Song for this chapter: The Night We Met" by Lord Huron.

Aaron's POV

Tomorrow, midnight, at the old warehouse, the message had said. It was a dangerous rendezvous, one that could bring us closer to the truth or push us further into the abyss. I couldn't help but think back to that night as I found myself standing in the desolate vicinity of the abandoned warehouse by the waterfront. The place reeked of decay and neglect, its crumbling walls and shattered windows a testament to its forgotten existence. The moon cast eerie shadows, and the only sounds were the distant lapping of the water and the rustling of leaves in the wind.

I had arrived early, my heart pounding with a mixture of anticipation and dread. The cryptic message had been a tantalizing promise, a potential key to the secrets that had haunted me for years. But as the minutes ticked by, an unsettling feeling crept over me.

Is this a trap?

I waited for more than an hour, my senses on high alert, my eyes scanning the darkness for any sign of movement. But nobody came to meet me. The eerie silence of the night was broken only by the distant hoot of an owl, a haunting reminder of the isolation of this forsaken place.

The cold wind gnawed at my skin, and I couldn't shake the feeling that I had been lured into a trap, that my pursuit of the truth had led me to this desolate and foreboding place. Doubts and fears swirled in my mind, and I wondered if I had made a grave mistake in coming here alone.

What if this was a setup? What if they knew I would come?

Was it a cruel joke, a ploy to lure me into the darkness, or had something gone terribly wrong?

I reached for my phone and dialed Simon's number, but there was no answer. He had been unreachable for hours, and the sense of isolation deepened.

Simon, where are you?

As I stood there, the minutes turned into hours, and I couldn't help but feel a rising sense of frustration and unease. The shadows of the past were closing in around me, and I was caught in a web of uncertainty.

Where was Amelia? Had she decided not to come, or had something prevented her?

The abandoned warehouse seemed to hold its secrets close, refusing to yield any answers. The cryptic message had promised revelations, but all I found was silence and emptiness.

Eventually, as the first light of dawn began to break on the horizon, I reluctantly left the desolate place, my mind heavy with unanswered questions. The rendezvous had been a tease, a cruel twist in the dangerous game I had initiated.

What am I missing?

As I walked away from the abandoned warehouse, the nagging feeling that I had been watched never left me. It was a reminder that I was not alone in this pursuit, that there were forces at play beyond my control.

The events of that night had only deepened the mystery, leaving me in a state of heightened suspense and agony. The shadows of the past were as elusive as ever, and I couldn't help but wonder what lay ahead in this treacherous journey for the truth.

Daniel Shaw's entrance into our corporate world had been as mysterious as his sudden appearance in our lives. His charisma and sharp intellect were undeniable, but there was an aura of enigma that surrounded him, something that made me wary.

Could he be connected to all of this?

As Amelia and I found ourselves in another high-stakes negotiation, Daniel's voice cut through the tension like a razor.
