  • Chapter 10: Isolation

    Jackson Forbes sat in the underground control room, the glow of monitors reflecting the intensity in his eyes.He had orchestrated chaos, humiliation, and fear, but the next phase required precision and patience. Jenna Oakwood would not fall entirely unless he controlled every angle.“Harris,” he said, voice steady and sharp, “it’s time to isolate her completely. Every ally, every friend, every supporter, neutralize their influence. Make her doubt everyone, trust no one, and feel the walls closing in.”Harris frowned. “You mean… she’ll have no one left? That’s brutal. She’ll panic completely.”Jackson’s lips curved faintly. “Exactly. Desperation is the most effective weapon. And once she’s cornered… every move she makes works for me, whether she realizes it or not.”Lina, typing rapidly, brought up an interactive map of the Consortium’s executives, stakeholders, and key players.“We’ve already got loyal insiders: Victor, several mid-level executives, even some board members who’ve beg

  • Chapter 9: The Pressure Cooker

    Jackson Forbes stood in the underground control room, surrounded by glowing screens, each one displaying the chaos he had orchestrated in the Oakwood Consortium.Investors panicked, the media amplified every misstep, and the city buzzed with speculation. But tonight, subtlety was over.“Tonight,” Jackson said, voice low and sharp, “we confront her. Not physically, not yet, but strategically. She will feel me everywhere: in every decision, every boardroom hesitation, every heartbeat of her empire.”Harris leaned against the console. “Direct confrontation? Aren’t you worried she’ll fight back?”Jackson’s eyes glimmered. “Let her fight. Every move she makes under pressure is predictable. Every desperate act is a tool. This is not just about control, it’s about breaking her reliance on her own illusions.”Lina tapped rapidly on her keyboard. “We’ve synchronized everything. Leaks, internal memos, investor calls, and even her personal schedule. Every contact, every decision, every conversat

  • Chapter 8: Control in the Shadows

    Jackson Forbes leaned over the glowing monitors in the underground control room, fingers tracing the live feeds of news outlets, social media trends, and the Oakwood Consortium’s internal communications.The first public strike had done its work, panic, confusion, and humiliation had spread like wildfire. But Jackson was not content to merely watch chaos unfold.“Now,” he said, voice low and commanding, “we take the next step. Visibility is power, perception is control, and fear… fear is the strongest currency in the world.”Harris, leaning over the main console, frowned. “You mean we manipulate the media? The investors? Even the public? That’s risky. One slip…”Jackson’s eyes narrowed. “No slip. Every detail is calculated. Every narrative is seeded through channels we control. Every influential voice will bend without realizing they are bending. The city, the shareholders, even the board, they will be tools of my revenge before they know it.”Lina tapped rapidly on her keyboard, brin

  • Chapter 7: The Public Strike

    The skyline glittered with lights, but tonight, the city was about to witness a storm it would never forget. Jackson Forbes leaned back in the underground control room, his gaze fixed on the monitors showing live feeds of Oakwood Consortium headquarters, social media trends, and breaking news alerts.“Tonight,” Jackson said, voice low and commanding, “we move from shadows to the stage. They think I’m dead. They think I’m powerless. They think they’ve won. Let’s prove them wrong.”Harris crossed his arms. “A public strike? This is bold. If anything goes wrong, it could expose us.”Jackson’s eyes glinted. “Everything has been calculated. Every detail, every ally, every digital footprint. We leave them with no escape, no dignity, and no way to deny what’s coming.”Lina, fingers flying over her keyboard, nodded. “All systems ready. Press releases, social media infiltration, internal Consortium data, all coordinated. The city will see it first, then the world.”Jackson stood, pacing slowly

  • Chapter 6: The Infiltration

    The city hummed with life above, oblivious to the silent storm brewing below. Jackson Forbes sat in the underground control room, the soft glow of monitors illuminating his focused face.He no longer just watched; he moved pieces, orchestrating events within the Oakwood Consortium with surgical precision.“Phase three,” he muttered, voice low but sharp. “We go deeper. No more surface-level chaos. It’s time to infiltrate the core.”Harris leaned against the console. “You mean… direct access to the inner workings of the Consortium? That’s risky. If they detect it…”Jackson’s eyes hardened. “If they detect it, it’s already too late for them. Remember, we don’t just strike blindly. Every move is calculated. Every ripple is intended. Fear is our weapon, and paranoia our ally.”Lina swiveled in her chair. “All the proxies are ready. Victor and the others are positioned perfectly. Minor decisions, approvals, and transactions can all be manipulated without raising suspicion.But this… this le

  • Chapter 5: The First Strike

    Jackson Forbes stood over the screens in the underground command center, the faint glow reflecting off his sharp features.Tonight, there would be no subtlety. No whispering chaos. Tonight, the Oakwood Consortium would feel the first tremor of a storm they never saw coming.“Are you sure about this?” Harris asked, voice low, cautious. “It’s high risk. If they trace it…”Jackson shook his head slowly. “They won’t. We’ve prepared for every angle. Every contingency. Every weak link is ours. And remember…” His gaze hardened, eyes sharp as blades. “…the higher the risk, the sweeter the victory.”Lina, at the financial console, nodded. “All systems are ready. Proxy accounts, backdoor access, and encrypted communications are live. One false move and it’s on us, but so far, everything is secure.”Jackson leaned back, hands steepled. “Good. Tonight, they’ll learn exactly what happens when you betray Jackson Forbes.”Meanwhile, Jenna Oakwood was hosting a high-profile meeting in the consortium’
