Chapter 141

Chapter 141: Trust ShatteredAcross from Henry sat Miguel, impassive. The older man leaned back in his chair, his impassive demeanor belying the tension in the room.Standing across the room by the window, Ximena clasped her arms tightly over her chest as she glared at the man she once considered a part of the trusted board membership.The evidence against him lay sprawled across the desk between them, staring in its simplicity yet damning in implications. "We know you've been accessing confidential files," Miguel began, his voice measured. "Files that were altered to mislead us and weaken Antonio's Group. Do you deny it?"Henry adjusted his tie, with a flicker of annoyance crossing his features. "This is a serious accusation that you're making, Miguel, and I would advise you to be very careful with claims that you make without real evidence."Ximena took a step forward, her voice slicing. "We have all the evidence we need. Clara traced the access directly to your office. And these f

Chapter 142

Chapter 142: A Calculated RiskBack at the Antonio's Group the next day, Miguel leaned back in his chair, still reeling over the tense café meeting he had with Amanda. Ximena paced restlessly across the room, arms crossed tightly over her chest. "I still don't trust her," she said, her voice a bit shrill. "She just comes out of nowhere, asking for a job, and suddenly she has all the answers? It doesn't sit right with me."Miguel nodded. His fingers drummed against the desk. "I understand. But Amanda's information corresponds too well with what we already know about Vega's financial moves. If she's lying, it's a damned calculated lie." Ximena stopped pacing, swinging to face him. "And if she's not lying? What's to stop Vega from retaliating the minute we act on her intel?"Miguel took a deep breath and ran a hand through his hair. "Nothing. Yet, if we don't do anything, Vega wins by default. We've come too far to turn back now." Ximena shook her head. For a moment, frustration flas

Chapter 143

Chapter 143: A Dangerous PropositionXimena had barely settled into her chair when the sound of heels clicking against the marble floor drew her attention. She looked up to find Tania sauntering into the office, swaggering with confidence around her like a shield. Miguel glanced from Ximena to Tania, an eyebrow furrowing in silent question as to what was bringing her this time. "Good morning," Tania said, a breezy light, through her eyes darted between them, shining with a glint of determination."What do you want, Tania?" Ximena asked icily, leaning back in her chair, arms crossed. Tania smiled slightly, undaunted by Ximena's overt hostility. "Relax. I'm not here to cause trouble. As a matter of fact, I think you'll want to hear what I have to say." Miguel straightened, already wary. "We're listening."Tania leaned in closer, lowering her voice as if the walls could hear her. "I can help you take down Vega." Ximena allowed a bitter laugh to escape from her lips and shook her he

Chapter 144

Chapter 144: A Dangerous GambleTania stepped through the glass doors of Vega’s towering headquarters, her expression calm and composed, even as her pulse hammered in her chest. A floor of immaculate marble reflected harsh overhead lighting; every sound in the large lobby seemed magnified: the clinking of heels, the quiet hum of distant conversations, the faint rustle of papers being shuffled. She held her head high, squared her back, and masked the rising unease beneath her exterior. Every step felt like a gamble, a delicate dance where one misstep could expose her.“Ms. Roberto,” the receptionist greeted, her polished smile just as rehearsed as Tania’s demeanor. “Mr. Vega is currently in a meeting. Please have a seat, and I’ll let him know you’re here.” Tania offered a tight smile in return. “Of course. Thank you.”She entered the waiting area and sat in one of the plush armchairs. This was a modern sleek decor with glass walls and chrome accents, impersonal-almost clinical.

Chapter 145

Chapter 145: The Final StrikeTania’s breath came in ragged gasps as she darted through the crowded streets, her pulse thundering in her ears. Behind her, the noise at Vega's headquarters became even more muffled, but she didn't dare take her foot off the pedal. Her heels hit the pavement, her hold on her purse solidifying; the external drive containing Vega's secrets rested well and truly safe inside. Down a quiet alley she went, now allowing herself to stop and lean her back against the wall.Her chest heaved, air sucking in as her mind whirled through a mess of fear and relief. She had done it, just barely. "Don't look back," she muttered, forcing herself to move again. The streets blurred together as she headed towards Miguel and Ximena's office, clutching the stolen files to her like a lifeline.When Tania burst into the boardroom at Antonio's Group, Miguel and Ximena looked up in surprise. In an instant, suspicion etched itself into Ximena's face, while concern furrowed M

Chapter 146

Chapter 146: Picking Up the PiecesXimena paced her office, but the tension in her shoulders just wouldn't leave now that Vega was finally behind bars. The last weeks had been a whirlwind that had shaken Antonio's Group, but had left them victorious. But despite the relief after seeing Vega's empire dismantled, Ximena couldn't shut out the feeling of unease that gnawed at her."Why do I feel like this isn't over?" she whispered to herself, her eyes straying to the hustle and bustle of the city outside her window. A knock at the door swept her from her musings. "Come in," she called out, rectifying her posture to an upright position. Miguel entered the room, his face stern yet composed. He carried a file under his arm, his demeanor a mix of friendliness and determination."You didn't come to celebrate," he said, his tone soft, yet playful. Ximena managed a small smile. "There's still so much to be done. Vega might be out of the picture, but the damage he created won't vanish in o

Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Exposing IntentionsXimena’s gaze remained fixed on the papers scattered across her desk, her fingers gripping the edge tightly. She had spent the last hour reviewing updates from Clara and speaking with trusted board members, but no amount of progress in rebuilding Antonio's Group could shake her frustration. Tania's meddling had cast a shadow over her achievements, and the whispers about her leadership weren't something she could ignore. A sharp knock at the door snapped her out of her thoughts. "Come in," she said curtly.Miguel came in; his face showed reserve, but his eyes showed worry. "I just spoke to Clara. She talked about the rumors milling around about you." Ximena blew out a deep breath, slumping back in her chair. "So now you know. And let me guess, Clara didn't have to say who started them, did she?" Miguel closed the door behind him and crossed the room to stand beside her desk. "It's Tania, right?"“Who else?” Ximena replied, her voice tinged with bit

Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Shadows of DoubtXimena sat in her office, her fingers drumming nervously against the polished mahogany desk. The gentle hum of the air conditioner filled the space as she stared at the towering stack of papers that lay before her. No matter how hard she tried, her mind strayed to the uneasy sense that had been growing in her now for days. Something wasn't right."Miss Antonio, are you okay?" Clara's voice cut into her reverie as she entered the room carrying a clipboard.Ximena blinked, forcing a tight smile. "I'm fine. Just tired." Clara nodded, but the furrows in her brow didn't disappear. "Let me know if you need anything before I head out for the night." "Thanks, Clara."As the door clicked shut, Ximena let out a long sigh. She wasn't fine. The strange sensation of being watched had been creeping up on her for weeks.First, it was the unfamiliar car parked outside her apartment. Then, the same car appeared near Antonio’s Group on multiple occasions. She shoo

Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Seeds of DoubtMiguel leaned against the railing of the balcony, looking out at the glittering city skyline. But his mind was miles away from this view. Ximena had been in his mind all day, the distant tone in her voice when they had spoken last, gnawing at him. He let out a sigh and ran a hand through his hair.He had tried everything to rebuild her trust, but the walls she had built around herself seemed higher than ever. "This isn't how it's supposed to be," he muttered. A buzz from his phone pulled him out of his thoughts. It was an invitation to a company event the next evening.He had not planned on going, but immediately the image of Ximena got him to change his mind. ---The next afternoon, Ximena entered Antonio's Group, holding her purse tight in her fist. Clara greeted but the words did not even reach Ximena.The sinister sensation of the last night was still present, and the dark figure she had seen stood forcefully in her memory."Good morning, Miss An

Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Whispered ThreatsXimena stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror, gripping the edges of the sink tightly. She had hardly slept, tormented by the disturbing encounter with Tania and that enigmatic figure from last night. Her intuition whispered to her that something was in the pipelines, something much more diabolical than simple jealousy. But how was she to tell Miguel when their relationship was already skating on very thin ice?She took a deep breath, readjusted her blazer, and left the bathroom ready to take on whatever else the day would bring.Miguel was standing in her office when she arrived at Antonio's Group. His arms were crossed, his eyes fixed on her as she stepped inside."You didn't answer my calls last night," he said after some time; his voice was low, yet firm.She set her bag down on the desk, not looking at him. "I needed space, Miguel. I can't have you hovering over me all the time." "This isn't about hovering," he said, stepping closer. "
