Chapter 51 - the new shadow
Five years after Dominic's peaceful passing, the Sterling empire stood as an untouchable global beacon of green energy. I had officially stepped down from my role as CEO, choosing to spend my days managing our foundation from the quiet safety of our estate.
The heavy, monumental crown of the conglomerate now rested upon the capable shoulders of our twenty-six-year-old daughter, Maya. She possessed my sharp, calculating intellect and her father's deeply intimidating presence. She ruled with flawless precision.
However, supreme global dominance inevitably attracts highly sophisticated predators. A ruthless international energy syndicate, known only as the Apex Coalition, had silently infiltrated the American financial sector, aggressively buying our competitors.
They weren't interested in fair market competition. They used massive political blackmail and corporate extortion to steal proprietary technology. They thought that with Dominic gone, the Sterling family had finally grown vulnerable and weak.
