Justin leaned back in his chair, his eyes were fixed on the first draft of the intended publication projected on the screen. It was full of carefully convoluted lies and carefully selected truths, which was a sloppy job designed to tarnish his reputation. “This matter is a bomb waiting to explode,” he muttered as he rubbed his temples. Mark stood by the window and glanced at his boss. “We cannot reveal them. It is not just your reputation. But also the credibility of the company is at risk.”Justin nodded, already formulating a plan. “Get the PR team in here. We are flipping this narrative before they even have a chance to hit ‘publish.” Within the hour, Justin’s office buzzed with activity. His head of public relations, Karen, arrived with a laptop and a stack of files. “This is bad,” Karen said, scanning the draft. “But not unmanageable. We can focus on the inconsistencies, discredit the sources, and challenge the timeline. If we act fast, we can render the article useless.” “

Sitting in a dimly lit corner of the office, the soft glow of the office lights lit up Justin's face. His mind drifted to the latest events. Ethan had continued to play the long game, masterfully proving himself to be a threat on both a personal and professional level. But now the tide has turned. One thing that is clear is that someone in Justin's inner circle is feeding Ethan information. The betrayal was much more sinister than he initially realized.He had already seen signs of betrayal from within his team, whispers, slight shifts in allegiance, the tension within his team . All of this has been built up to this day. Justin had dealt with enemies outside the company before, but this? This is different. This is a personal matter. His own team are playing with him. And he needed to take out the traitor before it was too late.The day began with a sense of urgency. Mark just sent Justin documents that would change everything. It's a series of documents, emails, wire transfers,

The steady hum of Justin’s office was interrupted by the soft chime of his personal phone. Mark, standing by the desk with a file in hand, paused mid-sentence as Justin glanced at the screen. His expression hardened when he saw the caller ID: Lilly.“It’s her,” Justin muttered, more to himself than to Mark.Mark raised an eyebrow but said nothing, slipping out of the room to give his boss privacy. Justin hesitated for a moment before answering. “Lilly.”Her voice, familiar yet distant, came through the line. “Justin... we need to talk. Can we meet?”Justin leaned back in his chair, suspicion flickering across his face. “Why now? Last time we spoke, it wasn’t exactly on good terms.”“I know,” she said, her tone tinged with guilt. “But it’s important. Please, Justin. Just hear me out.”He could detect the urgency in her voice, but years of guarded interactions made him wary. “Where?”“There’s a café downtown. The one near where we used to….” She stopped herself, as though the memories w

The atmosphere in Justin's office was full of anticipation as Mark walked into the room, a phone pressed to his ear. Justin sat at the table, looking at the clock, calmly reviewing the projection. This was the moment they had been waiting for, Victor Hargrove's final verdict. Mark hung up the phone, a wide smile appearing on his face. “It's done. Hargrove just informed Ethan’s board that he’s pulling his investment.” Justin leaned back in his chair, a flicker of satisfaction crossing his features. “That’ll send shockwaves through Ethan’s operations. Hargrove’s withdrawal isn’t just about the money, it’s a statement. Others will start questioning their allegiance to him.” “And the best part?” Mark added. “Hargrove made sure his concerns were documented. Ethan’s leadership is going to have a hard time spinning this.” Justin nodded, his mind already shifting to the next phase. “This will hit Ethan hard, but we need to be prepared for his retaliation. He won’t take this lying down.”

The tension in Justin’s conference room was palpable. Documents littered the long mahogany table, each file representing another front in the legal assault Ethan had launched. The walls, adorned with achievements from Justin’s empire, now seemed to close in on him as his legal team dissected the lawsuits that threatened to undermine everything he’d built.Rebecca Langston, Justin's astute and tireless general counsel; standing at the head of the table, her sharp gaze swept across the room as she tapped a thick folder on the palm of her hand.“Ethan's allies couldn't stand it,” Rebecca began. “They have sued in many jurisdictions. Breach of contract, Alleged breach of fiduciary duty, and even whispering about antitrust concerns. They came at us hard and fast. and tried to overwhelm us before we could form a strong defense.” Mark sat next to Justin and clenched his fists.“This reeks of Morton’s handiwork. He’s always had a vendetta against us, and with Ethan backing him, they’re a da
