Reza Mahardika sat stiffly at the head of his boardroom table, heart pounding. Morning sunlight slanted through the tall windows, but the air felt cold. Around him, board members exchanged uneasy glances. unhappy with the leaked voice recording, Reza’s own arrogant laughter and cruel words, mocking their plans and belittling their ideas. “Several board members have expressed concern. Some even trust Dicky now to handle matters better now. Now they're going consider all options.” The name landed like a blow. Support now are shifting to Dicky. Reza's confidence cracked. Panic flared hot in his chest. “You’re seeking a scapegoat, some that I brought” Reza snapped. His voice rose. “My leadership record here is proven. We wouldn’t be where we are without me.” But his words sounded hollow even to his own ears. He saw skeptical looks around the table. Mr. Utomo one of the board member gave Reza a steady look. “And yet you call our colleagues fools behind their backs. We heard you

The recording leaked faster than wildfire. in few days, it was no longer just an internal whisper. It had made its way into the hands of the press...first as an anonymous quote, then as a full blown exposé. “CEO of Mahardika Caught in Leaked Audio: ‘Let the Dogs Bark’” The article dissected every syllable, every pause. It painted Reza as a tyrant, dismissive of his board, erratic in judgment, and possibly unfit to lead a company of Mahardika’s scale through international waters. Back at Pratama Group Raka read the article silently from his desk. then Andi’s voice broke the calm from the other end of the line. “Shall we send the next wave?” Raka’s answer was cold and calculated. “No not yet. Let him dance in the fire first. The true weakness would reveals itself when pride meets pressure.” Selene entered the room with her tab and a message through an email. “This came from the regulatory office. Discrepancies in Mahardika’s permit renewals, timelines that don’t align

Reza Mahardika had just returned from a celebrated trip overseas. Media outlets hailed his name. Business forums praised his strategic merge with Al-Dhafra. He was on magazine covers. His speeches were clipped and posted online, each time calling himself the future of Southeast Asian enterprise. Inside the boardroom on the 47th floor, though, things weren’t as clear. Reza stood at the head of the long table, his hands in his pockets, speaking with that proud smirk he had worn for weeks. “Gentlemen… and ladies,” he said, scanning the board. “You’ve seen the headlines. You’ve seen the numbers so far. Mahardika is not just stable now, we’re growing, expanding and dominating.” Some clapped politely. Nadine sat beside him, her very presence was like a queen’s, and her cousin Dicky was two seats away, his expression was calm and unreadable. “We’ve locked the merge,” Reza continued. “Al-Dhafra will act as our international arm. And we’ve identified three logistics routes from P

Dicky was sitting at the far end of the table, he had dressed in tailored blue linen and polished shoes, but his eyes carried something heavier... it was tension. Behind his polite nods and family smiles, the storm was already brewing. The room that evening shimmered with laughter. Rini Santoso, adorned in gold and pride, raised her glass once again as she relished in the moment. “Our Reza is making history,” she declared to her few circle of socialites who she had invited to her family dinner. “This is no longer just about Mahardika International, it’s about shaping the whole region.” A woman beside her chuckled. “And that poor boy you used to call your son in-law, what was his name? Raka?” Rini scoffed. “He was always beneath her. And I will say this again and again, My daughter made the right choice. Love doesn’t build empires, ambition does.” The elites nod in agreement. Dicky watched from across the room. He remembered when Rini used to beg for help from her siblings,

She held court among her circle of wealthy women and investors, her voice just loud enough to turn heads. she was at it this time again with her praises. “My son in law, Reza,” she said proudly, swirling her wine, “isn’t just leading Mahardika. He is changing Jakarta. Changing the future. Unlike certain people who only survived because they acquired an old legacy and married into power.” Her friends laughed on cue. One of them whispered, “You mean Raka Pratama?” Rini smirked. “The street dog. Fed by our table. And now? Barking from a distance, pretending he ever mattered.” Cameras clicked. Journalists scribbled. Across the ballroom, Raka stood in quiet black. No tie. Just presence. Selene at his side, she was dressed in silver, ever looking stunning. But They Weren't going to respond to Rini's insults, they wouldn't need to respond. Not

It was one of Rini Santoso’s famed morning gatherings, of her circle of elite women gathered around the garden’s private tea lounge, sipping imported blends, all draped in luxury. They laughed without care, all the time they meet , their words were dipped in gossip and Rini's golden pride of her current status.
