The sound of a car door opening broke the quiet of the night.A man stepped into the back seat and slammed the door shut. Before he could even sit properly, he turned angrily toward Liza.“What are you thinking?” he snapped. “How dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who I am?”Liza kept her eyes on the road. Her hands were tight on the steering wheel.“I’m really sorry,” she said quickly. “I was angry when you asked me to send money again. That’s why I spoke that way.”The man scoffed and leaned back in the seat, not caring about her apology or his surroundings.Before he could say another word, someone suddenly grabbed him from behind.A cloth was pressed tightly over his face.“Mmhh—!” he struggled, but it was too late.The car swerved sharply as Liza drove off the road and into a quiet path hidden by trees.Minutes later, the car stopped.Alex dragged the man out roughly. His hands were already tied, and his body was weak from the struggle.“Move,” Alex said coldly as he push

Morrison and Karvel walked quietly toward the car parked in front of the office building. The morning air was cool, and the street was still calm. Morrison moved ahead and opened the car door respectfully for Karvel.“Thank you,” Karvel said softly as he entered the driver’s seat.Morrison closed the door and walked around to the other side, entering the passenger seat. Karvel started the engine, and the car moved smoothly onto the road.For a few minutes, neither of them spoke. The sound of the engine filled the silence.Then Morrison turned slightly and looked at Karvel.“Young Master,” he said carefully, “do you think Alex will be at home by this time?”Karvel kept his eyes on the road.“I’m not sure,” he replied honestly. “Let’s get there first before we assume anything.”Morrison nodded. He could feel the tension in the car. This visit was not a friendly one, even if it was being treated that way on the surface.As they drove, Karvel’s thoughts were heavy. After some time, the c

Elena was just coming out of the meeting, with Richard beside her.“You see, everyone is here, and they have already given us the project. Now it is left for you to take over,” Richard said.“Thank you so much, Uncle, for this opportunity and for believing in me,” Elena said.“It’s fine. If you need any support, make sure you call me. I will be back tomorrow,” Richard said.“Okay then,” Elena replied and walked back into her office.Richard walked out.Margaret walked into the office with anger burning in her eyes. Her steps were fast and heavy, and the door slammed shut behind her.“What did you think you were doing?” she shouted. “After everything you’ve done, you still dared to come back here? You’ve already brought this company down!”Elena, who had been sitting quietly behind the desk, slowly stood up. She looked calm, but her heart was beating fast. She faced Margaret without fear.“Grandma,” Elena said, trying to stay respectful, “I’m not here to destroy the company. I’m here t

A taxi stopped by the side of the road.A man and a woman quickly opened the doors and got inside. The taxi driver started the engine and drove off immediately without looking back.Inside the taxi, the man and the woman were both busy with their phones. Their heads were down, and they did not notice anything strange at first. The car kept moving, passing streets they did not recognize.Minutes passed.The woman finally looked up and frowned. She glanced outside through the window, then looked at the man beside her.“This is not the way,” she said slowly.The man looked up too. His face changed.“Driver,” he said loudly, “where are you taking us?”The driver did not answer.The car moved faster.“Stop!” the woman shouted. “This is not where we are going!”The driver still said nothing. Instead, he pressed harder on the accelerator. The speed of the taxi increased.Fear filled the car.“What is happening?” the man asked nervously.Before either of them could do anything, the taxi sudde

Florida walked quickly toward Karvel the moment she saw him coming down the hallway. Her heels clicked on the polished floor, her face tight with worry and anger mixed together.“What happened?” she asked, stopping right in front of him. “Where have you been? You’ve been going up and down this company like a stranger. I told you before, if there is anything you want, anything at all, just tell me.”Karvel opened his mouth to reply, but before a single word could come out, Morrison stepped forward. He stood straight, his voice calm but firm.“Young Master,” Morrison said politely, “people are waiting for you. The meeting is about to start. You should come now and attend to the business matters.”Florida turned sharply to look at Morrison. Her eyes flashed with irritation.“Can’t you see I’m talking to my husband?” she snapped. “Step aside.”Morrison did not raise his voice, nor did he bow his head. He simply adjusted his glasses and answered, “You don’t need to be angry, Miss— or shoul
