The paperwork had gone through and the final pieces of her business have been seized.”Justin was jolted out of his thoughts as he heard his assistant’s voice but he did not respond immediately.

    Lilly hesistated. She did not know if she should answer the call or not. She had not spoken to Justin for a long time. She got to know about her mother's case late, like her dad and since then, she had tried to reach him hut he was not giving her audience. Since the moment she had seen her mother in court, she did not know what to say or how to confront the complex racing emotions she felt that day when she thought of him. But she was curious to know what he wanted to say and she tried to answer.“Hello,” he said.“Justin,” She said with her voice barely above a whisper.There was a long pause on the other end but after a while, his voice came through. It was calm and measured. “Lilly, I was not sure if you would answer me if I called.”She closed her eyes as she heard him say that. She tried to steady herself before she replied. “What do you want Justin?”“I just wanted to check on you and see how you are holding up” he said.

    Lilly was beside her large window, seated on a chair in her apartment. She was looking out at the city below as her apartment was on a hillside. The sun was just setting, making a soft glow to appear over the sky. This has been her usual spot for some time. She had spent the past few days thinking about certain things. She had made a decision and had been thinking if it was the best one for her. But truth is she can not pretend not to see the reality of things as it holds for her. She had to move forward with her life without the stains of her mother's name. And to make that happen, she needed help from the last person she even thought she would turn to again.Justin. Her ex-husband.She did not know what to do as she held her phone in her hand. She was hesitating if she should call Justin or not.

    Justin turned around, studying her face. “You do realize that walking away from your business means losing a significant part of who you’ve been for years, right? It’s not just about your mother.”“I know,” Lilly admitted, her voice soft. “But I can’t live with the weight of it anymore. Every time I look at my company, I see her shadow. I need to start over, rebuild from scratch, away from everything she touched.”Justin crossed his arms, leaning against the wall. “And what makes you think I can help you with that?”“You’re the only one who can,” she said, her voice trembling slightly. “You know how to navigate this world better than anyone. You’ve built your empire without relying on anyone else’s influence. But I... I need you to help me do the same.”For a moment, Justin said nothing, simply watching her, his expression contemplative. Lilly could not tell what he was thinking, if he was angry, confused, or even amused by her request. Finally, he spoke. “You’re asking me to help y

    The room was silent when Justin re-entered. His expression was cold and disbelieving. There was no need for an explanation to the group still seated around the table for what had happened. The tension hung in the air. Every person in the room knew, it seemed, instinctively that a bomb had just gone off.And the consequences will cause serious damage. Mark sat at the head of the table. His fingers tapped the polished wood nervously. His usual confident demeanor was gone. It was replaced by a feeling of discomfort radiating from him. Justin could see it in the way his eyes avoided his gaze. But there had been more-something darker, something deeper. Silently, Justin walked toward the tabletop; his footsteps rang harsh in the otherwise silent room. Mark's eyes flicked up, catching everything else for the briefest instant before quickly looking down.“Everyone out,” Justin said, his voice harsh, commanding.

And he didn't know who it was.In his head, Mark's words played on repeat, but it was the stabbing betrayal that hurt the most. He had single-handedly built this company as anything by steel-back-end deals, through a relentless strategy, and with the will to establish iron-clad grounds for its existence. And now, someone within his entire circle began tearing it all apart and selling to the highest bidder. A slap against the face, and Justin wasn't certain how to take it. He instantly picked the phone, dialing Mark's number.

Somehow, Justin couldn't seem to shake an inner feeling that someone was still perhaps watching, waiting for just the right moment to make his move.“Good morning, Mr. Drogonuv,” Mark’s voice broke through the silence as Justin walked into his office. The assistant’s usual upbeat tone was tinged with something more serious. “We need to talk.”Justin raised his eyebrows but waved his hand for Mark to continue. "what happened?" Mark's expression was tense, and Justin immediately felt a sense of urgency in the room.“It’s about the company’s recent movements. "I notice a few discrepancies in our financial reports. At first, I thought it was simply an oversight, but I now doubt it," Justin's heartbeat sped up. “What kind of irregularities?”“A few transactions that don’t add up.

One of Ethan’s shell companies just made a huge transfer—directly into the account of a prominent politician."A chill ran through Justin’s veins. The realization struck him like a fist to the gut.

But Justin had learned long ago that the best defense was a good offense. And if Ethan thought he could break him, he was gravely mistaken.The day started with a call from Ava. She was his eyes and ears in the media world, and if there was anyone who could keep the pressure on Ethan, it was her."Everything’s set," Ava said, her voice crisp and focused. "We’ve got the story ready to drop. I’ve coordinated with the biggest outlets. By this afternoon, Ethan’s going to be on the defensive."Justin reclined, swaying to the beat, tapping his fingers back and forth on his desk."Make sure we control the narrative.

And that wouldn’t change now.He walked into his office, his haven where he had made multitudes of decisions concerning the fate of his empire.
