The resignations arrived by Thursday.

The two of them.

submitted their letters within forty-eight hours of the board meeting, which told me about how guilty they were.

Innocent men fight.

Mr. Walter brought the letters to my office personally, placing them on my desk.

"Both of them," he said simply.

    ‎The rain had finally stopped.‎Morning sunlight filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Vivian's office, but the atmosphere inside remained heavy.‎‎walter pinned another map to the investigation board while Priya arranged several photographs beneath it.‎‎Hospital records.‎Project Phoenix.‎The wolf mark‎Helen Brooks.‎Every clue seemed connected yet none of them revealed the whole picture.‎‎Vivian stood quietly, studying the board.‎"If Project Phoenix started twenty-six years ago...,"‎"...then Sandra's disappearance is only one chapter of a much older story."‎‎walter nodded. ‎"Exactly.And somebody has been cleaning up evidence for decades."‎‎As they were conversing, a knock interrupted them.‎Maria stepped inside.‎‎"Miss Vivian."‎‎"Mr. Raymond is here."‎‎walter exchanged a knowing look with Priya.‎"He certainly likes this office."‎‎Vivian shot him a warning glance.‎"We're working."‎‎walter raised both hands innocently.‎"I'm only observing"‎‎Michael

    ‎Vivian hadn't slept at all.‎The events of the warehouse constantly replayed in her mind every time she closed her eyes.‎The explosion.‎The burning debris.‎Michael refusing to let go of her hand.‎She rubbed her temples and stared at the pile of files covering her desk. None of them held the answers she needed.‎A soft knock sounded on the office door.‎Maria stepped inside.‎‎"Miss Vivian."‎‎"What is it?"‎‎"Mr. Raymond is here."‎‎Vivian looked up sharply.‎"Michael?"‎‎Maria nodded.‎"He insists on seeing you."‎‎Vivian frowned at the request.‎"What does he want now?"‎‎"He didnt say."‎‎She leaned back in her chair and sighed.‎"Let him in."‎‎A few seconds later, Michael walked into the office. He looked exhausted. His usually perfect suit was wrinkled, and dark circles rested beneath his eyes. Neither of them spoke immediately. They simply stared at each other. ‎‎Finally, Vivian broke the silence.‎"I thought you preferred sending bodyguards instead of coming yo

  • The revenge of the fallen heiress    buried truth

    ‎The Raymond Mansion had never felt this cold. Michael parked his car in the driveway and sat behind the wheel for several minutes. The words from the burned document echoed in his mind.‎‎Bloodline Replacement Protocol.‎Twenty-six years ago.‎The warehouse.‎The explosion.‎The warning call.‎None of it made any sense anymore.‎‎But one thing, however, was becoming painfully clear.‎‎Someone inside his family knew far more than they admitted. Michael stepped out of the car and entered the mansion.‎The butler greeted him with a respectful bow.‎‎"Welcome home, Young Master."‎‎"Where is Grandfather?"‎‎"In the study, sir."‎‎Michael didn't bother removing his coat.‎He walked straight toward the old wooden doors.‎Before he could knock, he heard voices coming from the inside.‎‎"...he's asking too many questions."‎The voice belonged to his grandfather.‎‎Another older man replied,‎"He was always going to find out."‎‎Michael's hand froze on the doorknob.‎"Find what out

  • The revenge of the fallen heiress    something from the past

    ‎The silence inside the penthouse was almost unbearable. No one spoke from the moment Vivian stepped through the front door. Maria quietly helped her out of the soot-stained coat before disappearing into the kitchen to prepare hot tea. Walter remained near the balcony, his phone pressed against his ear as he issued one order after another.‎‎"Double the security."‎"No one enters this building without my approval."‎"And find Helen Brooks."‎"I don't care how."‎‎He ended the call and looked toward Vivian. She stood motionless before the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the city lights. From the outside, she looked calm but on the inside...,‎She was anything but. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the collapsing warehouse. Michael's hand reaching for hers.‎‎His voice. "I'm not losing you too."‎The words refused to leave her mind. She wrapped her arms around herself, trying to chase away a chill that had nothing to do with the night air.‎‎Maria walked over, placing a st

  • The revenge of the fallen heiress    the witness who vanished

    ‎The drive back to the city was very quiet,which was kind of uncomfortable .Raindrops drummed steadily against the car, washing away the soot that still clung to the car. No one spoke. Maria who sat next to me stole worried glances every few seconds. ‎‎walter drove forward. One hand on the steering wheel and the other on the evidence bag containing the scorched document, the only evidence we had managed to save. But it wasn't enough. Not even close. My phone vibrated. ‎‎Priya.‎‎I answered immediately. ‎"Talk to me. ‎Where are you? ‎On my way back." ‎‎Her voice sounded unusually tense.‎"I just got to the safe house." ‎‎My heart sank.‎"Helen?" ‎‎"Gone." ‎‎"I know." ‎‎There was a brief pause before she continued. "They didn't just kidnap her. They cleaned out the place." ‎‎"What? What do you mean by that?" ‎‎"They cleaned every single fingerprint. They took the security cameras and they even removed the DVR." ‎‎Professionals. The same people who erased Sandra's

    ‎00:00:03...‎The ground beneath our feet began to tremble violently.‎‎"Move. Get out of here!" Walter roared in desperation. Michael tightly gripped my hand as we maneuvered our way through the crusty and narrow maintenance corridor.‎‎The walls of the building violently shook from the impact of the explosives, raining debris down on us. As we ran, Maria tripped and stumbled over a loose metal pipe.‎‎"Maria!" I screamed but before she could hit the ground, Walter caught her by the hand and pulled her back up. "Don't stop," he barked. "We have to keep moving forward." After a few more seconds of running, the exit finally came into view. Slivers of daylight seeped through the cracks in the rusted emergency door. ‎‎00:00:02...‎‎Micheal tried slamming his shoulder into the door but it didn't budge. "Damn it!" he said gritting his teeth. Seeing this, Walter rushed forward and also leaned on the door. ‎‎"Let's try again." Michael nodded and both men slammed their shoulders into

  • The revenge of the fallen heiress    Another breathe

    The darkness was not empty.That was the first thing I noticed — that the place I was seeing was not simply nothing. It had weight to it, a kind of thickness, like standing at the bottom of a very deep pool and looking up at the surface of the water far above you. I could see light up there,very

    I was still lost in thought when the car stopped. I snapped back to reality and discovered we had arrived at the lake. Michael pulled over . Returning to the scene of the incident, a flood of emotions hit me. My heart was utterly broken, as I walked past the water that day. I remembered how I had

    I glared at him with disdain. Did he remember what I said when I called him? I was asking for help. Why didn't he come to rescue me?
