NICHOLE'S POV

As Logan stepped out of the room, there was a lingering thought in my heart.

Something didn't feel right. I stood there staring at the door he just walked through, and my mind kept going back to what just happened.

Just a few hours ago, I was so sure Logan was the one behind all this. I could have sworn it was him. The way he acted, the way he talked to me, everything about him screamed guilty. But now Gregory was the one caught red-handed.

What if Logan was smarter than I thought? What if he set Gregory up? What if they were working together and Gregory was just the fall guy?

I shook my head. No, the evidence was clear. Gregory's signature, his nephew, the bank transfers. But still, something in my gut told me this wasn't over.

"What's happening?" I asked myself out loud.

Adrian looked at me. "What do you mean?"

"I don't know. Something feels off."

Then my mind went to a different place. Gregory. Not Gregory the board member who just betrayed us. But Gregory my cousin.

    NICHOLE'S POV"It's about Gregory," I said, my voice barely above a whisper."What about him?" Aunt Sarah asked. I could hear the concern in her voice now. "Is he okay? Did something happen?"I took a deep breath. There was no easy way to say this. "Aunt Sarah, Gregory was arrested today. He was stealing money from the company."The line went quiet. So quiet I thought the call might have dropped."Aunt Sarah? Are you there?""I'm here," she said, her voice much smaller now. "What do you mean arrested? What do you mean stealing?""We found out he was working with his nephew Marcus. They created fake companies and stole almost four million dollars from us. They were using bad building materials that could have hurt people."Another long pause. Then I heard it - a soft crying sound from the other end of the line."Aunt Sarah?" I said, confused. I expected her to be shocked, maybe angry, maybe in denial. But she was just crying quietly."I'm so sorry, Nichole," she whispered between sobs.

    NICHOLE'S POVThe room went dead quiet after Adrian said that. Everyone just stared at each other. I could feel the tension in the air.Logan was still sitting there with his arms crossed, looking like he didn't care. But I saw Cynthia glance at Gregory real quick. Just for a second, but I caught it.Gregory was trying to look calm, but his hands were shaking a little. He kept gripping them together under the table.Adrian opened the folder slowly. The sound of papers moving seemed so loud in the quiet room. He started putting documents on the table one by one."Let me show you what we found," Adrian said. "Fake companies. Money going to the wrong places. Someone on the inside helped make this happen."He put another paper down. "Almost four million dollars went to a fake company called Premium Construction Solutions."I watched Gregory's face. He tried to look normal, but I saw him swallow hard."This wasn't some stranger doing this," Adrian continued. "This was someone we trusted. S

    NICHOLE’S POVI couldn’t sleep.Even though Adrian said he had everything under control, my heart wouldn’t stop racing. I lay in bed staring at the ceiling, my mind running through every possibility. Who on the board would betray us? Who could sit at that table with a smile, shake my hand, and stab the company in the back?Adrian hadn’t told me anything concrete. Not yet. But the tone of his voice in that last message said enough.“Everything is in motion.”That meant someone was about to fall—and hard.I got out of bed and made myself some tea. Mom was asleep, and the house was quiet. The kind of quiet that feels heavy, like the world is holding its breath.The maids offered to help me with it but I declined I wanted to do something that will calm my mind.After taking the tea I felt a little bit calm. Logan and Cynthia were my number one suspects and i hoped that by tomorrow they will be caught but something deep down told me that what if there was someone else behind all this.By m

    ADRIAN'S POVI left the cafe and drove straight to my office. I had promised Nichole I would handle the investigation, and I meant it. But I wasn't going to wait until Monday.I sat at my desk and pulled out my phone. There was only one person I trusted with something this important."Damien Cross," the voice answered on the second ring."It's Adrian. I need your help.""What's the situation?""Someone stole money from the Valmont empire, Made us buy fake building materials through shell companies. I need to know who."There was a pause. Damien and I had worked together before. He knew I didn't waste his time with small problems."How much money are we talking about?""Millions. And it's not just about the money. Someone inside helped them do it.""Inside The Valmont's company?""I think so. Maybe someone on the board.""That's serious. What do you need from me?""I need you to follow the money. Find out who set up the shell companies. Look at financial records, digital trails, vendor

    ADRIAN'S POVI had just finished signing the contracts when my phone rang. Three investors had agreed to fund my new hotel project in downtown. Sixty million dollars. Not bad for a Saturday morning.I was still sitting in my office, looking at the signed papers, when I saw Nichole's name on my phone screen."Good morning, Nichole," I said."Good morning, Adrian. How are you today?"Her voice sounded normal, but I could hear something underneath it. She was worried about something."I'm good. What's going on?""Can you meet me at The Garden Cafe? I need to talk to you about something."I didn't even think about it. "Of course. When?""As soon as you can get there.""I'll be there in fifteen minutes."After I hung up, I sat there for a moment. Nichole never called weekend meetings unless something was really wrong. And she sounded tense.I grabbed my jacket and headed to my car. On the way to the cafe, I kept thinking about her. She'd been different lately. More stressed, more careful a
