Jeffery paused just long enough for the silence to settle between them. "Tomorrow morning every newspaper, every television station, and every online platform will know exactly how you bought that seat with my money and power."The Assistant Director's eyes widened. His face lost all color in an instant. "Please... don't do this sir." His voice broke completely.His hands trembled as he reached out, then pulled back quickly.Jeffery stepped closer until only a short distance separated them. "You are worried about losing your badge." He let out a low chuckle. "You should be worried about losing everything else. Your properties, your accounts, your reputation, and your family. Once I decide to expose you, there won't be a place left for you to hide."The Assistant Director's knees weakened. He reached out instinctively, grabbing Jeffery's sleeve before quickly letting go as though he had crossed a line. "I'll handle it," he said hurriedly. "Just... give me a little time. I'll make sur

He was something much more dangerous. "Where is her phone?" Logan used the phone he was holding to search for Sophia's phone which had slipped away from her when Jeffery first welcomed her with a slap. He found it after minutes of searching. It had landed in between the poles that were parked at one side. "Give it to her." Logan passed the phone to Sophia. His hands moved slowly. He did not look at her face. Sophia took the phone with shaking fingers. The screen felt cold against her skin. She held it tight even though every part of her body hurt. "Unlock it and listen carefully to my instructions. If you cooperate well, you will earn your life back but if you don't, you will die on this spot. Reveal everything I mentioned earlier without feeling remorseful." Sophia swallowed. Her throat hurt. She nodded slowly. "I... I'll do it." Jeffery gestured toward another room. They walked into a large empty section of the building. A worn trampoline sat in the middle, surro

Silence answered him for several seconds.Then the agent finally spoke."She's dead, sir."Robert froze beside the car. "What?"His voice came out much louder than he intended. Several pedestrians walking along the roadside turned to stare at him before continuing on their way.Robert lowered his voice immediately. "Where are you?""At an abandoned construction site about thirty-five minutes outside the city." Robert's expression darkened."Don't move anything, I'm on my way." He ordered.He ended the call without waiting for another reply.His hand remained resting on the car door for several seconds. Sophia...the woman who had confessed to everything before more than half a billion people only hours ago was now dead.He climbed into the driver's seat and started the engine.Traffic had already begun building across the city, but Robert ignored every delay. His thoughts kept returning to the bruises he had seen during the livestream.Something about her confession had never felt ri

Grayson came in."Hey guys this is no time to be arguing," Grayson said as he walked in.Clara's eyes widened. She took a small step back. "Chairman?"A faint smile crossed Grayson's face."It's good hearing your voice again, Mrs. Rothwell." "Please..." Clara interrupted gently. "Don't call me that anymore. Just call me Clara." Grayson nodded. "If that's what you want."He pulled a chair closer before sitting beside the unconscious Jeffery."Now that we're all here, we need to think about what that man is going to do next," Grayson said. He looked at each of them one after another before resting his eyes on Logan. "The FBI case has shaken things. Sophia's confession shifted the world's attention away from him, and now that she's dead, he'll move quickly to regain control before anyone can connect the dots."He clasped his hands together. "The company has already taken a hit. He'll need time to rebuild his image, regain the trust of the public and the board of directors, bury every

Adrian face stripped of every emotion."Jeffery still believes you've lost your memory, and all I have to do is return you to him with the truth. He'll finish the job himself.""Not until you finish with me first." Clara held his gaze without looking away. "You've searched me, tied me up and brought me here, so you already know I can't escape. I'm not your hostage, Adrian. You want something from me, which means you're here to negotiate."Adrian remained silent for a while. His eyes stayed on Clara before he finally turned his head slightly."Cole.""Yes, Boss.""Untie her."Cole walked onto the glass and loosened the ropes around Clara's wrists. She rubbed both wrists slowly before getting to her feet, careful not to look down at the sharks still circling beneath the glass."You should've been gentler with the ropes." Clara rolled her wrists again before taking a step forward."Stop." Adrian's voice echoed across the room. "Stay exactly where you are."Clara stopped walking and fold
