House on fire
The chaos at home had finally died down. The shouting, and the questions from reporters was all gone. Lucas and Freya finally returned to the house, yet the moment they stepped inside, it no longer felt like home. Every sound made them jump. They were always on edge, as if danger was waiting just around the corner. Earlier that day, officers had come to inspect the scene. The car explosion had drawn attention, but even the police couldn’t give them a clear answer. One officer shook his head, looking at the burnt remains. “We don’t know how this happened,” he admitted. “It could be a fault in the car, or something else. But we can’t say for sure.” Lucas frowned. “Something else? What do you mean?” The officer avoided his eyes. “Just… be careful. For now, make sure you turn off your fuel tank whenever you park. It might help prevent something like this from happening again.” Freya stood beside Lucas, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. She didn’t feel reassured at all. “
He was going to play dirty
Lucas and Freya rushed out of the house as quickly as they could. Freya, still shaken by the loud blast, immediately shouted for help, her voice trembling with fear. Lucas, on the other hand, pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her. It wasn’t just a hug, it was his way of shielding her, trying to protect her from whatever danger might still be out there. The memory of Hector’s threat hung heavy in the air, making Lucas even more determined to keep her safe. Within minutes, the sound of sirens filled the street. Firefighters arrived and began spraying water on the burning car, working hard to put out the flames before they spread. The smell of smoke and the crackling of fire made the scene even more chaotic. Soon after, reporters rushed in, carrying cameras and microphones. They surrounded Lucas and Freya, bombarding them with questions.“What happened? Did you see who caused the explosion? Were you hurt?” But Lucas and Freya refused to answer. They were too overwhelmed, t
This isn’t over
Lucas walked out of the warehouse with fury. The fear that had once chained him down was gone. In its place was a sharp determination. He wasn’t only going to take Hector’s empire, he was going to destroy it piece by piece. For the next few days, Lucas moved like a shadow. He kept his head low, never staying in one place too long. He used different names, different accounts, and different contacts so no one could trace his steps. Every move was carefully planned. He began buying shares from Hector’s company quietly, using a false identity. At first, it was small amounts, nothing that would raise suspicion. But slowly, he started reaching out to Hector’s shareholders, men and women who had grown tired of Hector’s arrogance and greed. Lucas offered them deals that were too good to refuse. One by one, they sold their shares to him, not realizing who was really behind the mask. Lucas kept his secret tight, he never spoke of it to anyone, not even Freya. He knew Hector had eyes ever
Dominate Hector’s empire
The video spread everywhere within hours. People who didn’t even know Lucas were calling him violent and unstable. His name was trending online, and before the day ended, the police had already issued an arrest warrant. Lucas saw the police flashing lights from his bedroom window.Panic rushed through him, he couldn’t think straight, he didn’t know what to do. He knew they would arrest him without listening to his side of the story.So without saying a word, he left, ran away into the night, leaving Freya behind. His feet carried him far from home until he found an old warehouse on the edge of town. It was cold, damp, and smelled of rust, but it was the only place he felt hidden. He stayed there, curled up against the wall, listening to the silence and the sound of his own heartbeat. ---Freya didn’t sleep that night. She kept thinking about Lucas, wondering where he was, if he’s hurt and how shameful this must have been for him because he’s at the verge of falling from grace to
Assault
After the backlash, Lucas released a full audit that revealed how Hector’s fake charities were secretly being used to move money into offshore accounts. The documents showed clear evidence of laundering, and this quickly became a huge story. The media reacted strongly, with many reporters and commentators questioning Hector’s true personality and whether he had been hiding behind a false image all along. People began to wonder if Hector was ever honest, or if everything he built was based on lies. At the same time, another big question spread across social networks and news outlets: who was the person that leaked this information? Was it really Lucas, or was there someone else working in the shadows? The mystery of the anonymous leak added even more drama to the scandal, making the public eager to know the truth. The story grew bigger every day, with headlines focusing not only on Hector’s corruption but also on the unknown figure who exposed it. Some praised the leak as an act

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
