09:00 AM“BREAKING NEWS: MARCUS RIVERA NAMED AS PRIMARY ACCESS POINT IN CORPORATE CYBER ATTACK.”Reporters crowded outside the Rivera family estate, cameras flashing relentlessly as journalists pushed against security barriers, desperate for answers. Across the city, Rivera Corporation was facing the same chaos.A reporter adjusted his earpiece before speaking directly into the camera.“Marcus Rivera, son of Rivera Corporation’s chairman, is now under investigation and has reportedly been placed under temporary suspension after new digital evidence revealed a second source connected to the Rivera cyber breach.” He glanced briefly toward the mansion behind him. “At the moment, Marcus Rivera remains unreachable, and sources claim he has not been seen at the family residence since last night. This is Aiden Gray reporting live for SVC News.”“Cut!” the director called out.The cameramen immediately began packing up equipment.“We’re heading to Rivera Corporation,” one of the producers sai

Elena held the file tightly, her mind racing as she tried to make sense of everything she had just seen.What she didn't know was that they weren't alone.From the partially open doorway, a pair of eyes watched them carefully.It was the same executive who had seemed suspicious earlier.He remained silent, studying them with a calculating gaze before quietly turning away. Moments later, he disappeared down the hallway, phone already in hand.Adrian glanced at his wristwatch."We should get out of here. It's getting late," he said, looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the glittering Manhattan skyline."Oh, right. Just give me a second."While Adrian wasn't looking, Elena quickly pulled out her phone and snapped a photo of the file she was holding. Then she discreetly photographed a few other documents that had raised her suspicions.A moment later, she slipped her phone away."Okay, now I'm done," she said with a calm smile.Together, they carefully arranged the files and re

Elena rushed into the hospital room.Several nurses were gathered around her father, adjusting monitors and checking his IV lines.He looked pale.Far weaker than she had imagined."Dad?" she called softly.One of the nurses glanced at her."What's his condition?" Elena asked immediately.The nurse finished adjusting the IV before answering."He's stable for now, but he's still very weak. His vitals aren't where we'd like them to be."She offered a polite smile."Please avoid anything stressful. He needs rest more than anything else."Elena nodded.The nurses finished their work, gathered their equipment, and quietly filed out of the room.Silence settled in their wake.Elena turned back to her father.His eyes were open, fixed on the ceiling.For a moment, neither spoke.Then she pulled a chair closer and sat beside him.A faint smile touched her lips."You know, we have a lot to talk about."Her gaze softened."But I'd be a terrible daughter if I started interrogating you the second

The boardroom fell silent the moment Elena Rivera entered.No one rose to greet her.No one offered condolences for the fire.No one mentioned Marcus.The atmosphere was too tense for formalities.News of the executive floor fire had dominated every headline since dawn. Investors were panicking. The media was circling Rivera Corporation like vultures. And Marcus Rivera remained in police custody.Yet Elena walked into the room without hesitation.Without fear.Without uncertainty.She placed a folder on the conference table and took her seat at the head of it.Several executives exchanged uneasy glances.They had expected exhaustion.Perhaps even desperation.Instead, the woman before them looked focused.Dangerously focused."Let's begin," Elena said.One board member cleared his throat."Ms. Rivera, before we proceed, I believe we should address the growing concerns regarding the company's public image—""No."The interruption stunned the room.The executive blinked."Excuse me?""I

Elena stepped into her office and immediately spotted Adrian standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.One hand rested in his pocket while the other lightly touched the glass as he stared at the city below."What are you doing here?" she asked."Nice view," he replied, ignoring her question as he gestured toward the window.Elena rolled her eyes and placed her bag on the desk before turning to face him."You know, Mr. Vale, you're becoming increasingly difficult to tolerate.""Really?" he asked, feigning surprise.A flicker of irritation crossed her face."You've been getting on my nerves too, don't you think?" he countered as he wandered toward the bookshelf in the corner."How exactly? I barely contact you.""And that's part of the problem."He turned to face her.Elena let out a dry laugh."Oh, so there are multiple problems now?"Adrian ignored the sarcasm."If I remember correctly, I own a significant share of this company. When major decisions are made, I should be informed.""So
