Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, with no news of Margaret. The initial urgency and fear gradually gave way to a resigned acceptance. Abby found herself teetering on the edge of her nerves, constantly checking for updates and anticipating the worst. But Remo, ever the calm and collected force in her life, reassured her at every turn.

"Margaret won't stay hidden forever," he would say, his voice a soothing balm. "We've done everything we can. Now we focus on what we can control."

It had been six months since she had taken control, and the transformation was nothing short of remarkable. The once-struggling business was now thriving under her leadership. Profits were up, employee morale was high, and the company's reputation had been restored.
