Chapter 43 — People From His Past
Daniel arrived at Carter Holdings before everyone else. The message from the previous night was still on his mind.Your first real business war begins tomorrow.He had expected an attack. What he did not expect was how quickly it would come.At seven in the morning, Samuel walked into his office with a worried expression. "Daniel, we have a problem."Daniel looked up from his computer. "What kind?""Two of our new clients have received offers from another company.""Which company?"Samuel hesitated. "Northbridge Holdings."Daniel leaned back. "Are they trying to buy the contracts?""Yes.""How much are they offering?""Almost twenty percent more than what we offered."Daniel smiled. "That isn't a business offer."Samuel frowned. "What is it?""A warning." Daniel stood. "They want our clients to leave because they want to see whether we can survive without them."Adrian walked into the office. "They are also calling our suppliers."Daniel nodded. "I expected that."Adrian looked at him
Chapter 42 — The First Billion
By eight the next morning, Carter Holdings was already facing its first problem.Samuel rushed into Daniel's office with his laptop in his hand. "Daniel."Daniel looked up from the documents on his desk. "What happened?""The bank rejected our application."Daniel remained calm. "Which bank?""Three of them." Samuel placed the laptop on the desk. "They all gave the same reason. They don't want to deal with a company connected to Carter Industries."Daniel stared at the screen. It was exactly what he expected. Marcus Vale had moved faster than he thought.Daniel leaned back. "How much were we asking for?""Two hundred million."Adrian, who was sitting nearby, almost laughed. "Two hundred million? We haven't even been operating for twenty-four hours."Daniel looked at him. "We don't need the banks."Samuel looked confused. "Then how are we going to start?"Daniel stood. "By making money."Adrian smiled. "That sounds simple.""It is."Daniel picked up his jacket. "Come with me.""Where?"
Chapter 41 — The New Company
The next morning, Daniel sat alone in his small office. The city outside was already awake, but he had barely slept.Lily was safe. That was the only thing that mattered. She had spent the night at a friend's house under protection. Daniel had refused to let her return home until he was certain the people who kidnapped her could not reach her again.But Daniel knew something had changed. The people attacking him were no longer hiding. They had taken Lily because they wanted to send a message. And Daniel had received it.He looked at the photograph he had found in the warehouse. The man standing behind him outside the courthouse seven years ago. Daniel had stared at that face for hours. Something about him felt familiar. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not remember where he had seen him.He put the photograph inside a folder. There were more important things to deal with. His business. His family. And the people who believed they could destroy him.Daniel picked up his phone
Chapter 40 — No More Mercy
Daniel stood beside his car, phone pressed tightly against his ear."Where is my sister?"The voice on the other end remained calm. "You have twenty-four hours."Daniel's eyes hardened. "I asked you where she is.""You will know when the time is right."The call ended.Daniel slowly lowered the phone. For several seconds, he did not move. The street around him was quiet. A few cars passed in the distance, but everything felt strangely still.Lily was gone. His little sister had always been the one person who stayed beside their family when everyone else disappeared. She had taken care of their father while Daniel was in prison. She had struggled to keep the family together when their business was collapsing.And now someone had taken her because of him.Daniel clenched his fists. He had spent years learning how to control his anger. Prison had taught him that anger could make a man careless. But this time, it was different. This was not about business. It was not about money. It was L
Chapter 39 — The Enemy Strikes Back
The hospital corridor was unusually quiet. Daniel stood outside his father's room, staring through the glass window. His father was asleep. At least, that was what the doctors had told him.But Daniel couldn't stop thinking about Lily's words. Someone had visited his father. Someone who knew about his past. Someone who had asked whether Daniel had started remembering.Daniel's fingers tightened around his phone. He hated unanswered questions. Seven years in prison had taught him one thing. When someone wanted you to remain ignorant, there was usually a reason."Daniel."He turned. Lily stood several steps away."Are you coming home tonight?"Daniel shook his head. "I have something to do.""What?""I need to check something."Lily sighed. "You've been doing that every day.""And I'll continue until I know what happened."She looked at him sadly. "I know you're angry."Daniel didn't respond."But Dad is sick," she continued. "Please don't let revenge destroy what's left of our family."
Chapter 38 — His First Counterattack
Daniel stood in front of the large glass window of his temporary office, watching the city move beneath him.Cars rushed along the streets. People hurried into buildings. Businessmen made phone calls and signed contracts. To everyone outside, it was an ordinary morning. To Daniel, it was the beginning of a war.For years, he had been powerless. Seven years in prison had taken his freedom, his marriage, his reputation, and almost everything his family owned. But now he finally had something he had never possessed before.Time.And information.He turned away from the window. Several files were spread across the desk. Northbridge Holdings. Marcus Vale. The Carter family's creditors. The companies that had purchased his family's properties. And the mysterious investment company that had recently begun supporting his business.Daniel studied the documents quietly. The more he investigated, the more obvious the pattern became. Someone had deliberately weakened the Carter family while he wa
