The room was filled with the scent of rich leather and the faint aroma of the cigar he had set aside. His mind was sharp, eyes narrowed in deep thought as he plotted his next move.

There were still scores to settle.A knock on the door broke his concentration. “Come in,” he said, his voice calm and controlled.Yvonne entered the room, her expression unreadable. She moved with grace, closing the door softly behind her. “It’s done,” she announced, her tone as cold and efficient as ever. “Jack’s assets have been completely frozen. He’s penniless.

The enemies who had once mocked and betrayed him were beginning to feel the full weight of his wrath, but there was still more to be done.As he awaited the arrival of his next targets, Matthew’s mind replayed the events of the past few days.

The flicker of the flame in the fireplace added a warmth that contrasted with the cold determination in his eyes. His mind was racing, filled with the countless possibilities of what came next. The victory over Rachel and Jack was satisfying, but it was only the beginning. There were still so many who had wronged him, and they would all meet the same fate.He reached for the glass of scotch on his desk, taking a slow sip as he considered his next move.
