LOGINThat night, while the entire city was fast asleep, an invisible storm began spreading through the students' communication networks.
Incessant incoming message notifications flooded dozens of campus group chats and messaging apps. Sofia set her plan into motion, using a secondary account.She uploaded the blurred photos into her year's group chat, the faculty group, and anonymous student discussion forums.The photos spread like a deadly plague.SofiJulian’s eyes glinted sharply. Without a word, he cast a cold side-glance at Leon, who was walking three steps behind them.Catching his master’s unspoken cue, Leon moved as fast as a shadow.Before the man in the jacket could make a run for it, Leon was already standing right in front of him, snatching the phone in one swift, fluid motion."W-What the hell is this?!" the man yelled, panicking and flustered.Leon stood tall, his broad, muscular frame completely blocking the man's path. An overwhelming air of intimidation radiated from him."You have two choices," Leon growled in a low, menacing voice, locking eyes with the man, who was starting to tremble."Delete that video recording yourself right now, or I'll crush this phone along with your fingers."The man’s face instantly drained of color. Cold sweat poured down his forehead. "I-I'm sorry! Please, forgive me! I was just messing around!"Wi
Elena lowered her head, staring down at their intertwined fingers. Faint tears began to pool in the corners of her beautiful eyes."I'm scared, Julian," she whispered, her voice trembling as she fought back the surge of emotion in her chest. "I'm so scared.""Scared of what? Am I not right here with you?""I'm scared for our future," Elena said softly, looking up at Julian with a hurt expression."Even if you and Victoria get officially divorced soon, this won't just go away. The campus gossip, the leaked photos, the public accusations, all of it is attached to me now."A single tear escaped and traced a line down Elena’s smooth cheek."People out there will never want to hear the truth, Julian," Elena continued, deep despair bleeding through her voice."From now on, our relationship will never be easy. Wherever I go, people will always point fingers at me as a cheap woman, a homewrecker who stole her own h
"A truth buried beneath a storm of lies is never truly extinguished. It simply bides its time to strike like lightning."Victoria’s face drained of color as she watched Julian’s utterly unfazed reaction. A faint, unsettling wave of dread suddenly crept into her chest.Yet, her pride quickly smothered the anxiety. "We’ll see about that the day after tomorrow!" she barked before spinning on her heel.BAM!Victoria slammed the penthouse door with violent force, shattering the quiet that hung over the vast room.Julian remained standing. A faint, cold smirk resurfaced on his lips. He reached into his trousers pocket, pulled out his phone, and dialed a number."Leon," Julian called calmly."Yes, Mr. Vance?""The vixen just left the penthouse," Julian said flatly. "Ensure Alvin’s team has finalized all the documents for our criminal lawsuit on Thursday. Show her no mercy.""Every
"Giving your enemy the illusion of victory is the best way to ensure they march toward ruin without ever looking back."The ticking of the wall clock echoed like war drums through the quiet, opulent penthouse.Julian stood tall, unmoving. His gaze was entirely composed, holding the depth of an ocean untouched by anger.He let Victoria circle him, basking in the heady, hollow scent of her own satisfaction.It never even crossed Julian’s mind to reveal the aces up his sleeve. The CCTV footage, the wire transfer records of bribes, the proof of embezzlement, all that lethal ammunition was locked tight in his legal team’s steel vault.Let Victoria feel on top of the world tonight. The surprise in the courtroom the day after tomorrow would taste so much sweeter if the victim was slammed down from the height of her euphoria."Turns out your tongue is still pretty sharp for a woman who was just released from the police station
An hour later, Victoria stepped inside Julian’s luxury penthouse in the city's golden triangle.She smiled cynically at the opulence of the room that she would soon claim as part of her divorce settlement. Yet, silence greeted her. The man she was looking for wasn't there.Victoria waited on the living room sofa. The wall clock ticked away until it struck eight at night. Julian still hadn't shown his face.Annoyance and impatience began to burn in Victoria's chest. She snatched up her phone and hissed in frustration.She dialed Leon. She was certain her husband's assistant knew where his boss was.The call connected."Leon! Where is Julian right now?!" Victoria snapped without preamble the moment the call was answered."Good evening, Ma'am," Leon replied from the other end in a calm, highly formal tone."I'm sorry, but Mr. Vance's whereabouts are confidential information that I cannot share with anyone
"Not just embezzlement," Julian continued coldly."Victoria used a shell account under her mother Beatrice's name to funnel those funds to prop up the Thorne Group's nearly bankrupt debts.She committed banking crimes, forged my signature on asset transfer documents, and engaged in money laundering."Alvin stroked his chin, his eyes flashing with deep admiration for the meticulous trap orchestrated by his client."Incredible. You purposely let these transactions slide over the past two years just to use them as your trump card?""I let her feel like she was winning," Julian replied with a devilish smirk."She thought I was clueless. Yet every single cent she stole was just another nail driven straight into her own coffin."Julian then tapped his finger against the table. "Now, what about the incident on campus this morning?"Leon immediately stepped in. "We've secured high-resolution CCTV footage
