Carlisle lay there, the weight of the situation pressing on him. The revelation about Islo Clothing’s downfall stirred something deep within him, a sense of urgency he hadn’t felt until now. The knowledge that the company would collapse in three days was a heavy burden, especially given the personal connections to Riverland that he had yet to fully navigate. The mention of Wanda and now the threat from Mike Carlson only added to his confusion and uncertainty.
He thought about Heath’s advice—make enough money first—and the logic behind it. In his past life, he had always been able to weather the storms by having the resources to back him up. But now, without his past advantages or a clear path forward, the weight of his reborn situation felt like an invisible chain.
Carlisle’s mind raced as he thought of the larger picture. The message from the scar-faced senior seemed trivial now compared to the greater issue looming over the city. The crash of Islo Clothing would likely shake Riverland to its core, and everyone from the smallest shopkeeper to the most powerful figures would feel the ripple effects.
But Carlisle was here, now. And his future was yet to be written.
The question was, how should he act on the knowledge of Islo Clothing’s imminent collapse? Should he try to prevent it or let it play out, knowing that the repercussions would change the power dynamics in Riverland?
His phone buzzed again. It was a message from Owen:
“Hey, I’ll help with anything. Just say the word.”
Carlisle quickly typed back: “Thanks, Owen. But I might need something more. Something big.”
The weight of the decision hung heavily on his shoulders. If he used the knowledge of Islo Clothing’s downfall, he could make a fortune. But at what cost? Would this put him at odds with the very people he was trying to stay close to?
As he drifted into a restless sleep, his mind was plagued by questions. Would this rebirth give him the chance to alter the course of events, or was he doomed to repeat history?
The morning would bring new challenges, but Carlisle knew that, for now, he needed to tread carefully.
