Chapter 151

Chapter 151: Circling ShadowsMorning sunlight spilled into Antonio's Group, glinting off glass walls and filling the office with its deceptively warm light. Ximena emerged from the elevator, heels clicking softly as she padded toward her office. The hum of conversations, ringing phones; the familiar cadences really should have been comforting. Yet unease clung to her like a second skin."Good morning, Miss Antonio," Clara greeted her with a bright smile. "Your schedule is lighter today, just a meeting with the legal team at noon.""Thank you, Clara," Ximena replied, her tone softer than usual. She glanced over the open floor, her eyes darting to unfamiliar faces. To her, every shadow seemed longer, every movement a potential threat.Once inside her office, she shut the door behind her and leaned against it, letting out a slow breath. The cryptic threats and the strange figure she had seen outside her building the night before were more rattling than she cared to admit.________

Chapter 152

Chapter 152: Beneath the SurfaceWith fast steps through the open floor, at the Antonio's Group, Ximena looked around, her eyes scanning every face. Was it her imagination, or were there more unfamiliar employees than usual? Paranoia had grasped her tightly since the previous night, and the photo from Miguel only worsened her fears.Good morning, Miss Antonio," Clara said brightly, carrying in both a tablet and a cup of fresh coffee. "Your day seems manageable, just the usual team meetings and the review of the contract later." Ximena nodded absently, already set on the dark corners of her room. "Thank you, Clara. Just. keep me updated."Clara paused, and sensing that something was wrong, nodded and returned to her desk. Ximena continued on into her office, slapping the door shut firmly behind her. She let out a deep breath and leaned against the door for a moment as her nerves unraveled.She thumped her bag onto the desk and dragged out her phone. That photo was really beginnin

Chapter 153

Chapter 153: A Brewing StormThe rhythmic hum of the coffee machine filled Ximena’s office as she stared blankly at the documents spread across her desk. Sleep had eluded her the previous night, replaced by an overwhelming sense of unease. The latest text message from the unknown number had turned her worry into dread.Clara came in, carrying a small tray with a mug of coffee. "Good morning, Miss Antonio. You look like you could use this.""Thank you, Clara," Ximena said, trying to reach for a smile but failing in the attempt, which hung on her face like an open-flapped exhaustion.Clara continued to stand, setting the tray down. "Miss Antonio, you've been coming across a little... distracted lately. Is everything all right?"Ximena could only stutter out some not-so-informative answer. "I've just got a lot all at once. Nothing I can't handle"Clara nodded but the furrow in her brow showed she was not buying it. "Well, if there's anything I can do, please let me know".Ximena nodded

Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Fractured TrustXimena gripped the phone tightly in her hand, racing heartbeat. This faceless threat was slowly drawing closer, and no matter how much Miguel insisted on shielding her, it felt as if walls were closing in.She had to know now.The early morning light filtering through her apartment met her as she entered the kitchen. Miguel who had stayed overnight on the couch, was up and leaning against the counter with a steaming cup of coffee."Did you sleep?" he asked, his voice gruff from lack of sleep."No," she answered honestly, throwing her phone onto the counter between them. "Another message came last night."Miguel frowned and picked up the phone to read the text. "We can't keep playing defense, Ximena. Whoever's behind this thinks they can just keep pushing you.""What do you suggest we do?" she asked, folding her arms."Take control," Miguel said with finality. "Gregorio's still working on tracking down the sender, but we need to take it to the next level.

Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Shadows of DeceptionShe hated feeling like she needed his protection, but the growing threats left her little choice.Ximena looked again at the window, her mind flickered to the black car that she noticed little across the street. It was gone, but not the shiver it caused in her.Each groan of the apartment was perceived as loud, feeding her paranoia.She sprang off the couch, grasping her chest, as the doorbell rang. Taking a deep breath, she looked through the peephole. Miguel stood outside, his expression determined, though there was a hint of worry.She opened the door, stepping aside as he entered."You okay?" Miguel asked, sharp eyes scanning the room."Fine," she returned shortly, crossing her arms. "You didn't have to come.""Yes, I did," Miguel said firmly, pivoting to face her. "We both know this isn't all in your head, Ximena."She exhaled in a sigh and waved her hand toward the couch. "Make yourself comfortable, then, since you're here."Miguel set his ke

Chapter 156

Chapter 156: Tensions RisingThe morning light crept through Ximena’s curtains, but it did little to chase away the heaviness that had settled in her chest. It was as if the events of last night were caught in continuous play in her head.Miguel sat serenely brewing coffee in the kitchen, but his placid exterior masked a growing tempest inside. Ximena was doing anything but sitting still in the living room, her mind matching her movements in restlessness."They're getting bolder," Miguel said, breaking the silence as he brought two mugs of coffee to the table.Ximena nodded, her arms wrapped around herself. "And we're still waiting on Gregorio to dig up something concrete. We can't just keep reacting, Miguel. We have to take the fight to them."Miguel leaned forward, setting his mug down. "We will. But we need to be smart about it. If we rush this, we risk everything."Ximena's jaw clenched, frustration brewing just beneath her skin. "They're backing us against a wall. And if we do

Chapter 157

Chapter 157: Tightening the GripXimena sat at her desk, staring blankly at her calendar. She'd spent all morning moving meetings around, trying to make sense of a schedule that had begun to feel utterly meaningless under the mounting threats.A knock at the door pulled her from her thoughts. Clara peeked in, the shine gone now from her face since the events of the past couple of days."Miss Antonio, Gregorio is here," Clara said quietly.Ximena nodded, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “Send him in.”Gregorio entered, his ever-practical briefcase in hand. “Morning, Miss Antonio. Miguel should be joining us shortly. We’ve got some developments you’ll want to hear about.”Ximena gestured for him to sit. “Developments?”Before he could answer, Miguel strode into the room, his expression grim but focused.“Let’s hear it,” Miguel said, taking a seat beside Ximena.Gregorio opened his briefcase, pulled out a few files, and laid them across the desk. "We have located Vega's

Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Countdown to ChaosSleep was out of the question. Ximena’s instincts told her this was more than another scare tactic.By the time the sun rose, she was already seated at her dining table with her laptop open and a steaming cup of coffee beside her. The clock ticked ominously as if counting down to an unseen disaster.Her phone buzzed, pulling her out of her thoughts. Miguel’s name lit up the screen.“Morning,” she said, trying to mask her exhaustion.“Did you sleep at all?” Miguel’s voice was tinged with concern.“Not really,” she admitted, rubbing her temples. “The message... I can’t stop thinking about it.”“Neither can I,” Miguel said. “But we have a plan, Ximena. We’re ahead of them.”“Are we?” Ximena asked, doubt creeping into her voice. “Or are we just reacting to whatever they throw at us?”Miguel caught himself and responded in a lower tone. "Meet me at Antonio's Group. Gregorio probably has more news for us."______________________________________The middle o

Chapter 159

Chapter 159: A Desperate MoveTania hesitated for a moment before turning on her heel and walking away, her laughter echoing in the empty street.Miguel turned to Ximena, his jaw tight. “Are you okay?”Ximena nodded, though her hands were still trembling. “Let’s just go.”…………………………………..Ximena was staring out the window of Miguel's car. Her reflection fluttered with the streetlights as they speed-crossed the city.Miguel has his hands clutched tight over the wheel. His knuckles were white. He glanced over to her and his jaw clenched. "You haven't said a word since we left. What is going on inside that head of yours?""What's the word of the day?" Ximena replied in a quiet tone. "That I don't want to play this any longer? That I'm tired of being a target?"Miguel let out a soft breath, his eyes remaining on the road. "You are not alone in this, you know that, right?"Ximena looked at him. "Do I? Because lately, it's feeling like I'm fighting for myself."Miguel was thinking of a come

Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Shadows Closing InMiguel paced back and forth, his frustration evident in the sharp clicks of his shoes against the polished floor. “She’s up to something. She always is. But I can’t risk dismissing this if it’s tied to Vega.”Ximena crossed her arms over her chest, easing back into her chair. "You're giving her too much credit. This is Tania we're talking about; a master manipulator. She wants you to believe she's our ally just so she can stay close."Miguel stopped pacing and faced her. "What if this time she's telling the truth?"What if she isn't?" Ximena shot back. "Every time we let her in, she leaves chaos in her wake."______________________________________Late that afternoon, Gregorio joined them in Ximena's office. His arrival brought much-needed clarity, though his face was as tense as theirs."I did some digging after Tania's sudden appearance," Gregorio began, placing a file on the desk. "And it seems she's not bluffing entirely."Ximena's eyes slitted a
