In the heart of Santos city, a luxurious meeting room exuded an air of opulence and sophistication. From its floor-to-ceiling windows, the rhythmic dance of the bustling cityscape stretched out below, a tapestry of lights and movement. The walls were adorned with elegant art pieces, accentuating the rich mahogany furniture that exuded a timeless charm.Standing in the center of the room was Evan, his stance radiating an aura of authority, like a general surveying his domain.Opposite Evan stood Lilliana, a fierce presence in her own right. Her regal posture and steely gaze betrayed no weakness, as if challenging him to a duel of wits. In the dim light of the room, her features were cast in shadows, adding to the air of mystery that surrounded her.Despite the elegance of the room, an undercurrent of tension was palpable. As the seconds ticked by, the silence seemed to pulse with anticipation, awaiting the first strike of this silent battle."It's a rare privilege to share this me

A few miles away from the street where the fire outbreak had occurred, a grandiloquent building stood majestically under the blazing sun. Behind the elegant façade of the glittering glasses, the building exuded an air of grandeur and wealth. But despite its alluring exterior, the interior was a stark contrast, with its suffocating atmosphere and the haggard appearance of a man with dark lines etched on his pale face made things more complicated.“Sir we can't stay here without doing anything. The press are still on our necks waiting to hear a speech from us," A lady's voice sounded in the room and soon after the crisp clacking of heels resonated in the air.The man's dull eyes stared into emptiness as they pondered on thoughts only known to them. “I can't go out there and give a speech, Elis. It's best that I stay here and mourn my son's death in peace. I do not want to hear their nonsense accusations against him," He said as he closed his eyes to seal off a dark memory that threate

“None at the moment, sir," Claus replied and Evan nodded. He leaned against the chair and sighed heavily as all the exhaustion hiding in his body washed over him. He glanced at Claus for a while then sighed as he leaned forward and gazed at the document Liliana had given to him. “Very soon. There will be a joint cooperation between Vertice Capital and Marthra." He said and Claus flashed him a surprise look. “That's good… I didn't expect them to agree to help us,” Claus smiled and Evan gazed at him for a while before he shook his head lightly. “In order for them to help us we have to clear the mess in the city," Evan said and Claus frowned slightly." Oh… That's it? But I still don't get it. I thought they can clear things out themselves? Why are they trying to get you involved in it?" Claus asked and Evan smiled softly. " That was what came to my mind when she proposed such a deal to me. But then… I do not care or wish to know what they planned to do or what they tend to gain from

Back in Santos City ~The sounds of heels resonated in the empty hallway of the 18 floor and soon after a soft hume could be heard playing on the background. “Ra ta ta," Williams's voice echoed in the hallway and soon after he came to a stop in front of the only door available in the long hallway.His left hand streched forward as he knocked softly on the door. After he did that, he went silent and took a step back as he waited for the person inside to grant him the permission to walk in. “Come in," Evan's calm voice sounded from the office and without hesitation, William held the knob of the door and twisted it as he made his way inside the office. As soon as he walked inside the room, a fresh scent of roses drifted into his nostrils and he couldn't help but look around to see where the scent was coming from. And it didn't take long before he saw a brown vase at one of the drawers in the room. His brows furrowed slightly as he glanced at the flowers inside the vase.‘That is new,’

“What?" Mrs. Bertha's eyes widened in horror as she rushed towards Claus with those expressions on her face. “What did you just say happened to my daughter?!" She screamed frantically as she held him by his collar and pulled him towards her. “She's in critical condition, ma'am, “ Claus replied and the spirit in Mrs. Bertha's eyes disappeared as her hands slowly left his collars. She slowly moved away from Claus and turned towards Evan. All the emotions deep inside her reflected in her eyes and Evan knew at once what she wanted to say. “Claus, where is she at the moment?" He asked and Claus's gaze moved from Mrs. Bertha went to Evan. " She was admitted to a hospital, sir, “ Claus replied and Evan gazed at him calmly. “Remove her from there. Ask one of the doctors in the hospital to take care of her medication," Evan ordered and Claus nodded.After receiving the order, he took out his phone and dialed a number and at the same time left the place. Evan watched him leave the room
