25 Bad To Worse Ewan was absorbed in thoughts until the beep from the coffee machine went off .
With renewed focus , he collected the ready cups of hot black coffee and briskly walked to his home office where he and Sandro had spent the whole night in , working and trying to find a way out of the pit Athena and Zane had dug for him .
Ewan relaxed his hold on the cups when their hot temperature became unbearable on his knuckles .
Once he handed a cup to Sandro , his assistant bowed his head in appreciation .
He continued to watch , appeased thereafter , when Sandro let out a happy sigh after a sip of the coffee .
You still make the best coffee , Ewan .

The only unfair thing is that you wont show me how to do it .
Ewan chuckled softly .
Not me .
Not any special recipe .
Its just the quality of the machine .
Sandro scoffed and shook his head .
Your new lie ? The last time , you mentioned it was magic transferred from your lineage .
Ewan laughed , the hurt in his chest abating a little .
Not giving Sandro a response , he sat down near his friend , in between a pile of documents .
Just then he heard movements in the house .
Fiona must be back from wherever she had gone to .
He thought , picking a file .
But he didnt actually care to know where she had been .
He wasnt ready for her tantrums this early morning .
He wanted to resolve this matter first .
About last night , he knew he had gone overboard grabbing her by the neck like that .
Whatever her shortcomings , she was a woman , and he shouldnt have manhandled her .
His mother wouldnt be proud of him now .
He sighed , and picked another file , noting somewhere in his mind to get her something lovely today .
For at one time in this life , she had been his savior , hence the reason he was alive today .
Thirty minutes into resolving the issues Ewan thought Athena had kick started , he noticed a pattern with a particular press company .
What press company is that ? KN press company ? I have never heard of it .
Sandro peered at the system , and shook his head in disbelief .
Whats the matter , Sandro ? Do you know them ? Im not sure , since I didnt find much on them last year .
1/4 25 But To Warse .
Ewan furrowed his eyebrows .
Last year ? then .
Yes , they are the company that had released the article of the hacking in our company Remember that we had suspected a spy in our midst , and had fired a lot , even without evidence .
Yet we never did find out how the press com had gotten the intel ; we never found out who their source was .
A pause , where Ewan rested on the wall , and fixed his sight on the ceilings .
I did a personal investigation .
What I found out was that the press company had no physical location only an online presence and they have a huge following .
I also found out that they didnt report every news , except the hot ones ; hot truths that threaten the collapse of companies and governments .
A pause .
I found no report on their workers , backgrounds , or whatever .
Once , I even hired hackers to break into their system , but they couldnt get past the surface .
They had met a blockage of sorts , and a warning Sandro sighed , looking at the article Ewan had brought up on his laptop .
Obviously they are behind this instant spread of news , and its the reason why we cant totally buy the silence of other press companies .
All those I met and spoke with , mentioned convincing the KN press first .
Its known as unshakable now .
Last years attack had suddenly been taken down , we can only hope for the same now .
Ewan drummed his fists on the hard floor , causing Sandros chest to ache ; he wasnt ready for his friend to relapse into the coping mechanism again .
* Sandro , I hate leaving my life to chance .
You know I have never been that kind of person .
Sandro nodded .
But there was no choice this time around .
The same moment , Ewan received a call .
Hello Suarez , whats the update ? And please dont waste my time , get straight to the point .
Sandro sat up straight , and gestured that the phone be put on loudspeaker .
Ewan obliged .
Im sorry sir , I wont waste your time .
The latest update is that the hackers contacted us .
They are demanding money to stop the matter , to clear the rubbish , and also to stop the press … Ewan and Sandro exchanged furtive glances .
This could only mean that the KN media was working together with the hackers .
That would explain a lot ! How much are they asking for ? A pause .
Sandro sighed perceptibly .
The money must be huge .
They are asking for twn hillinn <
