Conference room Layla swept into the conference room, her presence commanding attention. The workers scrambled to their feet, bowing in unison as they greeted her with a chorus of "Welcome, Luna." The title, once a symbol of respect, now felt like a hollow mockery, a reminder of the power she had usurped from her sister.Layla's eyes narrowed, her gaze piercing as she surveyed the room. "What have you guys been doing?" she demanded, her voice laced with disdain. "Why is the stock price decreasing?" The questions were rhetorical, her tone implying that she already knew the answers.As she took her seat, her eyes scanned the room, her mind working overtime to calculate the extent of the damage.

Naya's sleek black car glided up the winding driveway, the mansion's grandeur looming before her like a palace. She brought the vehicle to a smooth stop, and before she could even switch off the engine, a stern-faced guard emerged from the shadows, his eyes narrowed in scrutiny."Can I help you?" he asked gruffly, his hand resting on the holster at his hip.Naya's confidence was unwavering. "I'm here to see Damien," she stated, her voice clear and authoritative.The guard's expression turned skeptical. "Do you have an appointment with him?" he asked, his tone implying that she was unlikely to have such a privilege.Naya's eyes flickered with confusion.

"Oh, you can't come in without an appointment," the guard muttered his tone a perfect blend of curiosity and wa
Nora lounged on her plush couch, her phone pressed to her ear as she chatted with the person on the other end. Her voice was animated, her words tumbling out in a lively rhythm as she laughed and gestured with her free hand. The soft glow of the lamp beside her cast a warm light on her face, illuminating her bright smile and sparkling eyes. "Listen to me carefully, because I'm only going to say this once," Nora's voice was low and husky, her words dripping with an underlying menace. "I don't want a rushed job, I want precision, I want perfection. Do it silently, without a trace, without a hint of error. Because if you make even the slightest mistake...if you slip up even once...you'll be the one who'll be left regretting it." Her tone was measured, each word enunciated with a deliberate slowness, as if to emphasize the gravity of her warning. The air seemed to vibrate with tension as if the very fate of the world hung in the balance. "I'm not someone to be trifled with,"

He had chosen Layla, his mate, over Nora's demands and manipulations, but at what cost?The chamber, once a symbol of his power and leadership, now felt suffocating, the shadows cast by the torches seeming to close in on him like a trap. Ethan's mind raced with thoughts of the future, wondering if he had made a grave mistake if he had sacrificed a piece of his family for his love for Layla.The silence was oppressive, a reminder that the consequences of his choice would linger, a constant reminder of the rift between him and his sister. Ethan's sigh was a heavy one, a resignation to the fact that things would never be the same a

He hesitated for a moment, his gut telling him that this call was not going to be good news. With a sense of trepidation, he answered, his voice firm but cautious. "Hello?"The voice on the other end was cold, detached, and sent a chill down Noah's spine. "If you want your sister alive, come get her." The line went dead, leaving Noah staring at his phone in horror.His heart racing, he immediately dialed Maya's number, but it bounced back, a harsh reality hitting him like a ton of bricks. Maya was unreachable, and the gravity of the situation hit him like a punch to the gut."Noah's eyes locked onto Lucas', his face set
