The phone slipped from Zayn's hand.
"Shares crashing…"
His company.
His empire.
Everything he built—
Was collapsing.
Ryan grabbed the phone.
"This is a coordinated attack," he said quickly.
"Adrian is behind this."
Zayn's eyes turned cold.
"He's not just attacking me…"
"He's destroying everything."
Ayesha's Silence
Beside him, Ayesha stood quietly.
Her heart felt heavy.
Zayn's family destroyed hers.
Adrian was her brother.
And now—
She was stuck between two enemies.
"I need time," she said softly.
Zayn looked at her.
Pain in his eyes.
"Ayesha…"
But she stepped back.
"I can't think right now."
"I can't stay here."
Those words broke him.
The Separation
That night—
Ayesha packed her things.
Slowly.
Silently.
Zayn stood at the door.
Watching her.
Not stopping her.
Because he knew—
She needed space.
"Take care of yourself," he said quietly.
She paused.
Then nodded.
Without looking back—
She walked away.
The door closed.
And with it—
Zayn's world shattered again.
The Collapse
The next morning—
Zayn stood in his office.
Empty.
Cold.
Screens showed red numbers.
Stocks falling.
Partners pulling out.
Loss after loss.
Ryan rushed in.
"We're losing millions every hour!"
Zayn didn't react.
His voice was calm.
Too calm.
"Let it fall."
Ryan froze.
"What?"
Zayn looked at the city through the glass window.
"If Adrian wants war…"
"He'll get it."
Adrian's Victory
Across the city—
Adrian watched the news.
Zayn Black's company collapsing.
He smiled.
"Finally," he said.
Lina stood beside him.
"And Ayesha?" she asked.
Adrian's smile faded slightly.
"She'll come to me."
"She has nowhere else to go"
Late at night—
Ayesha stood alone in the rain.
Nowhere to go.
No one to trust.
Her phone rang.
She looked at the screen.
Unknown number.
She answered slowly.
"Hello…?"
Adrian's voice came—
"Come home, sister."
