Oliver sat at the head of the conference table, surrounded by the board of directors. He had a stack of papers in front of him, filled with notes and suggestions for how to fix the company's computer technology problems. This was his first official meeting as the new interim CEO of the tech giant, and he was determined to make the most of it."This is a mess," he said, gesturing to the papers. "I mean, honestly, what were they thinking?" He shook his head, glancing around the table. "We've got security breaches left and right, the software is unreliable, and the hardware is outdated. It's no wonder we're losing ground to our competitors."The directors exchanged worried looks, each of them as concerned about the company's future as Oliver was. He had a reputation among his colleagues for being sharp, direct, and tenacious - qualities that would be sorely needed in the coming months."There's no quick fix for this, obviously," Oliver continued. "But I do have a plan. It's going to take

Oliver dialed Adam's number and waited for the call to connect."Hey, Adam," Oliver said as soon as the call was connected."Oliver! Hey, what's up?" Adam's chirpy voice came from the other end."I need to talk to you about something important.""Sure, go ahead.""I think I'm being followed by someone."Adam's voice softened. "What? Who is it? Do you know them?""No, I have no idea who it is. But I think he might be the same person who called me when I was in the hospital with Carter."Adam gasped. "That's serious, man. You need to be careful.""I know. That's why I thought you could help me figure out who it is.""Of course, I'll do everything I can to help. But do you have any idea who this person might be?""I don't know, man. That's what's scaring me the most. I can't think of anyone who would have a reason to come after me like this."Adam paused for a moment before speaking again. "You know, someone could be trying to get revenge on you for something you might not even know abou

You have the ability to make this company prosper, and with your leadership, we will make great strides," Samantha reassured him with a warm smile.Oliver appreciated Samantha's support and encouragement, and he knew that she was right. He was capable of running the company, but he still had a lot to learn. He was also still guarded, as he wasn't sure who he could trust."Samantha, can I ask you something personal?"

They had just come from a lovely date night together, and he couldn't help but feel content knowing she was safe.As he got into his car, he received a call from his stepbrother's wife, Merideth.

He's okay," she said, her voice full of relief.Oliver was in shock. He had been bracing himself for the worst, and hearing that Carter was okay was a relief.

Oliver sat quietly in the hospital room, watching over his step-brother Carter as he slept peacefully. It had been a few hours since their last conversation, and the tension in the air was palpable. Carter had made it very clear that he didn't want Oliver to stay in the hospital room with him, but Oliver had insisted, telling his step-brother that he cared about his well-being and didn't want him to feel alone.A loud silence echoed between them, and Oliver couldn't help but feel a sense of regret for the circumstances that brought them together. He knew that he and Carter weren't on good terms, but he couldn't turn his back on family when they needed him the most.Breaking the silence, Carter stirred in his sleep and opened his eyes. He looked around the sterile hospital room, taking in his surroundings before turning his gaze towards Oliver."Why are you still here?" Carter asked, his voice hoarse. "I told you to leave."Oliver took a deep breath before responding, "I'm not going an

He wanted to know the truth, every single detail about the person who wanted to kill him, but Carter seemed hesitant to speak about it."Come on, Carter," Oliver urged, sitting up a little straighter, "you can tell me. Who is it? What do they want from me?"Carter shook his head, his eyes darting around the room nervously. "I can't, Oliver. If I tell you, they'll hurt our family. You don't understand the kind of danger we're in right now."Oliver felt frustration boiling inside him. He couldn't believe Carter was still keeping things from him. "What kind of danger? Who is this person? Why are they after me?"Carter let out a sigh, rubbing his forehead. "It's not that simple, Oliver. This person is powerful, they have connections. They're not just after you, they want to destroy us completely."Oliver's heart sank. He knew there was something bigger at play here, but hearing the severity of it made him feel sick. "Please, C
