Judas's voice dropped to a whisper, his words laced with pain. "You knew I was vulnerable, Matthew. You knew I was struggling to keep up with Tyler's schemes. But you didn't care. You only cared about saving yourself, about maintaining your own power and status."Matthew's face contorted in anguish, his eyes streaming with tears. "I know, Judas. I know I was wrong. But please, please forgive me. I'll do anything to make it right, to regain your trust."Judas's expression remained unyielding, his eyes cold and unforgiving. "Forgiveness isn't that easy, Matthew. You broke our bond, our brotherhood. You broke my heart.""But you're willing to forgive me, that's what you said earlier," Matthew said, his voice laced with desperation, his eyes clinging to Judas's face. "You said you're going to give me a chance and help me."Judas's expression remained skeptical, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Yeah, I'm not like you, Matthew. I won't allow Tyler to run the company just because of your mistak

Stella POV After finishing my work in my study, I made my way out of the office and walked straight to the room where Stella and I were supposed to share. But I had left the room for her alone, as she hadn't been comfortable with me around. As I entered the room, I saw some pictures scattered on the floor. I walked fully inside and picked up the pictures, my heart racing with anticipation.But as I looked at the images, my blood boiled with anger and my eyes turned red with rage. The people in the pictures made my heart burn with fury. "What the hell is going on? Stella in Bryan's arms?" I yelled, my voice thundering through the room.I felt a surge of jealousy and betrayal, my mind racing with thoughts of Stella and Bryan together. I couldn't believe it. Stella, the woman I loved, in the arms of my brother, my enemy. It was too much to bear.I paced back and forth in the room, my anger and frustration building with each passing moment.

The room fell silent, with all eyes locked on the door, their faces filled with curiosity and a hint of surprise. Who could be interrupting their meeting? The air was thick with anticipation as they waited to see who would dare to barge in. And then, a feminine voice cut through the silence, her tone confident and apologetic all at once. "Sorry for just barging in, Sir," she called out from the entrance, her voice husky and smooth, like honey.As she spoke, the clicking of her heels against the floorboard of the office echoed through the room, a staccato beat that seemed to match the rhythm of their racing hearts. The sound grew louder with each step, her presence commanding attention. She walked into the office with a sense of purpose, her heels clicking authoritatively on the polished wood floor. The soft rustle of her clothes, the gentle sway of her hips, and the subtle scent of her perfume all combined to create an aura of confidence and poise.As she approached, the faces in the
Tyler's scowl was a warning, a fierce glower that seemed to darken the air around him. His eyes blazed with a fierce intensity, his voice low and menacing as he growled, "Whatever you have to say concerning Matthew and the death of your parents has to stay between us." The words hung in the air like a challenge, a threat that seemed to vibrate with an undercurrent of violence.In seconds, he was on his feet, his movements swift and predatory as he backed away from his desk and headed straight for Sanya. His eyes seemed to bore into her very soul, his gaze a piercing lance that seemed to pin her to the spot. Sandra, sensing the danger, sprang into action, her movements swift and decisive as she inserted herself between Tyler and Sanya.She stood tall, her eyes flashing with a fierce protectiveness, her hands held out in a calming gesture as she faced Tyler down. "Hey, Tyler, let's talk about this," she said, her voice soft and soothing, yet laced with a steel that brooked no argument.
Sanya's eyes narrowed, her annoyance palpable as she leaned forward, her elbows on the desk, her hands clasped together in a tight grip. Her gaze was intense, her eyes locked on Tyler's with an unspoken challenge. "Is that important?" she asked, her voice low and even, but laced with a hint of irritation.Tyler's jaw clenched, his teeth gritted in response to Sanya's confrontational demeanor. "The whereabouts of my source remains my business," he growled, his eyes flashing with a hint of defensiveness. "I'm not some rookie journalist who reveals their sources without a fight."Sanya's expression didn't waver, her eyes still boring into Tyler's. "I have no business with regards to where you had gotten your information," she continued, her voice measured, but with an undercurrent of tension. "All I'm asking is to know whether or not you have gotten such information from a good and reliable source."Tyler's eyes narrowed, his gaze locked on Sanya's, the air between them thick with unspok
"You seem to have a penchant for running away, and right now I'm seizing such opportunities from you," Matthew said, his voice dripping with a cold, calculating finality. The words hung in the air like a death sentence, leaving no room for escape or reprieve. Sanya's father and Tyler exchanged a desperate glance, their eyes screaming for a way out, but Matthew's grip on their fate was unforgiving.As Matthew spoke, the camera panned out, revealing the ominous landscape unfolding before them. They stopped in front of a dark opening, a cavernous maw that seemed to swallow the light around them. The air grew thick with an eerie, primal energy, as if the very earth itself was watching their descent into the depths. Then, they began advancing lower, their footsteps echoing off the cold, damp walls of the caves ahead.The scene was like a descent into the underworld, with Matthew as their grim guide. The darkness seemed to writhe and twist around them, alive with malevolent intent. Sanya's
Sanya's eyes locked onto Tyler's, her gaze frozen in a mixture of confusion and concern. Her mind raced with a whirlwind of thoughts, memories, and emotions, rendering her speechless. The silence between them grew thicker, heavy with unspoken words. The sounds around them - the gentle hum of the air conditioner, the distant chirping of birds - faded into the background as Sanya's inner turmoil took center stage. Tyler's voice, firm but gentle, sliced through the cacophony in her mind, jolting her back to reality. "I need a response," he said, his eyes searching hers for a glimmer of understanding. Sanya's lips parted, but no words emerged. She felt like a ship without anchor, lost in a sea of uncertainty. Tyler's expression softened, his voice taking on a reassuring tone. "You have nothing to worry about, I can assure you that," he continued, his words dripping with sincerity. His eyes crinkled at the corners as he offered a warm smile, trying to coax her back from the brink of her i
