I woke up early, earlier than usual, because the legal team kept sending alerts to my phone. By the time the sun came up, my inbox was full of flagged messages. I sa shirt from the previous night, and scrolled through each document anything.

The new files claimed I had approved risky transactions through old shell companies tied to Carter Holdings. I knew they were fake. The signatures were wrong.
The dates did not line up. The internal codes used on the copies were outdated. These were things only someone familiar with our system would know how to falsify.
Someone close to us had passed them on.
That fact bothered me more than the forged documents themselves.
I sat back in the chair for a moment. My eyes felt heavy, not from lack of sleep but from the steady pressure building since the explosion. Every hour came with a new problem, and all of them pointed to the south.
When the office door opened, I expected Brian or one of the security heads. Instead, Amy walked in with a small tray. She looked tired but calm. Her hair was pulled back, and she wore one of the long shirts she usually stole from my side of the closet.
“I brought breakfast,” she said.
I felt the tension in my shoulders ease a little. “Amy… you didn’t need to.”
“I wanted to,” she said, placing the tray on the table. “You haven’t eaten.”
I looked at the food but did not move. My appetite had been gone since I opened the first legal notice.
She came closer. “Daniel. You need to eat.”
I shook my head. “I have too much to handle. I can’t slow down.”
Instead of arguing, she picked up a forkful of food and held it near my mouth. “Open your mouth.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Open it.”

I didn’t know when I laughed. I leaned forward and took the bite. The simple act cut through the stress more than anything else had in days.
She smiled a little, then set the fork aside and sat on the edge of my desk. “Better?”
“A bit.”
She reached for my face and I held her hand. The room felt less tense win her near me. I pulled her closer and kissed her. It came from exhaustion, fear, and the need to feel something that wasn’t pressure.
She kissed me back without hesitation. We ended up tongues rolled and soon my cock felt hard. I didn’t realize when I turned her over and buried my cock in her insides. It felt so juicy and warm.
After so many hard thrusts and slap sounds, we both finally gasped for air in satisfaction.
When we finally stopped, she rested her forehead against mine. For a few minutes, we held onto each other like the world wasn’t trying to pull us apart.
“You’re doing your best. And you’re not alone.”
I nodded because I needed to. Amy got dressed and we talked for a while until a knock at the door forced us apart slightly. Amy stepped off the desk but stayed close.
Brian walked in with a tablet in his hand. His expression warned me that the news was not good.
“We found something,” he said. “Or rather, someone.”
“Who?”
“One of Clara’s known associates. He was spotted near the storage wing on the night of the explosion. His face was covered, but the body match is almost exact. He used to run deliveries for her before she cut ties with most of her old workers.”
My frustration grew. I rubbed my hand over my jaw. “She’s not even trying to hide anymore.”
Amy touched my chest lightly. “One step at a time, Daniel. We’ll process this first.”
Her voice grounded me again. I breathed out slowly and focused.
“Get me the raw footage,” I told Brian. “And keep this quiet for now. No leaks.”
“Already handled,” Brian said. “There’s more. Legal thinks the new documents were prepared weeks ago. Someone planned this carefully.”

That lined up with my own suspicion. Clara had always been calculated.
Before we could continue, my mother walked in. She carried a folder under her arm and me a sharp look that meant she was ready to take control of whatever needed fixing.
“We need to discuss crisis management,” she said. “And we need to be s

I nodded and gestured for her to sit. Amy moved to stand beside me.
My mother opened the folder. “The press is pushing hard. The council is asking questions. The public is confused. If we do not speak soon, the narrative will run without us. I suggest a controlled press meeting. We show transparency. We answer what we can and shut down anything we cannot.”
“I agree,” I said.
She looked at Amy. “And you want her beside you. Correct?”
“Yes,” I said without hesitation. “I want her in every meeting, every announcement, every room. She stays with me.”
My mother studied my face, then nodded. “Good. It will help the public see unity. And it will make it harder for our enemies to imply internal problems.”
Amy gave a small nod of appreciation. I felt her hand brush mine.
We spent the next hour planning details. When my mother left, she looked more confident than she had since the explosion. That gave me a bit of hope.
Later that afternoon, Amy and I went to speak with the head of the internal council. They waited for us in the conference room. Five elders. All of them older, all of them stubborn, all of them watching me with suspicion.
The head elder, Maron, opened the meeting. “Daniel, we received concerning documents this morning.”
“They’re fake,” I said. “And I can prove it.”
Another elder, Varrin, frowned. “This is not the first problem you’ve had in the Explosion, media scandal, and now financial questions. You are making it difficult for us to defend you.”

Amy stepped forward before I could respond. “With respect, Elder Varrin, your statement is inaccurate. The explosion is under federal review and not tied to Daniel’s leadership. The media scandal began with an edited video that has already been debunked. And the documents

you track the file history, you will see it.”
The room fell silent.
Varrin blinked. “How do you know that?”
“I work with Daniel,” she said. “I know how his systems run. I know the the facts.”
