Cassidy Lane had spent years chasing stories. She had been to war zones, had her life threatened, and had stared down corrupt officials in high-rise offices. Nothing scared her. Nothing until now. She had always believed that a story was about the facts-the evidence, the truth, the cold reality of what was happening beneath the surface. But as she sat in her small, dimly lit office reviewing yet another file on Alexander Cross, the billionaire CEO of Cross Industries, she began to question everything she knew. She had her suspicions. Everyone did. Alexander Cross was a name whispered in circles of power, a man who had built an empire with ruthless precision. His reputation was as sharp as his business acumen-cold, calculating, and unyielding. Cassidy had spent weeks trying to find the truth behind the rumors, and every path led her back to one conclusion: he was untouchable. But Cassidy wasn't the type to walk away. She wasn't afraid of untouchable. She went after what others feared. And now, she was here, standing at the edge of something dangerous. She leaned back in her chair, running a hand through her dark hair. The file in front of her contained details on Cross Industries' offshore dealings, questionable transactions, and a dozen names connected to black-market operations. The deeper Cassidy dug, the more tangled the web became. The more Alexander Cross's name kept surfacing. She had to meet him. Cassidy knew the risks. She knew that taking down someone like Alexander Cross wasn't just about exposing the truth-it was about survival. And right now, she was getting too close to something that could destroy her career, her reputation, or worse, her life. But that was the price she paid for chasing the truth. Alexander Cross hadn't been interested in the meeting. He never was. But he had learned long ago that sometimes you had to meet your enemies halfway-especially when they had something on you. The woman walking into his office now had a reputation, and she wasn't here to play games. He didn't stand to greet her when she entered. Instead, he remained seated behind his massive, mahogany desk, his steely eyes scanning the woman in front of him. She was younger than he expected-about the same age as his sister, who had long since left his world behind. Cassidy Lane didn't look like someone who would threaten his empire, but there was something about her presence that unnerved him. It was the look in her eyes. The unwavering determination. Cross had met many people in his life-business partners, enemies, associates-but none like Cassidy Lane. She was fierce, driven, and, above all, unafraid. He studied her as she crossed the room and took a seat in front of him. "I'm not sure why you think I'll talk to you," he said, his voice low, calculated. "But let's see what you have to say." Cassidy didn't flinch. "I'm here to expose the truth about Cross Industries." Alexander's lips twisted into a small, humorless smile. "You think you can?" "I don't think," Cassidy replied, her voice firm. "I know." He leaned back in his chair, folding his arms across his chest. "And why would I help you with that?" "Because you don't want me exposing the truth about you," Cassidy said, leaning forward slightly. "You don't want anyone digging into your company. Your past." A flicker of something-anger? Regret?-crossed his face for just a moment, before his expression returned to its usual, controlled state. "You're playing a dangerous game, Miss Lane." She met his gaze, unwavering. "I'm not playing. I'm here to win." Alexander didn't answer immediately. He studied her for a long moment, as if considering something. There was a pause, the weight of it hanging between them, before he finally spoke. "I'll tell you this," he said slowly, his voice more serious now. "You have no idea what you're getting yourself into." Cassidy didn't move. She could feel the intensity in the air. "I know exactly what I'm getting into." A beat passed, and Alexander finally stood, walking to the large window behind his desk. He glanced out at the sprawling city below, his eyes distant, lost in thought. "You don't." Cassidy's heart raced. She knew what he was trying to do. Trying to intimidate her. But she wasn't going to back down. She wasn't scared of him. "I know more than you think," she said, voice steady. "And I'm going to take you down." Alexander turned back to face her, his expression unreadable. "If you can." The Web Tightens The tension in the room was palpable. Cassidy could feel the weight of his words as they hung in the air. But she wasn't afraid of Alexander Cross. She couldn't afford to be. She had come too far to turn back now. But the truth was-it wasn't just his business dealings that intrigued her. It was him. Everything about him screamed power, control, and darkness. He wasn't the man she had imagined-the ruthless CEO who cared nothing for anyone but himself. No, there was more to Alexander Cross than
