Chapter 1 1
The entire office was silent, but beneath the silence a constant wave of tension could be felt. The morning came when it seemed that all the actions of Joaquin, Sally, and their team had a deep threat. They know that the silence will not last long, because the outbreak of their enemy's plans is getting closer.
When Sally wakes up, she feels the weight of responsibilities resting on their shoulders. Although he was used to this kind of battle, now it seemed that they were facing a different kind of test-a battle not only for business but also for people's trust and the very security of their foundation.
While they were together at the breakfast table, Joaquin felt the seriousness on Sally's face. He approached his wife and calmly asked, "Honey, are you okay? I know things are tough, but we'll get through this."
Sally looked at Joaquin, and despite being tired, he smiled. "We can do it, Joaquin. But sometimes, I can't help but think how far the situation will test us. I feel that no matter what we do, there will always be another problem."
Joaquin took a deep breath and held his wife's hand. "You're right, there are many battles. But we don't give up. We can't stop the fight because we know that many people are counting on us."

At the foundation, Sally continues to do her job. He is busy communicating with donors and their partners in the project, but something seems to be bothering him. He knew that he had to make sure that their support was still intact despite threats of sabotage and rumors that were spreading about their operation.
While in the middle of a video conference with one of their biggest partners, the screen suddenly blips. He quickly became concerned that there might be a technical problem, but that wasn't the real threat. After a few seconds, everything returns to normal, but Sally notices what appears to be a strange message on the side of the screen-an encrypted email that isn't part of their system.
He stopped and immediately reported it to Joaquin.
---
When Joaquin arrived at Sally's office, he was with Marcos to look at the strange messages. They immediately noticed that the message was from a source they had already investigated. The message revealed George's group's plans to launch a simultaneous attack on Joaquin's foundation and businesses.
"Marcos, is this the confirmation we've been waiting for?" Joaquin asked as he held the paper containing the decoded information from the email.
"That's right, Joaquin. It looks like this is their next step. The plan is to attack within two days. The target is not only us, but also some of our business partners and the foundation," answered Marcos, seriously. the expression.
Sally was worried by what she heard. "In that case, we have to prepare. We can't let them take us down completely."
---
Joaquin and Marcos quickly planned. They tasked every member of their team to be alert and make sure no information gets leaked. They have raised the level of security in every aspect of their operations-from IT systems to the physical security of their offices and businesses.
Joaquin also instructed Lydia to spread a positive message in the media to counter any false information that the enemy may put out. They want to ensure that the transparency of their operations and projects can be shown to the public.
"Let's spread the stories of those who have been helped by the foundation," Joaquin told Lydia. "Make sure we can show how much of an impact what we're doing, so our efforts aren't dismissed in the face of lies."
Lydia agreed and immediately set to work to prepare interviews and testimonials from the foundation's beneficiaries.

Meanwhile, in the midst of Sally's busy preparations for an important meeting with donors, she receives a call from an unfamiliar number. He slowly answered the phone, and on the other end, he heard a voice he hadn't heard in a long time-George's voice.
"Sally, we haven't spoken in a long time," said George, with a strange coldness in his voice.
Sally was shocked to hear. "George? What do you need?"
"I know you already know about our plans. Don't pretend you don't know what's going on," George replied, seeming to underestimate the situation. "But I'm giving you a chance to back out. You know you can't win, Sally. Especially if I release all the information we have about the foundation."
Sally tried to stay calm. "George, we won't back down from you. We know what you're doing is wrong, and we won't give in to your threats."
George laughed on the other line. "Think about that, Sally. Because if you don't back down, you might lose more than you think."
After the call, Sally returned to the boardroom where Joaquin and the other members of their team were waiting. He told the story of what happened, and you could feel the weight on their faces.
"George knows our every move," Sally said, her voice shaking. "But we can't let him go. We have to end this."

In the last episode of the day, the whole team of Joaquin and Sally started to work together to deal with the threats. Everyone is busy strengthening their defense-from the legal team to their PR experts.
In the middle of the preparations, Joaquin received a call from Marcos. "Joaquin, there is bad news. We have personnel in a warehouse of the foundation who suddenly disappeared. We don't know yet if they were kidnapped or they left voluntarily, but there are signs that a battle may have taken place."
Joaquin looked at Sally. They feel that the situation is getting worse, and there is no time to flake.
"Marcos, find them. We need to know what happened to them before it gets worse," Joaquin ordered firmly. They can no longer flake. He knew that any mistake could result in the collapse of everything they had built.
---
As the deadline mentioned by George gradually approaches, Joaquin and Sally feel that their relationship deepens. With each step they take, their trust in each other deepens, and with each battle they face, they become stronger as a couple.
One afternoon, while they were walking together in the garden of their house, they talked about all the trials they would face.
"Sometimes I wonder, love, how we got through all this," Joaquin said as he gently pulled Sally close to him.
"Maybe because we know we have a bigger purpose," Sally replied, a smile in her eyes. "It's not just for us, it's for everyone who depends on us."
Joaquin nodded and kissed Sally on the forehead. "You're right. And we won't allow our enemies to just finish everything we've worked for."
---
By nightfall, Joaquin, Marcos, and their entire team helped each other again to make sure they were ready to meet any threat from George and his group. It's no longer just a business fight-it's a fight for their reputation, their dreams, and the trust of the people who depend on them.
