Chapter 1

Alexander Gideon was a towering figure in the business world, a man whose name was synonymous with power, wealth, and success. He was tall, with broad shoulders and a commanding presence that commanded attention whenever he walked into a room. He had piercing blue eyes that seemed to see right through you, and a sharp jawline that gave him a look of determination and strength. His hair was dark and perfectly styled, and his suit was always tailored to perfection.

He was the CEO of a large multinational corporation, Alexander Industries, that dealt in various industries, from real estate to technology. He had built the company from scratch and had grown it into one of the most successful and influential companies in the world. His business acumen was unmatched, and he was known for his ability to predict market trends and capitalize on them before anyone else. He was also known for his ability to close deals and make strategic partnerships that would benefit his company in the long run.

But despite his success, Alexander was not a happy man. His thoughts were consumed by his business rival, Charles Eugene, who he believed was responsible for the downfall of his company. Charles had been Alexander's closest friend and confidante for many years. They had started their businesses together, but as the years went by, their paths had diverged. Charles had become more and more ruthless in his business dealings, and Alexander had grown increasingly disillusioned with his friend's actions.

It all came to a head when Charles, in a moment of weakness, had betrayed Alexander, stealing his company's secrets and using them to launch a new business that quickly surpassed Alexander's. The company went bankrupt, and Alexander had lost everything. He had lost his empire, his reputation, and his friends. He had been left with nothing but the burning desire for revenge.

For the past year, Alexander had been rebuilding his life and his fortune. He had invested in various companies, and through his business acumen, had turned them into profitable ventures. He had also spent months researching Charles and his business, looking for any weaknesses that he could exploit. He had carefully crafted a plan that would not only bring Charles down, but would also destroy his reputation and his business. He had spared no expense to gather information and evidence that would help in his plan.

The long awaited time was tonight. Alexander was finally going to exact the retribution he had been planning and preparing against the person responsible for downfall these past years. Charles's vengeance was all the sweeter because he was unaware that he was about to become Alexander's bitch. In his own rooftop office, which was on the top floor of the five-story enormous warehouse that he had refurbished, modernized, and turned into a useful, practical edifice that he would use for his retaliation.

As he sat in his office, surrounded by the trappings of his wealth and success, Alexander couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. He knew that it would be a long and difficult road ahead, but he was determined to see his plan through to the end. He had waited long enough, and he was not going to let Charles get away with what he had done.

Alexander smirked to himself as he waited for his boys to arrive. From the ground level, which was a communal room and where he held his parties, to each subsequent floor, each had a distinct design and function.

He picked up his phone and dialed a number, a sly smile spreading across his face as the plan he had been working on for so long was about to be put into action.

"It's time," he said, his voice cold and steady. "I want you to prepare everything. I'm coming for him, and I'm going to make him pay for what he's done."

He hung up the phone, and with a sense of purpose, he stood up from his desk, buttoning his jacket, ready to take on the world. He was Alexander, the powerful and successful businessman, and he would stop at nothing to get his revenge.

Alexander's plan for revenge was to kidnap Charles' daughter, the plan had been months in the making. He had spent weeks researching the young woman, studying her habits, and learning everything he could about her. He knew that she was a student at a prestigious university and that she lived in a small apartment on the outskirts of the city. He also knew that she was an only child and that Charles was extremely protective of her.

He knew that if he wanted to hurt Charles, the best way to do it would be to target his daughter. He had decided that the best place to kidnap her would be from her apartment. He had chosen a small team of skilled and experienced professionals who would be able to get in and out of the building without being detected. He had also decided that the best time to strike would be in the early hours of the morning when the streets were deserted and the building was quiet.

The day before the planned kidnapping, Alexander had gone to the apartment building to scout the location. He had been careful not to be seen, but he had managed to get a good look at the building and the layout of the surrounding area. He had also taken note of the security cameras and the location of the security guard.

He had then gone back to his office and had spent the rest of the day going over the details of the plan with his team. He had assigned each of them specific tasks and had made sure that they were all aware of the risks involved. He had also made sure that they all had the necessary equipment and weapons to complete the mission.

Alexander had put a lot of thought into how he would execute the kidnapping. He had wanted it to be as seamless as possible, so he had chosen a team that was highly skilled and experienced in this type of operation. He had handpicked each member, selecting individuals who were proficient in surveillance, infiltration, and combat.
