Chapter 45 - Chapter 45: The War Begins

Titan Holdings had made their move.

They had attacked Alexander's finances.

They had put Isabella's company under investigation.

And now?

It was time to hit back even harder.

Turning the Tables

Isabella paced across Alexander's office, phone clutched in her hand. Claire's voice rang in her ear.

"I did some digging. The audit on your company? It was ordered by a firm that just happens to have ties to Titan's legal division."

Isabella exhaled sharply. They were using government resources to try to ruin her.

Alexander leaned against his desk, arms crossed. "And the hack on my finances?"

Damian, who was scrolling through encrypted files on his tablet, smirked. "Sloppy work. They wanted you to find out. Probably to shake your investors."

Alexander's expression darkened. "Then we need to show them we're not scared."

Isabella nodded. "We take away their power before they take away ours."

A Risky Play

Claire's voice was cautious. "I have a contact inside the SEC. If we can prove Titan manipulated the audit, we can have it shut down before it does any damage."

Damian added, "And I can trace the hack back to its source. If we find proof Titan ordered it? We leak it."

Alexander smirked. "They tried to make us look dirty. Let's make them look worse."

Isabella met his gaze. "If we do this, there's no turning back."

His voice was steady. "I wasn't planning on turning back."

The Counterattack

By the end of the day, their plan was in motion.

Claire sent the tip to the SEC. If the agency launched an internal review, Titan wouldn't just lose its leverage—they'd be under scrutiny themselves.

Damian worked his magic, tracing the cyberattack to a private security firm that exclusively handled Titan's 'off-the-record' work.

Alexander and Isabella stood side by side, watching the chaos unfold.

Their companies were under siege.

Their reputations were on the line.

And yet—for the first time, they weren't fighting each other.

They were fighting together.

And Titan Holdings had no idea what was coming next.
