A Media War

It hit the headlines before sunrise.

"Wolfe & Scandal: CEO Adrian Wolfe Linked to Criminal Elite."

Pundits dissected every frame of the video. Investors wavered. Stocks dipped. Wolfe & Kings teetered on the edge.

Adrian canceled meetings. Legal teams flooded in. PR experts tried to spin it.

But the war had already begun.

Eliana didn't flinch. She wrote a public statement. Calm. Clear. Truthful.

Adrian hesitated. "If I release this, I drag you into the fire."

"You didn't drag me," she said. "I walked in."

He released it at noon.

By evening, opinion was divided—but shifting.

People didn't just see a CEO in crisis.

They saw a man who owned his past.

And a woman who stood beside him.

Side by side, they were rewriting the story.

And it wasn't over yet.
