Luca had barely settled into his seat when Olivia stood up from her chair.

She tapped her cutlery gently against her wine glass. The sound rang out clean and the room went quiet straight away. That was the effect Olivia had on people. She never needed to raise her voice. She just needed to stand.

“Father and Mother will be arriving a little late tonight,” she said, looking around the table. “I know some of you have questions and I believe I have already answered them.”

There was a quiet murmur

    *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

    When they got inside Damien’s office, Jules gestured toward one of the leather chairs in the room.“Have a seat.”Troy sat carefully on the edge of the chair, his backpack resting at his feet. The luxurious office made him feel completely out of place.Damien remained seated behind his massive desk, his expression unreadable. Without taking his eyes off Troy, he spoke calmly.“Jules.”Jules understood immediately. He walked to the side cabinet, poured a glass of cold water, and placed it before Troy.“You look like you need this.”“Thank you,” Troy murmured before taking a cautious sip.The office felt unnervingly quiet coupled with the ticking of the wall clock which suddenly sounded unusually loud. Troy couldn’t bring himself to meet Damien’s eyes. The man’s mere presence was intimidating enough without him saying a single word.Jules finally broke the silence. “You said your sister instructed you to show an email to my boss.”“Yes.” Troy answered almost immediately.“Give me your p

    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

    The black sedan moved smoothly through the city streets.Claire sat quietly in the back seat beside her younger brother, neither of them spoke. Her mind was filled with questions.Who exactly had sent for her?Where were they going?Why had someone with enough influence to secure her release wanted to meet her?The silence was finally broken by her brother.His eyes widened as he looked through the tinted window. “Sis…”Claire turned. “What is it?”He pointed ahead with trembling fingers. “I know this place.”Claire followed his gaze.A towering skyscraper came into view, its glass exterior reflecting the afternoon sunlight.At the very top of the building gleamed bold silver letters. ‘DC Technologies’Troy’s mouth slowly fell open. “This … ” He looked at Claire. “ This is the building I came to two days ago.”Claire’s heartbeat quickened before she could ask another question, the sedan slowed into the underground parking garage.The security barrier was lifted automatically. The guard

    Earlier, while Agent Hayes had left with the arrest team to apprehend Edward Sterling.Claire sat alone inside the Interrogation Room. She leaned back against the chair and let out a long, exhausted sigh.The events of the day replayed over and over in her mind. Only hours ago, she had believed her life was over. She had accepted that she would go to prison for crimes she had never committed.Yet everything had changed in the blink of an eye. She still couldn’t believe it.The press conference. Edward’s mask finally falling before the entire nation and him collapsing on the stage.For the first time in days, Claire felt as though she could breathe again.The door opened. Agent Hayes’ partner, Agent Spencer, stepped inside carrying a transparent evidence bag.Inside was her cellphone.“As instructed by Agent Hayes,” Spencer said, placing the bag on the table. “You may make one phone call.”Claire managed a grateful smile. “Thank you.”Spencer opened the evidence bag and handed her the

    The vehicles pulled into the underground parking garage of the Financial Crimes Division Headquarters.Edward was escorted out of the vehicle, his hands still restrained in front of him.The flashes of cameras from outside were gone, the silence inside the headquarters felt far more intimidating.Two agents led him down a long corridor before stopping outside an interrogation room. The metal door swung open.“Please have a seat.”Edward sat down without saying a word.Moments later, Agent Daniel Hayes entered carrying a thick case file. He placed it on the table before taking his seat. The digital recorder was switched on.“For the record, state your full name.”Edward leaned back in his chair.When he didn’t get any response. Agent Hayes continued anyway. “You are Edward Sterling, Chief Executive Officer of JH Industries, correct?”Edward stared at the wall, he still kept quiet. His pride didn’t allow utter a word, he had refused to believe his current situation.Hayes opened the fil

She climbed into the driver’s seat and gripped the steering wheel so tightly her knuckles turned white, taking deep, shuddering breaths that did nothing to steady her racing heart.Victoria’s pregnancy announcement had struck her like a knife to
