Tonight, Windy sat in her study with a furrowed brow. The desk lamp illuminated the pile of documents and papers scattered in front of her. Her laptop screen displayed various pharmaceutical research journals that she had read many times over.This study was her favourite place in the house. The walls were lined with bookshelves filled with economics and business references. But lately, the shelves had begun to fill up with books on pharmacy and drug research.It wasn't because Windy liked them. It was because she was forced to study them.Windy sighed deeply and stared at her laptop screen.Six months ago, she was still the CEO of PT Wijaya Farma. The company she saved from bankruptcy. The company she developed into one of the largest in Delta City.But then, Felice and Raymond began to make their move.Slowly but surely, they undermined her position. They influenced her father. They spread rumours. They formed alliances with other directors.Windy was moved from her position as Chie

Kevin opened the door and got out of the car. He stood on the pavement, watching Windy's car drive away towards the company building.Once the car had disappeared from view, Kevin began walking leisurely towards the main entrance.Windy entered the basement car park and parked her car in the space allocated to her. She took her bag, made sure the folder containing the formula was inside, then walked towards the lift.On the seventh floor, Windy headed straight to her office. A woman in her thirties was waiting for her at the door."Good morning, Mrs Windy." The woman greeted her politely."Good morning, Ningrum." Windy replied as she opened the door to her office. "Come with me. We're going straight to the research department."Ningrum was Windy's personal assistant who had been working with her since she was still the CEO. This woman was loyal and trustworthy."The research department, ma'am?" Ningrum asked as she followed Windy inside. "Is this about the drug formula that has to be

"Windy, Windy." Kongsun whispered in a disgusting tone. "You have no other choice. If you want to stay in this company, if you want to regain your position, you have to work with me.""I will fight with my own abilities!" Windy shouted. "I don't need your help! I don't need my father's help! I will prove my own abilities!"She tried to move to the side, looking for a way out.But Kongsun was faster. His hand grabbed Windy's arm and pulled her closer."Let go!" Windy shouted as she tried to break free.Kongsun just laughed and tightened his grip.Windy saw a thick book on the nearby table. With her free hand, she grabbed it and pressed it against her chest as a shield."Don't touch me!" Windy shouted as loud as she could.Kongsun chuckled even more."Shout all you want." He whispered with a tone of satisfaction. "This room is soundproof. I installed it on purpose. No one will hear you."Windy felt her hopes crumble.Soundproof. Locked. No one could help her.But she didn't give up. She

"Are there any other instructions, Young Master?"Kevin thought for a moment."Buy shares from the other minority shareholders at Wijaya Farma as well." Kevin ordered. "As many as possible. I want to become the majority shareholder.""I understand, Young Master. It will be done.""How long will it take?""To destroy Kongsun's business and take over his shares at Wijaya Farma?" The secretary paused to think. "With the resources Young Master possesses, I can have it finished within twenty-four hours."Twenty-four hours.To destroy a business empire built over decades."Do it now." Kevin commanded."Yes, Young Master. I will begin immediately."Kevin ended the call and stared at the sky, which had already begun to darken.Tonight was going to be a long night for Kongsun.***In his office, Kongsun sat with a face still flushed from anger and humiliation. The events of that morning kept revolving in his mind.That young man. The young man who had kicked down his door and taken Windy away.

The car carrying Kevin sped through the streets of Delta City, which had already begun to quiet down in the evening. The city lights blinked in the distance, creating a beautiful sight that Kevin paid no attention to.His thoughts were still fixed on Windy, who was sleeping at home. The trauma from what had happened with Kongsun must still be lingering.Kevin had to do something to help her."Sir," Kevin spoke to the driver, one of the subordinates belonging to the God of Knowledge's secretary, "please stop at the nearest traditional herbal medicine shop."The driver nodded. "Yes, Young Master."A few minutes later, the car pulled up in front of a traditional herbal medicine shop that was still open despite the late hour. Its signboard read "Sinar Sehat Herbal Shop" with a flickering neon light.Kevin stepped out of the car and entered the shop.The interior was filled with wooden shelves holding all manner of traditional medicinal ingredients. The aroma of spices and medicinal plants
