I returned to Carter Holdings under my own supervision, but the weight of the last few weeks still lingered. Even with pack monitoring lifted, I could sense the quiet scrutiny from staff, executives, and security.
Whispers followed me, subtle but persistent. My role as Executive Liaison Administrator demanded awareness, and after everything, I had to be careful.
The morning started normally enough, reviewing reports and approvals, but soon I noticed small irregularities. Contracts were delayed in ways that didn’t make sense.
Data pipelines were altered, with no explanation. Nothing illegal on the surface, nothing that would draw attention at first glance, but it was organized. Someone was trying to disrupt the company without leaving a trace.
I looked at Bella. “Check the approval logs for the last two weeks. Compare them with internal records. Anything unusual, mark it.”
“I already started,” she said, handing me a folder. “Three contracts last week didn’t have supervisor reviews, and some subsidiary approvals were rerouted. It’s subtle, but it’s there.”
I examined the files. The changes were deliberate, calculated. This wasn’t impulsive like Mark or Clara. Whoever did this had a plan and the patience to execute it.
“Show me the consultant’s audit logs,” I said.
Bella hesitated. “He’s clean. Nothing unusual.”
“Check everything,” I said. “I want acquisition histories, board approvals, every document he touched.”
Hours passed as we went through files. Every minor delay, every rerouted approval, every unusual log entry formed a pattern. Someone was positioning themselves to weaken the company from within, to bypass me and interfere with my authority.
Then I found it–a clause slipped into a recent board motion. If triggered, it could temporarily suspend my authority as Executive Liaison Administrator. The conditions were vague and legal, but the intent was clear. Someone wanted to sideline me.
I called the consultant. “This clause. Who inserted it? Why wasn’t I notified?”
“It’s board–approved,” he said. “I can’t comment on my motivations. Standard procedure.”

I narrowed my eyes. “I need full access to the communications, the votes, and the drafting history.”
“Understood,” he said, calm and professional.
I turned to Bella. “Run a shell company check. See if there’s unusual ownership or transfers in subsidiaries I manage.”
Minutes later, she returned. “Northern Pines Investments has been acquiring stakes quietly in three subsidiaries under your supervision. Nothing illegal yet, but it’s deliberate positioning.”
I exhaled. The threat wasn’t immediate theft–it was careful maneuvering to limit my influence, to create opportunities for someone to interfere legally.
I kept reviewing documents, cross–referencing contracts and board motions. Every detail reinforced the same conclusion: this was an organized attempt to weaken Carter Holdings from the inside.
The consultant called again. “You’ll have full access to all requested records. I can provide any cross–verification you need.”
I kept my response short. “Good. Make it complete and transparent.”
Bella asked, “Do you think it’s internal or external?”
“Could be both,” I said. “They understand both corporate and pack dynamics.”
I spent the afternoon mapping everything out, noting who could benefit from these changes, how authority could be challenged, and which contracts were vulnerable. I had to make sure I didn’t miss anything.
Finally, I had a full picture of what had been happening. Shell companies, rerouted approvals, altered data–all pointing toward a coordinated effort to interfere with me and my role. I felt steady, in control, even as I noted the scale of the threat.
I would handle this. Carter Holdings was my responsibility. My role in the company, my partnership with Daniel, and the integrity of the pack all depended on addressing this properly.
I looked at the consultant one more time. Calm and professional, but now under watch. Whoever was testing the company, I was going to see it through and respond strategically.
By the end of the day, every suspicious contract and transaction had been flagged. I would approach the board and Daniel with clear evidence. This wasn’t about confrontation yet–it was about preparation.
I sat back and reviewed the notes, feeling the work ahead but confident in my plan. Whoever tried to manipulate the company, to manipulate me, would face consequences. I wouldn’t let
