Victor's voice held a mix of concern and determination, a reflection of the emotions swirling within me."I don't know, Victor. But something tells me we're in for quite a challenge," I replied, my voice laced with a hint of apprehension. I surveyed the room, searching for any clues or means of escape.

"Anna, I need to talk to you about something. I've received an offer from a rival organization, and it's... it's tempting."My heart skipped a beat, a surge of unease coursing through my veins.

But what intrigued me the most was the emblem on the envelope—a symbol I had seen before, but couldn't quite place.With trembling hands, I carefully opened the envelope, revealing a single sheet of paper. The words written on it were stark and menacing: "Time to pay for your sins, Victor.

Anna's POVI stood in Victor's lavish office, my heart pounding in my chest, as the realization sank in. The person I trusted most, the one who had been by Victor's side through thick and thin, was nothing more than a double agent, a traitor working against us all along. The evidence was undeniable, and I felt a mix of anger, betrayal, and disbelief coursing through my veins."Markus," I uttered his name, my voice trembling with a mixture of shock and disappointment. "How could you do this? How could you betray us?"Markus, a man I had known for years and considered a friend, looked at me with cold, calculating eyes. There was no remorse, only a twisted sense of satisfaction in his gaze. "Anna, my dear, you should know by now that loyalty is a fickle thing in our world. I've always been a man of ambition, and Blackwood Enterprises was just a stepping stone for me. A means to an end."I couldn't believe what I was hearing. All the late nights, the countless meetings, the moments of tru
