Chapter 2: The Call That Changed Everything
The rain never stopped.
Elena stood alone outside the grand entrance, water dripping from the hem of her white gown as the phone slowly lowered from her ear.
Inside the lobby, Nathan wrapped an arm around Chloe's waist.
He laughed.
"So pathetic," Chloe whispered, watching Elena through the glass.
Nathan smirked.
"She'll come crawling back tomorrow."
Neither of them noticed the line of black SUVs quietly turning onto the street.
Within seconds, six luxury vehicles stopped in front of the building.
Every security guard froze.
One after another, men in dark tailored suits stepped out, each wearing an earpiece.
Then the rear door of the final limousine opened.
An elderly gentleman with silver hair emerged, carrying an umbrella.
He walked directly toward Elena.
Without hesitation...
He bowed.
Deeply.
"Miss Morgan," he said respectfully.
"The board is waiting."
Nathan's smile disappeared.
Chloe blinked.
"...Miss Morgan?"
The old man continued.
"Your father has called an emergency board meeting."
"The company cannot move forward without its rightful Chairwoman."
Silence.
Nathan stared as Elena calmly accepted the umbrella.
She didn't even look at him.
Not once.
As the convoy pulled away, Nathan suddenly remembered something.

His struggling startup hadn't been funded by investors.
It had been rescued overnight by an anonymous holding company.
Morgan Capital.
His face slowly turned pale.
"No..."
"It can't be..."
