MIGUEL'S MANSION Elizabeth was curled up in bed, her thoughts swirling as she reflected on the day’s events at work. It felt as though the ground was slipping from beneath her feet just as she was beginning to find her balance. Leadership wasn’t something she craved, but responsibility was a different matter. She had promised Miguel she would manage the company’s affairs competently during his absence. Now, it was obvious that certain board members were conspiring to push her aside. Her mind raced with questions. Was this about her, or was it part of a larger scheme to undermine both her and Miguel? What if this was just the first move in an attempt to wrest control of Oasis Group from their family entirely? "Calm down Elizabeth, you're being paranoid again," she said to herself.
