Oliver was now making his way back to the building as he went out earlier to have lunch on a restaurant, feeling a bit deflated. It had been a long and tedious meeting — one of many that had taken place since he had taken over as CEO. He had come to realize that he had his work cut out for him.The technology company, once a leader in the industry, was now facing some serious challenges. One of the company's innovations, a revolutionary new software program, was experiencing some major hitches. Customers were complaining about bugs and errors, and many were seeking refunds. This was a major blow to the company's reputation.Oliver had made it his mission to get to the bottom of this issue. He knew that he couldn't do it alone, and so he had gathered some of the company's brightest minds together to address the problem. But even with all their expertise, they still couldn't figure out what was causing the issue.As Oliver was walking out of the building, his mind was still racing with

"Oliver, what seems to be troubling you?" Samantha asked with concern, as she noticed the somber look on Oliver's face."It's just that, I never thought that I would end up being the CEO of this company. It feels like a huge responsibility on my shoulders, especially after what my stepbrother went through with handling the technological aspects of the business," Oliver replied with a sigh."I understand that it might seem overwhelming, but I have faith in you. You have the ability to make this company prosper, and with your leadership, we will make great strides," Samantha reassured him with a warm smile.Oliver appreciated Samantha's support and encouragement, and he knew that she was right. He was capable of running the company, but he still had a lot to learn. He was also still guarded, as he wasn't sure who he could trust."Samantha, can I ask you something personal?" Oliver inquired, trying to change the topic."Of course, you can," Samantha said, curious about what Oliver wanted

Oliver watched Samantha as she entered her house, making sure she was safe before turning to walk back to his car. They had just come from a lovely date night together, and he couldn't help but feel content knowing she was safe.As he got into his car, he received a call from his stepbrother's wife, Merideth. He was surprised to hear from her, especially since Carter had been in a coma for weeks after a terrible altercation between the two of them. Oliver had accidentally pushed Carter, causing him to suffer brain damage. It was an accident, but Oliver couldn't shake the guilt he felt."Oliver, it's Merideth. Carter woke up at the hospital. He's okay," she said, her voice full of relief.Oliver was in shock. He had been bracing himself for the worst, and hearing that Carter was okay was a relief. He immediately turned his car around and headed to the hospital.When he arrived, he made his way to Carter's room, feeling a mix of emotions. Relief that his stepbrother was okay, guilt over

Oliver bit his lip as he looked up at his stepbrother, Carter. He wanted to know the truth, every single detail about the person who wanted to kill him, but Carter seemed hesitant to speak about it."Come on, Carter," Oliver urged, sitting up a little straighter, "you can tell me. Who is it? What do they want from me?"Carter shook his head, his eyes darting around the room nervously. "I can't, Oliver. If I tell you, they'll hurt our family. You don't understand the kind of danger we're in right now."Oliver felt frustration boiling inside him. He couldn't believe Carter was still keeping things from him. "What kind of danger? Who is this person? Why are they after me?"Carter let out a sigh, rubbing his forehead. "It's not that simple, Oliver. This person is powerful, they have connections. They're not just after you, they want to destroy us completely."Oliver's heart sank. He knew there was something bigger at play here, but hearing the severity of it made him feel sick. "Please, C

Oliver made his way out of the hospital room, feeling a mix of relief and sadness wash over him. While he was glad to have seen his stepbrother Carter, the circumstances of their reunion were less than ideal.As he walked down the sterile halls of the hospital, Oliver couldn't help but replay their conversation in his head. Carter was in bad shape, but he still managed to be as cold and distant as ever. Oliver knew that their relationship had been strained for years, but he couldn't help but feel hurt by Carter's refusal to even try to get along.But as he turned the corner, Oliver was surprised to see someone waiting for him."Hey, Oliver," a voice said from behind him.Oliver turned around and saw his best friend Adamson, who had a concerned look on his face."How did it go?" he asked.Oliver sighed. "It was…difficult."His friend nodded sympathetically. "I know that it's not easy for you, but you're doing the right thing by being there for Carter. He needs you right now."Oliver kn
