William Prime walked through the corridors with deliberate calm, but his mind was racing beneath his composed exterior. The previous night had been restless, and he did not feel comfortable with the idea of Abigail betraying Sebastian. She was a devoted employee who showed him respect for his nephew and was loyal to the company. Something was off, and it was bothering him like an itch that would not go away. He had to see for himself what was truly going on.William watched Abigail closely as the day went on, waiting for the ideal opportunity. When Abigail left her office for lunch at around noon, he knew that his patience had paid off. She moved sluggishly, as if she were carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, her gaze downcast and her mind clearly elsewhere. William seized the chance.He slipped into her office and quietly closed the door behind him, his heart pounding in his chest. His eyes scanned the room before settling on the phone on her desk. He paused for a mome
Sitting in her office was Abigail. As her thoughts spiraled, the room seemed smaller, with the walls closing in. She kept feeling as though time was running out. Her thoughts were still filled with the demands of the blackmailer, but there was also William. His earlier words lingered in her mind, a lifeline she wanted so much to hold onto. She felt more and more compelled to confide in him because he had given her an escape route. She had to tell him!She moved in the direction of the door, reaching for the handle, but her phone rang and stopped her cold. With her blood growing cold, Abigail gazed at the phone as though it were a poisonous snake. The caller ID was disabled. She hesitated, feeling a knot in her stomach tighten because she knew exactly who it was.When she lifted the phone and put it to her ear, her hand shook. The person on the other end had a detached, emotionless, and cold voice."Abigail, are you heading somewhere?" She shivered at the blackmailer's voice because it
With each breath she took, the threats from the blackmailer felt like chains around her neck. But now, even as she entered William's office, she was resolved to break free from those bonds, if only slightly.William's expression softened as he looked up from his desk and saw her. "Abigail." He said, standing up, "Please, sit down."After a brief moment of hesitation, she moved to the chair across from his desk. She sat down and tried to steady her hands by clasping them together. William observed her intently, perceiving her inner struggle."I appreciate that you met me." William spoke first, his tone soothing and collected. "I want you to know that you are not alone in this; I know it has been tough for you. We will deal with whatever comes up together."Abigail looked down at her hands, tears brimming in her eyes. "Sir," she started, her voice barely above a whisper, "I need to tell you something… something I should have told you a long time ago."William leaned closer, giving her h
After speaking with William, Abigail was more determined than ever. Every step she took was no longer met with the chilling grip of fear. She finally had a strong ally who could handle whatever came her way.As she arrived at her office, her phone buzzed and she recognized the name on the screen even though it was an unknown number.She answered after a brief moment of hesitation, her voice firm against the anxiety that tried to seep in. "What is it that you want?!”The blackmailer's voice was cold, calculated, and threatening. "You did not speak to the press, Abigail. You ignored my demand to expose Sebastian. Unwise decision."Abigail clenched her fist, her knuckles turning white as she struggled to maintain her voice. "I am done with your games! It will not work anymore, no matter how hard you try to frighten me."There was a deep laugh coming from the other end of the line. "You believe that you are safe because William Prime is on your side, right? Abigail, I have your secrets. I
Seated in the Prime family mansion's office, Sebastian's attention was fixed on the developing situation, and his mind was constantly buzzing with ideas. He was aware that they were almost done finding the blackmailer, and the excitement was eating away at him like a vicious beast.Just as Sebastian's thoughts began to drift toward the next steps, he was drawn to the sound of approaching footsteps. With a determined yet urgent expression, he looked up as Anthony walked into the room. Anthony walked up to the desk with a thick manila folder in his hands, not waiting for an invitation.Anthony spoke quietly but firmly, "Boss, I have what we need."Sebastian sat up straight, his eyes narrowing as he focused on the folder. "Are you certain?" His tone was measured as he asked, showing no signs of internal impatience.Anthony firmly nodded. "I have evidence to support my claim that Abigail is being blackmailed by Jonathan Page, our HR director. After some time, everything came together.”H
“Mr President? Mr. Vice? What is the issue, you summoned for a meeting this late.” One of the senior members said.Sebastian then made a gesture for them to be seated, as he did not want William Prime to be interrupted.William stood up slowly and deliberately, pocketing the flash drive. "You will be given a choice, Ms. Page," he said, his voice full of finality. "Resign quietly and this will remain between us. Or refuse, and I will make sure that every piece of evidence we have becomes public. The authorities will get involved, and your career, everything you have worked for, will be destroyed.“Ms. Page? What is going on here.” Another member whispered, looking lost.“I am lost myself, I do not know.” Another senior member responded.As the realization of the situation set in, Page's hands trembled and she clutched the chair's armrests. William Prime was not bluffing, as far as she knew. She would be wrecked if the evidence was made public. Accepting the deal, leaving in silence, a
Page's words lingered in the air, and Sebastian felt a cold knot form in his stomach. The room's mood had changed from one of shock to one of intense curiosity, and even fear. Who could have been the person who so skillfully manipulated Page?Senior members looked at each other, whispers growing as they attempted to piece together the information that had just been disclosed.As Ms. Page wiped the tears that were pouring down her face, her hands trembled. Her once commanding and powerful voice had become little more than a whisper. "The money was not the only factor... It was the assurance of status and power. He made me an offer to become Vice President of Prime Enterprises and a big sum of money.""Page, you were willing to betray everything, to take my place, and to push my nephew away as the president of this enterprise?" William Prime said slowly, his voice heavy with disappointment. What is it all for? Money? Power?”"What is his name?" Demanding in a frustrated tone, Mr. Foste
Ms. Page arrived at Prime Enterprises earlier than usual, her heart racing with a mixture of fear and resignation. The morning air was still crisp when she entered the towering structure, but she did not notice. The weight of her decisions and the consequences she knew would follow made every step she took toward her office feel heavier.Workers who had greeted her with respect a moment earlier avoided making eye contact as she walked down the hallway, their whispers barely audible. Her once-dominant presence had diminished to the level of mere office gossip, and she could feel the change in the air. She could not do anything to stop the humiliation that burned inside of her. Now that her bed was made, she was forced to lie in it.Upon arriving at her office, Ms. Page paused at the entrance. It felt like a tomb, this once-inviting room filled with awards and mementos of her accomplishments. The smell of leather and polished wood welcomed her for the final time as she pushed the door
