The ConfrontationThe words echoed in Emma's mind, a haunting whisper that held her rooted to the spot.

She was trapped between his loyalty and the inescapable shadow of her past.As Victor studied her face, his brows creased with worry, he reached out, gently cupping her face. “Emma, talk to me. Don’t let this poison us. Whatever you’re holding back… let it out. We can face it.”She felt her throat tighten, her resolve wavering. How could she tell him?

This deal was the deadliest choice he’d ever had to make.As he ran his hand through his hair, the door creaked open, and Emma stepped in.

The Deadly DealVictor paced the length of his office, his fingers pressing against his temples as he tried to make sense of it all. His empire, the one he had built with blood, sweat, and sleepless nights, was hanging by a thread, threatened by an alliance he never saw coming. Maria, the woman who had once been his ally, now aligned herself with his most ruthless competitor, someone powerful enough to crush everything he held dear.

Refuse, and you’ll watch it all burn.*A wave of anger surged through him, mingling with something much darker, a helplessness he hadn’t felt in years.

The Enemy WithinThe soft glow of the city lights seeped through Victor’s office window, casting shadows across his face as he reviewed the latest reports. His jaw tightened, and each page he flipped through made his blood run colder. There were details in these files, things he hadn’t disclosed, things only someone very close to him would know.The words of his rival echoed in his mind: “You think you can outsmart me, Victor? You have no idea how deep this goes. Someone from your circle is helping me, feeding me everything I need to bring you down.”Victor slammed the file shut and leaned back, pinching the bridge of his nose, his mind racing. The thought that someone within his ranks, someone he trusted, was betraying him was a twisting knife in his gut. His gaze drifted to the door just as Emma entered, her brow creased with worry.“Victor,” she started, her voice soft yet firm. “You’ve been shutting me out all day. What’s going on?”He let out a heavy sigh, glancing away. “I don’t

The Master PlanVictor leaned back in his chair, his gaze drifting to Emma as she paced in front of his desk, her expression fierce with determination. Their earlier tension had softened but not disappeared; trust was shaky, held together by the shared goal of stopping their enemies. He watched her as she formulated a plan, the fire in her eyes reminding him why he had fallen for her. But now wasn’t the time for sentiment.“We need to get close to whoever the mole is,” Emma said, finally stopping her pacing. “And the only way to do that is to bring in someone from your past.” Her words were firm, but Victor could sense her hesitation. She knew what she was asking.He raised an eyebrow, his expression hardening. “And who do you have in mind?”She met his gaze, her voice steady. “Anthony Reid.”Victor’s jaw tightened. Anthony was an old friend from his early days in business, a sharp mind but someone he hadn’t spoken to in years. They’d parted ways over a deal that went south, and trust
