Chapter 1 - Prologue

Prologue: "Midnight Encounter"*

The rain-soaked on leaves of a dark Jungle . They were always a haven for secrets, but tonight they seemed to whisper warnings. Liam Kaiser, CEO of Kaiser Industries, stepped out of the shadows, his eyes scanning the deserted alley.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the darkness. Riyana Kapoor, heiress to the Kapoor empire, stood tall, her eyes blazing with a fierce determination.

"What are you doing here, Liam?" Riyana's voice was low and even, but Liam detected a hint of venom.

"I could ask you the same, Riyana," Liam replied, his gaze locked on hers. "This isn't a coincidence, is it?"

Riyana's smile was a thin, cold line. "Let's just say our interests have converged."

Without warning, a group of heavily armed men emerged from the shadows, surrounding them. Liam's instincts kicked in, his hand instinctively reaching for his gun.

Riyana's eyes flashed with anger. "You think you're the only one with secrets, Liam? Tonight, we both become pawns in a much larger game."

As the men closed in, Liam and Riyana stood back-to-back, ready to face whatever dangers lay ahead. The night had just become a whole lot more interesting.
