Isabel Cruz POVThe furious typing sound of the keyboard and the humming of the air conditioner were the only sound you could hear in the room. I was preparing the contract to be signed by my new investors. I couldn't believe how a company that I started just two years ago was already gaining popularity and trust from the masses. This was a feat that took my father years to achieve, but I did it in two years. I wish my parents could have been here to see this. Cruz group was currently ranking number ten in the top company list." Isabel!" Someone shouted my name getting me startled. My attention immediately diverted to the source of the shout." Gosh Talia you got me startled." I said breathing in relief. " I had been calling you for a while now." " I'm sorry I didn't hear you, I'm just trying to finish up this contracts before next week, how's everything with the company?" I had refused to show my face to the public, no one knows the face behind the owner of Cruz group not even my

Miguel's POV" If you check in page two of the contract papers before you, everything you asked to facilitate this business transaction are all in there." I said with a calm tone as I looked at the three gentlemen that were sitting in front of me.One of the men whispered into the ear of the man sitting in their middle. Immediately the middle man picked up the pen and signed the paper." Congratulations Mr Martinez, I anticipate doing business with you." He said stretching his hand out for a handshake. I quickly locked my hands with his." You would not regret it for one day." I said confidence in my tone. Now, that is how to seal a contract legally. Being a CEO for the past two months has proven to be very stressful. I had made so many tough decisions, taken so many risk, made a few losses and bagged a lot of contract. People expected me to be like the former CEO, my father. They expected me to have to bribe people and companies into entering a contract with me. But where is the val

Elena's POVFlashback I sat in a corner of the cafeteria as I watched everyone. Every other person were eating lunch like kings except me who had just two fingers of banana and a bottle of water. That's what people who enter Ivy league schools by scholarship are made to go through. I felt so out of place in this school but I had to take the opportunity when they offered me scholarship. My eyes scanned around the rich children as I ate my banana and my eyes met with hers. It was the Lawson heiress, I always wanted to be like her. She looked away after a few minutes. I had to make her my friend that way I stop being an outcast. After school I took a bold step to meet with her. I stood in front of my locker watching her. As she was about to go out through the exit, I walked backwards, and bumped into her making her books fall" I'm so sorry." I said as I helped her pick the books up." It's fine" she said with a small smile as she took the books from my hand." My name is Elena"" I'm

Isabel POVI poured more wine into my cup left resting back to focus on the television. I had streamed the whole product launch event of Martinez corporation since I was unable to go. I was glad I could help him with his product. My eyes caught a glimpse of someone, Antonio. He was greeting Miguel Martinez with Elena by his side. My phone vibrated and I checked the caller.Miguel Martinez. As expected. I connected the automated voice before swiping the answer button." Good evening, Miss Cruz." My eyes widened in realization. How did he even get to know my gender? I decided to play dumb knowing that he could be playing mind games." Good evening Mr Martinez, lovely event you had."" Well, you couldn't show up to even give your speech yourself, how can you be so sure." " I apologise for my absence but it was inevitable." " I understand, you clean up so good though. No one has ever seen you not even at your merchandise drop off locations."" Someone had been doing a background check

Isabel POV I stood in front of the restaurant staring at the familiar door. It looks like I've obviously been here before, I gasp as my assistant the memory flowed right back." No." I voiced out. " What do you mean no?" Talia asked confused at my facial expression." Are you sure this is the venue?" " Yes, this area has been secluded for a while so there aren't much people here." " I can't go into that restaurant." I said walking back to the car. " What do you mean? You said you have to save your company?" She said following me closely behind." Yes, that exactly what I said but not this venue. No hear." Tears were already streaming down my cheeks and my hands were vibrating. " What's wrong Isabel? Talk to me please." She pleaded this time in a calm voice. " I can't just go through that door, I just can't." I said before entering the car.I sat down in my room curled up in one corner of the room. I had refused to eat or see anyone not even Talia. " Isabel you know this is not he

Miguel POVI paced the length of my room as I waited impatiently for the effect of my act. Few minutes later I heard the shrill sound of my ringtone. I smirk knowing I have the upper arm. I swiped the answer button." You better have a good explanation." I said immediately the call connected." You are breeching your contract by withdrawing your shares before the end of the said contract." I was suprised at her choice of word. I had expected her to have been begging for forgiveness but rendered me speechless." You also didn't keep your end of the deal." I said " Last I remember the contract was I help you with your product and you invest in my company. There was a stipulated period of time for your shares to remain with us." She said. The perfect comeback. " Right now, what you are hearing are called speculations, rumours that the Martinez corporation are going to stop doing business with Cruz group. I have not withdrawn from your company, at least not yet. If I don't get my reques

Miguel POV " You better have a fucking good reason why you followed me down here." I said in a low tone to Vanessa." Chill out, I'm not following you. I have business here." She said taking a sip from the glass of scotch in her hand. "Business? So what are you doing at my parents house?" " Well it's been long I saw you and your parents are really lovely people. So I just decided to drop by." She said with a smirk." I don't want to see you near me or my family, keep your distance." I said before walking away. Sleeping was harder as I kept replaying my meeting with Miss Cruz. She is quite mysterious and intriguing. " A merger? How bad could that be?." I asked to myself. I get to help her company and she also gets to help me. Those were the thought that filled my mind before I was welcomed by sleep.I rolled my box against the airport tiles as I approached the departure area. I was to fly to Korea to seal a business deal. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I double clicked on t

Isabel POV " Here you go, chocolate chip cookies just the way you like it." Uncle Fernando said before dropping a plate of chocolate cookies in front of I and Talia. " Thank you sir." Talia said before taking a piece." Uncle Fernando I came to talk to you about something really important." I said with a tone of seriousness." What is that dear?" " The Lawson fortune was taken by my ...ex husband." I said the last part in a low tone." How could you let that happen?" " It was a mistake, that's why I need your help to get it back uncle. I can't sit here and watch them enjoy what Dad worked for."" Then how do I help, you know I retired a long time ago." " You still have shares in the company right?" I asked anticipating a positive response but the response I was not good. " Well your dad, took away all the shared I bought in the company when I retired." He said as he furrowed his eyebrow.

"Feeding off what?" Caleb asked, his rifle sweeping the area.Before Finn could answer, a low growl echoed through the village. The team froze, their weapons trained on the source of the sound. From the shadows emerged creatures unlike any they had faced before. Their forms were barely humanoid, their bodies composed of writhing tendrils and jagged shards of obsidian. Their glowing eyes burned with malice."Contact!" Ruby shouted, firing the first shot.The creatures attacked with terrifying speed, their movements unnatural and erratic. Caleb fired at the nearest one, his bullets shattering its obsidian exterior but failing to slow it down. Selene charged forward, her blade glowing as it sliced through a tendril that lashed out at her."Aim for the cores!" Finn yelled, his device beeping wildly.

''I'll feel better if I sleep, I told myself.Ghb yuu yuu y7u rrd tre oil uiuBut immediately as I was about drifting into sleep, I heard a sound that made me jump right up from bed.Asher's ears sparked in defense, his growl filling the whole room. The sound alone sent a chill running through my spine, but I couldn't look away from the window. There was a shadow outside that seemed to shift, stretching and bending unnaturally than they should have.I stood in fear, not being able to feel my legs which felt heavy. All I could hear was the sound of my heartbeat which kept on thundering in my chest. A loud bang at the door made me jump from my bed. I gasped out of shock, crawling on my knees in order to peep through the door. before I could even make it, the door burst open with enough force to slam against the wall. Two figures stood in the doorway, covered in dark shadows.GyyTheir eyes were glowing with yellow, a sight that

"Another kilometer," Finn replied, adjusting the scanner. "But the energy is… erratic. It's like the cluster is unstable, but it's pulling resources from somewhere."Ruby nodded, her grip tightening on her rifle. "Stay alert. The Shadow never makes things easy." The whole team were on high alert as they lifted their weapons higher ready to attack at the slightest movement The cluster appeared suddenly, nestled within a narrow gorge. Tendrils of dark energy snaked along the ground, pulsating faintly. At its center was a twisted structure, a crude spire of shadow and stone that seemed to breathe with unnatural life."Looks like a smaller version of the core," Finn murmured. "But it's… fractured. If we can destabilize it, the whole thing should collapse."Ruby surveyed the area. "Let's make it happen. You handle the spire. I'll cover you."As Finn approached the structure, the ground trembled. Creatures emerged from the shadows, their forms misshapen but vicious. Ruby fired a quick burs

Finn's scanner beeped intermittently, struggling to maintain accuracy. "The interference is worse than I expected," he admitted, frowning at the flickering display. "We're flying blind out here."Selene's eyes scanned the horizon. "Then we rely on instincts. This isn't the first time we've worked without a map."Zoe smirked faintly. "She's right. Besides, if anything jumps out, I'll just cut it down."Ruby kept her rifle at the ready, her voice cutting through the tension. "Stay sharp. Whatever's waiting for us, it knows we're coming."The signal led them to an ancient ruin, partially buried beneath layers of shadow-infused earth. The structure was unlike anything they'd encountered before—crumbling stone walls laced with veins of pulsing dark energy. Tendrils of shadow coiled and twisted through the air, moving as if alive.Finn's eyes widened as he studied the ruin. "This place… it's amplifying the signal. The core's energy is dormant but concentrated here. If we can disable it, we'

Ruby led the way, her voice cutting through the chaos. "Stay together! Keep moving!"A massive tendril slammed into the path ahead, cutting them off. Selene darted forward, her blade slicing through the tendril in a single, decisive strike. "Go! I've got this!"The team pushed forward, the exit coming into view just as the chamber let out a deafening roar. They burst into the open air, the ground beneath them trembling as the chamber collapsed entirely.Finn stumbled to his knees, his scanner clutched tightly in his hands. He stared at the screen, his face pale. "The energy… it's… it's heading somewhere else."Ruby turned to him, her expression grim. "Where?"Finn looked up, his voice shaking. "I don't know. But whatever it is, it's not good."The team's breaths came in heavy gasps as they stared out over the Wastes. The Shadow's remnants weren't just lingering. They were regrouping, gathering strength for something far worse.Ruby's grip tightened on her rifle. "We'll stop it. Whatev

The mechanical voice over the intercom had been haunting in its finality: "Containment protocol initiated. No one leaves."I bolted from the server room with my laptop clutched to my chest, my mind racing. Somewhere in these files was a way out, a weakness in the system I'd unwittingly helped build."Miguel!" I called, spotting him barricading the main corridor. His eyes snapped to me."What did you find?" he demanded, not pausing in his task of positioning wreckages for cover."More data on the project—but it's a mess. They've buried the important files under layers of encryption.""Then unbury them," he snapped. "We're running out of time!"I didn't argue. My hands shook as I knelt beside him, setting up my laptop on a nearby crate. The battle outside raged, but my focus was on the scre

Miguel's POVThe headlights caught her face fully now, and there was no mistaking it.Our mother.Her face was pale, lined with the kind of exhaustion that only comes from years of pain, yet her eyes held that same piercing intensity I remembered as a child.Fifteen years. Fifteen years without a word. Without an explanation.I pushed open the car door. Cold air hit me, but my chest burned hotter than ever."Stay in the car," Dad ordered, his voice taut with authority."Like hell I will." I stepped out, heart pounding. "Fifteen years. And you think showing up now—like this—is enough?"She took a step forward."Miguel, please. There's so much you don't—"I cut her off, my voice trembling. "Then explain it. No more riddles. No more secrets. Why now?"Behind me, Isabel's voice cut through the tension."Miguel! Diego's pulse is dropping again!

The air in the resistance base buzzed with an energy that was equal parts anticipation and dread. Though Ruby and her team had delivered a crippling blow to the Shadow, the cracks in the landscape, the faint echoes of corruption still lingering in the Wastes, spoke to a danger far from eradicated. The Shadow's remnants were more than just scars; they were seeds, threatening to sprout into new horrors if left unchecked.Ruby stood in the command center, leaning over a table strewn with maps and tactical reports. The dim light overhead cast sharp shadows across her face. Evelyn's voice was sharp as ever as she discussed deployments with the council."We've dispatched scouts to all regions marked by Finn's residual energy readings," Evelyn said, her fingers tracing the map. "But reports from the south are troubling. A village near the Wastes border… it's gone dark. No communication. No survivors seen leaving."Finn adjusted his device, the holographic map flickering to life above the tab
