Total War
The Second Mole Falls
Nicole Melbourne had no patience for traitors.
And tonight, the second mole inside Melbourne Enterprises was about to fall hard.
The conference room was silent, the executives gathered in tense anticipation because this was the second meeting today. Every executive is curious why they were called back and what will happen. At the center of it all, Ethan Kent sat stiffly, feigning calm.
Nicole leaned back in her chair, toying with the confidential report Emma had just compiled.
"Mr. Kent," she began smoothly, "you've been with Melbourne Enterprises for how long now?"
Ethan swallowed. "Seven years."
"And in those seven years, would you say your loyalty has been… unwavering?"
He hesitated. "Of course."
Nicole smiled. A cold, merciless smile.
"Then explain why these transactions link you to Andrew Bond."
A file slid across the table. The screens behind her lit up with damning evidence—offshore accounts, leaked documents, secret meetings with Nicholas Bondi.
The boardroom erupted.
Ethan shot up. "Nicole, this is—"
"Do not dare call me by my first name."
Her voice was soft. Deadly.
"You're done, Kent. Security?"
Two guards entered.
Ethan paled. "You can't—"
"Emma," Nicole interrupted, "send the legal team the documents. And make sure our friends in law enforcement receive them as well."
Ethan collapsed into his chair, realization sinking in.
Nicole stood, her power absolute. "Take him away."
As security dragged him out, she turned to the remaining executives.
"Loyalty is not optional in my empire."
No one spoke.
Good.
Because she wasn't finished.
Merissa's Ruthless Strike
Merissa Bond wasn't playing anymore.
Andrew had crossed a line by messing with her best friend.
And now, she would ruin him.
Sitting in a high-end bar, she tapped on her phone once.
A hacker on the other end executed her command.
Minutes later, chaos erupted online.
❖ "Exclusive Leaks: Andrew Bond's Offshore Scandal Uncovered!"
❖ "Insider Tip Reveals Shocking Corruption in Bond Corporation!"
❖ "Anonymous Source Exposes Andrew Bond's Criminal Deals!"
Andrew's empire was bleeding.
Merissa watched, sipping her drink. She was down but loyalty just like Nicole was what she stood by.
"That's what you get, Andrew."
And she was just getting started.
Tyler's Counterattack
While Andrew scrambled to contain the fallout, Tyler Winslow was already three steps ahead.
Sitting in his glass-walled office, he issued a single statement to the press.
"The allegations against me are false. The true criminal is Andrew Bond."
Then he released his own set of documents—showing how Andrew's team had manipulated evidence, setting him up for the financial crimes.
The narrative flipped.
Reporters now hunted Andrew.
And Tyler Winslow?
He just smirked.
Nicole's Final Blow
Nicole watched the chaos unfold from her condo.
Melbourne Enterprises was secure.
Tyler had turned the media war against Andrew.
Merissa had shattered Andrew's reputation which surprised her but she was grateful and happy for having a friend who stood by her and backed her up.
But Nicole wanted more.
She wanted total destruction.
"Emma."
Her assistant appeared.
"Initiate the final phase."
Within minutes, news networks received a single, devastating announcement:
"Melbourne Enterprises has officially blacklisted Bond Corporation. Any company that continues to associate with them will be considered an enemy."
The corporate world exploded.
Investors fled.
Andrew lost billions overnight.
Nicole leaned back, satisfied.
"Checkmate."
The Final Showdown
At midnight, Nicole's phone buzzed.
Unknown Number: "Meet me. Alone."
Andrew Bond.
Nicole smirked.
"You want to surrender?"
His reply was instant.
"Come and find out."
Her eyes darkened.
This was it.
The endgame.
And she was ready.
She will finishe this. And that's her promise.
