The Stable Hand Warned His Billionaire Boss About a Bomb in the Helicopter

Vivian’s breath hitched. The elegant composure she so carefully maintained shattered in an instant. Her eyes darted from Charles to the spinning blades of the helicopter, and the color drained completely from her face. Charles, a man who had built an empire on reading people, did not miss her hesitation. His hand shot out, wrapping tightly around her slender wrist.

The Trap is Sprung

“If there is nothing to fear, Vivian, then you won't mind joining me for my flight to the city,” Charles said, his voice dangerously calm, cutting through the roar of the helicopter. Vivian tried to pull away, but Charles’s grip was unyielding. Her eyes flashed with a mixture of panic and raw hatred.

“Charles, let go of me! This is absurd! You are listening to a filthy, delusional stable boy!” she shrieked, her voice rising above the mechanical thrum.

“If he is lying, you have nothing to lose,” Charles replied, his gaze chillingly steady. “But if you refuse to step foot on that aircraft, you confirm everything he just said.” Realizing her cover was blown, Vivian stopped struggling. A dark, twisted smile crept onto her lips, replacing her panic with cold venom. She reached into her designer handbag, not to pull out her phone, but to retrieve a small, black plastic remote with a single red button.

“You always thought you were the smartest man in the room, Charles,” she whispered, her voice laced with malice. “But you were blind to what was happening right under your nose.”

Suddenly, three of Vivian's personal security guards emerged from the edge of the estate, their hands resting ominously on their holsters. Liam stepped back, his heart hammering against his ribs as he realized the depth of the conspiracy. Vivian had not just planned an accident; she had planned a coup to take over Charles's entire empire, and she was prepared to eliminate anyone who stood in her way, starting with the stable hand who knew too much.
