Elena and Julian walked out of the elevator and stepped into the grand lobby of Sterling Group. Before they could even catch their breath, the Raymond family rushed toward them with bright, eager smiles."Did you sign it?" Mrs. Raymond asked, her eyes shining with happiness. "Can we finally move into our new mega-mansion?"The dark, twisted look on Elena’s face stopped them dead in their tracks.Mrs. Raymond rushed forward, grabbing Elena’s arm in a panic. "Elena! Tell me what happened! Why do you look like that?"Elena gritted her teeth, tears of pure rage burning in her eyes."It is all that good-for-nothing Lucas!" Elena snapped, her voice shaking with hatred. "That useless beggar came here and bewitched Natalie! He tricked her, and she went ahead and revoked our contract!"Raymond stepped forward, his face turning a dark, ugly shade of red. He slammed his fist against a pillar, cursing loudly that people around them turned to stare."That ungrateful bastard!" Raymond roared, vein

Elena stared in shock as the two-billion-dollar contract documents were violently ripped to pieces right before her eyes. Her entire body began to tremble uncontrollably, sweat breaking out across her forehead as tears of sheer, agonizing disbelief welled up in her wide, bulging eyes. Her manicured jaw dropped open in disbelief as she watched the scraps scatter over the mahogany desk like worthless autumn leaves.The contract that was supposed to elevate her company into high society, crush her rivals, and crown her as the wealthiest woman in the entire province lay completely destroyed in a matter of seconds.She stared down at Lucas's bandaged leg with intense, venomous hatred, her beautiful face contorting into rage. She drew her hand back, clenched her fingers into a tight, violent fist, and rushed forward with all her remaining strength to hit him directly where he was injured.Before her hand could even touch his skin, Natalie reacted immediately, slamming her palm down on an e

Julian’s face froze for a brief second, but as his eyes registered Lucas sitting comfortably in the CEO’s grand mahogany chair, his stunned silence shattered into a burst of loud, booming laughter. The sound echoed off the glass walls of the executive office, sharp and full of mocking contempt.He tossed his head back, shaking his shoulders as if he had just witnessed the funniest joke in the world. "Look at this pathetic worm!" Julian gasped out, wiping a tear of fake laughter from his eye as he pointed a trembling finger at the desk. "He actually bribed a building cleaner, snuck onto the executive floor while the real Chairman was away, and threw on a tailored suit just to play dress-up!"Elena’s initial fear transformed into a fiery, venomous rage that turned her face bright red. She took two aggressive steps forward, her high heels clicking loudly against the marble floor, and thrust a manicured finger straight toward Lucas's face."You sick, desperate stalker!" Elena screamed at

The early morning sun poured over the city skyline, painting the glass skyscrapers in brilliant shades of gold. A Mercedes-Maybach glided effortlessly down the bustling boulevard, its black body reflecting the morning light.Inside the car, Julian rested one hand on the steering wheel, a suave, relaxed smile plastered across his face. Sitting in the passenger seat beside him, Elena checked her reflection in the vanity mirror, smoothing down her designer business suit with trembling excitement.In her lap sat a folder containing the execution copies of her company's profile. Today was the day her entire life would change forever. In less than an hour, she would sign the $2 billion contract with Sterling Group and officially step onto the grand stage as the richest, most influential woman in the province.Julian stole a sly, calculating glance at her from behind his designer sunglasses. Beneath his charming facade, a dark, sinister plot churned relentlessly in his mind."Look at you, El

Elena’s hand trembled so violently that her phone almost slipped from her manicured fingers. The champagne glass in her other hand tilted, spilling liquid on her silk dress, but she didn't even notice."R-Revoked?" Elena stuttered, her voice cracking as the color drained completely from her face. "Canceled?! No, there must be some terrible mistake! We are supposed to sign tomorrow morning!""The decision comes directly from the Chairman's Office, Miss Elena," the cold voice replied deadpan over the receiver. "There is no mistake. Good evening."The line went dead with a harsh click.Elena stood frozen in the middle of the luxurious living room, her eyes wide with terror. The world felt as if it were collapsing beneath her high heels."Elena, darling? What is it?" Mrs. Raymond asked, setting her glass down as her smile faltered. "What did they say?""T-They canceled it," Elena whispered, her body shaking uncontrollably. "They said the Chairman’s Office canceled the entire two-billion-d

A sob tore from Lucas’s throat as he writhed on the floor. The agonizing impact against the metal bed frame had shattered his already fractured leg, sending fresh waves of searing fire shooting straight up his body. Blood quickly soaked through his white cotton bandages, pooling out on the floor around his trembling frame. "Mother... Mother..." Lucas gasped out, his bloody fingers clawing frantically against the slippery floor tiles as he tried to drag his shattered body toward the door. "Hold on... please hold on... I'm coming...""Chairman! Stop! You're going to destroy your leg completely!" Natalie shrieked, her voice cracking with terror. She dropped her phone onto the mattress, dropped to her knees in the pool of blood, and wrapped her arms gently around his chest. "Please, Sir, lie still! I beg of you!""Let me go, Natalie!" Lucas screamed."I am checking on her right now, Sir! Please let me help you back onto the bed first!" Natalie pleaded, her own tears spilling down her che
