“You may begin, Mr. Keith. My apologies for keeping you waiting,” Victor said with a faint smile.Fifteen minutes had passed without a single person voicing any objection to Victor’s decision. In the man’s eyes, those who had spoken so loudly earlier were nothing more than cowards. They were only brave enough to attack from within a crowd, but not brave enough to stand by their opinions when asked to speak openly.“Very well, Mr. Victor.”Keith Sullivan appeared to let out a relieved breath before rising from his seat. The man, who looked to be around fifty years old, was one of the senior partners of an independent audit firm that had long been known for its excellent reputation in the business world. Over the years, his team had handled audits for multinational corporations, family conglomerates, and several large publicly traded companies.They were not a team that could be easily influenced. And that was why Victor had chosen them. Not because they had a prestigious name, but beca

“Thank you for coming to see me.”The woman looked slightly relieved to hear those words. “I just felt that someone needed to know about this.”“I’ll look into it further.”The woman nodded before finally leaving the room. As soon as the door closed, Tara let out a long breath and slowly massaged her temples.After the woman from the finance division left the room, Tara did not immediately reopen the folder she had just received. She sat in silence for several moments, allowing various possibilities to turn over in her mind. Her eyes remained fixed on the stack of documents. Too many questions had arisen from just a few pages.And what troubled her most was the fact that the transaction pattern stretched far into the past, as though it had become part of a system that had been operating for so long it had nearly become invisible.And... besides the person who had signed these documents, there was one other individual who had shocked Tara. No. Not just shocked her, but left her utterly

“Where am I?”Consciousness returned slowly.At first, there was only a bright white light that felt blinding, even though her eyelids were still too heavy to open fully. The light filtered through her thin eyelids, making Tara frown unconsciously. A few seconds later, a familiar antiseptic scent began to fill her senses. The unmistakable smell of a hospital.Then another sound followed—the steady beeping of a monitor, soft, repetitive, and reassuringly stable.Tara drew a slow breath. Her throat felt slightly dry. Her head was heavy, as though she had just awakened from a very long sleep. But before her mind could remember anything, her body reacted first.Her hand moved to her stomach. Instinctive, quick, and panicked. A mother’s instinct overpowered the parts of her consciousness that had yet to fully recover.Her fingers pressed lightly against the hospital blanket covering her body. When she failed to find the pa

Adrian fell silent.“Do you know what my condition was like back then?”For the first time since the conversation had begun, no immediate rebuttal came from him. Not because he lacked an answer, but because he remembered it clearly.The night Tara had been rushed to the hospital due to exhaustion she had continued to ignore.Adrian had forced Tara to clean up the mess Kara had unintentionally created. He knew how she had continued working on her laptop even while an IV was still attached to her hand. There had been stacks of documents that Tara completed in order to save a project that was on the verge of falling apart.At the time, he had not cared much about what happened to Tara. Because he had already promised Kara a vacation abroad. And their departure schedule could no longer be postponed.“You’re deliberately bringing up the past?” Adrian’s voice sounded lower than before.Tara simply looked at him.“Then what are you do

The room finally fell silent again after Adrian left.There were no more arguments making her head throb even worse. No more pressure for her to hand over oversight of the audit to someone else. Only the steady beeping of the monitor and the occasional footsteps of nurses passing through the corridor outside. The sky beyond the window had begun to darken, a sign that the evening was growing late.Tara let out a long breath.Her body still felt exhausted. Even something as simple as lifting her hand felt far heavier than usual. But at least now she could think a little more calmly.Even so, she still remembered Adrian's last words. “How can he say something like that so easily? Is there really nothing else he can think about besides what benefits him?”Tara rubbed her face slowly. “How stupid of me! Why did I ever love him so much?”For quite a while, she simply stared around the spacious room dominated by white. It was unmistakably a hospital room. And Tara used that to calm herself.
