Marcus Hale noticed the change on a Tuesday morning.

It was a small thing.

Almost insignificant.

A supplier called him and asked a question he hadn't expected.

“Marcus, is there a new approval process for Countera?”

Marcus slowly lowered the newspaper in his hand.

“What approval process?”

The supplier hesitated.

“The branch has been requesting premium stock again. Different quantities. Different specifications.”

Marcus leaned back in his chair.

“That shouldn't concern you. Follow the existing c

  • The Decision

    The following morning, Kiara called her father's legal adviser.She had spent most of the previous night thinking about Jubin's letter. Every time she remembered his words, she felt a little more certain that walking away from the Vyel family was not the same as abandoning him.After a lengthy conversation, the legal adviser arranged a meeting to discuss her options and explain the procedures required to transfer her inheritance.When the call ended, Kiara remained seated at the dining table.Michael was having breakfast nearby when she finally spoke."I've made my decision."He looked up from his plate. "Are you sure?""Yes." She took a breath. "I'm not going to fight Rohan for control of the Vyel family. I don't want the position, and I don't want to spend the rest of my life dealing with people who see me as an obstacle."Michael didn't congratulate her or tell her she had made the right choice. He simply nodded."Then make sure you understand everything involved before you finaliz

  • Jubin's Last Wish

    Kiara sat quietly in the living room, her wrists still sore from the previous day's attack.She had made her decision. She no longer wanted to fight Rohan for control of the Vyel family. She wanted to study, build an independent life, and leave the endless struggle over money and power behind her.But before she could take another step, she needed to speak with her father's legal adviser and understand how to transfer her inheritance properly.That morning, she brought out the folder containing her father's will and other documents.Michael noticed her looking through the papers while he sat nearby."Still working on the inheritance?""Yes. I want to make sure I understand everything before I decide what to do." She turned another page. "My father left several documents with his lawyer, but I haven't checked all of them yet."As she continued searching, a thin envelope slipped out from between two folders.Her father's name was written on the front in familiar handwriting.Kiara froze

  • The Last Attack

    Kiara had spent most of the morning reviewing her father's inheritance documents.She had decided not to make any immediate decisions, but she wanted to understand every option available to her. Before giving up anything, she needed to know exactly what she would be giving up and whether her choice could create problems later.After breakfast, she put the documents away and joined Sarah in the living room."Auntie, I'm going to the stationery shop nearby. I need a notebook for my university research."Sarah looked up from her sewing. "Do you want me to come with you?""No, it's all right. The shop is only a short walk away."Sarah hesitated. Ever since Kiara had arrived, everyone in the house had been more cautious about letting her go outside alone.Michael, who was checking something on his laptop, looked toward her."Take your phone, and call me if anything feels wrong. Don't go anywhere else."Kiara nodded. "I won't be long."She left the house a few minutes later, carrying her ph

  • The Price of Freedom

    Kiara spent the next morning researching universities and admission requirements.For the first time in months, she had something to look forward to that had nothing to do with the Vyel family. She had already shortlisted three universities and started making a list of the documents she would need.However, while searching through the files she had brought from her father's house, she came across a folder she hadn't opened since his death.It contained copies of her inheritance documents, along with several legal papers prepared by her father's lawyers.Kiara opened the folder and began reading.At first, everything seemed familiar. There were documents confirming her father's will, records of the assets he had left to her, and details about the companies in which she had inherited shares.Then she noticed a section explaining her rights as the beneficiary.She read it once, then again.According to the documents, she could retain her inheritance, transfer eligible assets to another p

  • A Different Life

    The next morning, Michael found Kiara sitting at the dining table with a cup of tea in front of her. She had been awake for some time, but instead of looking through documents about the Vyel family, she was staring at a blank page in a notebook.Michael pulled out a chair and sat opposite her."Writing something?"Kiara shook her head. "I'm trying to figure out what I should do next.""That's a good start."She looked at him. "You make it sound so easy.""It isn't easy. But you don't have to solve your entire life in one morning."Kiara gave him a doubtful look before closing the notebook."Yesterday, you asked me what I actually wanted. I've been thinking about it, but every time I try to come up with an answer, I start thinking about my father and the Vyel family again.""Then let's try a different question." Michael leaned back in his chair. "Before your father named you his heir, what did you want to do with your life?"Kiara opened her mouth, then stopped.It was a surprisingly d

  • The Girl Behind the Heir

    The evening was quiet at Michael's house.Sarah was in the kitchen preparing dinner, while Michael sat in the living room with his laptop open. He had spent most of the afternoon looking into the Vyel family's business records, but he hadn't found anything that could directly connect Rohan to the attacks on Kiara.He decided to take a break.When he looked up, he noticed Kiara sitting near the window. She had a book open on her lap, but she hadn't turned a page in several minutes."Something on your mind?" Michael asked.Kiara looked at him. "Is it that obvious?""You've been staring at the same page for almost twenty minutes."She glanced down at the book and closed it with an embarrassed smile. "I guess I'm not very good at pretending everything is fine.""You don't have to pretend here."Kiara remained silent for a moment before moving to the sofa opposite him."Can I ask you something?""Go ahead.""Have you ever disappointed someone who trusted you?"Michael's expression grew tho
