From Nemises To Lovers

The moment Isabella hit SEND, the wheels were set in motion.

Across the city, encrypted emails delivered Langston's darkest secrets straight into the inboxes of investigative journalists, government officials, and financial watchdogs. Within minutes, the news broke.

Claire's phone buzzed with incoming calls. "They're running with the story." Her voice was calm, but there was an undeniable edge of excitement.

Damian swiped through multiple news feeds. "Langston's name is all over the headlines. Fraud, money laundering, illegal arms deals—he's finished."

Alexander smirked as he watched the chaos unfold on the news. "That was fast."

Isabella exhaled, leaning back in her chair. "He deserves worse."

But just as she allowed herself a moment of relief, Damian's screen flashed red. His smirk faded.

"Uh… guys?" Damian's fingers flew over the keyboard. "Langston's not just sitting back. He's already trying to bury the story."

Alexander leaned over. "Can he?"

Damian scoffed. "Not if I can help it."

But then Claire's phone rang. She glanced at the number and her expression hardened. "It's one of my sources. Something's wrong."

She answered, putting the call on speaker. A frantic voice filled the room.

"Langston knows. And he's coming for you."

Silence.

Then, a single realization settled over them.

The fight wasn't over. It had just begun.
