CHAPTER 113
SONIA'S POVSuddenly, an idea flashed through my mind."Greg, I think I know what happened," I said quickly, my voice carrying a mixture of fear and hope as I stared helplessly at the ceiling above us.Beside me, Greg immediately responded."What is it?" Greg asked. "Tell me."I swallowed hard before speaking."I think we must have been bitten by something during the night," I said anxiously. "Maybe some kind of insect or poisonous bug got into the room while we were sleeping."For a brief moment, I felt relieved that I had finally come up with a possible explanation.However, Greg immediately rejected the idea."No," Greg said firmly.His answer caught me completely off guard.I frowned."What do you mean, no?" I asked. "Why are you dismissing it so quickly?"Greg released a slow breath before answering."Sonia, think about it carefully," Greg said patiently. "How exactly would an insect bite me, then bite you, and somehow give us both the exact same symptoms at the exact same time?"
CHAPTER 112
Sonia's POVThe next morning, I woke up slowly, expecting the familiar comfort of Greg lying beside me.However, the very moment my eyes opened fully, I realized something was terribly wrong. My muscles felt stiff, my joints felt locked, and even breathing seemed more difficult than usual.At first, I thought I was simply feeling stiff from sleep.My neck remained completely still.I could not move.My heart immediately began pounding violently inside my chest the moment I felt paralyzed. Fear exploded through me.My breathing became rapid and uneven as I stared at the ceiling in absolute horror."Greg!" I shouted at the top of my voice.The sound of my panicked cry shattered the silence that had filled the bedroom only moments earlier.Beside me, Greg struggled to speak.I was terrified."Something is wrong!" I cried out desperately. "Greg, something is seriously wrong with me!"I swallowed hard as panic continued building inside me."I can't move," I said fearfully. "Greg, I can't
CHAPTER 111
As Ava and I continued walking deeper into the mansion, we eventually arrived at my private office. I walked directly behind the desk and lowered myself into the leather chair while Ava remained standing for a moment with her tablet pressed against her chest.I gestured toward the chair opposite me."Sit down, Ava," I said calmly. "We have a lot to discuss, and I would rather not have you standing the entire time.""Thank you, Boss," Ava replied respectfully as she took the seat across from me.The moment she settled into the chair, she placed her tablet on her lap and looked at me attentively.For several seconds, she studied my expression before speaking."Boss, before we begin discussing structures and strategies, I need to understand exactly what we're working with," Ava said professionally. "How much capital are you really planning to invest into this venture?"I leaned back slightly in my chair and folded my arms."Like I said before, I want to allocate approximately one billio
CHAPTER 110
I glanced down at the damaged fabric."My suit had an unfortunate accident," I replied casually.The driver chuckled nervously."I understand."I leaned back comfortably against the seat."What matters right now is that I need to get home urgently."The driver immediately straightened his posture."Of course, sir," he replied respectfully. "My apologies."A second later, he started the engine.Within moments, the taxi pulled away from the curb and disappeared into the night.The drive itself remained relatively quiet.Occasionally, I caught the driver glancing at me through the rearview mirror, clearly still struggling to understand how a man dressed in a ripped suit could possibly reside in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the country.I paid little attention to his curiosity.Instead, my thoughts remained focused entirely on the plan forming inside my mind.Thirty billion dollars.Seven days.Every piece was already beginning to fall into place.------Nearly forty minutes lat
CHAPTER 109
After a few moments of silence, Ava finally spoke again."If you are truly that certain about the outcome, Boss," Ava said carefully over the phone, "then I can definitely help you establish the company."I continued walking slowly along the sidewalk while listening attentively."Oh?" I replied calmly. "And how exactly would you help me do that?"There was a brief pause before Ava answered."Before CEO retired and sold High-Tech Power, I wasn't merely his personal assistant," Ava explained professionally. "Over the years, I became heavily involved in the development and expansion of the company. Many of the administrative systems, internal structures, and growth strategies that High-Tech Power uses today were actually designed through collaborations between the former CEO and myself."I raised an eyebrow."That sounds like a much larger role than that of an ordinary assistant," I remarked.Ava laughed softly."Most people never realized it, Boss," Ava admitted. "But I contributed far
CHAPTER 108
The servants instinctively stepped aside as I crossed the luxurious sitting room.My footsteps echoed loudly throughout the mansion.Behind me, I could hear confused whispers.I could feel every pair of eyes following me.Yet I never looked back.I continued walking straight toward the corridor.As I stepped out of the corridor and made my way through the enormous Davenport Mansion, I did not once bother to look over my shoulder. By the time I reached the front entrance,I knew they were struggling to understand how I had escaped the handcuffs without anyone noticing. I also knew they were questioning whether everything I had said was merely a bluff or whether they had genuinely underestimated me. Unfortunately for them, the answer would reveal itself soon enough.I pushed open the massive front doors and stepped outside. The cool night air immediately brushed against my face, carrying with it a refreshing calmness that contrasted sharply with the tension I had just left behind. A f
