Receiving this order from Alex, Ava obeyed immediately.

The following morning, Nancy Stewart was jolted awake by a faint, persistent knocking on her bedroom door. Her secretary entered, holding a ringing cellphone.

“Ma’am, you have a call.”

Nancy’s irritation was evident. “Who’s calling at this early hour? Let it ring. The call can wait.” She turned to go back to sleep, but the secretary persisted.

“Ma’am, it’s from the Sebastian Southlake Corporation.”

Nancy’s eyes snapped open. The Sebastian Southlake Corporation had never reached out to her first. She was always the one initiating contact, often enduring a series of frustrating follow-ups to get a response. To receive a call from them at such an early hour was both unusual and alarming.

Curiosity overpowered her annoyance. She leaped out of bed, grabbed the cellphone from her secretary, and said, “Hello, Nancy Stewart speaking.”

“Mrs. Stewart, this is to inform you that the president of Sebastian Southlake Corporation has directed

    While 911 had been called, the paramedics arrived promptly, lifting Harry onto their stretcher and rushing him to the hospital.With Harry taken care of, the general manager wasted no time in taking charge of the board meeting. The meeting had to continue, despite the C.E.O’s sudden hospitalization.“Although the C.E.O has been rushed to the hospital, we all know we cannot adjourn this meeting,” the general manager began, his tone firm and resolute. “Stewart Empire must still compete for the project manager position at Sebastian Southlake Corporation. Therefore, we will be sending the project manager of St. Patrick Digital Company to apply for this role.”The board members nodded in agreement, signaling their unanimous support for the general manager’s decision.***The next day, at Sebastian Southlake Corporation, representatives from St. Patrick Digital Company and Stewart Empire sat in the reception area, awaiting their interviews. They were not alone—other representatives from vari

    Daniel chuckled, but the sound felt hollow, forced. He stepped aside, letting them pass to claim their seats, masking the growing tension beneath his calm demeanor.As he was about to lower himself into his seat, a well-dressed man in a sharp suit appeared from the elevator. His voice rang out, cutting through the air, “Mr. Daniel Stewart, please come in.”Daniel froze for a second, glancing over at Anastasia with a smirk that barely concealed his arrogance. Straightening his suit, he stood tall, radiating the confidence of a man who believed his name alone could open any door. With another smirk, he strode towards the office.As he entered, the first thing Daniel noticed was that the man who’d summoned him wasn’t the one doing the interview. Instead, sitting behind the desk was a different man—older, with glasses perched on the edge of his nose and dressed in a dull gray suit. He barely acknowledged Daniel’s presence, engrossed in whatever he was typing on his computer. Not even a gl

    As Anastasia stepped into the office and settled into her chair, she felt a wave of nervous anticipation wash over her. The interviewer, still focused on his computer screen, hadn’t even acknowledged her presence yet. His silence was unnerving. Without a glance, he stretched out his hand across the desk and said coldly,“Your CV, ma’am?”She quickly handed it over, her heart pounding as his fingers brushed the paper. For a moment, nothing happened. Then, as his eyes landed on her name, something shifted. His indifferent expression faltered, replaced by a spark of recognition.He had received explicit instructions from the vice president herself: reject any applicant from the Stewart Empire, except for one—Anastasia Stewart.Realizing who was

    Arriving at the Stewart Mansion, Anastasia felt a strange hollowness in the air. It was unsettling—too quiet for a place that was usually buzzing with life. She realized, with a sinking feeling, that it was just her and Nancy. No one else from the family was around, only the housekeepers and the ever-watchful secretary. Not even her cousin, Daniel, was in sight. She sighed softly, her fingers brushing the cool surface of the dining table as she sat down to wait for Nancy to appear.The announcement of her arrival must have reached Nancy by now. Anastasia imagined her grandmother getting ready upstairs, mentally preparing for what was sure to be another heated conversation about Alex. With a heavy heart, she gazed at the rich surroundings and the elegance that had shaped her childhood. But today, it all felt distant.Upstairs, Nancy was indeed prepared, both physically and mentally. Her wrinkled hands moved methodically as she put on her jewelry, each piece symbolizing years of hard-ea

Despite its size, Greentree buzzed with energy, its streets filled with companies eager to make strategic partnerships.After the abrupt end of her partnership with the Sebastian Southlake Corporation, Nancy saw potential in Nexera Industries. Nexera wasn’t as big as the Stewart Empire, but Nancy hoped a deal with them could keep her business afloat until Anastasia would do her bidding.“Welcome, Mrs. Stewart,” Mrs. Coker Nexera greeted warmly, bowing slightly at the entrance of her elegant villa.Mrs. Nexera’s genuine smile radiated warmth and respect. “Please, come in,” she said, guiding Nancy into the opulent sitting room.Once seated, Nancy crossed her legs with the poise of a seasoned matriarch. She accepted a cup of coffee, savoring its rich aroma. Mrs. Nexera, still smiling, took a deep breath, clearly eager to impress.“I’m interested in forming a partnership with Nexe

    “How can you hate me so much when you’ve never even met me?” Jackson’s voice rose, a mix of frustration and desperation in his tone. “I told you I love you, and even your grandmother wants us to be together, to eventually get married.”His words were forceful, more like a command than a confession. It was as if he believed he could make Anastasia bend to his will with sheer determination.Nancy, who was watching from nearby, frowned deeply. She knew this wasn’t the right way to approach a woman, but she felt powerless to stop Jackson. She desperately wanted Anastasia to date Jackson, even if it meant pushing her into it.“Leave me alone!” Anastasia shouted, her voice shaking with anger and fear. But Jackson didn’t back down. Instead, he grabbe

    Upon reaching Greentree City and stepping into his home, Jackson was still reeling from the humiliation he had suffered in Southlake City.“She dared to ask me to leave her home.” He fumed, the thought of it still lingering like a ghost. He sank into the leather chair in his home office, his hands cradling his face as he brooded over how to elevate his status.“If I can just improve my status, she’ll have no choice but to notice me and leave that bastard behind.” A fleeting smirk crossed his face but vanished just as quickly.In a fit of determination, he flipped open his laptop and began researching Echelon Enterprises.Much like Sebastian Southlake Corporation’s dominance in Southlake City, Echelon Enterprises was a key player in Greentree City. However, Sebastian Southlake Corporation still held a larger market share. Jackson reasoned that landing a role at Echelon Enterprises, independent of his family’s influence, could pave the way for his entry into Sebastian Southlake Corporat

    Arriving home, Jackson’s mind was a storm. The interviewer’s cryptic words replayed in his head, like a song stuck on a broken loop. He hadn’t done anything wrong—or at least, he couldn’t think of anything. But the unsettling feeling wouldn’t leave him.“Could Anastasia be behind this?” The thought hit him out of nowhere, sending a sharp pang through his chest.“No,” he shook his head, as if to push the idea away. “That’s impossible. Her grandmother wanted us married. She wouldn’t—couldn’t—do something like this.”Yet, his chest tightened as doubt gnawed at him. He began pacing the room, each step quicker than the last.His mind spiraled. He replayed every interaction fr

    Alex rose to his feet, his brow furrowing as unease settled in his chest. His curiosity was piqued, his instincts alert like a predator sensing a trapSomething about this entire situation felt rehearsed, orchestrated even. It didn’t matter that the president of Velmoria sat across from him, feigning hospitality. Whatever was at the corner of the counter had caught Alex’s attention, and he intended to check it out.He took a step forward.“Please sit down, sir!”A guard stepped in front of him, blocking his path with a firm stance. He was taller than Alex, broader, and he carried himself with the air of someone used to intimidation. His fingers brushed the bottom of the pistol at his holster, a silent warning that Alex understood all too well.Alex smirked, the corner of his lips lifting ever so slightly. He turned his gaze to Langston, who remained unbothered, calmly sipping his coffee as if none of this concerned him.Alex’s smirk widened.“What is this?” he asked, his voice cutting

    The four men in suits exchanged uneasy glances. What did Alex mean by "no"?They hesitated, unsure of their next move. The president had given a direct order to bring Alex to the White House, and ignoring that command wasn’t an option. But how were they supposed to force him? It wasn’t like they could drag him along in the middle of a bustling airport without causing a scene.One of them cleared his throat, shifting awkwardly before glancing around at their surroundings. If they were in a more private location, they could have taken action—perhaps through persuasion or force. But here? They were bound by the public eye, and anything drastic would turn heads.“You really have to come with us, sir,” one of the men finally spoke, his voice hushed. “If you don’t, we’ll be in serious trouble.”Alex exhaled deeply, understanding their predicament. These men were simply following orders. Executive orders carried weight, and if they failed their mission, they’d face repercussions—perhaps even

This follows a formal complaint filed by Alex Carter, a wealthy businessman who sought asylum in Turnish after reportedly being targeted by Langston’s regime.The ICC has confirmed that if found guilty, Langston could face life imprisonment, international sanctions, and a global arrest warrant, effectively making him a fugitive on the world stage. In addition, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is now reviewing a separate case filed by the government of Turnish, accusing Velmoria of violating international law by orchestrating a covert operation on its soil.In a bold and

    "Earlier today at 2 PM, Mr. Lucas Gunn, a butler at the White House, attempted to escape the country while being pursued by the police. The chase escalated, leading officers to open fire on him.According to the Turnish Lead Police, Officer Kingsley Roseford stated that Mr. Gunn was resisting arrest after committing a federal crime against the presidential villa of the Turnish government. In a desperate bid to flee, he ignored multiple warnings. Officer Roseford emphasized that resisting arrest is an unforgivable crime, warranting immediate consequences, including the possibility of termination."Alex watched on the TV, and Anastasia sat next to him in the presidential villa.They listened to the news carefully, as with this, they were able to put every piece of the event that happened together. They knew from this that it was Lucas, a butler of the White House, who helped Ferdinand execute his objective on the soil of the country of Turnish and even at the presidential White House of

    “Ahhhh!” Sonya screamed out loud again.“Why do you scream so loudly when I haven’t even hit you yet?” asked the secret agent as he hit the desk Sonya’s hands were fixed on by the agents holding her.The secret agent had been telling Sonya the story of how they started using a hammer as a means of torture, and hence, he demonstrated it by hitting the desk, but at each hit on the table, Sonya screamed out loud!“Leave her!” the secret agent instructed.Immediately, all three holding her released their grip on her. Just then, she continued to shake like trembling feet.She shook from head to toe as if she had seen danger in the face.“Guards!” the secret agent called immediately.Just then, a man in a sleek, fitted blue suit stepped into the interrogative room. By his dressing, Sonya was able to tell that the man was a presidential bodyguard.“Take her away!” the secret agent ordered. With this, the guard grabbed Sonya by her shoulder and took her away!***Lucas was almost reaching the

    Realizing the impact of what Lucas had done, Sonya began to confess everything Lucas told her.She knew since the secret service was known so much, there was no way she was going to be let go scot-free, but even with this, she wouldn’t go down alone.The secret agent ran his finger on the desk like he enjoyed what Sonya was saying to him.He chuckled slightly, then picked up the hammer on the desk.“I shall tell you the story behind this hammer,” the secret agent said, ignoring all that Sonya had said.Saying this, the other members of the secret agents standing at the corners of the walls took their legs forward towards Sonya.Three secret agents grabbed her—two at both of her hands, and the last grabbed her head.“This is going to be painful, but the story will help you feel less pain,” the secret agent smirked darkly.“Ahhhhhhh!”Lucas heard Sonya scream from the interrogation room. His heart pounded. He opened his eyes. He knew right away that he was in far worse trouble than he e

    Sonya placed her hand on the desk in front of her in the interrogation room. Her heart continued to race. She knew she was fucked, but what could she do?“Lucas loved me, and that is all that matters,” she thought.Two hours into the wait, the secret service burst into the room. Hasten had been informed about Alex’s kidnapping, and he furiously ordered the secret service to get to the bottom of it.They were dressed like ninjas of death. From their head to their toes, they wore dark apparel that covered them completely, even up to their fingernails.There were four of them, and each carried a briefcase.One of them sat on the chair on the other side of the desk, opposite Sonya, while the other three positioned themselves at different corners of the dark room, standing in silence.Only the bulb, with its long flickering flame, hung an inch above the table, casting a dim glow over the desk.The darkness in the room made it even harder for Sonya to make out their full appearance. Yet, de

    Four presidential guards barged into Sonya’s office immediately. She raised her head in shock. Earlier she was writing some files, which she was to submit to President Halsten at the instant he was back. But now?Her heart beat faster than a racer on the track. “What’s going on?!” her voice tinged with fear.None of the guards said anything. They had been ordered not to say anything. All they were to do was seize her, get all White House equipment from her, and hold her in custody until Head Chief Security, Robert, was back.Sonya’s hand trembled. Deep down, she knew what she did. She knew it was as a result of what she did for Lucas that they already barged into her office and grabbed her.She had seen episodes like this played out too much in the White House. She knew that the Turnish White House was too strict in the rules and regulations that anyone who messed up was replaceable.Now, not only did she risk losing her job, she was also going to be handed to the right authorities an

    Alex turned to his right, his gaze locking onto a sedan parked a few distances away. The sight of it sent a subtle ripple of unease through him. As he shifted his position, the ring on his finger toggled slightly, an almost imperceptible movement that only heightened his alertness.Something about that sedan felt off. He knew danger was lurking, directed at him, emanating from that very vehicle. Yet, despite the warning signals flashing in his mind, he remained rooted to the spot. He wanted to see for himself what kind of threat awaited him.Who was inside that sedan? What was their intention? The questions gnawed at him as he hesitated, waiting just a little longer. But as the seconds dragged on and the car didn’t move, a realization settled over him—it was likely because he was still in front of the White House. That alone could be the deterrent.Determined to test his theory, he took a few steps down the road, putting some distance between himself and the government building. He ha
