122The fallout from the interview was worse than either of them had imagined. Within days, the company’s stocks began to tumble. Headlines screamed about instability, investors pulled back, and the mocking videos circulating online only added fuel to the fire. Every time he checked his phone, there was another article dissecting his outburst, another thread debating his character. Freya tried to stay calm, but she could see the damage spreading. One evening, as they sat in the living room with the television muted, she turned to him. “What about the investigator you hired?” she asked firmly. “We need answers, we need to show people we’re handling this. Where is he?” He hesitated, staring at the floor. The silence stretched too long. Finally, he muttered, “I don’t know.” Her eyes widened in disbelief. “You don’t know? After everything that’s happening, you can’t even tell me where the investigator is? This is exactly what I warned you about. You’re slipping back into self-destru
Calling him all sorts of names
121 The next morning, Lucas went to check on the investigator, but when he arrived, the man was nowhere to be found. It was as if he had completely disappeared without leaving a trace. Lucas asked around, but nobody seemed to know where the investigator had gone or what had happened to him. The sudden vanishing left Lucas uneasy, and a cold feeling settled in his chest. He chose not to tell Freya about it, worried that she might panic or get dragged into the danger. But soon, Lucas began receiving anonymous death threats. The messages came through phone calls, emails, and even letters slipped under his office door. Each one carried a chilling warning, and the constant harassment started to disturb his peace of mind.That evening, his phone rang, call from an unknown number, hesitantly, Lucas picked the call. “Lucas… stop asking questions. If you don’t, you won’t live to regret it.” The caller threatened.Lucas froze, gripping the phone tightly. “Who is this? What do you want?”
Finding something
Hector sat with his head in his hands, frustration boiling inside him. “I can’t keep living like this, Freya,” he muttered. “I want to take him to court. I want to sue Hector. I can’t just let this go.” Freya leaned forward, her voice calm but firm. “Listen to me. Right now, the court is not on your side. If you push too hard, you’ll only hurt yourself. The judges, the lawyers… everything is leaning in Hector’s favor.” He looked up, anger flashing in his eyes. “So I’m just supposed to sit here and do nothing?” “No,” Freya replied softly. “You’re supposed to breathe. To wait. To stay calm. If you let this consume you, you’ll go back to the man you used to be—the ruthless one, the one who lost himself in anger. And I don’t want to see you become that person again.” Hector clenched his fists, his voice shaking. “But it feels like he’s winning. It feels like I’m powerless.” Freya reached out, placing a hand on his arm. “You’re not powerless. You’re just impatient. Some
The war has only just began
Lucas woke to the sharp buzz of his phone vibrating against the nightstand. His eyes were still heavy with sleep when he noticed the message, an unknown number. He frowned, thumb hovering uncertainly before opening it. “Check your TV."The words were short, cold, and carried a weight that made his stomach tighten. He didn’t need to guess who it was. Hector. Lucas threw the blanket aside and rushed into the living room, his heart pounding. He grabbed the remote with trembling fingers and switched on the television. The screen lit up, and every channel he flipped to carried the same story: his company, the empire he had built with sweat and sleepless nights, was being accused of laundering money. Anchors spoke with grave voices, analysts dissected supposed evidence, and scrolling headlines screamed betrayal. His name was everywhere, Lucas Ross, CEO of Lucas Coporation, under investigation. He sank into the couch, his pulse racing. This wasn’t just rumor. It was orchestrated. He
The Raid
The air was heavy with tension as the officers stood all over the place, their eyes burning with fury. Lucas' mind raced as he stared in chaos, his heart blazing with confusion.“Search the premises!” The commander snapped.Lucas ran forward immediately, his breath faltered. His eyes rolled at the officer as sweat beaded on his head.His soul trembled as he stood before them, his eyes glowing with fear. His mind raced with ways to get out of this mess and found none.“Can I see a warrant?” He asked frantically, his face reddened, because he couldn’t just let them search his property without a warrant. The officer's eyes shone at him with rage, his breath burning hot with unfiltered rage, he didn’t expect Lucas to demand for a warrant, but anyway he came prepared.“Here!” He shoved it in his face and walked away.His eyes scanned through the papers carefully and his heart raced against time. Lucas stared at them softly, his heart calming softly. Deep down in his mind, he knew exactly
Back to Political Firestorm
His arms were folded as he stared blankly into the television, the chilling feeling of the words seeped into his skin.“Lucas Ross is nothing but a thief and smuggler of lost artifacts!” Hector spat and Lucas just smiled. Well, now his mind raced back to the task his system has given him; Protect what you've built…Now it was clear to him that Hector was the soul that will be his new tormentor. In his life, he has never known rest, not even for a short while and just when he thought he'd rest finally, Hector Ramirez rose from the shadows…Silence ruled the air as his mind pondered on how he'll deal with this situation.He heard footsteps and quickly turned around. Suddenly, he heard a loud thud against the stairs.“Fuck! Freya!” He rushed over to the stairs and saw her smiling. She kissed him warmly and he took her up in his arms, squeezing her fluffy ass.She couldn't walk. The pain of last night's blast still held her badly. He kept her slowly on the couch and headed in to grab the
