Megan gave a slow nod, though the calmness in her expression was carefully maintained, because the truth was that every word William’s father spoke only added another layer of confusion to the already complicated picture forming in her mind.“Yes,” she said quietly. “I know about it. I know what happened with his girlfriend, and I know about the heartbreak he went through.”William’s father’s face softened immediately at the mention of his son’s pain, and for a moment, the pride he had shown earlier gave way to the worried tenderness of a father who had watched his child suffer and had been powerless to remove that suffering.“Then you must be very close to William,” he said. “Very close.”Megan did not answer at once.“You see,” he continued, “only a few people know what truly happened. It is not something William discusses with everyone, and it is not something our family has allowed to become public. Many people may think they know the story, but they do not understand what he endu

William’s father followed Megan into her office with the quiet, respectful manner of a man who was deeply grateful for an opportunity he believed had been handed to him through kindness rather than influence, and as soon as the door closed behind them, Megan moved around her desk and lowered herself into her chair while Victoria remained standing close beside her, watching the older man with a composed expression that revealed nothing of the thoughts moving behind her eyes.For several long seconds, Megan said nothing.Her attention was fixed completely on William’s father, not because she doubted that he was a decent man, but because the entire situation before her had become impossible to understand. If William truly possessed the wealth, influence, and power that everyone seemed to be whispering about, if he truly owned companies and moved through the business world with the confidence of someone who could purchase almost anything he wanted, then why would his own father be standin

Megan arrived at the office that morning with Victoria by her side.Although she greeted a few employees along the way, her mind was elsewhere. She had made a decision, and nothing was going to change it.She was going to resign.No matter what it cost her, no matter how much William tried to persuade her to stay, she would not continue working for him.The video Kai had shown her the previous day remained burned into her memory. She had tried not to think about it, but every time she closed her eyes, the images returned. They had revealed a side of William she could no longer ignore—a cruel, heartless man who seemed to take pleasure in the suffering of others and enjoyed making people’s lives unbearable.Megan could not work for someone like that.She would not be part of his world.She would not continue helping a man who had no remorse for the damage he caused.As she walked toward her office, she silently repeated the decision to herself."I’m resigning today."Beside her, Victori

Mr. Clinton listened to the secretary’s whisper without saying a word.For several seconds, he remained completely still, his expression unreadable. Then he gave a brief nod.“All right,” he said quietly. “That will be all.”The secretary bowed and left the room, closing the door behind him.The moment he was gone, Clinton turned back to the men around the table. The frustration in his face had deepened, and the confidence he had displayed earlier was now replaced by something far more serious.“Gentlemen,” he began, “it appears that we have our work cut out for us.”No one spoke.“We are facing a much larger problem than we initially believed. This is no longer simply a matter of a new competitor entering the market. This man has made a direct move against everything we have spent years building.”He pushed himself to his feet.“I have just received confirmation that he has invested one billion dollars in Ferrari.”The room fell silent.“And another billion in Mercedes.”The news str

Immediately, all four men shook their heads.“No,” they said almost in unison.“We will not surrender,” one of them declared.“We have no intention of giving up our position,” another added. “Why should we? We built these companies through years of sacrifice, strategy, and hard work. We are not going to hand them over simply because one ambitious man has decided to expand aggressively.”“If he comes for us,” a third man said, “then we fight back.”The others nodded firmly.“We will protect what belongs to us,” Vincent said. “Anyone who tries to take our companies will have to go through all of us first.”“No one is surrendering,” another executive concluded. “Not now. Not ever.”Mr. Clinton listened to their response with a faint smile. He slowly nodded, though his expression remained serious.“Good,” he said. “That is exactly the attitude I expected.”He leaned forward, resting both hands on the table.“But do not make the mistake of believing that he is harmless simply because he is

The meeting room had been sealed off from the rest of the building.Around the massive oval table sat five high-caliber men—powerful executives whose names carried weight in the automobile industry and whose decisions could influence entire markets. They rarely met in person. For more than a year, there had been no reason to.Business had been running smoothly.Their companies had crushed one competitor after another, weakened struggling firms, and absorbed valuable assets at bargain prices. With no serious opposition left to challenge them, the men had grown comfortable with their position at the top.But that comfort had vanished within the past forty-eight hours.At the head of the table sat Mr. Clinton.His face was rigid with anger. He looked exhausted, devastated, and deeply unsettled by the events unfolding around them. His fingers rested against the polished tabletop, tapping slowly as he studied the men seated before him.At last, he cleared his throat.“It has been a very lo
