Too Late for Regret, Mr. Vale Chapter 40
The first five days as the official chairperson of Jehanna Holdings went by in a blur of endless meetings and paperwork. Ahtisa spent her mornings in the executive wing, sitting down with the heads of every department to review the winter schedules. With Elara’s help, she completely overhauled the internal security system, revamping the digital access codes so that no single harbor master could ever sell their shipping data again.By Friday afternoon, the chaotic rush of the transition finally began to quiet down. The secretaries had gone home for the weekend, leaving the long corridors of the top floor completely silent. Ahtisa stood in the hallway, looking at the dark wooden door at the very end of the hall. It was Adrian’s old office, a room she hadn't stepped into since the day he was kicked out of the building.She turned the handle and pushed the door open, stepping inside. The air felt stale and cold. Adrian had left in such a hurry that his presence still lingered everywher

Elara laughed as she set down a large tray of food in the center of the dining table. The room was quiet, filled only with the soft sounds of music playing from a small speaker in the corner. For the first time in months, the curtains were left wide open, showing the gentle lights of the gardens outside."I still can't believe we are just sitting here eating dinner like nothing happened," Elara said, pouring some water into Victor’s glass. "Yesterday at this time, I thought we were going to lose the entire southern port.""We had a good plan," Victor said, his usual serious face softening into a small smile. He looked over at Lucien. "And the harbor police did their job quickly. Vanguard won't be recovering from this."Lucien nodded, leaning back in his chair. He had rolled up the sleeves of his dark shirt, looking much more relaxed than he ever did in the office. "They are already looking for buyers for their remaining assets. The board wants to resolve their debts before the end of

Ahtisa walked slowly down the quiet corridor of the executive floor, her heels tapping softly against the carpeted floor. Elara kept pace beside her, carrying a neat stack of folders containing the final signed declarations from the port authority."They have been gathered in there for over twenty minutes," Elara said, her voice low as they neared the massive double doors of the boardroom. "Mr. Henderson called my desk twice while you were on the way up. He sounded like he was running out of air.""Let him worry a little longer," Ahtisa said, her expression perfectly calm. "It is good for them to remember what it feels like to wait on a Jehanna."Before they reached the door, Lucien stepped out from the side alcove where he had been waiting. He looked at Ahtisa, his dark eyes taking in her steady posture and the quiet confidence in her eyes. He did not offer any empty words of comfort, because he knew she did not need them."The press is already calling the front desk," Lucien said,

The next morning, the financial television channels were in absolute chaos. Bright red breaking news banners flashed across the screen while news anchors spoke in rushed, excited tones. Live helicopter footage showed police cars parked outside Vanguard Shipping’s downtown headquarters, with officers escorting their top executives out of the front doors in handcuffs."We are witnessing the complete collapse of one of the city's largest shipping giants," the television reporter announced, gesturing to the crowd of journalists outside the building. "Following a late-night sabotage attempt at the southern harbor, authorities have arrested Vanguard's chief executive and key board members. The evidence, which reportedly includes live video recordings and a full confession from a harbor master, has sent Vanguard’s stock into a free fall. Trading has been suspended, and the firm is facing total liquidation."Elara stood by my desk, a massive smile on her face as she watched the screen. "Ahti

The tiny surveillance room was almost entirely dark, lit only by the cold blue glow of four wall-mounted monitors. It was a cramped space tucked inside an old, abandoned watchtower on the edge of the southern harbor cliffs, giving us a perfect view of the water bottleneck below. Outside, a light drizzle tapped against the glass windows, but inside, the only sound was the quiet hum of Victor’s recording equipment."The decoy vessel just passed the secondary lighthouse," Lucien said, his voice a low murmur as he leaned closer to the main screen. He sat on a small metal chair right next to mine, his shoulder brushing mine in the tight space. "She is running right on schedule, Ahtisa.""Are Victor’s men fully in position?" I asked, my hands locked tightly in my lap to keep them from shaking. "They didn't leave any signs on the deck, did they?""Victor has ten of his best security guards hidden below the engine hatch," Lucien assured me, turning his head to look at me in the dim light. "

The light inside my private office was dim as the afternoon started to fade, casting long shadows across the paperwork on my desk. Elara stood by the window, her phone pressed tightly to her ear, her face pale as she listened to someone on the other end. I sat perfectly still, holding a warm cup of tea that I hadn't tasted, waiting for her to hang up."Are you absolutely sure?" Elara asked the phone, her voice dropping into a tense whisper. She paused, listening for another few seconds before nodding. "Alright. Send the digital log to Ahtisa’s private drive right now. Do not let anyone else see that you pulled it."She ended the call and turned to me, her fingers trembling slightly as she set the device down on the desk. "Victor was right, Ahtisa. It’s Thomas. The digital harbor master logs just updated. He pulled the complete maintenance and fuel route files for the Jehanna Dawn less than twenty minutes ago."Thomas was the senior harbor master Adrian had personally pushed the boar

The news of Adrian’s business collapse traveled fast, hitting the city news stands by the middle of the afternoon. When I returned to the mansion later that evening, the entire house felt strangely cold and empty. The usual loud noise of the television was gone, and none of the servants were walki

Ahtisa’s Pov"Get out.”Adrian blinked, clearly not expecting it. "What did you just say to me?”I pushed his files in his hands."I said get out,” I repeated, calmly. "This is my case. I will handle it.”I turned to leave but then his voice rose. "Ahtisa, don't be difficult”I stopped. "And don't

Ahtisa’s PovMy eyes snapped open. Air rushed into my lungs like my head had been inside water for a long time.My chest rose sharply as if my body had forgotten how to breathe.My fingers curled against the cold surface, nails pressing into the wood.Wait, I was sitting. I wasn't lying on the floo

Ahtisa’s PovAdrian's hands were buried in another woman's hair. The woman's back arched into him with an ease that says she had been there before.For a moment, I forgot how to breathe.“Adrian…”Adrian turned and his expression hardened the moment he saw me."... Ahtisa?” He said, moving away fro
