ALL NOVEL Chapter 8: The First Betrayal
Chapter 8: The First Betrayal
Amara decided to take Lucas up on his offer. Within days, his team had uncovered the identity of the mole—a junior executive who had been feeding information to Evelyn.
She confronted the man in her office, her fury barely contained. "You betrayed me," she said, her voice cold. "Do you have any idea what you've done?"
The man stammered, offering weak excuses, but Amara cut him off. "You're fired. And I'll make sure no one in this city ever hires you again."
As he left, Amara felt a mix of anger and satisfaction. Lucas had delivered on his promise, but she couldn't shake the feeling that she now owed him something.
Meanwhile, Evelyn was busy planning her next move. The information she had gathered on Lucas was shocking—he had connections to powerful figures and a past shrouded in mystery.
She confronted him at his office, slamming the folder onto his desk. "Care to explain this?"
Lucas leaned back in his chair, unperturbed. "You've been busy, Evelyn. I admire your tenacity."
Evelyn narrowed her eyes. "Don't play games with me, Lucas. What are you really after?"
Lucas's smile widened. "The same thing you are, Evelyn. Power. Control. And maybe a little bit of chaos."
