Legacy of the Dark

Chapter 32: When Plans Fall Apart

In his grand office, Morgan Ramsey sat with his head bowed, massaging his throbbing temples. Everything was beginning to feel heavy for him—too many things to handle, and everything seemed on the brink of collapse. The charity auction that had been meticulously planned to raise funds for Alex Hughes' campaign was fast approaching, and the pressure to ensure the event's success was weighing on his mind. On top of that, their grand scheme to take down Alex's political rivals was becoming increasingly complex, and now he also had to deal with the threat from Nate and his team, who always seemed to be one step closer.

The phone on Morgan's desk rang, breaking the oppressive silence that made the room feel even smaller. He glanced at the screen, seeing Bella's name displayed. With a heavy sigh, he picked up the phone and answered the call in a flat tone.

“Bella, I want to talk about the auction,” Morgan said without preamble. "We have to cancel our previous request. A problem has come up."
