The words accompanying the gruesome image were as chilling as the picture itself."If the traitor does not reveal themselves, I will order my men to harm your children," the message read, its tone as cold and calculated as Jeremy's.The members looked at one another in shock, their eyes pleading for answers.A heavy pause lingered in the room as the members looked at one another, their eyes searching for any sign of who the traitor might be.Suddenly, a sound pierced the silence, shattering the fragile peace.It was a loud sound as if someone had stumbled or collapsed to the ground.All eyes turned to see who had made the noise, their hearts pounding in their chests as they prepared for the worst.And there, amid the group, lay one of the board members, his face contorted in agony, his fingers twisted and bloody.The collapsed board member started convulsing on the ground. The reason for this was a small, ornate dagger he was holding, which was covered in his blood. The other members
The leader of the special forces unit gave a crisp, authoritative command, his voice ringing out in the tense boardroom, "Keep still everyone!"With the members of the squad standing at attention, their posture rigid and their expressions hardened, the leader approached Jeremy with a military bearing that spoke of discipline and respect."Morning sir," he said, his tone deferential yet resolute.Jeremy returned the greeting, his demeanor cool and collected as he surveyed the special forces."I'm Lieutenant John Mark, the commander of the no-nonsense squad sir. We are here in response to the urgent call for assistance, young master," he said, his voice calm and controlled. "Your father's legacy is of utmost importance to the Nathaniel family, and we will do everything in our power to protect it." The commander said. "Yes your attention is needed to catch the traitor who sold your pioneer, my father out to his enemies," Jeremy said with a stern voice. members of the board stood frozen
The room erupted in chaos as the soldiers captured the newly identified traitors, their movements swift and merciless.The sound of bodies being thrown against the walls and the cries of the traitors filled the air.Jeremy stood like a wrathful god, his gaze sweeping over the room with a chilling intensity."You will pay for your treachery," he declared, his voice filled with fury. "The Kaidens will not escape justice, even if I have to tear the world apart to find them."Jefferson in all his years of experience had never seen such a display of wisdom like Jeremy had shown. He stood there motionless watching the scene unfolding before him with much reverence for Jeremy. Jeremy's anger was obvious in his face, he turned to the five men who had been identified as traitors, their faces now a mix of fear and terror."My father, who has served this company with honor and dedication, was betrayed by men he thought were his allies," he said, his voice a low, dangerous growl.The soldiers fo
Everyone’s eyes were on the five traitors. They all looked really scared. The one who was most stubborn was bleeding a lot from his cut finger."Please, I'm losing blood!" the stubborn traitor pleaded, his voice desperate as he tried to staunch the flow of blood from his wounded finger.But Jeremy was unmoved, his face a mask of hardened determination as he replied with a harsh, unforgiving tone."You will receive treatment when you finish talking," he said, his gaze like a lance of ice. "Until then, we will all watch you bleed to death."His words hung heavy in the air, an obvious threat that sent a chill through the room.As the blood continued to drip from the stubborn traitor's finger, a low murmur of discontent rippled through the crowd, the gravity of Jeremy's threat sinking in.But the stubborn traitor, his eyes suddenly flashed with stubborn determination again, refused to give in."I will never talk," he spat, his words a challenge as he met Jeremy's gaze head-on.And in resp
The traitors were led away, their heads hung low as they were marched from the room in shame. Jeremy turned to face Jefferson, his expression dark and determined."We need to know who wanted my father dead," he said, his voice low and intense. "We need to know who our true enemy is."Jefferson nodded, his eyes alight with a mixture of respect and concern."I'll see to it personally, young master," he said, bowing low."This is just the beginning," Jeremy said, his voice hard and determined. "There are still enemies lurking in the shadows. We need to expose them, root them out before they can strike again.Jefferson nodded, understanding the gravity of the task before them."We will use every resource at our disposal, young master," he said, his voice filled with confidence. "The Nathaniel name will not be tarnished by traitors and murderers."As Jeremy turned to leave, the remaining board members quickly stepped forward, their heads bowed in respect and deference."Please, young mast
As Jeremy steered his car along the winding road that led home, his mind raced with possible scenarios for breaking the news to Avery. He knew he had to tell her the truth, but the thought of her anger and disappointment made his stomach churn."Avery, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner," he muttered under his breath, trying out a possible opener. He winced at the insufficiency of the words, knowing they wouldn't begin to make amends.He considered other possibilities, but each one seemed more feeble than the last, unable to convey the depth of his remorse."Avery, there's something I've been keeping from you, and it's been eating away at me.""I know I should have told you sooner, but I was afraid of how you'd react.""I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark. I never wanted to hurt you like this.""I made a mistake, Avery, and I take full responsibility for it. I hope you can forgive me.""I know this might be hard to hear, but I have to be honest with you.Jeremy pulled into the drive
"Avery!" Jeremy called after her, his voice echoing through the room. But Avery was already too upset, and she refused to stop."I need some time to myself," she declared, her voice thick with emotion. But before she could walk away, she saw Mia approaching, her innocent eyes full of curiosity. With lightning speed, Avery wiped the tears from her eyes, forcing a smile for her daughter's sake.Mia's eyes were filled with concern as she looked up at her mother. "Mummy, is everything okay?" she asked, her voice a gentle whisper.Avery forced another smile, her voice quivering with emotion. "Everything's fine, my darling," she said. "Just go to your room and pack some things. We're going on a little vacation, just the two of us."Mia's face lit up at the prospect of a holiday. "With Daddy too?" she asked, her eyes shining with excitement."No, sweetheart," Avery replied, her voice softening as she smoothed Mia's hair. "Just you and me. Daddy's got a new job, and he'll be very busy for a w
"You incompetent fool!" Martin Kaiden roared, his face contorted in a mask of fury. "How dare you send such bumbling idiots to carry out our orders?"Edward Baron cowered before him, his head bowed low as he pleaded for mercy. "I-I'm so sorry, sir. They were among our best. I don't know what went wrong."Martin walked towards Edward, his rage a tangible force in the air. With a brutal hand, he slapped Edward's face, the sound echoing through the room."That," Martin hissed, his eyes blazing with anger, "is what went wrong."Edward's hand rose to his stinging cheek, his body shaking with a mixture of fear and shame. "I beg your forgiveness, boss," he stammered, his voice hoarse with emotion. "I won't fail you again."Martin loomed over him, his voice cold and full of threat. "There won't be a next time, Edward," he warned, a cruel smirk twisting his lips. "I expect results, not excuses.""How am I supposed to face my grandfather after this failure?" Martin Kaiden sneered, the scorn in
