After a few words, Lorenzo stepped back slightly, his presence still commanding but his intention clear.

Questions.The walls were closing in. And worst of all, he knew it. His phone rested beside the bed. For several minutes, he simply stared at it.Waiting. Dreading the next call. The next problem. The next disaster.As if responding to his thoughts, the phone suddenly rang.The lawyer. Again. Alessandro answered immediately."What now?"The lawyer sounded exhausted."I met with him."Alessandro immediately understood."The associate?""Yes."Silence followed."And?"The lawyer sighed heavily."He's terrified."Alessandro laughed bitterly."That isn't news.""No."The lawyer lowered his voice."This is different."Alessandro's expression darkened."Explain.""He asked about immunity."Complete silence. For several seconds, Alessandro couldn't speak.nImmunity. That single word sent ice through his veins.Becau

    Morning sunlight poured across the island, but Alessandro felt none of its warmth.He stood in front of the bathroom mirror staring at his reflection.His face looked worse than ever. The exhaustion could no longer be hidden. The anxiety could no longer be ignored.For years, he had been the one controlling the board.Now he felt like a trapped piece being cornered from every direction.His phone vibrated. Another message. Another problem. He checked the screen. His associate.We need to talk. Immediately. Alessandro cursed under his breath. "Useless fool."He grabbed his jacket and left. Meanwhile, the investigation office was already alive with activity.Investigators moved between desks carrying files and reports. Coffee cups occupied nearly every surface. The evidence board had become enormous.Peter stood before it chewing on a pastry. One investigator pointed at him. "Breakfast again?"Peter looked offended. "Breakfast is important.""You had breakfast already." Peter shrugged.

    The next morning arrived with clear skies and calm waters. From the outside, the island looked exactly the same.Luxury yachts floated near the docks. Tourists crowded the beaches. Business executives attended meetings. Everything appeared peaceful.But beneath that calm surface, pressure continued building. Inside the investigation office, the atmosphere was more intense than ever.Stacks of documents covered every table. Evidence boards filled entire walls. Investigators moved nonstop. Nobody wanted to lose momentum.Peter entered carrying a tray loaded with coffee cups. One investigator looked up and sighed."Please tell me those aren't all for you."Peter placed the tray down. "Half."The investigator stared. "Half?"Peter nodded proudly. "I'm showing restraint."Laughter spread through the room. Even Lorenzo allowed a faint smile. Then another investigator rushed inside.His expression immediately caught everyone's attention. The room grew quiet. Lorenzo looked up."What happened

    The message from the lawyer continued echoing inside Alessandro's mind long after the call ended.They found something. Only three words. Yet those three words felt heavier than a mountain.Alessandro remained frozen beside the window. The island below still looked peaceful..Tourists laughed. Music drifted from nearby restaurants.Palm trees swayed gently beneath the afternoon breeze. Everything appeared normal. His life, however, was no longer normal. For the first time in years, he felt genuine panic.Not concern. Not stress. Panic. His phone rang again. The lawyer. Alessandro answered immediately."Where are you?" The lawyer lowered his voice."My suite.""I'm coming." The call ended.Minutes later, Alessandro entered the suite without knocking. The lawyer immediately locked the door. Neither man looked relaxed. Neither man sat down.The atmosphere felt suffocating. Alessandro spoke first. "What happened?"The lawyer rubbed his forehead. "I received calls.""From who?""People I kn

The island looked peaceful.But beneath that calm surface, pressure continued building. Inside the investigation office, nobody had gone home.Several investigators slept in chairs. Others worked through the night. Coffee cups covered every desk. The evidence board had expanded again.New photographs. New documents. New connections. The wall was becoming impossible to ignore. Lorenzo stood near the center of the room studying the latest reports.Peter entered carrying breakfast. Three sandwiches. Two coffees. A box of donuts. One investigator stared."Planning to feed the entire island?" Peter looked offended."This is called preparation." The investigator laughed."For what?" Peter sat down."The collapse."
