Chapter 13 - The Truth Revealed

With Eva safe and the truth exposed, Jack's 

determination hardened. James had crossed a line, and now, 

he would face the consequences. 

As Jack drove back to the office, his mind raced. There 

was no room for error—James was dangerous, and if they 

didn't act fast, he could still find a way to cover his tracks.Eva, sitting beside him, placed a reassuring hand on his. 

"We'll take him down together, Jack." 

Jack nodded. "This ends today." 

The moment they stepped into the office, Jack wasted no 

time. 

"Everyone, conference room. Now." 

The urgency in his voice sent ripples of unease through 

his team. Within minutes, the room filled with employees—

 faces tight with worry, whispers spreading like wildfire. 

Jack stood at the head of the table, his gaze sweeping the 

room before locking onto his target. 

"We have a traitor in our midst." 

Silence. A charged tension hung in the air. 

"James has been working against us, leaking confidential 

information and trying to sabotage our deal. His actions put 

this entire company at risk." 

Gasps. Murmurs. Disbelief. 

At the far end of the table, James leaned back in his chair, 

arms crossed, a smug smile playing at his lips. "That's a pretty 

big accusation, Jack. Got any proof?" 

Jack's expression remained calm, but his eyes burned 

with intensity. "As a matter of fact, I do." 

He gestured to Pinky, who immediately played the 

security footage. The screen flickered to life, showing James in the parking garage, discreetly passing off documents to the 

same man who had kidnapped Eva. 

A collective gasp filled the room. James's smirk 

vanished. 

Jack took a step closer. "You thought you were 

untouchable, didn't you?" 

James stood abruptly, his chair scraping against the 

floor. "This is ridiculous! You don't know what you're talking 

about!" 

Jack held up a folder—bank statements, emails, phone 

records, all linking James to the sabotage. He tossed it onto the 

table. "This says otherwise." 

James paled. His hands trembled as he flipped through 

the damning evidence. 

"You underestimated me, James. And now, you're going 

to pay the price." 

Security entered the room. James tried to protest, but it 

was over. Two guards flanked him, ready to escort him out. 

As they led him away, he turned back, his face twisted in 

fury. "You'll regret this, Jack. You think you've won? This isn't 

over." 

Jack didn't flinch. "Oh, it is." 

And just like that, James was gone.A heavy silence followed, then a slow ripple of applause. 

Relief washed over the team—but Jack knew the battle wasn't 

over yet. 

Eva approached him, concern in her eyes. "Jack, what 

about the presentation? We can't let this ruin our chances." 

Jack exhaled, then smiled, his confidence unwavering. 

"We won't. We're going to nail that presentation, and we're 

going to win this deal." 

A new energy spread through the room. The team 

straightened, focused, ready. The final challenge was just 

hours away. 

And Jack? 

He had never been more ready to fight for what was his.
