Chapter 92 Let’s Go PublicCarlos read the plan once more before nodding. Miguel and Ximena waited for what felt like an eternity. In her apartment the atmosphere was tense, oppressive as if it was charged with all that was going to occur. Vega and Tania had taken their shot, and it was time for the rest of the team to play. The revelation of the conspiracy to the public would alter everything but it was not clear whether this was enough.Miguel was sitting on the couch with his phone in hand waiting for word from Carlos. Ximena, who was across him, walked the room nervously and with lot of energy. Sometimes, they stared at each other, and meanings not shared between the two were spoken in silence.“We are really doing this” Ximena echoed in a low tone to break the silence.Miguel straitened, and his eyes rose to meet her, noting the quiver in her tone. He did not doubt her strength but this was a big gamble. If something went wrong they could lose everything. “We can’t do otherwis

Chapter 93 The notifications on Ximena’s phone kept coming in non-stop. The minute Carlos had thrown the exposé to the press, the media turned into a furious volcano. Vega Investment was mentioned in every leading newspaper and television channel regarding the conspiracy at Antonio’s Group. Headlines of corruption, betrayal and secrets pointing fingers at them. But it wasn’t just the company that was under the spotlight now; it was her.Ximena stood paralyzed in front of the screen with her heart racing and sweating. She had expected this to happen anytime soon. Once the truth was out, Vega wasn’t going to take it lying down about his so-called involvement with an actress half his age. And Richard? He was not going to be overlooked by everyone in the scheme that he was part of. She had thought there would be a retaliation, but this… this was savage.“Miguel,” she said out loud, looking up from her phone, “they’re coming for me.”Miguel was standing by the window with his phone in h

Chapter 94 A Kiss with the DevilMiguel stood with his back against the wall just outside the boardroom door and his nerves were getting the better of him. He had been waiting for what seemed to be ages and the more Ximena waited inside the room the more impatient he began to feel. He knew what she was up against; Richard wasn’t holding back; he wasn’t just throwing empty punches. It had helped, though the exposure of Vega was not enough and Richard did not stop with the smear campaign, going after Ximena and her family next.Miguel had read the headlines, the articles that portrayed her as an unfit candidate to lead Antonio’s Group. He was also angry with how easily people were ready to accept the falsehoods. But Ximena? She didn’t flinch. This woman strode into that boardroom with a look on her face indicating she meant to win this battle. And Miguel loved her for that more than anything he had ever done before.No sooner had his thoughts returned to the last conversation they h

Chapter 95Exposing the Devil Ximena walked out of the building with her heart racing and her thoughts packing a hundred and one things she had seen. She was more shocked than she expected when she saw Miguel and Tania hugging each other tightly. She attempted to maintain a slow and regular rate of walking, but the heat of her rage turned the soles of her shoes into drums against the marble halls.Miguel’s voice echoed from behind her. “Ximena, wait! Please!”She didn’t stop. She couldn’t. If she did, the anger and pain she bottled inside would've exploded and created havoc. She drew the glass door at the entrance and fresh cool air brushed her face but her mind was still going round and round.“Ximena!” Miguel shouted again, and his voice echoed around her as he followed her with increased speed. But she didn’t turn around. She wouldn’t allow him to see her cry, and the tears that welled up in her eyes.---The next morning, Ximena sat in her office, tapping idly on the edge of t

Chapter 96The voting will be held tomorrow, but that night, it felt like the whole world lay on Miguel's shoulders. He sat in his apartment staring out into the city lights, his mind was very far away from the view.Ximena had somehow managed to present her case to the board, yet the decision was still too close to call.Richard didn't lay low while the media into Ximena's family had been nonstop. He leaned back into the couch; his head replayed the scene which had played itself out earlier in the boardroom that day. Ximena had been firm, composed, and presented the facts with great restraint.But that smile of Richard's - the subtle confidence, it all gnawed at Miguel. The man did have something up his sleeve, something that nobody could see.His phone buzzed on the coffee table, and Miguel looked down to find a message from Ximena."Can we talk?"A beat longer, he was silent. That still smarted, the memory of her storming out of the office, incensed after catching him with Tania.

Chapter 97 After the Storm The cabin was peaceful, nestled in a forest, free from the vibrations of the town, and the constant roar of Antonio’s Group. Quietness welcomed her like the much needed comfort after the storm of the previous few months.The board vote was two days ago, two days ago when she fought Richard and Vega, the media hurricane that almost engulfed her. The vote had been in her favor; Antonio’s Group was secure for now, but victory was not what she had expected it to be. She had done it for her family, and has lost so much in the process!Richard had betrayed her and it still felt fresh like an open sore but it was deeper than that. It was the tiredness, the struggle, the burden that was thrown upon her. She had won the war but now she wondered where to turn; she was all wet and did not know where to go. So she had taken time for herself – a break, a withdrawal in order to gain some perspective.It had been in her family for generations, it was her father’s san

Chapter 98 Charles Returns The glass doors of Antonio’s Group opened and Ximena had the exact second to draw a breath before being assaulted by the sounds of glasses clinking and happy voices. Her vacation to take a break had been over. It was time to return to work.She stopped, opening her eyes wide in shock as all the employees who had been dispersed throughout the lobby, lifted their glasses of wine and cheered. Their glasses hit the table in unison, and then cheers erupted all at once, congratulating her.“Well done, Ximena!” some shouted as they looked at her with joy and admiration on their faces. The pressure of the past weeks appeared to be shed off momentarily by the support that they were receiving.The vote on the board had been in her favor. They were safe, at least for now and the feeling of getting out of a fix that was starting to dawn on Antonio.Ximena smiled, she felt happy and even thanked them for their help. “Thank you, everyone,” she said, her voice confiden

Chapter 99Ximena was still trying to comprehend what Charles had said with her throat feeling constricted. Vega was busy with their schemes, behind the scenes, unknown to Ximena, planning the attack on Antonio’s Group. The win from the board vote seemed like it was in another life now, and fear was slowly creeping into her system. “How did you get to know all this?” Ximena asked, her voice sounded harsher than she wanted it to be. She needed answers. She needed the truth.Charles looked at her but he was momentarily lost for words, his eyes shifted away from her line of sight. He looked confused, and it only made her even more angry. “Charles,” she repeated softly, approaching him, her pulse quickening. "I’m talking about having to know everything if one wants to protect the company. You know you can’t pull me into a conversation like that and then start withholding information.”He took a deep breath and raked his fingers through his hair, frowning a little. “I have… sources.”

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

Chapter 131: Crossed WiresAcross the ballroom, Miguel watched Tania and Salazar speak in hushed tones with an arguing suspension in his stomach. It was so easily done to distrust her. She showed up completely out of the blue, her history with Vega coming to mind first.But before he could dwell deeper on it, she noticed him watching her, flashed a familiar, flirtatious smile, and started making her way over."Miguel," she said, greeting him playfully. "I didn't think I'd see you here tonight. It's been a while, hasn't it?"He remained polite, cautious in his distances. "It has, Tania. I didn't expect you to show up here either.""Oh, I'm sure you didn't," she returned, laughing softly. "But sometimes it is nice to catch up, especially with old friends."She cocked her head; her eyes glinting with something that made Miguel wary. "I hope you don't mind if I interrupt your evening for just a moment?"Before Miguel could utter a reply, he saw Ximena's eyes dart over from across the way

Chapter 130: Shadows in Plain SightAntonio's Group sat in silence, the air thick with tension, as Miguel and Ximena pored over the latest reports. Certainly a rumor had reached them about possible involvement by Vega, but nothing sounded as ominous as the threads that they were unraveling now."Salazar's actions just don't quite add up," Ximena whispered, scanning through yet another set of transactions. "He's missed three board meetings in the last month. And each time he's absent, something critical either leaks to the press or falls into Vega's hands. It feels almost like a timing precision too good to be true."Miguel nodded, his eyes razor-sharp with focus. "I've had a strange feeling about him, too. He's evasive every time we bring up the financial discrepancies, almost as if he is covering up for someone or himself."Ximena looked up, her face aflame. "Tonight's fundraiser will have the whole board, Salazar included. We need to confront him there, in a public setting where h

Chapter 129: Shadows and SecretsMiguel arrived at the headquarters of Antonio's Group, his mind still fresh with Ximena's urgent message that morning. He went into her office to find her already at her desk, with papers all over, her face knitted with worry. She looked up as he came in, and he could see the stress shadowing her usually steady gaze."Thanks for coming so quickly," she said, gesturing to the stack of papers."What's going on?" Miguel asked, stepping forward to reach for the documents."Caden Holdings," Ximena replied, huffing. "After everything we did to reassure them, they're going cold feet on their position with us."Miguel's eyebrows furrowed as he flipped through the papers. "They're second-guessing us again? After all we did to stabilize this place?"Ximena nodded. Anger was taut in her tone. "They're still anxious. It's like every reassurance we give them only keeps them steady a minute before something else rattles them."She crossed her arms, leaning back s
