The perfect opportunity
The Perfect OpportunityEthan Graves remained silent for a long moment.His fingers tapped lightly against the armrest of his chair as he stared at the financial reports spread across his desk.Marcus didn't interrupt. He knew this was the moment that mattered.The idea had already taken root and it only needed a little push.Finally, Ethan looked up. "You're suggesting I buy a part of the Lawson Construction."Marcus smiled. "Exactly." He adjusted slightly. “Step in and become the majority shareholder of lawson corporation. You don’t have to run it in person, you can just sit back and I’ll manage it.”Ethan leaned back."The company is bleeding money with no contracts, the subcontractors are not paid and the Investors are nervous employee protests, falling stock prices and outstanding liabilities.”Every point he listed sounded like a reason not to touch the company.Yet Marcus's smile only widened. "That's precisely why it's the perfect opportunity."Ethan raised an eyebrow. Marcus
Interesting offer
Marcus sat alone in his office, staring at his phone.The conversation with Vanessa earlier continued replaying in his mind. Three major contracts gone at the same time that was really bad and worse still Vanessa was depending on him. The situation was far worse than he had initially imagined. He had just wanted to have the time of the life with Vanessa before the end of the year. He had fallen out of favor with his father overseas and had been sent back as punishment until he performs well. Although he was a staff one one of the big corporations that withdrew their contract he had no influence on the board. He was just a junior marketing officer. The only on person that could help him in this was Ethan. After hesitating for several minutes, Marcus finally scrolled through his contacts and stopped at a particular contact. Ethan Graves.The second-generation heir of the Graves family. His position as the heir has not been confirme for now was far from secureHis older half-broth
The Buyout Offer
Vanessa left the office later that afternoon with a pounding headache. Vanessa felt genuinely helpless.The only person she could think of was Marcus.She immediately called him."Vanessa?"His voice sounded unusually cautious."Marcus, the contracts. I lost them. I tried to get them back without bothering you. "Her voice trembled."Ziyech Limited, Hemspring and GreenRock Infrastructure."Marcus nearly choked. "What?""They all pulled out."Vanessa's grip tightened around the phone.Marcus felt his scalp go numb.This was far bigger than he had imagined. This looked like a full-scale corporate collapse.Three major contracts getting withdrawn for no reason who would have such power to do that?Unfortunately, he had absolutely no idea what to do. Marcus scratched the back of his head nervously.In front of Vanessa, he always projected confidence. Power, connections and Influence. He bit his lips. He had taken credit when she had mysteriously gotten the contracts that was why she came

Chapter 27: The First Move"Good."Adrian set the report down and leaned back in his chair.A week ago, he had still been dealing with divorce papers, accusations, and endless drama.Now he was sitting on the top floor of Orion Holdings overlooking the entire city.The difference felt surreal.For three years, his world had revolved around Vanessa.Her company, ambition, family and her dreams.But now?Adrian stared at the sprawling skyline beyond the glass windows. For the first time in years, he wasn't building someone else's future.He was building his own.Across from him, Emilia sat with several reports spread out before her."The latest projections came in this morning."Adrian nodded.He didn't even need to read them because he already knew what they would say.Lawson Construction was running out of road.The company had always looked successful from the outside, but Adrian knew better than anyone how fragile it truly was.Vanessa had spent the last year expanding aggressively
Contracts
The following morning.Vanessa barely slept. She was so nervous. Ever since the gala, an uneasy feeling had settled deep inside her chest.She sat behind her office desk, staring absentmindedly at the city skyline through the floor-to-ceiling windows.The previous night's conversation with Adrian kept replaying in her mind.His cold expression and his indifferent tone.The way he had walked away without looking back.Vanessa clenched her jaw.Why was she even thinking about him?The company had far bigger problems right now.Just then the office door burst open."President Lawson!"Vanessa immediately looked up.Her secretary rushed inside, looking visibly panicked.Vanessa's heart skipped a beat."What happened?"The secretary swallowed hard. "We've received official notices from three more companies."Vanessa frowned."What notices?"The secretary placed several documents on the desk.The moment Vanessa read the first page and her face turned pale.Contract Termination Notice.The
Apologize
The gala was gradually winding down.Many of the important guests had already begun leaving, while others remained in small groups discussing business opportunities and future partnerships.Adrian stood near one of the side corridors and Emilia walked beside him."Heading back already?" she asked.Adrian nodded."I've had enough socializing for one night."A faint smile appeared on Emilia's face."Going back to the hotel?""Yeah."The two continued walking toward one of the quieter exits.Just as they reached the doorway, a familiar voice suddenly called out."Adrian."Both of them stopped and Adrian frowned slightly.Vanessa stood several feet away.She had clearly been waiting.The silver evening gown she wore earlier was still stunning, but there was a tension on her face that hadn't been there before.Emilia glanced between the two of them."I'll wait outside."Without waiting for a response, she walked ahead and left through the doors.Vanessa crossed her arms."So this is your p
