Amelia woke up with an anxious feeling hanging in the morning air. After the meeting with Dominic in the warehouse the night before, she kept having her thoughts clouded with word after word from Dominic. Dominic's words about the dangerous network tied to her family could not be forgotten. The more Amelia thought about it, the more she realized that she had been caught up in a game bigger than herself. Amelia got out of bed to prepare to start her day, but a ringing cell phone and a message from Caroline distracted her."There's something strange going on at the office. Some big contracts have suddenly been postponed without any reason. We need to have a serious talk soon to deal with this problem."Amelia felt at this moment so much urgency inside her to examine the state of her business. All this time, Dominic had promised support to keep Clark Events going, but with what had just come to light, Amelia couldn't ignore the possibility that the network Dominic was talking about might have already started to affect the company.After showering and getting dressed, Amelia quickly drove her car to her office. Clark Events on a weekday was a place bustling with activity, but today there was a different feel. The atmosphere seemed more tense with the faces of the normally cheerful employees now filled with worry.Caroline was sitting at Amelia's desk when she walked in, looking agitated as she stared at a pile of documents. "You're not going to believe this," she said matter-of-factly."What happened?" Amelia immediately sat down opposite her.Caroline handed Amelia some files. "Three major contracts that were nearing completion have now been abruptly postponed. Our clients didn't give a clear reason, just said that they had to review everything before continuing with the partnership."Amelia examined the documents carefully one by one. These cooperation contracts were an important part of the continuity of the company Amelia owned, especially since the current situation was not favorable for the company's existence. If all three were completely canceled, Clark Events would suffer a huge loss."This makes no sense. Why is all this happening at the same time?"Caroline looked at him with worried eyes. "I was thinking that too. But even stranger, I heard whispers that an external party is pressuring our clients to withdraw from the partnership."Amelia paused. Her mind immediately drifted to the warning Dominic had given. The "dangerous network" he spoke of might already be in action. They knew that Amelia was in direct contact with Dominic, and now they were targeting her business to pressure Dominic into submitting to their control."I need to find out more about this," Amelia muttered. "But I can't do it alone."Caroline nodded. "Whatever you need, I will help you. We can't let this threat destroy us."Amelia felt a little relieved to hear such loyalty from Caroline, but at the moment her feelings were still so heavy. With quick steps, she returned to her desk and tried to rack her brain for a way out. The only person who might have the answers to her problems was Dominic, but after their meeting last night, Amelia began to doubt whether Dominic could really control this situation or even take advantage of it."I need to see you again. Something has happened, I'm sure it has something to do with what I told you last night. Right now, I'm on my way to your office." The incoming message from Dominic made a new puzzle appear in Amelia's mind. Why had he taken this action so quickly by coming to her company?The message took Amelia by surprise. Dominic didn't usually come unexpectedly like this, unless there was something very urgent. Without thinking, Amelia immediately informed Caroline of Dominic's whereabouts who was on his way.It didn't take long for Dominic to set foot in Clark Events. Amelia could see there was something different about the way he walked into the office. His face seemed more tense than usual, and his eyes were full of worry that he couldn't hide. This was very strange, considering Dominic had always been able to hide his worries by remaining calm, but not this time."Amelia," Dominic began as soon as they entered the closed meeting room. "I just got word that some of our clients are being pressured by external parties to break contracts with you. I believe this is the work of the network I warned you about."Amelia held her breath, her eyes widening at the statement. "So, they've really started acting? They're not only targeting you, but also targeting me and my company?"Dominic said yes, he sat down in the chair with a body that looked so tense. "It's sooner than I thought. They probably see our partnership as a threat to their control, and now they're trying to cut off all paths that could strengthen my position, by involving you. I didn't expect them to go this far with you."Amelia felt the walls of her office closing in. The situation was getting more and more complicated at such a fast pace, she was convinced that she was in real danger. "What can we do? I can't just let Clark Events crumble. This company is a family legacy and I don't want to let them down."Dominic paused for a moment and looked at Amelia with concern. "There are a few ways around this but they all come with their own risks. We could try approaching your clients directly, explaining the situation and trying to salvage the contracts as best we can. But we have to remain vigilant because if we're too open, they might target both of us next.""And if we do nothing?" Amelia asked even though she already knew the answer."If we don't do anything then they will continue to suppress our situation. Eventually, they will destroy your company and pull me back under their control. That's what they always do, they use other people's businesses and lives, as pawns to achieve their own goals."Amelia felt sick to her stomach at the incomprehensible explanation. The world Dominic was describing felt like something out of a thriller-but this was the reality she was facing now. "So, what about us? What will happen if we continue to work together?"Dominic looked at him with a serious gaze. "If we continue to advance together, we must be prepared to face greater risks. They won't stop until we're declared defeated or we win. But I'm not going to just back down, Amelia. I've come too far in all this, and I can't give up now. The question is, are you ready to join the fight with me? By saving our lives?"Amelia looked at Dominic with a sense of dread and a hint of courage. In her heart, she knew that there was no other way but to play Dominic's game. It had all started, and now, she had to face what lay ahead."I won't back down," Amelia said at last, despite her racing heart. "If this is a battle we must face, I will be by your side."Dominic nodded firmly, his eyes shining with renewed strength from Amelia. "Then, we'll fight together. And we're going to win this, Amelia."Amelia didn't know how things would turn out, but one thing she was sure of was that she would no longer be a spectator in this game. Now, she was in it-and nothing could stop her from fighting for what was truly important to her.
