Chapter 110 The Makeup DinnerBy morning, Ximena woke up restless, her heart racing. The night with Miguel was truly passionate, strong; she let go of herself towards his desires at that very hot moment. Now, in the sun streams going through the window of her apartment, she couldn't help but wonder whether that was what should have been done.It had seemed such a cowardly thing to do, leaving Miguel's apartment while he was still asleep, but it had been a needed thing; space to clear her mind and unravel the tangled mess her emotions had become.She'd felt squeezed by the weight of the Vega case and strained relationships with both Miguel and Charles, like she was drowning.She let out a deep sigh and pulled the blankets away, sitting up in bed.The fight against Vega was about over-the one that plagued her heart was about to begin.And every moment with one or the other just always seemed to drop her deeper into confusion.Her phone buzzed on the nightstand, pulling her from her t

Chapter 111The next day, Ximena sat at her office desk with this Vega lawsuit hanging over her head, as if dark clouds were following her everywhere. She had just gotten off the phone with the legal team and had verified indeed that Vega had filed another lawsuit attacking the financial stability of Antonio's Group. Because they are relentless, push after push, trying to destabilize everything she had so strongly worked to protect.It was not just Vega's attack that had undone her.She remembered her morning conversation with Miguel; how he trapped her in the conference room and asked for an answer she did not yet have. She could still hear the ache in his voice, the silent despair, when he said, choose now to commit fully or let him go. His words still swirled in her head and haunted her.But as much as Miguel's ultimatum had shaken her, it had also clarified her. She couldn't keep stringing him along, couldn't keep bouncing between him and Charles, hoping she'd eventually figu

Chapter 112He sat alone in the office, leaning back in the chair with thoughts of Ximena occupying his mind. Days had gone by since Miguel gave her the ultimatum, and this silence weighed heavier with every passing hour.Suddenly, his phone buzzed on the table, cutting him through his thoughts, and he looked down to see that he had a message notification from Ximena."Miguel, can we meet? I need to talk to you."The message hit him like a torrent as he read it-his heart in a leap, a rush of emotion surging through. She wanted to talk.After weeks of tension, of uncertainty, she was finally reaching out.He could feel the anticipation start to build inside him, the pulse quickening as his fingers flew across the keyboard in response."Name the place and time. I'll be there."Hers came quick enough-a quiet café they had once gone to after a particularly long day in the office. It was a place of memories, a neutral place where she must have felt comfortable enough to go. He pocketed h

Chapter 113Goodbye CharlesXimena sat alone the morning after her night with Miguel, her mind racing. The moments they had shared left her lighter, and in a way, she had woken up feeling as though the weight of indecision had finally been taken away from her. Her choice for Miguel felt like the right step-one in which she could manage to build something real. Still, as she settled into work, an unease crept back in-one she could not shake.Nearly every major report, every contract, every document pertaining to Antonio's Group still bore Charles' name on it. He had not called her since their breakup, giving her space, yet his presence was still felt in the business dealings they had shared and the strong Vega lawsuit hanging over them.The legal battle was relentless; every new turn pushed Antonio's Group to the edge, and she couldn't help but wonder if she had done enough to save her company from Vega's clutches.No sooner had she plunged into a new stack of financial reports tha

Chapter 114The Peculiar MessageXimena was sitting alone in her office, the weight of her decisions lingering in the silence.An argument with Charles had finally ended, yet the aftermath still clung to her like a shadow.Letting him go was a relief, a necessary step in for herself and for Antonio's Group, and yet she could not shake this feeling of unease which had settled in her chest.He had crossed a line with her, one she could no longer ignore. She blew out a deep breath, turning her attention back to the files scattered across her desk. Vega's latest lawsuit was vicious, filled with accusations meant to stall them, drain their resources, and distract them from the real fight. But if she had any say, they wouldn't succeed.A soft knock on the door pulled her from her reverie. Marco, a trusted advisor and confident, entered, his face lined with concern."Ximena, there's something you ought to see," he said, closing the door behind him. He passed her a thick file, one unlike

Chapter 115 Return of TaniaThe office of Ximena was still, but her mind was buzzing with noise as she ran over and over in her head the mysterious message:"Be careful who you trust. Not everyone is as loyal as they seem."But the warning had remained locked in her head, though it had kept her on edge, restless, turning habitual confidence into doubt.She had too many dependents, too many friends who knew every development in Antonio's Group's prolonged battle against Vega.She opened the document on her laptop and scrolled down the list of all those people who had been closely involved in the case against Vega.It was Marco, her trusted advisor, who had brought her the information about the offshore assets. Her legal team was tireless, and then there was Miguel, who had been by her side every step of the way. But now, this message thrown into her path made her doubt everything. She felt wretched, knowing that at any moment any one of those relationships she had built could be tur

Chapter 116I Need YouThe night wore an inky blackness as Tania slipped silently into her apartment, looking around as she closed the door behind her. She had been laying low, not attending any social functions and avoiding social media; anything that might put Vega on a hint about her location. Deep inside, however, she knew it was only a matter of time before he got a hint of her location.She had let her game plan miscarry and Vega made it a point to take care of people who let him down.She had just breathed when, out of the blue, a sudden knock, sharp and clear, boomed in the apartment.Tania froze. Her heart galloped away like a racehorse on a track.She walked up to the peephole and saw the silhouetted forms of two men in dark suits, standing there, their faces cold and unrelenting. Vega's men."Open up, Tania. Mr. Vega wants a little chat, " one of them yelled out, the voice muffled though commanding.Panic choked her as she took a step back from the door, her mind racing

Chapter 117The thin light that filtered in through the curtains and a heavy weight of regret that finally woke Miguel. Sitting up in bed, he rubbed his eyes, and with the feel of cold waves, reality came crashing in. Tania lay next to him, still fast asleep, serenity etched across her face in the soft light of morning. How did this happen?He hadn't planned on any of this either, Tania just sort of showed up, her desperate plea, the way she'd leaned into him, looked at him as if he was the only one who could save her.It seeped into his defenses; some twisted replay of their old story, the one he thought he'd left behind, and last night he'd given in to the pull.He silently got out of bed so as not to wake her up and went into the kitchen, where he poured some coffee.He needed something to clear his head and give him the guts to face the mess he had made. As he was pouring the coffee, the image of Ximena flashed before his eyes: her face, her confidence; confidence he'd just no

Chapter 140: Breaking the CircleThe tension in Antonio’s Group grew tighter with each passing day. The threat of Henry's betrayal hung in the air; Miguel couldn't help but look over his shoulder, even in private. Miguel paced back and forth across the floor of Ximena's office while his mind reeled with schemes on how to handle their multiplying suspicions. Ximena sat with her elbows propped on her desk, sharp-eyed, going over Clara's findings once again."We need more than suspicion," Ximena said without looking up. Her voice was steady, but her hands had tightened on the edge of the desk. "If we confront Henry without solid proof, we risk tipping off Vega and worse, we could lose whatever leverage we still have."Miguel nodded, rubbing his chin in thought. "You're right. But we cannot afford to let this fester. If Henry's feeding Vega information, then we need to take action well before the quarterly report. We need proof, hard and clear."Ximena sank back in her chair, her gaze

Chapter 139: Boundaries of TrustMiguel couldn’t shake the tension lingering after the latest meeting with Henry. Whereas the older board member did give some critical information, the web of suspicion around them seemed to only thicken. It would seem with every new revelation to deal with that the walls of Antonio's Group closed in; the thin line between friend and foe increasingly harder to define. Determined to protect Ximena and the company, Miguel knew they'd have to tread carefully with every decision.Longer meetings and quieter strategy sessions in the privacy of Ximena's office had run the day. As night fell, she leaned back in her chair, massaging her temples. "I can't shake the feeling that we're running out of time," she admitted, her tone thick with frustration.Miguel watched her closely, his chest constricting where the fatigue was etched across her features. "We'll get through this," he told her with a calm, yet resolved tone. "But we cannot afford to miss one det

Chapter 138: Shadows of BetrayalMiguel could feel the tension radiating through the air as he and Ximena prepared for their next meeting with Antonio’s Group’s core team. Every step toward unmasking the truth was like peeling away from hidden agendas and shadows.They'd tightened every security measure they could, yet it gnawed on him thinking that someone on the inside could be working against them.As they turned toward the conference room, Ximena stopped, staring off into space."The whole thing with Vega.... it's changed everything. I hate that we have to question people we once trusted."Miguel nodded, catching the tumult in her voice. "I know. But until we are sure, we can't take any chances. Vega has made it clear that he will exploit any weakness he finds."They entered the conference room, Ximena taking her seat at the head of the table with confidence belied by the tension in her features. A few board members filed in, one of them Henry who paid silent respect to Ximena b

Chapter 137: Shadows in the DarkEvery word in the email's subject was a promise of retribution, spelling out in detail what was envisioned to happen if Antonio's Group continued to resist the influence of Vega.Miguel's hands clamped down on his desk as if to restrain himself. But his gut was screaming at him, to act now.He strode toward Ximena's office in rapid, determined steps. She was still hunched over her desk going over files under the muted office lights."Ximena," he said low but urgent.She looked up; instant concern flickered in her eyes as she took in his tense expression. "What's wrong?"He showed her the email, watching her face change from shock to steely determination. "So Vega's threatening me now?" she muttered, her tone barely containing the anger. Miguel nodded, his voice equally strained. "It would appear he is becoming desperate. I do not want you here alone-not with these threats hanging over us. We are increasing your security detail immediately."She shook h

Chapter 136: Lines of DeceptionMiguel sat at his desk, his mind heavy with tension since the beginning of the day. First, it was the threatening messages to Ximena, which were unsettling; now he had another angle to contemplate-a batch of documents from Henry.The subject line had read:"For the Protection of Ximena," an unsolicited move by a man who had long kept himself aloof from the politics of business.Miguel passed the documents along to Ximena with a simple message: "Take a look at these when you have a minute."Within minutes, Ximena knocked on his door frame; her eyes were already filled with incredulity. She came in and closed the door behind her, looking at his expression for explanation. "You just sent me those documents from Henry?" she asked, brow furrowed while holding up her phone.Miguel nodded, gesturing her to his desk. "Yes. He says they contain critical details about Vega's takeover strategy, supposedly information he thinks we'll need to counter Vega's next mo

Chapter 135: Lines of TrustMiguel and Ximena worked tirelessly in the days leading up to Antonio Group’s quarterly report. They knew if Vega had any plans to strike, this report's release was the avenue to spread chaos. They made sure they were not going to allow that to happen by revisiting every single security protocol there was: access to sensitive files was tightened, background checks of all their team members were reviewed again, and access lists of all personnel that would be in contact with the report were reassessed.Miguel leaned over a stack of security files, his face tense as he scanned the list of employees with access to the report. "We need to ensure that nobody outside of that list sees anything of the report before it is released. One misplaced file or leak and it's going to spread faster than we will ever be able to contain it.Ximena nodded, her intensity level matching his. "Agreed. We're in the spotlight more than ever right now. Vega's just waiting for us to

Chapter 134: A Suspicious AllyBack at the office, Miguel sat at his desk, the recent conversation with the unknown number weighing heavy on his mind. The interest of Vega for his support sounded disconcerting, unethical and not good enough to act upon. They needed hard evidence, concrete plans that could stop Vega's influence from dribbling any further into Antonio's Group. Just as he reached for his coffee, a knock came from his door."Miguel, may I have a minute?" the voice of Henry, one of the oldest board members, filtered through.He had always been present, the man who had shared work with Ximena's father in the past.Miguel nodded to let him in. "Of course, Mr. Henry. What seems to be the problem?"Henry shut the door behind him and for the first time, his face was somber.He sat down facing Miguel and wrung his hands."I'm coming to you because I feel this is the time I need to say something important. Vega… he contacted me recently and proposed a deal to work against Anto

Chapter 133: Bound by Trust Most of the day had been taken up at Antonio's Group, poring over the security protocols. They went over every recent interaction and activity by each board member with fine-tooth combs. Trust was even more fragile now since the confluence with Salazar. "We can't afford to miss anything," Ximena whispered, her eyes running down the latest reports. "I want to believe the rest of our board is loyal, but after what Salazar pulled, I won't take any chances." Miguel nodded, his eyes unflinching. "We are on the same page. And if anyone else gives any indication of being disloyal, the same thing that happened with Salazar will happen to them." They exchanged a glance; the weight of the day crowded in upon them suddenly. As the hours wore on, tiredness crept in to let them know they had reached their limit for today. Miguel looked at his timepiece and let the breath out. "Let's head back. We can pick this up tomorrow with fresh eyes," he said, giving her

Chapter 132: Breaking the SilenceMiguel continued pacing his office, the echo of Ximena's words from last night still reverberating in his head. She had asked him not to let her go, and he felt the weight of her trust settling deep inside. Their fragile but growing bond with each passing moment had become his source of motivation. But for that, he knew they had to bring an end to Vega's shadow over Antonio's Group and fast.Ximena entered the room, a determined look on her face. "I went over more of Salazar's records this morning," she said, handing him a folder. "The pattern is there, Miguel. Encrypted messages, confidential files shared outside our firewall, all leading back to him."Miguel took the folder, scanning over the documents she'd gone through and meticulously marked."So it is true. He's been feeding Vega with all that he needs to keep fanning doubt inside the company. The timing of these leaks, it has been deliberate. But we will have to make our approach with him su
