Davis’s POV"She’s here. I know she’s here."I slammed my shoulder against the glass door of the executive restroom, stumbling inside and locking the bolt behind me. The lights shined loudly, making the splitting headache behind my eyes throb with intensity.I turned to the sink, turning the cold water on full blast, scooping the freezing liquid into my face. My skin was burning, a low-grade fever clinging to me ever since the payroll disaster two days ago. My right chest felt like it was on fire, a deep, tearing agony that told me my body was fighting the transplant, but I couldn't stop. I couldn't go to the hospital. The media was watching every medical clinic in the city, waiting for the definitive sign that the CEO of Zenith was physically collapsing.I looked into the mirror, and wiped the water from my eyes.I froze.Standing right behind my reflection, dressed in black velvet gown from the auction, was Jessica. Her dark hair was down, her eyes freezing and hollow, her lips tw

Jessica’s POVThe heavy rain slammed against the glass windows of the Aria Initiative headquarters. It was late evening, and the executive floor was dark, save for the blue ambient glow of the main server mainframe where my logistics algorithms were finalizing their overnight data syncs.I stood by the console, my fingers moving around the keyboard, but my focus wasn't on the code.My tablet was open to the security feed of Marcus’s private estate. A few minutes ago, an automated alert had flagged a suspicious vehicle parked near the secondary perimeter gates, a black sports car with its headlights turned off."He’s losing his mind faster than I anticipated," Marcus’s deep voice vibrated through the quiet room as he walked up behind me. He laid his hands on my shoulders, his thumbs gently massaging the muscles near my neck, his physical presence instantly washing away the sudden chill in my veins."The private investigators I hired inside the Vance building said he discovered the DN

Jessica’s POVThe air-conditioned chill of the Aria Initiative boardroom was a stark contrast to the muggy morning humidity settling over the city outside. I stood at the head of the long glass table, my fingers tapping rhythmically against the edge of my tablet. On the digital display screen behind me, a series of encrypted code lines were flashing, red markers highlighting a sequence of unauthorized data requests."We have a security breach," I said, my voice cutting through the quiet murmurs of my newly appointed tech team.The engineers looked up, their faces pale. These were the men and women who had walked out of Davis’s crumbling empire less than forty-eight hours ago to join my ranks. I had given them double their previous salaries and a safe haven under the Luther Corp umbrella, but it seemed the ghost of Zenith Empire still had its claws in someone’s pocket."The internal file directory for the decentralized infrastructure was accessed from a dummy terminal in the lower dev

Jessica’s POVThe soft, ambient music of the Capital Club’s private lounge was designed to make multi-million-dollar betrayals feel elegant. High-backed velvet chairs were arranged around a mahogany conference table where five of the city’s most influential venture capitalists sat, their expressions guarded but deeply curious.At the front of the room, Valerie Vance stood beneath the projection screen, a smug, radiant smile on her face as she tapped her tablet."What you are looking at, gentlemen," Valerie announced, her voice dripping with an artificial confidence, "is the next evolution of decentralized logistics. A framework built entirely from the ground up by my private development firm, designed to bypass the traditional maritime tariffs that Luther Corp recently monopolized."On the screen, a massive, sweeping schematic of a logistics matrix illuminated. The investors leaned forward, their eyes widening as they scanned the pristine lines of code and the optimization margins.

Davis’s POVThe white walls of the emergency room didn't feel like a sanctuary; they felt like the interior of a shipping container designed to bury me alive.The harsh, mechanical hum of the dialysis machine beside my bed was the only sound in the small, private observation bay. Clear plastic tubes ran from my arm into the whirring console, filtering the toxins from my blood that my transplanted kidney was no longer strong enough to process. The red warning metrics on the heart monitor flickered steadily, a constant, digital count of how little time my body had left before the system permanently crashed.The curtain open, and my private physician stepped inside, holding a digital chart. His face was entirely grim, his eyes avoiding mine as he adjusted his glasses."The biopsy results just came back from the lab, Davis," the doctor said, his voice dropping to a quiet, professional whisper. "The acute rejection phase has reached stage four. The donor organ is completely necrotic. The
