion figures when my assistant knocked and entered.“The international partners have responded,” she said, placing a printed copy of the message on my desk.I looked up immediately.“Have they made a decision?”“They want you to read it yourself.”I picked up the paper.The message was brief, but I read it carefully. The partners were willing to continue discussions about the expansion. However, their support would depend on an independent compliance review of Harbor House.They wanted an external team to examine our internal controls, information security, staff responsibilities, and the way confidential records were handled.Until the review was completed, certain expansion decisions would remain subject to approval.I leaned back in my chair.It was not the full agreement I had hoped for, but it was not a rejection either.For weeks, I had feared that the partners would walk a
Agatha POVI had always believed that people stayed when they had something to gain.It was how business worked. People supported you because they trusted your judgment, valued your connections, or believed your success could benefit them. I had built relationships that way, and for years, it had worked.But lately, those relationships were beginning to disappear.I sat in my office, reading through the latest messages from people who had once been quick to return my calls. Some had stopped responding altogether. Others sent polite replies that said nothing.I knew what had changed.The evidence against me was spreading.Adrian had given his statement. Harbor House had shared its findings with the international partners, and the questions I had hoped to avoid were now being asked openly.I still believed I could manage the situation.I picked up my phone and called Daniel, one of the few people who had supported me throughout the expansion discussions.He answered after several rings.
Adrian POVThe room was quieter than I expected.I sat across from two members of the investigation team, with my lawyer beside me. A recorder rested on the table, its red light reminding me that every word I said would become part of the official record.I had been asked to give a full statement about my involvement in the information leak at Harbor House.I had already admitted what I did. But this was different. This time, I had to explain how it happened, who was involved, and why I had made those choices.“Are you ready to begin?” one of the investigators asked.I nodded.He switched on the recorder.“Please state your name and your position at Harbor House.”I answered.Then the questions began.“How did Agatha Chow first approach you?”I looked down at my hands.“She contacted me after a meeting. She said she had noticed my work and believed I was capable of handling more responsibility.”“What did she offer you?”“A senior position. She also spoke about giving me the opportuni
Roza’s POVThe morning after I spoke with Soren, I returned to Harbor House with a clearer mind.For the first time in weeks, I was not walking into the office expecting another disaster. Agatha’s actions had been exposed, Adrian was facing the consequences of his choices, and Charlotte had been cleared of the suspicions surrounding her.Still, I knew the damage could not disappear overnight.Harbor House had lost some of the trust we had built with our international partners. No matter how unfair Agatha’s actions had been, I could not expect everyone to forget what happened simply because the truth had come out.I had to help the company earn that trust again.My assistant met me outside my office with a file in her hands.“The international liaison sent this early this morning,” she said. “They would like a meeting with you today.”I took the file from her.“Did they explain why?”“They said they want to discuss the next stage of the expansion.”I nodded and entered my office.The m
Roza’s POVThe consequences of Agatha’s actions finally began to show.After reviewing the evidence, the international partners learned how confidential information had left Harbor House and how Agatha had used it against us. Adrian’s admission, together with the records, supported our findings.Agatha could deny her role, but she could no longer control the story.Adrian faced formal disciplinary action, and our legal team began the necessary steps to deal with his misconduct. His access remained suspended while the process continued.I felt no joy about what was happening to him. He had made his choices, and he had to face them. But Agatha had also taken advantage of his position to harm Harbor House.Both of them had to answer for their actions.The international partners were not ready to trust us completely, but they agreed to continue discussions about the expansion. They wanted to see stronger security measures and proof that the same problem would not happen again.I understoo
