Villain Ch 1645. The Big Storm [Part 1]
Urban Enigma's headquarters wasn't a building today.
It was a storm.
Exactly as Allen predicted.
Not lightning.
Not wind.
But a pressure in the air—thick, heavy, and sharp.
Behind closed glass doors, inside Mr. Bell's private office, that pressure was tightening like a noose.
The windows faced the skyline, but no one cared about the view.
Mr. Bell sat behind his thick, blackened oak desk. His fingers were laced together, knuckles pale, jaw locked in controlled fury.
Two attorneys sat on either side of him—both hired by Liam, Darren and Mr.Bell himself. They weren't cheap attorneys. They were the kind of lawyers who made careers destroying reputations behind the safety of sealed conference rooms.
Sophia sat across from them.
Her arms crossed. Her shoulders pulled tight. Her mouth pressed into a thin, bitter line.
But her eyes…
Her eyes were defiant.
And beside her sat Liam and Darren.
They weren't smiling today.
