***The morning sun cast a golden hue over the marina, its rays dancing upon the gentle ripples of the water as Andrew's car pulled into the parking lot. He stepped out onto the concrete pavement, his jaw set in a firm line as he surveyed the scene before him. This was where the trail of what Andrei did had led him. Andrei killed three of his men and escaped.As he made his way towards the marina office, Andrew's mind raced with thoughts of vengeance and retribution. He had come here seeking answers, seeking justice for the men who had lost their lives at the hands of Andrei, but he wasn’t going to make a fuss about it because he still needs Andrei to hold over Nathan. But as he approached the door, a knot of dread tightened in his stomach. Something was amiss.Inside the office, Andrew wasted no time in demanding the information he sought. He needed to know who had aided Andrei in his escape and how Andrei was able to kill his men."I want a list of all the private boats that left th

“You too, Gwen.” Nathan smiled. He never thought he would be this happy to see Gwen, as he told her that they should get into the private jet before Andrew’s men would suspect and come over. They rushed into the jet. Gwen went to the pilot and told him to take off, as he came back over to where Nathan was and sat next to him. Nathan's heart soared with the promise of freedom that lay ahead. His hand was intertwined with Gwen’s as the engines roared to life, carrying them away. Nathan felt a huge relief that he had finally left Romania.***The afternoon sun cast long shadows across Andrew's opulent living room, its warm rays failing to penetrate the icy chill that permeated the air. Andrew sat on his leather armchair, his brow furrowed with frustration as he stared at the blank screen of his phone. Despite his best efforts, Nathan remained elusive, a thorn in his side that refused to be dislodged.With a growl of frustration, Andrew punched in a number on his phone, his fingers tappin

***Andrew awoke with a simmering rage still coursing through his veins, his mind consumed by thoughts of Nathan and the failure to capture him that he had endured. With a frustrated growl, he reached for his bedside table, grabbed his bedside landline phone and glared at the shattered remnants of his anger from the night before."Get me a new phone, now!" he barked into the device, his voice a low growl of frustration.The guard on the other end of the line scrambled to obey, his voice trembling as he responded, "Yes, sir, right away."Moments later, the guard came with the replacement phone, which he gave to Andrew. Andrew busied himself with transferring all the information from his old device cloud to the new one. Every contact, every message, and every piece of incriminating evidence that could be used against him—he made sure it was all safely stored away.Once the task was complete, Andrew wasted no time in springing into action. He called up one of his trusted men, his voice c

The phone rang several times before Gwen finally answered, her voice warm and familiar on the other end of the line. "Hey, Nathan, what's up?" She greeted him.Nathan took a deep breath, steeling himself for the conversation ahead. "Gwen, I need to talk to you about something," he said, his voice tight with tension.Gwen sensed the seriousness in Nathan's tone and grew concerned. "Of course, Nathan, what's wrong?" she asked, her voice soft with concern."It's about you and Karina," Nathan replied, his words coming out in a rush. "I can't shake this feeling of... I don't know. I need to understand what brought you two closer."There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line as Gwen processed Nathan's words. Finally, she spoke, her voice gentle but firm. "Nathan, it's complicated," she began. "It all started with Alex."Nathan's blood boiled at the mention of Alex's name. He clenched his fists, struggling to contain the rage that threatened to consume him. "What about Alex?"

"Shut up," Nathan growled, his voice low and menacing as he leaned in close, his eyes burning with fury. "I ask the questions here."Alex recoiled at the force of Nathan's words, his gaze flickering nervously as he struggled to compose himself. "What do you want from me?" he managed to choke out, his voice strained with fear.Nathan's eyes narrowed as he regarded the man before him, his mind racing with thoughts of revenge and justice. "I want to know why you've been tormenting Karina," he demanded, his voice laced with accusation. "What did she ever do to you?"Alex's gaze faltered, guilt flashing across his features before he quickly masked it with a look of defiance. "Karina did nothing to me," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. "I just... I wanted her company. It was nothing personal."Nathan's blood boiled at the admission, his anger bubbling to the surface in a seething rage. "Nothing personal?" he repeated, his voice dripping with contempt. "You destroyed her life,
