Chapter 1 — The Case File

‎‎The office hummed around me, keyboard clicking, phone calls, whispering conversations stalked around the walls. Paper stakes on the desks, sticky notes clinging like confetti to computer monitor.‎‎It’s a new week, my eye got heavy after staring at screens for too long. The blue light paints my reflection across the monitor. ‎‎I took a sip of coffee while it's still hot. It’s bitter enough to make me flinch, but I drank it anyways.‎‎A folder icon reflects on my screen, another report from the financial forensics team. More data, more files that never lead anywhere. My fingers hovering over the keyboard, but the icons and digits blur altogether. I blink thrice, drag my hand down my face, and mutter, “Focus, you're almost done.”‎‎“Talking to yourself again?”‎‎Charlotte’s voice slices through the haze. I glance up to find her leaning against the partition, a paper cup of her own coffee in hand. She looks exactly how I wish I felt—composed, precise, her blonde hair tied back

Chapter 2 – The First Collision

Sleep and I stopped being friends a long time ago. The glow of my monitor is the only light left in the office, cold and steady, outlining stacks of files and empty coffee cups. Everyone else clocked out hours ago, but I’m still here—eyes dry, fingers tracing patterns across encrypted spreadsheets that refuse to give up their secrets.Vale Global Security’s accounts are a fortress. Every transaction feels… deliberate. Clean on the surface, but too smooth to be natural.I zoom in on a data cluster. “Come on,” I mutter, tapping a key. “Show me what you’re hiding.”A line of code blinks back, mocking me. My vision blurs for a second. I blink hard, rub my temples. The hum of the office feels heavier at this hour, the AC too cold, the silence too loud.I drag in a breath and lean back in my chair. “Five minutes,” I whisper. “Just five.”My phone buzzes. A message from Charlotte:“Any progress?”I type back, Still digging. He’s clean so far.Then, almost against my own will, I add, Too clea

Chapter 3 – The Perfect Opportunity

Three days.That’s how long I’ve lived on black coffee, half-charged devices, and adrenaline.The cyber-division hums around me, the low chorus of printers and murmured updates. My desk has become a war zone of open files, flash drives, and empty mugs. Every thread I pull on Damon Vale leads somewhere new—shell companies, private accounts, charitable donations that vanish mid-route.And now, finally, the map of his empire lies before me in all its deceptive symmetry.I lean closer to the screen, zooming in on the last transfer trail. Numbers flow like water—millions in development grants rerouted through Vale Global Security, then funneled into a consultancy that doesn’t exist.A fake company.A ghost account.Money gone without a trace.My pulse jumps.“Got you,” I whisper.The files are meticulous—encrypted layers, time-stamped signatures, everything designed to look legitimate. But the pattern repeats just enough to betray him.Charlotte’s voice breaks through the buzz of the offic

Chapter 4 – The Contract and the Night

The office had been a storm for weeks—files, leads, encrypted accounts, endless coffee cups. But today, the storm felt different. Today, I would step into the eye of it. Damon Vale waited in his private penthouse, tall, composed, the city lights stretching beneath him like a sea of stars. When he turned to me, his expression was unreadable—but the weight in his eyes matched mine. “So,” he said, voice low and precise, “about this… arrangement.” I perched on the edge of the leather chair, folder clutched in my lap, heart hammering against reason. “We’ve discussed it with Charlotte. Six months. Contract marriage. Legal, binding, but temporary. Just enough to stabilize your public image while I gather the necessary evidence.” He nodded slowly, gaze drifting to the skyline. “Six months. I can live with that. As long as we understand—strictly professional. Nothing beyond the contract.” I forced a tight nod, though my stomach twisted. “Understood.” The pause stretched, heavy wi
