The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Suddenly, a black car pulled up without a sound.

A man stepped out, his trench coat blending into the night as his cold eyes swept over Mayfield.

Did you bring the documents? The mans voice was sharp, devoid of warmth.

Mayfield nodded quickly, his hands trembling as he extended the confidential documents.

Its all here.

Once this deal is complete, we can rebuild.

Rebuild? The man scoffed, his expression cynical.

You underestimate Bryson.

He sneered, flipping through the papers before shoving them back to Mayfield.

These so-called secrets are worthless if we cant crack the encryption. Mayfield opened his mouth to respond, but a voice rang out in the distance.

If you cant decrypt them, then they belong back with their rightful owner.

Mayfields face drained of color as he looked frantically at the mysterious man beside him.

But the man merely shook his head in disdain before swiftly getting back into the car.

It sped away into the night, leaving Mayfield alone to face Bryson.

Bryson, how did you find me? Mayfield asked, disbelief coloring his voice.

Bryson approached slowly, his gaze sharp as a blade.

Mayfield, you underestimated the intelligence network of the Mitchell Group.

Hand over the documents now and spare me the trouble.

Mayfield clenched his fists, but he eventually sighed and tossed the documents to Bryson.

You win, but the Mitchell Groups crisis isnt over.

The law will handle this.noveldrama

Mayfield, prepare for a lawsuit for illegally trading the Mitchell Groups confidential documents.

Back at the Mitchell Manor, moonlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting a serene glow across the living room floor.

Hannah.

sat on the sofa, holding an old photo album that captured her cherished moments with Bryson.

Ding dong! The doorbell rang abruptly, jolting her from her thoughts.

She sprang up, rushing to the door, her heart hopeful that it was Bryson.

When she opened the door, Bryson stood there, safe and sound.

He looked a bit weary from the night, but the warmth in his eyes remained unchanged. Youre back! Hannah exclaimed, throwing herself into his arms.

I thought you wouldnt make it back tonight! Bryson chuckled softly as he wrapped his ams around her, a comforting sense of peace washing over him.

How could I not? I promised Id come back safely, no matter what.

He lowered his head, placing a gentle kiss on Hannahs forehead.

The documents are secure, but we need to dig into this hidden force Mayfield mentioned-sooner rather than Later.

Hannah stepped back, looking up at him.

Do you have any leads? He frowned, shaking his head.

Not yet.

But Ill find out whos behind this; no ones going to threaten us or the Mitchell Group on my watch.

They walked back to the living room, where Franco was already waiting, his face clouded with concern.

Bryson, how did it go? Were there any complications?
