Too Late for Regret, Mr. Vale Chapter 16
I drove away from my chained office building with my hands shaking on the steering wheel, my mind spinning into a dark place. The image of the legal notices taped to the glass doors kept flashing behind my eyes, making it hard to focus on the road. I didn't know where else to go, so I drove straight to Isabella’s apartment complex, praying that she would finally answer her phone or at least open the door for me.When I reached her floor, I didn't even knock gently. I pounded my fist against the door until I heard the lock click from the inside.The door opened, and Isabella stood there, wearing a simple house dress. Her face didn't hold that sweet, welcoming expression she usually gave me. She looked annoyed, her eyes scanning my messy hair and wrinkled clothes with deep disapproval."Adrian, what are you doing here?" she asked, her voice sharp as she stood in the doorway, not moving to let me inside. "I told you I was busy this morning. Why were you pounding on my door like a madm

The morning air was cold as I walked through the glass doors of Jehanna Holdings. Elara was right beside me, holding a thick stack of folders against her chest. Every single person in the main lobby stopped what they were doing to watch us walk toward the private elevator. I could feel their eyes on my back, full of curiosity and doubt. They all knew my father had passed away, and they all knew I was a former police officer who had never spent a single day running a major business.When the elevator doors opened on the top floor, the hallway leading to the boardroom was completely silent."Are you ready, Ahtisa?" Elara asked, her voice dropping to a low whisper as we reached the double doors. "The entire board is already inside. They have been talking since eight this morning.""I am ready," I said, keeping my breathing steady. "Where is Mr. Harrison?""He is inside with the others," she said, checking her tablet. "Do you want me to call him out?""No, I will go in and speak to him

I barely slept a wink all night. By six in the morning, I was already in my car, driving down the empty streets toward my office building. My head was pounding, and my eyes felt hot from staring at my phone for hours, hoping for a message from the bank saying the glitch was fixed.When I turned the corner onto the main street where my firm stood, my heart dropped straight into my stomach.There was a crowd of my employees standing out on the pavement. None of them were inside. They were all gathered in small groups, whispering to each other and pointing at the main entrance.I slammed on my brakes, parked the car haphazardly by the side of the road, and threw the door open."What is going on here?" I shouted, pushing my way through the crowd of workers. "Why is everyone standing outside?"My main supervisor looked at me, his face pale. "Mr. Vale, we arrived twenty minutes ago, but we can't get in. Look at the doors."I stepped around him and stopped dead in my tracks. The large glass

The afternoon was slipping away, and I was back at my office desk, staring at a stack of new files. After Adrian left my room, the entire building felt quiet, but I knew the calm would not last very long.My phone buzzed on the desk, and I saw Elara’s name on the screen. I picked it up immediately."Ahtisa, you need to look at your computer right now," Elara said, her voice sounding tight and fast. "I was monitoring the internal mail system for Jehanna Holdings, and something very strange just popped up. An outside email address just sent a private message to Mr. Harrison, one of your father's oldest board members.""Who sent it?" I asked, leaning forward and opening my laptop."It is a private address, but the name attached to the account registration is Isabella Thorne," Elara explained. "I managed to intercept it before it reached Mr. Harrison's inbox. She is trying to leak a story about you."I clicked on the file Elara forwarded to me. My eyes scanned the lines of the email.I

The morning was a complete nightmare. I sat at my desk, staring at three letters that had just been delivered by a courier. They were formal legal notices from my top three suppliers, and the words on the paper made my stomach turn. They were demanding full payment of my outstanding debts by five o'clock this afternoon. If I didn't pay, they were going to freeze my shipping routes and take me to court.I picked up my phone and called Marcus for the tenth time. "Any news from the bank?" I demanded before he could even say hello."Nothing, Adrian," Marcus said, his voice shaking. "They are still running a security check on our accounts. The two hundred and fifty thousand dollars is completely stuck. We cannot move a single dollar out of the firm right now.""We need that cash today!" I shouted, slamming my hand on the desk. "If we don't pay the suppliers, they will shut us down by tonight. Do you understand what that means?""I know, Adrian, but my hands are tied," Marcus whispered.

"What do you mean it is not there?" I shouted into my phone, pacing across the living room floor. "A quarter of a million dollars does not just disappear from an account overnight, Marcus!"On the other end of the line, my finance manager sounded like he was sweating. "Adrian, I am looking at the system right now. The transfer went through on our end at ten last night. But the receiving bank says they never got it. There is no tracking number, no glitch report, nothing. It is like the money vanished into thin air.""Fix it!" I snapped, running my fingers through my messy hair. I hadn't even buttoned my shirt properly, and my jacket was thrown over the back of a chair. "That money needs to be in that account today. Find out where the error is and call me back!"I slammed the phone down on the table, my heart hammering against my ribs. That was a massive amount of cash, and losing it right now was a disaster.My mother was sitting at the dining table, completely rigid. She didn't lo
