Chapter 118: Confession
The room buzzed with frantic keystrokes and hushed commands. Screens flickered with data feeds, traffic camera loops, and firewall logs. Elias barked orders, his men scrambling like dogs under a whip.But amid the chaos… suddenly,“I’M GUILTY!!”The words tore through the room like glass shattering.Everyone froze. Fingers hovered above keyboards. Screens reflected pale, frightened faces.James dropped to his knees, clutching his bloodied jaw, tears streaming down his face like a broken child. His body shook, his chest heaving with each ragged sob.“I-I’m guilty…” he whimpered. “Please, forgive me… I… I was promised money… Zane… he, he offered me 40 Bitcoin if I erased the footage… i-if I looked the other way… if I let his man in. I-I deleted logs, rerouted backups, falsified the check-in registers… Oh God, I didn’t know it would kill her. I didn’t know he would—”Rowan’s lips curved into a thin, knowing smile. He stepped forward, his shadow stretching over James like death itself. He
Chapter 117: Commander Elias Vark
The mocking didn’t stop. The guards snickered, circling like hyenas around a lion they thought was wounded.“You think you’re untouchable?” the Chief Security Officer sneered, his belly shaking as he leaned forward. “You’re nothing. You’re just a nobody hanging around LangCorp because of a woman. Well… that woman is gone. And soon, you will be too.”Jane’s fingers trembled. She wanted to scream, to claw their eyes out, but then…Thud. Thud. Thud.The sound of boots striking the marble hallway outside. Dozens of them. Sharp, heavy, synchronized. It rattled through the floor, made the glass windows vibrate. Jane flinched. Her heart skipped as shadows darkened the crack beneath the door.The CSO smirked wider. “I warned you. All you had to do was mind your business. Now..” he leaned close, his words like venom, “...you’re gonna have to su—”He didn’t finish.Because the door slammed open.And the air itself shifted.A towering figure entered first, cutting through the tension like a blad
Chapter 116: Empty Threats
The room shifted uneasily. The guards smirked, but Jane noticed the faint tremor in their voices, the way they wouldn’t quite meet Rowan’s eyes. They were lying. Covering something. She could feel it in her bones.Rowan stepped forward, closing the space between him and the Chief. His shadow fell over the man, swallowing him whole. For the first time, the officer’s smirk faltered.“Then I suppose,” Rowan said softly, almost a whisper, “we’ll just have to find the truth another way.”The Chief Security Officer crossed his arms, forcing a laugh. “Truth? You’ll find nothing. The cameras were down. Maintenance, you see. Real convenient, eh?”Rowan’s head tilted, his expression unreadable. “Maintenance?” He let the word roll slowly off his tongue, as though tasting it for flaws. “Strange. A system like this doesn’t just go into maintenance without someone signing off. Someone authorizes it. Someone logs it.”Jane’s eyes widened. She knew where this was going. The man in front of Rowan migh
Chapter 115: CSO
The walk to the security room was quiet —too quiet. Jane’s heels clicked against the tiled floor like ticking clocks, echoing louder than usual in her ears. Rowan followed behind, calm as ever, his steps measured, almost soundless. But Jane’s heart was hammering. She knew where they were going, and she wasn’t sure she was ready for it. The moment she opened that door, she would have to face the men who failed to protect Victoria —and who now, somehow, had the audacity to keep working as if nothing happened.The double doors to the security room swung open, and instantly, every guard and officer inside rose to their feet. Some stiffened at the sight of Jane, offering her half-salutes out of respect. They looked at her like she was the closest thing to leadership they had now that their CEO was gone. Others simply bowed their heads, out of grief or shame, she couldn’t tell.Then, a large man stepped forward —the Chief Security Officer. He was broad-shouldered, with a stomach that press
Chapter 114: Icon Dead
“Victoria Lang Dead – CEO of LangCorp Confirmed Killed in Explosion.”Every channel ran the same grim loop: the blackened shell of LangCorp Tower, smoke still trailing into the sky. The camera panned across firemen dragging out what little remained of the top floors, the chaos of sirens and flashing lights filling the background.A reporter’s voice trembled as she spoke into her mic: “Police have confirmed that the blast originated from the thirty-sixth floor… Victoria Lang’s personal office. At this time, investigators believe the explosion was deliberate, and… that Miss Lang was the target.”Jane sat on the edge of her desk, shoulders shaking, her coffee untouched and gone cold. She couldn’t turn the volume off, couldn’t look away. The world was mourning the woman she had failed to protect.Her phone buzzed nonstop beside her. Twitter feeds, Instagram tributes, TikTok edits—every platform had turned her boss into a legend overnight.“Rest in power, Victoria Lang. A queen taken too
Chapter 113: A Life For A Life
Elena shook her head furiously, wiping her face with the back of her hand. “Don’t what?! Don’t tell you the truth? You need to hear it. Because this—” she gestured at Victoria’s body, her voice breaking, “..this isn’t just another business move gone wrong. This was someone who loved you, Rowan. And you let her carry that love into the grave without ever giving it back.”The silence that followed was unbearable. Even the crackle of charred steel cooling in the background seemed distant.Rowan’s throat moved, but no sound came at first. When he did finally speak, his voice was quieter than Elena had ever heard it. “She knew,” he whispered. “She knew I wasn’t ready. She knew what I was… what I’ve become.” He swallowed hard, his gaze fixed downward. “But I never thought… God, Elena, I never thought she’d be taken from me before I could…”His words broke apart, choked off.Jason clenched his fists, looking away. This wasn’t his grief to bear, but it was crushing him too. He simply placed h
