“How could Samuel do this?” Louis muttered, gripping the edge of his desk so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

Terminator X stopped mid-stride.

“He didn’t just betray you, Louis. He handed her exactly what she needed to spin the narrative in her favor.”

Louis clenched his jaw.

“Play it again.”

With a grim nod, Terminator X hit play.

Samuel’s voice came through the speakers, smooth and conversational.

“Vivian and Halton won’t stop until they ruin me,” Louis’s voice said, though the context had been carefully edited.

“If Juliet and Pearl are caught in the crossfire, so be it. I’ll do what I must to protect my empire.”

The recording ended with a deliberate pause, leaving just enough room for speculation and outrage.

“Twisted beyond recognition,” Terminator X growled.

“They’ve made you sound like a calculating monster who uses women as pawns.”

Louis leaned back in his chair, his mind racing.

“The media is eating this up. They’ll dissect every word, every pause. Damage control will b

    Juliet had been pacing her apartment, conflicted and overwhelmed by the whirlwind of accusations and betrayals swirling around Louis.Her phone chimed with a message from an unknown number.“I have information that will prove Louis is lying to you. Meet me at Blue Orchid Café at 3 PM. —V.”Juliet hesitated, staring at the message.She wanted answers, but trusting Vivian felt like walking into a trap.Her emotions, however, overpowered her logic.If there’s a chance to know the truth, I have to take it.At 3 PM, Juliet walked into the café, scanning the crowd until she spotted Vivian, sipping on a glass of wine with a practiced air of superiority.“You actually came,” Vivian said, smirking.“I wasn’t sure you’d be brave enough.”“I’m not here for games, Vivian. What do you have?” Juliet snapped, pulling out a chair.Vivian leaned forward, her expression sly.“I could give you all the proof you need to see Louis for what he is, but I need something from you first.”“What could I possibl

    Louis moved like a shadow, catching the attacker’s wrist and redirecting the blade.The man stumbled as Louis struck his ribs with an elbow, following it with a swift kick that sent him sprawling to the ground.The burly man, despite his injured arm, charged again."You think you’re better than us?" he growled, swinging wildly.Louis ducked, his movements precise and calculated.He delivered a brutal uppercut, sending the man reeling back into a stack of crates."Better? No," Louis said, stepping over the groaning man."Smarter and faster? Absolutely."From behind him, the lean man scrambled to his feet, gripping a metal pipe he’d found among the debris.He swung it with force, aiming for Louis’s head.Louis turned just in time, raising his arm to block the blow.Pain shot through his forearm, but he didn’t falter.With a swift movement, Louis disarmed the man, twisting the pipe out of his grasp and tossing it aside.He landed a powerful punch to the man’s temple, sending him crashing

    Juliet’s mind was in turmoil, replaying Vivian’s words over and over.She clenched the photograph she’d found inside, her fingers trembling as her eyes burned with jealousy.The image showed Louis and Pearl, their faces close, their expressions unreadable under the dim lighting.To Juliet, it looked intimate, far too familiar."I need answers, Louis," she finally said, her voice tight with emotion."What is this? Were you lying to me about her?"Louis stopped in his tracks, turning to face her.His brows furrowed when he noticed the photograph in her hand.He exhaled sharply, frustration mingling with fatigue."Where did you find that?""Inside," she snapped, her eyes narrowing."It’s fake, isn’t it? Tell me it’s fake."Louis hesitated for the briefest moment."It’s not what it looks like, Juliet. Pearl and I were discussing something important—""Important?!" Juliet cut him off, her voice rising."It looks like more than just a discussion, Louis. Do you know how hard it is to trust y

    "Are you sure about this?" Pearl asked, her voice steady but tinged with urgency."Louis really cares for this girl? And Vivian... she didn’t do this on her own?"Her investigator, a seasoned man with years of experience in tracking the city's most elusive figures, nodded grimly."It’s all connected. Louis has been involved with a woman, someone close to him. Vivian knows this, and she's been using her as bait to get to him."Pearl froze for a moment, her heart sinking. "Kidnapped?""Yes," he confirmed."Vivian orchestrated the whole thing. But what’s more troubling is that she’s not alone. There’s a mastermind behind her—a shadow figure who’s been pulling the strings from the start."Pearl clenched her fists."Who?" she demanded, her voice sharp.Her hands trembled slightly as she held the documents her private investigator had delivered just hours earlier.They revealed something far more sinister than she had anticipated—Vivian’s connections to a shadow organization known as The A

    The two worked late into the night, pouring over the information Pearl had uncovered.Among the files was a trail of financial transactions, coded messages, and a list of names—operatives, allies, and unsuspecting victims of The Avaris Circle’s schemes."This one," Pearl said, pointing to a name on the list."Marco Duvall. He’s one of their top enforcers.If anyone knows the truth about their plans, it’s him."Louis’s gaze sharpened."Where can I find him?"Pearl hesitated."He frequents a private club downtown. But Louis, he’s dangerous. You can’t just confront him without a plan."He smirked faintly, his confidence unwavering."I don’t intend to confront him. I’ll make him come to me."Pearl’s brow furrowed."What are you planning?"Louis stood, his movements deliberate as he gathered the documents."To give him a reason to talk."As he turned to leave, Pearl called after him."Be careful, Louis. These people don’t play fair."He glanced back, a determined glint in his eyes."Neithe

    The headline splashed across every major media outlet was as damning as it was sensational.“Louis Kindsor Linked to Multi-Million Dollar Fraud Scheme.” The accompanying exposé detailed forged documents implicating Louis in a series of shady corporate deals, all carefully orchestrated to bring his reputation crashing down.Pearl read the leaked documents over and over, her sharp mind picking apart the inconsistencies and recognizing Vivian’s hand in the fabrication."This isn’t just an attack," Pearl murmured to herself, her fingers drumming against the desk."It’s an execution."Later that day, Pearl held a press conference, her poise commanding attention as she addressed the gathered reporters."Thank you all for coming," she began, her voice clear and unwavering."I’m here to set the record straight regarding the allegations against Louis Kindsor."The crowd buzzed with anticipation.Cameras clicked, capturing every angle of her elegant yet determined expression."The documents in

    At the same time, Juliet watched the chaos unfold from a distance, her emotions in turmoil.She sat in her apartment, scrolling through the latest headlines, her brow furrowed.The image of Pearl standing confidently at the podium replayed in her mind."She’s incredible," Juliet murmured, then immediately frowned, her fingers gripping her phone tightly."Or maybe she’s just... foolish?"Her thoughts warred within her.Pearl’s actions were undeniably brave, but the way she stood by Louis made Juliet’s stomach churn."She’s doing it for him," Juliet whispered, biting her lip."But why does that bother me so much? I’m not even his..." She trailed off, unwilling to finish the thought.Juliet clutched the printed photograph in her hand as she approached storefront of an underground art dealer known only as “Tanner.”The location, tucked away in a rundown part of the city, was a stark contrast to the world of luxury and intrigue she’d been navigating lately.Her nerves prickled, but her det

    Louis sat in his study, mind was racing, thoughts tangled in a web of suspicion, paranoia, and frustration.The photo of him and Pearl, the one that had caused so much turmoil between him and Juliet, had seemed like the key to unraveling the mystery.But now, it was only one piece of a much larger puzzle.He leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples as Terminator X entered the room."We’ve almost got him, Louis," Terminator X said, holding up a report."The art dealer we tracked down, Tanner, has been our best lead so far.We’ve traced his movements and connections. We were closing in on the one who doctored the image."Louis’s eyes narrowed"Almost?""Yeah," Terminator X replied grimly."But before we could get to him, he’s dead. Found in his apartment this morning. No signs of forced entry, but it’s clear it was no accident."Louis’s heart sank."Dead? But why—""There’s more," Terminator X continued, cutting him off."He left a note behind, just before his death. One line: 'The

    The early morning light spilled into the AAA Group office as Louis sat at his desk, the remnants of sleepless nights etched on his face.His eyes darted between scattered notes and a grainy security image of the shadowy figure he had seen at the auction.“They looked just like her,” Louis muttered, his voice barely audible.Juliet leaned against the doorway, her arms crossed.“Louis, we’ve been over this. Your mother’s gone. Whoever that was, it wasn’t her.”“She’s right,” Pearl said, walking in with a steaming cup of coffee.“You’re chasing shadows, and it’s going to consume you if you let it.”Louis glanced up, his jaw tight.“You didn’t see them. The way they moved, the way they watched Vivian—it was uncanny.”Juliet sighed, sitting across from him.“And even if it was connected to your mother, what’s the endgame here? You can’t afford to lose focus—not now, with Vivian holding that relic.”Despite their warnings, Louis threw himself into the investigation.He poured over surveilla

    The room buzzed with anticipation as the auction reached its climax.The artifact, now displayed on a pedestal surrounded by a faint, shimmering aura, seemed to pulse with energy.The bids climbed rapidly, the stakes as high as the tension in the air.“Eighty million,” Hector announced confidently, leaning back in his chair.His smirk was aimed directly at Louis, daring him to counter.Louis met his gaze, his jaw tight. “Eighty-five.”Vivian raised her hand almost immediately. “Ninety.”Pearl leaned over to Louis, her voice low but urgent.“She’s pushing hard. We need to disrupt their rhythm.”“Leave that to me,” Juliet said, a sly smile curving her lips.She slipped into the crowd, her emerald dress catching the light as she approached Hector’s group.Juliet joined a cluster of Hector’s associates, effortlessly blending into their conversation.Her laughter carried over the hum of the room, drawing their attention.“Such an intense evening,” she said, her tone light.“But isn’t Hecto

    The sleek black envelope was unmarked except for a wax seal bearing an ornate insignia.Louis turned it over in his hands, frowning.“No sender. Just an address and a date.”Juliet leaned over the desk, reading the contents.“It’s an invitation. Exclusive, secretive, and dripping with high-society pretension.”Pearl crossed her arms.“It’s also a trap. These kinds of events aren’t meant for people like us—they’re meant to lure us into compromising positions.”Louis set the envelope down.“So, what do we do? Ignore it?”Juliet shook her head.“No. If this is legitimate, it’s an opportunity to get ahead of whatever they’re planning. Plus, if we don’t show, it’ll look like we’re hiding.”“Or it’s a setup to discredit us,” Pearl countered, her tone sharp.“Showing up could backfire.”Louis sighed, torn between the two perspectives.“Either way, they’ll spin it against us. But if there’s even a chance this event is important, we can’t afford to sit it out.”The venue was an opulent mansion

    The grand ballroom of the Apple City Business Forum was packed with influential figures, the air buzzing with anticipation.A row of cameras lined the back of the room, broadcasting the event live.At the center stage sat Louis Kindsor, Hector Lang, and other key players, each ready to make their case to the city’s elite.Louis adjusted his microphone, his calm exterior hiding the storm brewing inside.Juliet and Pearl stood nearby, their presence a silent reminder of the stakes.In the crowd, Terminator X sat inconspicuously, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.Hector, ever the showman, leaned forward with a smirk“Ladies and gentlemen, we’re here to discuss the future of this city’s economy. And I think it’s clear who’s capable of leading that future.”He gestured toward Louis, his tone dripping with mockery.“We’ve all seen the headlines. AAA Group struggling, questionable projects, and leadership that’s… let’s just say, less than inspiring.”Louis didn’t flinch.“Interesting

    The morning headlines screamed trouble for AAA Group:“AAA’s Tech Venture Faces Catastrophic Delays: Sabotage Alleged.”Louis slammed the paper on his desk, his jaw tight with frustration. Juliet and Pearl stood nearby, both visibly concerned.“Hector’s fingerprints are all over this,” Juliet said, pacing.“The delays, the rumors—it’s too coordinated to be random.”“He’s targeting our flagship project to undermine investor confidence,” Pearl added. “And it’s working.”Louis pinched the bridge of his nose.“We need a counterattack, fast. If we lose momentum on this, it’ll snowball.”“We can’t just react,” Juliet interjected.“We need to get ahead of him. Find out his next move.”Pearl crossed her arms, her gaze sharp.“I might know someone who can help us trace the sabotage back to Hector. But it’ll take time.”“Time we don’t have,” Louis muttered.That evening, Louis attended an elite gala under pressure from investors and allies, hoping to salvage their confidence.The venue was a gl

    Juliet’s voice trembled.“But how? We saw you… you sacrificed yourself during the fight with The Seer. How are you here?”Pearl looked directly at Louis, her gaze steady.“One of The Seer’s guards saved me. His name was Tom. When the battle ended, he found me and took me to a hidden village far from the chaos. They treated my injuries, but it took months to recover.”Louis’s voice broke.“Why didn’t you contact us?”“I couldn’t,” Pearl said, her tone regretful.“The village was isolated, and I was in no condition to travel. By the time I could leave, I knew I had to come back—to help.”Pearl turned to the auctioneer, her voice cutting through the stunned silence.“As the rightful executor of the Kindsor estate, I invoke Clause 17 of the AxisTech agreement. No deal can proceed without my authorization.”Vivian’s face twisted with rage.“You can’t be serious. You’ve been gone for months—you have no standing here!”Pearl smiled faintly.“Actually, Vivian, I do. I never relinquished my au

    The auctioneer tried to regain control.“Order, please! Bidding resumes at 120 million.”“150,” Hector said smoothly, ignoring the chaos around him.“You should just walk away, Kindsor. It’ll save you the embarrassment.”Louis narrowed his eyes.“160.”“170,” Hector fired back instantly.“You’re not winning this, Louis. This isn’t a battlefield—it’s a chessboard. And I’m always five moves ahead.”Louis leaned forward, his voice low and sharp.“You’re mistaking arrogance for strategy, Hector. It’s a common flaw in people who’ve never fought for what they have.”The crowd murmured again, the tide shifting subtly in Louis’s favor.Just as the bidding reached a fever pitch, the auctioneer raised his hand.“Current bid: 200 million. Going once… going twice…”“250 million,” a smooth, familiar voice called from the back of the room.All heads turned as Vivian stepped into the light, her entrance as dramatic as it was calculated.Her crimson dress and confident stride silenced the room.“Vivia

    Back at the AAA Group’s headquarters, Louis leaned over a table cluttered with financial reports, his brows furrowed. Juliet stood beside him, flipping through the pages, her expression equally grim.“This isn’t normal,” Juliet said. “These sudden losses, the canceled contracts—it’s too coordinated to be a coincidence.”“It’s not,” Terminator X said, entering the room. “I did some digging. Hector Lang is behind this. He’s got ties to the Eternals’ remnants, and now he’s targeting us.”Louis slammed his fist on the table. “Hector Lang. I’ve heard the name, but why now? Why is he coming after us?”“Because Vivian made sure of it,” Terminator X replied. “She’s playing puppet master, and Lang is more than happy to be her enforcer.”As Louis worked late into the night, Juliet found herself attending more public events to maintain their connections in Apple City. At one such gathering, she caught the eye of several high-profile bachelors, their interest evident.“Ms. Juliet,” one of them sai

    The murmurs grew louder, this time with a more supportive tone toward Louis. He took a deep breath, drawing strength from Juliet’s unwavering stance.“Vivian’s right about one thing,” Louis began, his voice steady. “I did hold the shard. I fought to control its power because if I hadn’t, none of us would be standing here today.”He stepped forward, his voice rising with conviction. “But what she won’t tell you is what really happened. The Seer was on the verge of destroying everything—this city, its people, its future. I made a choice to stop her, no matter the cost.”Louis turned to the audience, his gaze sweeping over them. “I’ve made mistakes. I’m not perfect. But I’ve never hidden from responsibility. Can Vivian say the same?”The crowd’s murmurs shifted, skepticism giving way to curiosity and even support. Vivian’s frustration was palpable as she tried to regain control.“Don’t let him fool you!” she snapped. “This is nothing more than a desperate attempt to deflect from his fail
