Sebastian's life had started to fall apart piece by piece. His business, which he had worked so hard to build, was failing badly. Every deal he tried to close ended up slipping away, and the people who once wanted to work with him now avoided him completely. In the past few days, it had become painfully clear to everyone in the business circle that Sebastian Kane was losing his grip.

The Blackwood Corporation's share prices kept soaring higher, making headlines every morning, while Kane Enterprises' share prices dropped lower each day. Sebastian would check the numbers again and again, hoping to see any sign of change, but all he saw was red—loss after loss.
