Morning came and Jared didn't return since the night before. He didn't answer his phone or call back. All he did was send a text. I read the text from Jared again, feeling a sinking in the pit of my stomach. What had he gotten himself into now?“Please, Margaret. I am sorry for all I have done earlier. I am sorry for yesterday as well. Please stop Sir Adam from firing me. Because he can.”As I tried to make sense of it all, there was a knock on the door, hoping it was Jared, I rushed and opened it to find a man standing there, dressed in a suit and hat. He bowed before speaking, "Good morning, Mrs. Mclintok, you have been called up to an outing by Sir Adam Webby. A car is waiting outside whenever you're ready. Take your time to prepare and get your daughter ready too." He handed me a bag. "In here are some clothing materials for you and your daughter.

Sean Winchester sat in the luxurious boardroom of Wells and Borne company, on the opposite side of the table were the dual CEOs, Governor Wells and Borne.

But please reconsider. 60 percent of your shares will take us off the board.” “I am the one with the money,” Sean said and folded his hands as he stared back. “Please!” The Governors chorused. "Okay, I will beat it down to 55 percent, but no less.

Sean opened his eyes, again, he felt like he had been dreaming again. But when he smelt his blood on his body, he knew the parts that were dreams and the parts that were real. He laid recumbent on the forest floor, with his eyes scanning the overhead trees that covered the sky, allowing little of the moon to fall on his face. He stood to his feet and realized that he felt no pain. Then the words of the system he activated came back to his head and remembered that he had been given another shot at life. A beeping sound followed and he saw the screen in his head. ***SYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENT*** ***YOU WILL SHUT DOWN IN THIRTY MINUTES*** After the notice, Sean saw the countdown happened, indicating 29:59. “What is happening? Am I dying?” Sean asked, his heart beating fast. ***NO Sean, YOU'RE NOT DYING.

He remembered the overwhelming sense of despair that had consumed him, the fleeting thoughts of ending his own life.

As he meticulously combed through the details of a particularly perplexing case, Caspian's phone rang, jolting him from his focused reverie.

The dimly lit alleyway was a hive of activity, with shadowy figures slinking in and out of sight like ghosts. Caspian, clad in a worn leather jacket and jeans with mackintosh boots, moved with calculated precision, his eyes scanning the area for any signs of danger. It was a risky move to go undercover in this dangerous territory, but he knew that in order to dismantle the black market operation that was funding corrupt politicians, he had to get his hands dirty.

Caspian looked up at Thompson, his eyes sharp with determination. "There's more to this than meets the eye, Senator. We need to dig deeper." Thompson nodded, his jaw clenched in frustration. "I never thought I'd see the day when my own colleagues would stab me in the back." As Caspian delved into the intricate

The scent of old books and faint traces of cigar smoke filled Caspian's office as he sorted through his latest case file that the governor gave him.

The dusty road that laid ahead stretched out before them, the wheels of their vehicle kicking up clouds of swirling sand in their wake. Caspian leaned back in his seat, the weight of their recent discovery weighing heavily on his mind. "So, finally, there we were," Caspian began in a voice low and intense. "At the Tomb of Gold, surrounded by ancient ruins and the lingering whispers of a forgotten civilization."
