Justice For The Billionaire Heir Chapter 28: The Ambush
"Kai, are you there?" a harsh voice snapped down the phone."I'm here, Marcus," Kai replied, his voice low and even, though a tension crept into his tone. "I'm just wrapping up the meeting. I'll be on the move in minutes.""Good," replied the tight voice. "Be careful. Our intelligence suggests you're not alone out there tonight."Kai took a slow breath, grumbling to himself, "Every step I take, I feel the weight of their betrayal. But tonight, I am not running—I am fighting."Steering a black alleyway near the planned pick-up point, a clatter sounded. "Hey!" a gruff shout shattered the quiet."Who is there?" Kai shouted out, his voice echoing off the thin passageway.A menacing, low-pitched voice responded, "Time's up, Mitchell. Did you think you could get away without anyone noticing?""Identify yourselves!" Kai snarled, his hand going to a concealed sidearm already."Not on your life, brother," another threat sneered. "You're in our turf now."Heavy footsteps came pounding toward Ka

"Kai, can you hear me?" Marcus's voice was raspy over the phone as Kai's footsteps echoed in a narrow, dimly lit corridor."Loud and clear," Kai replied, his voice gruff but resolute. "I'm on the run—just barely escaped."A pause filled with static and unspoken worry. "What happened?" Marcus demanded.Kai exhaled slowly, his voice torn between relief and rage. "They ambushed me in the dark. I wasn't expecting it, and the next I knew, fists were flying and I was on the ground.""Damn it, Kai!" Marcus's tone was laced with worry. "Were you hurt badly?""Nothing too bad," Kai muttered, though each word was edged with the shadow of hurt. "Some bruises and a broken lip. Every punch was like it carved out another memory of all the years I was underestimated."During the silence that followed, Kai's inner voice spoke, Every punch is a reminder of the past, a reminder that I will not be broken again.A gruff voice interrupted, "I'm here, Kai! I have your location." Julian, anxious and concern

"Kai, it is time to lay everything on the table," James announced firmly as he addressed the team in a safe conference room."I agree," Kai replied, his tone firm but for all the burden of his experience. "We have to bring down the Ross empire from the inside out, and that starts with a strategy—everything has to be thought out.""Then let's begin," Marcus interrupted. "We've gathered our evidence, and now we need to decide how to use it. I believe we should create a dossier so comprehensive that even their most ardent supporters can't help but discredit it."Elena nodded discreetly, "I've already started gathering documents, tapes, and testimony. Each piece of proof is a stone in the structure of our plan."Julian's voice dropped, his words measured, "We need to take care how we release this. One poor leak and the whole mission is over." Kai's determination flashed in his eyes. "That's why we're working on a strategy. We'll use the press as our megaphone, but in such a way as to sur

"Clarissa, I can play this charade no longer," Scarlett whispered low and angrily into the quiet of a late night conference, her words trembling on the edge of rage and despair."Scarlett, for goodness' sake. What in the world has happened?" Clarissa whispered softly and worriedly as they stood clasped together in a tiny back office room far out of sight of curious eyes.Scarlett's answer was laced with bitterness, "Day by day, it feels like my carefully built reputation is crumbling. The emails which were meant to be flawless now have errors, and the board members are already questioning the decisions I have made.""Are you referring to the previous quarterly report?" Clarissa asked softly, worry on her face."Just exactly," Scarlett shot back, her fists bunching into tight fists, "I published the forecast and—ugh—there were errors. It wasn't an error. It was a sign that our financial projections are collapsing from inside. And in the meeting today, I've never seen doubt in their eye
Justice For The Billionaire Heir Chapter 32: Forging Stronger Alliances
"Kai, I've spoken to Julian's contact in the financial world—she tells me there is fresh evidence of insider manipulation. We need to move quickly," Marcus spoke, his voice low and determined.Kai's voice was restrained yet intense. "Good news, Marcus. Every fact we uncover is another brick in the wall of our movement. But we cannot rush it; trust must be built step by step. Have you spoken with David yet?"Not yet, but I've arranged to interview him tomorrow night. He's one of the few who left the Ross household because he couldn't handle all the lies. You know, his sister was working there too and she told him what they were like," Marcus replied.Kai’s brow furrowed slightly as he answered, “I remember his story—how he was always the odd one out, the one who questioned the order of things. His insight could be invaluable. And what about Elena? Did she manage to reach any of the business insiders?”Elena's steady, calm voice cut in, "I have. I met with a veteran investor, Mr. Hargro

"Kai, can I speak with you?" Layla's voice trembled as she stepped into the quiet corner of a quaint old café, her voice a mix of fear and resoluteness.Kai lifted his eyes from his phone, his eyes warily questioning. "Layla, you don't come here often. Something troubling your mind?Her tone was gentle and tentative, "I'm done with the charade with Henry. I can no longer tolerate his indifference, and I'm coming to understand the cost of being his silent partner. I've been thinking—and I'd like to speak to you about the possibility of forming a new alliance."Kai sat up straight, interest and empathy mingling in his face. "An alliance? With you?" His voice was low, the question flavored with surprise and protective hope.Not with me, Kai," she murmured quietly, "but with all of us who've been victimized by the repressive rulers of Ross regime. I know it sounds risky, but I'm tired of the strangling system Henry and his peers have in hand.".Kai's eyes turned cold as he thought about t

"Kai, can you hear me? I've just finished reading Layla's file," Marcus said across the secure line, his tone urgent but controlled."I'm here, Marcus. What does it say?" Kai replied, his voice low as if not wanting to carry his words past the ear of trusted microphones.It confirms what we suspected," Marcus continued. "There's a tangled web in the Ross financial transactions—offshore accounts that are not declared, internal memos plotting unauthorized transfers, and even schedules of clandestine meetings between senior officials. Layla's insider evidence is the key.".There was a pause before Kai answered, "That's the kind of truth we're looking for. If we can attack them where their money is being tampered with and their transactions sealed by fraud, we may finally crack their operation wide open."."Ah yes indeed," Marcus stated. "Let us proceed with our next action right now. You see, the plan to devise an undercover leak to the financial press. I already talked with one of the b

"Kai, tonight it's happening," Marcus whispered softly and urgently as he and Kai crouched in a secluded corner of a pricey boardroom at a high-profile industry conference. "The Meridian Capital deal—a massive piece of the Ross empire—is going to be signed tonight."Kai bent forward, his voice stern but with an underlying passion, "I know, Marcus. Meridian has provided the financial core of Ross's business for much too long. If we manage to scupper this deal, it'll be the first big crack in their hold.""Right," said Marcus, "and I've made arrangements through our insider sources. Layla promised me that several key files and emails that prove fraudulent transactions are in position. They are kept on Meridian's secure servers."Kai’s eyes narrowed, and his tone grew firm, “This coup is the culmination of everything—the long nights spent piecing together evidence, every whispered secret from disillusioned insiders. It’s time to strike at the heart of their machinery.”Then there was Ele

"Kai, why did you come back here?" Scarlett's voice trembled as she spoke, mixed with anger and sorrow."I had to, Scarlett. I had to confront the reality of us, of everything that we once were," Kai replied, his own deep and level, his words charged with years of anguish.You think appearing here, in person, will set the past right? Or do you simply wish to rake up every betrayal, every humiliation?" she hurled back, her eyes flashing as if daring him to remind her of what she'd fought so hard to keep buried."I'm not here to destroy you, Scarlett. I'm here to help you understand that the pain we endured is not just a scar—ad it's an open invitation to change," Kai said, a little more softly."Change? Look at me, Kai. I've worked so hard to maintain the facade, the control, that I can hardly remember who I am at all anymore," she gasped in a cold whisper."You're better than that pretence, Scarlett. I recall the times when you laughed, when you loved. And then there were the lies, th
