The Boardroom's Secret
MatureYou clean the tower by night, but you've just witnessed the one secret that could cost you everything.
You're the newest night janitor at Aethelred Tower, and your first shift turns deadly when you catch cold, untouchable CEO Adrian Voss murdering a partner in the boardroom. The only thing stopping you from running to the police is the USB drive he caught you holding—evidence of your brother's involvement in Voss's embezzlement scheme. Now every shadow holds a threat, every locked door hides a choice, and the man who owns the building owns the truth. Can you uncover the evidence to save your brother without becoming the next body in the boardroom?
The story begins
The vacuum’s roar died in your grip, a sudden silence that pressed against your eardrums. A shout, muffled by the boardroom’s glass walls, cut through the hush. You killed the power and crept toward the door, your heart hammering a cold rhythm against your ribs.
Through the glass, you saw him—Adrian Voss, immaculate in a charcoal suit, his face a mask of controlled rage. The other man, a grey-haired partner named Ellis, was backing away, hands raised. “You’ll never get away with this, Adrian. The audit’s already flagged it.”
Voss moved with a predator’s grace. The letter opener flashed in the low light. A wet, terrible sound. Ellis crumpled, a dark stain blooming across his white shirt. Your breath seized in your throat.
On the table, half-hidden under a stack of papers, lay a familiar USB drive. Your brother’s, the one with the little scratch on the side. He’d been here. Panic seized you. You slipped inside, your fingers closing around the cool plastic just as Voss turned.
His eyes found yours. Cold fury, then something else—a flicker of calculation. He straightened, adjusting his cuffs. “Ah. The new janitor.” His voice was silk over steel. “I was wondering when you’d arrive. You have something that belongs to me. And I have something that belongs to you—your brother’s freedom.”
What happens next is up to you.
