GALE'S HOUSE

The TV had turned into an annoying, flashing thing in the living room — loud, bright, and constantly shouting Scott Grayson’s name.

Gale kept flipping channels, like he was trying to drown out the sight of that smug face. One silent click after another, hoping to find anything that didn’t show Scott looking calm and proud — the man who’d taken what Gale thought belonged to them.

But Scott was everywhere: headlines, news feeds, talking heads acting like he’d done something miraculous just by taking what belongs to him.

Finally Gale snapped the remote. It flew out of his hand, spun across the room, and hit the wall with a sharp crack. Plastic bits scattered onto the floor.

Gale didn’t move to pick up the pieces. He just watched them fall, then slammed his fist into the coffee table. The wood made a deep, hollow sound. He looked like a man who’d spent his life fighting his way up — and suddenly realized someone had stolen what he’d earned.

“Why his face?” Gale growled. I

    DAMIAN'S HOUSE The day had dragged on far longer than Damian would have liked.By the time he left the office, the sun was already dipping low behind the skyline. His head throbbed faintly from hours of meetings, unanswered emails, and the constant buzz of phone calls that had barely stopped since morning. The traffic on his way home didn’t help either. The steady hum of engines and impatient honks only deepened the exhaustion already settled in his bones.He rubbed a hand over his face as he drove, leaning his elbow against the car door, staring blankly ahead. All I want is a shower, food, and my bed, he thought tiredly. That’s all.The thought of his empty, peaceful house felt like a reward. He imagined the silence greeting him, the warm air of home wrapping around him after such a long day. The faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he turned into his street.It was a quiet neighborhood, the kind where people nodded politely at one another in the mornings and went about

    FREYA’S OFFICEThe sound of muffled voices drifted faintly through the closed doors of the corridor.Freya sat quietly behind her desk, one leg crossed over the other, a cup of coffee untouched in front of her. The steam had long stopped rising, the surface now smooth and still — almost a mirror reflecting her satisfied smile.The news had reached her minutes ago.Skyview Horizon had officially pulled out of the deal.She leaned back in her chair, fingers lightly tracing the rim of the cup as the corner of her lips curled upward. “So, it worked,” she murmured softly to herself, her voice just a whisper in the silence.Freya smirked faintly. “You really thought you were untouchable, didn’t you, Scott Grayson?” she said under her breath, her voice calm but tinged with something dangerous. “Thought you could sign your little deal, make your company bigger, stronger… maybe even step over the rest of us in the process.”Her tone dropped to a whisper. “Not on my watch.”She stood slowly, wa

    ABC TECHNOLOGIES The heavy glass door to the conference room clicked shut. Everyone seated at the long table avoided eye contact. No one dared speak first.Scott stood at the far end of the table, his back to the room, both hands braced on the surface as he stared down at a single sheet of paper — the email from Skyview Horizon. His jaw flexed, the faintest muscle moving under his skin. The calm that usually made him look so controlled now felt dangerous, like the stillness of a storm before it hit.Finally, he spoke.“Skyview Horizon has pulled out of the deal.”The words were soft, but the room heard the weight behind them.Murmurs rippled quietly through the conference room. A few employees exchanged uncertain glances, their pens tapping nervously against their notepads.Scott straightened slowly as he turned to face them. “Does anyone,” he began, his voice steady and even, “want to explain to me how this happened?”Silence.His eyes swept the table — from the marketing head to t

    Freya sat at her desk, her elbows resting on the smooth surface while her fingers tapped lightly against the edge of a file she wasn’t even reading. Her eyes were fixed on the computer screen, but her mind was miles away from anything work-related. The cursor blinked on an empty document.Her thoughts were tangled — looping back to the same problem over and over again.How was she supposed to get Scott’s phone?He never left it lying around. Not once. He carried his phone everywhere, either in his hand or tucked neatly into the pocket of his trousers. He treated it like an extension of himself, a necessary tool he couldn’t afford to misplace. That, for Freya, was a nightmare.She needed the CEO’s number — Richard Thornton’s direct contact — and she needed it now. If she didn’t get it, the deal between Skyview Horizon and ABC Technologies would go through without interference, and Scott’s company would gain a level of influence. She couldn’t let that happen. Not after all the effort sh

    Freya arrived at ABC Technologies before the building had fully opened.The air inside still carried the faint scent of floor polish, and the lights along the hallway glowed with that sleepy, early-morning dimness. She had barely slept a wink, yet her face showed none of it. The dull ache behind her eyes, the heaviness in her limbs, the constant buzz of exhaustion — she hid it all beneath the calm mask she had mastered long ago.Her desk sat neatly by the large window at the far end of the corridor. She dropped her bag there and sat for a moment, just long enough to let the chair take her weight. She rubbed her temple briefly and exhaled, thinking back to the hours she’d spent the previous night combing through files and trying to trace one name — Richard Thornton. But still she wasn't able to get the direct contact of the man or find any way to reach him directly.Every attempt had hit a wall. Thornton’s number wasn’t public, and the company directories were locked tighter than a vau

    FREYA'S HOUSE Freya’s laptop screen illuminated her face in the darkened room. Her long fingers moved across the keyboard, eyes flicking between the search bar and the results that appeared on the screen.Lines of information scrolled before her, and finally, there it was.Skyview HorizonFreya’s brows lifted slightly. “So, this is what you’re working on, Scott Grayson,” she murmured under her breath, clicking on the company’s profile.The page loaded quickly. A modern blue-and-silver logo appeared at the top, followed by bold text that read: Skyview Horizon — A Global Leader in Strategic Technology Investments.Freya leaned forward, her eyes narrowing as she began to read. “Founded twelve years ago… specialized in funding large-scale tech infrastructures… currently holding minority stakes in over thirty start-ups across five countries,” she read quietly, scanning each line. “Impressive. But what are you doing with Scott?”She clicked open another tab, cross-referencing what she saw
