CHAPTER ONE
Reeds Global stood like a giant made of glass and steel in the heart of the city. The building was so tall that people had to tilt their heads back just to see the top. Its walls reflected the sky during the day and glowed like a quiet flame at night. Inside, everything screamed money and power. Marble floors so polished they reflected footsteps. Crystal lights hanging from the ceiling like frozen stars. Soft music played in the background, but it never felt relaxing. It felt controlled.
People who worked here walked fast. No one laughed loudly. No one wasted time. Every employee knew one thing very well. This company did not forgive mistakes.
Reeds Global was not just a company. It was an empire.
And at the top of that empire sat Stuart Reeds.
