Antonio stared at it for a moment.Then, another notification arrived—this one a video.His thumb hovered over the screen. He hesitated but he pressed it anyway.The footage was short, vertical, and raw. The camera wavered slightly, as though held by an unsteady hand or someone who didn’t care enough to keep it still. In the background, there was a faint echo of footsteps and a dripping pipe.And then came a male voice. It was Greg’s.The image sharpened. Greg crouched beside Liora with his expensive shirt sleeves rolled to the elbow, his face caught in the dim light. He looked nothing like the glossy magazine covers that had once idolized him—no practiced smile, no tailored poise. Just the cruel, bare edge of a man stripped of decency.“Look at her,” Greg whispered, leaning closer to the lens as though the camera were his audience. “You think the world can buy you back after this?”He smirked faintly, his fingers brushing Liora’s cheek with mock tenderness.Liora was trembling w

The warehouse smelled of dust and oil and a faint sweetness of something spilled days ago. Fluorescent lights hummed above Liora’s head like a warning. For a long, stretched second after the door slammed, she had no voice but a slow, mechanical awareness: the hard soles on concrete, the scrape of a boot, and the soft click of something metallic. Greg’s laugh came from the other room—low and self-satisfied, the kind of sound a man makes when he’s convinced the world still bends to him. He didn’t need an audience; he’d already made a play of it for himself.“I’ll make sure everyone sees you for what you are,” he said somewhere beyond the thin wall. “What a cheap joke!"Liora’s hands pulled uselessly against the restraints for a moment—then she closed her eyes and breathed. Panic leaked out in short, bright bursts that followed no rhyme. Her mind had only one shape for the next few seconds: buy time, gather information, survive until rescue. She trained herself not to shout, but

Liora had been looking forward to a quiet afternoon at the farm. One moment the driver was guiding the car up the gravel lane beneath the jacarandas, and the next, there were shadowed figures fanning out from the trees. A rifle barked, the driver’s hands jerked, a man’s body folded with the awful inevitability of a puppet whose strings were suddenly cut. Liora felt herself being hauled out of the car, and a rough hand clamping over her mouth until the taste of dust filled her mouth. They moved fast and efficient—no hesitation, no theatrics—and in less than three breaths she was shoved into a van and blindfolded. The engine hummed, the vehicle pitched, and she was gone from the world she knew. Now she stood in a bare, concrete room smelling faintly of oil and old coffee, her wrists bound, the gag in place. She had spent her life negotiating tight spaces—boardrooms, budgets, medical ethics—yet nothing in her training had taught her how to take in a man’s shape in the half-li

The man’s tone was urgent, laced with anger.“He’s the one,” the caller continued. “The same bastard who tried to snatch my woman! You understand what I’m saying, don’t you? I want you to work with this information immediately. Track him down. I don’t care how you do it, just make sure Antonio Morris regrets ever crossing me.”There was a pause and the man’s breathing grew heavier.“Good. I’ll send you the details once I leave the building.”Florence’s eyes widened. Someone wanted to harm Antonio — badly.When the call ended, she held her breath, hoping the man would walk away so she could slip unnoticed into the restroom. But fate had other plans.The man turned — and his gaze met hers.For a moment, the world seemed to stop. Shock registered on his face instantly, and his expression flickered from surprise to suspicion.Florence straightened instinctively, her heart pounding.He was tall, broad-shouldered, dressed in an expensive navy suit that did little to hide the tension in his

CHAPTER 13From the moment Antonio entered, escorted by two ushers in white tuxedos, the entire hall turned toward him. Murmurs rippled through the audience like a current of awe.Some men in tailored suits and women in elegant gowns, recognizing Antonio from television, subtly leaned in for a better look as cameras flashed relentlessly around them.Liora who was looking radiant in a sapphire gown, walked by his side. She had worked tirelessly for this moment — to ensure that Antonio wasn’t just seen as a man who discovered a miracle drug, but as a national treasure.“Ladies and gentlemen,” the host’s voice boomed through the hall, drawing everyone’s attention to the grand stage, “tonight, we gather to honor brilliance — to celebrate the one man whose discoveries have rewritten the future of medicine. Please welcome Mr. Antonio Morris — the sole and most sought-after health personnel in the entire nation!”Applause erupted instantly.The sound echoed against the marble walls, rising
