CHAPTER SEVENTY ONE
Finn sat in the corner office of Blackwell Tower, the city lights of Goldmere flickering against the glass panels like distant stars. The hum of servers and the soft whir of air conditioning filled the room, but it was the quiet tension in the office that held him captive. Ever since the ambulance accident and the news rumors about Ella, Finn’s mind had been on high alert. He knew someone had orchestrated both the crash and the media backlash. That person was careful, calculated, and cunning. Whoever it was, they were watching—and he intended to make them reveal themselves.Jessica moved silently behind him, her fingers deftly tapping on her tablet. “Sir, the media is still running stories. Analysts are predicting a further drop in Blackwell Group shares. The public backlash is growing,” she reported, eyes sharp.Finn didn’t respond immediately. His dark eyes scanned the trading graphs projected across the holographic displays. Red spikes. Plummeting values. Panic. Perfect. It meant t
CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO.
Hours passed in silence inside the Blackwell Tower control room. Finn sat in the captain’s chair, fingers steepled, eyes scanning live feeds of the three locations he had set up. The city outside glittered under the night sky, oblivious to the invisible war playing out in its veins. Red, yellow, and green markers blinked across the holographic maps on the display panels, each representing a piece of the carefully orchestrated trap. Jessica’s voice cut through the quiet. “Nothing so far, sir. All three locations are calm. Surveillance shows no movement beyond routine patterns.” Finn didn’t flinch. “Patience,” he said quietly. “They will act when they believe it is the right moment. The bait has been set, and one of them cannot resist.” Minutes stretched into an hour. Finn’s team monitored each channel with disciplined focus, but there was still no sign of the fir
CHAPTER SEVENTY THREE
Finn studied the monitors, his eyes sharp and calculating as the night deepened around the fake transfer site. The streets were empty, but the subtle hum of distant traffic and the occasional flicker of a streetlamp kept him alert. He had deployed his surveillance teams carefully, every camera, drone, and operative synchronized. Each movement was monitored, each shadow analyzed.“Everything is in place,” Jessica said softly, standing beside him, her hands folded, watching the live feeds with him.Finn nodded, barely acknowledging her, his mind racing through probabilities. “If the mastermind is bold enough, he will make a move tonight,” he said. “And if he does, he won’t even realize he is walking into the trap.” Three separate surveillance teams were deployed, each stationed at key points around the city. The first, the supposed safe house containing the “surviving truck driver,”
CHAPTER SEVENTY FOUR.
“What are you doing here?” Finn’s voice was calm but cold, the kind that cut through bravado and left no room for nonsense. The man standing before him, the truck driver who had caused Ella’s accident, laughed as if Finn’s question were a joke. “You think you’ve got it all figured out, huh?” the driver said, his voice mocking, sharp with arrogance. “While you’re plotting, your precious Ella is lying in a hospital bed. She’s in danger. You can’t do anything about it. You’re too late.” Finn’s eyes narrowed, unblinking. “Stop worrying about what you think I can’t do. Worry about yourself. Your little performance ends here.” The driver’s laughter faltered slightly as Finn’s men stepped forward, moving with precision. In seconds, the man was restrained, his wrists bound with reinforced cuffs, and his legs se
CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVE.
Finn Rowe stepped onto the stage, the bright lights of the press hall catching the sharp lines of his face. Rows of cameras were already trained on him, microphones extended, reporters murmuring questions to one another, trying to anticipate what he would say. The atmosphere was tense. Finn’s presence alone seemed to hush the crowd.He raised a hand, and the chatter died down instantly.“We have apprehended the men responsible for the recent accident and the sabotage against the Blackwell Group,” Finn began, his voice calm, deliberate, and confident. “They will fully cooperate with the authorities. Confessions are forthcoming. Those involved will face justice, and they will answer for their crimes.”A reporter called out. “Mr. Rowe, can you confirm that this includes the hospital attack?”“Yes,” Finn replied without a flicker of hesitation. “All individuals involved have been detained. Their coop
CHAPTER SEVENTY SIX: THE TRAP TIGHTENS.
The Trap Tightens.Finn stepped back from the basement room, his eyes scanning the three men strapped to the chairs. Their bodies were battered, burnt, bruised, and shivering from the first-degree tortures they had endured. Hot water, burning irons, every instrument of pain had been applied with precision. Not one of them had spoken. Not one had given him the name of the mastermind behind Ella’s accident. “You have a choice,” Finn said quietly. “Your lives… or the truth. Think carefully.” He turned on his heel and left the room. The echo of the basement doors closing behind him left the men in silence. Their breathing was ragged, their bodies trembling. Each of them realized the weight of his words, the ultimatum that had been delivered. Finn’s departure left them with only their thoughts and the searing memories of the pain they had endured. Minutes passed. Hours. The ba
SEVENTY SEVEN: THE MASTERMIND!!
"The mastermind turned out to be Mr Vale. Congratulations, Sir, you have really outdone yourself." Finn clapped his hands slowly, deliberately, letting the sound echo through the dimly lit warehouse. His gaze never wavered from the man before him. Mr Vale stood, his face twisted in rage, veins visible at his temples, his chest heaving. "Yes, it was only me," he spat. "I was the one who carried out this auspicious work. Ever since you came into our lives, Mr Rowe, you have ruined everything. My son is in prison because of you. That useless girl who would have become my daughter-in-law is also in prison because of you. Everything I have worked for, and everything my family has worked for, for generations, now belongs to you. How did it happen in just a twinkling of an eye, in just a split second? How can you rise to glory while I am falling into this disdain and shame? I refuse to allow that to happen. I refuse to allow you to win. I will do anything
SEVENTY EIGHT: BEHIND BARS!
The iron gates of the prison closed with a heavy metallic sound that echoed along the long corridor. Guards walked slowly along the narrow passage, their boots striking the concrete floor with dull rhythm. The air carried the scent of rust and cold stone. Inside one of the cells sat Mr Vale. The once powerful businessman no longer wore the polished suits that once commanded boardrooms. Instead he wore the dull uniform of a prisoner. Yet despite the circumstances, the anger in his eyes had not faded. If anything, it had grown sharper. Footsteps approached the cell. A guard unlocked the gate and allowed another inmate inside. The man stepped forward slowly, his expression dark but calm. It was Adrian. The gate slammed shut again, leaving the two men alone. For a moment neither of them spoke. Adrian studied Mr Vale carefully.
SEVENTY NINE: BLACKWELL MEDIA GROUP!
The large office on the top floor of the Blackwell headquarters carried an air of quiet authority. Dark polished wood covered the walls and the floor gleamed under the soft golden lights above. Behind the massive desk sat the patriarch of the Blackwell empire, Mr Blackwell. Finn Rowe stood calmly before him. For a moment the old man simply studied his grandson. His sharp eyes showed approval, though his expression remained disciplined and firm. Finally Mr Blackwell spoke. “You have done well, Finn.” Finn bowed his head slightly in acknowledgment. Mr Blackwell folded his hands together on the desk. “You faced the previous trial with intelligence and precision. You exposed the enemy, stabilized the situation and restored the reputation of the Blackwell name.” Finn remained silent, listening caref
EIGHTY: BLACKWELL MEDIA GROUP 2!
Finn stood silently for a moment after declaring his readiness. The atmosphere in the office remained heavy with importance. The responsibility placed before him was no small matter. He looked at Ivan. “There is something I need to know,” Finn said calmly. Ivan waited. “When will the bidding war end?” Ivan adjusted the tablet in his hand before answering. “It will conclude at the Meta Gala.” Finn raised an eyebrow slightly. “The Meta Gala?” Ivan nodded. “Yes. The news has already been announced to the public.” Mr Blackwell remained silent behind the desk, allowing Ivan to continue the explanation. Ivan spoke clearly. “The Meta Gala is the most exquis
