Hundreds of miles away, Troy’s phone vibrated. He smiled the moment he saw the sender, it was his sister. He noticed she had sent a message and also an email.“Finally” He opened the message but it was only a short message.[I want you to go to DC Technologies. Show this email to the CEO. Do not open it.]His smile disappeared. This wasn’t like Claire, the message felt rushed and desperate.He immediately called her. The phone rang once, an automated voice answered.“The number you are trying to reach is currently switched off.”He frowned. He dialed again and again but still got the same response.His grip tightened around the phone. Their last conversation replayed inside his mind, Claire’s trembling voice.The way she kept insisting everything would be alright, something was not right.Without wasting another second, he grabbed his backpack and rushed out.Nearly thirty minutes later, the taxi stopped before the enormous building of DC Technologies.Troy slowly stepped out, his hea

*Returning to the Present*Damien sat behind his desk in complete silence.Without saying a word, he picked up the remote control resting on the coffee table and switched on the television mounted against the wall.The news channel was already covering the day’s biggest story.The anchorwoman looked directly into the camera.“Good afternoon. We begin with breaking developments surrounding JH Industries, a scandal that has shaken the nation’s business community.”Images from the press conference filled the screen.Edward standing confidently behind the podium, Claire being escorted onto the stage in handcuffs then the big screen showing footage of anonymous videos exposing Edward’s scheme.The anchor continued. “What began as a press conference intended to restore public confidence quickly descended into chaos after previously unseen video recordings were broadcast before hundreds of journalists and millions of viewers watching live.”Another clip showed Edward desperately pulling cabl

The moment Elena turned towards the direction of the voice, the minute her eyes laid upon him the tension she felt in her shoulders eased.It was Julian Valmont or rather Julian Valmont.Relief washed over her face.“Mr. Valmont.”A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips.“I told you before, you can call me Coltrane. No need for the formalities, I hope I am not interrupting something important.”“Nothing of great importance, just some pesty humans that only know how to ruin my day.”George gritted his teeth, his fingers balling into a fistJulian stopped beside Elena, placing himself subtly between her and George.The pleasant expression disappeared from his face as he turned toward George and Celeste, his eyes became icy.“Now, would one of you like to explain why you are harassing my business partner?”An uncomfortable silence settled over the parking lot.Even George, whose temper had nearly exploded moments earlier, found himself hesitating under Coltrane’s unwavering stare.

Julian’s car pulled into the circular driveway of one of the city’s most exclusive restaurants, a valet hurried over as the car engine turned off.Julian stepped out first before walking around to Elena’s side. He opened the passenger door.“After you.”“Thank you.”The two entered the restaurant together.Soft classical music drifted through the elegant dining hall. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow over polished marble floors, not many people were present inside. The people who were having dinner, their conversations remained hushed beneath the gentle clinking of wine glasses.A hostess greeted them with a polite smile.“Good evening, Mr. Valmont. Your table is ready.”Julian nodded his head. She led them toward the corner that overlooked the city skyline.Outside, several parking spaces away, Elena’s driver quietly parked his vehicle. He watched Julian and Elena disappear into the restaurant.“Sorry, madam. Mr. Carrington specifically ordered me to keep tabs on you and also to

The morning sunlight filtered gently through the curtains, Elena stirred in her sleep.A dull ache throbbed against her temples.“Ah! my head”She slowly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling for a few seconds before attempting to sit up.The moment she swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood, a wave of dizziness hit her.“Ouch” She staggered forward, quickly grabbing the edge of the bed for support before she could lose her balance. She shut her eyes tightly, waiting for the room to stop spinning.After several deep breaths, the dizziness eased.She began remembering what happened the previous night.The restaurant, Julian pouring her wine. The conversations she had with him.She vaguely remembered Bernard helping her out of a car.She could also remember being lifted into someone’s arms, her brows furrowed.“Damien?”The memory was hazy. She couldn’t tell whether it had really happened or if she had dreamt about it.She lowered her gaze, only then did she reali
