As the screen's icy blue glimmer flickered in the dark hallway, Nathan's hold on the encrypted drive grew more firm. The words burned like an unavoidable prophecy into his consciousness as the transmission pulsed menacingly. "The reckoning is just getting started." — The Architect The steel walls of the warehouse were being howled at by the raging storm outside. The earth trembled beneath them as thunder boomed in the distance. But the real storm was right here, ready to hit in the shadows, not out there.Anita gulped forcefully while keeping her eyes fixed on the TV. There was something about those words that made her shiver. the architect. Although it was a name she had never heard of, it bore the weight of a constant presence—someone who had been keeping an eye on them from the start. Sophia took a step forward, her face white. She repeated, her voice hardly audible above a whisper, "The Architect?" "There have been whispers, but I assumed they were merely rumours." Gre

The realisation that the Architect was already inside caused Nathan's mind to race. There was an overwhelming hush in the penthouse. Everything appeared abnormally loud, as though the building itself was holding its breath. This included the distant buzz of city traffic, the rustling of air from the air vents and even the quiet tick of the wall clock. Anita stood next to him, her heart pounding as she looked for answers in his expression. The fear he couldn't let her see, not when things were getting out of hand, was reflected in the terror in her eyes. He sensed that something was wrong. A chill had crept down his spine as soon as they had reached the penthouse, alerting him to the peril that lay ahead. Every instinct told him that their adversaries were already here, in the precise location he believed to be his haven, rather than merely hiding in the shadows. Nathan said in a quiet, hurried voice, "Get the security team to sweep the entire building." Examine every floor and every

A sharp, burning pain from the bullet's graze on Nathan's shoulder sent him reeling back into the room's chaos. Before his intellect could react, his instincts took over and his body began to move. Panic swept through the room as he shoved Anita to the ground and protected her with his own body as gunfire reverberated. Her body shook under him as the blast of sound drowned out Anita's scream. "Nathan!" she said, her voice brimming with fear. Nathan restrained her with a force commensurate with the gravity of the situation, even as she attempted to push herself up."Anita, stay put! Keep still! He spoke in a strong voice with a hint of desperation. His thoughts were racing; everything was moving too quickly. The Architect had stopped playing games and was launching a full-scale assault. Furthermore, he had no idea who had been deceiving him all along. Another shot went off, this one closer. Even though blood was leaking from Nathan's shoulder, he found it difficult to lift

Nathan’s breathing was hard, his side scorching from the cut Sophia had caused. His clothes was saturated in blood, and the air was heavy with the smell of metal, but he would not show them how weak he was. His thoughts were racing, calculating, trying to find a way out. Harry and Sophia stood side by side across the room, a triumphant, warped picture of treachery. Harry's grin was filled with contentment, and Nathan felt a new surge of rage when Sophia laughed icily. "I must confess, Nathan," Harry remarked, his tone brimming with derision. "Observing you in this state? Bleeding and helpless? It's a pretty sight.Nathan's vision darkened at the edges, and his jaw tightened. Throughout his life, he had battled to always be one step ahead of those like Harry. Yet, here he was, standing at the mercy of two people he had once misjudged. With her hands shaking at her sides, Anita took a step forward. Her eyes were filled with fear, but underlying that was something more fierce

The restaurant was enveloped in an oppressive silence. Between Nathan and Harry were the falsified papers, a black-and-white declaration of war. Beneath the table, Anita's palm clutched Nathan's, her pulse racing against his flesh. Her searching stare weighed heavily on him, waiting for him to break the trap Harry had so meticulously prepared. Leaning back in his chair as if unconcerned, Nathan let out a deep exhale. A sneer formed on his lips, but beneath it his blood boiled. "Excellent work, Harry," he remarked, patting the folder's edge. "I'll give it to you." Harry grinned more broadly. "I knew the craftsmanship would be appreciated by you."Sophia's amused eyes shone as she crossed her arms. It's actually that easy. You must either watch your empire fall apart or allow us to take it away. Nathan tightened his jaw. He was a man who lived his life foreseeing dangers and thwarting them before they had a chance to establish themselves. However, this was a personal matte
