The Fall Of Giants:
Keith stared at the screen with a glowing smile. For months now, the Maldivians had battered him, strangled every deal and poisoned every negotiation. But now, he was watching their entire empire collapse. 90% of their shares gone, stripped away by the companies they had bullied. The companies had united and gone against them, some fueled by the bravery Keith had by standing up to them every single time and others because of the hardship the Maldivians had put them through.He should been exhausted, but instead… he felt alive! For the first time in months, the weight pressing down on his chest was gone!Then his phone buzzed. A text message from Leonard.‘It’s done! The Maldivians won’t trouble you anymore, do well to check the attachments. Keith, wish you all the best.’Keith curiously opened the files. Court records. Evidence of the bribed judge who had wrongfully given his wife custody of their son. Financial trails leading back to the Maldivians’ money. His hand tightened around
Malik Kaelith:
The room was silent, except for the soft whistling of the wind. John stood by the tall windows, staring at the city lights. His father’s words still echoed in his mind.“I will be gone soon and you will have to head the family.”The weight of it pressed on his shoulders. But something else pressed on his mind, Leonard! He had disgraced him the first day they had met and John had been looking for the right time to deal with him but his father had talked him out of the idea. And right now, he was reduced to waiting, proving himself.A low beep from his phone pulled him from his thoughts. A message.Unknown number: The time has come. Alone. Hilton, Suite 1702. Midnight.John’s pulse quickened. He didn’t need a name to know who it was. It was his father’s new ally. He had a dangerous look on his face, this was the first step to proving himself!…Midnight came and John slipped into a luxury suite. The curtains were drawn, casting the room in a haze of amber light. A figure sat with his b
A Night Of Fury:
The city lights faded behind them as Gabriel pushed the car to its limits, averting other cars on the road. Leonard sat in silence, eyes locked on the road ahead, jaw clenched like stone.“The intel’s confirmed,” Gabriel said, glancing at him. “The Wades and Hades are at each other’s throats. Outskirts, just past Ridgefield Highway. If we don’t get there soon, it’ll be a massacre.”Leonard’s hand tightened over the armrest. “If they slaughter each other out there, the fallout spills into the city. We put an end to this tonight.”They reached the outskirts just as the sound hit them; gunfire cracking through the night, echoing against the empty fields. Smoke and flashes of muzzle fire lit up the darkness.Gabriel killed the headlights, pulling the car into cover behind an abandoned truck. Leonard stepped out immediately, the sharp wind whipping his coat as he surveyed the chaos. The Wades on one side, the Hades on the other, both dug in, exchanging fire across a field littered with ov
Hope And Love:
The SUV rode steadily as it drove past into the city. Leonard leaned back, resting on the car seat. He had temporarily put a stop to the fight between the two families and now he had just to make them work together for a common goal— defeat Riven.Gabriel glanced at him through the mirror. “Do you think anyone would want to attack Keith?”Leonard’s eyes narrowed. “If it’s true then Riven had picked the wrong bait to rattle me with. I won’t let anything happen to Keith. Inform Diana to send some of the men to look after Keith in secret. I should have issued his protection a long time ago.”Before Gabriel could respond, the dashboard screen flickered to life. A scrambled signal hijacked the comms, painting the screen with a lotus insignia—pure white petals against a black void.“The lotus group…” Leonard mumbled.A distorted female voice filled the air, calm but authoritative.“Impressive move tonight, Leonard. I always knew there was a strong narrative to you and tonight proved me righ
Hearts In The Crosshairs:
Keith drives to a late night dinner feeling ecstatic. He orders coffee and scrolls through his messages. Bella still never responded to his texts or calls. He sighed deeply, leaning back against the seat, maybe she wasn’t meant to be in his story anyways.Suddenly, his phone pings with a notification:‘From Runway to Wedding Aisle: Bella Hadid Is Getting Married’.“What!” Keith sounded almost choking on his coffee. Bella was getting… married?! Many thoughts ran through his mind and he could only give out a sad smile. That was the reason.As he gulped down his coffee, eating the food he had bought earlier, he felt mixed emotions. On the other hand he was finally able to get his son back and now the woman who he had developed feelings for was getting married.Keith slid out of the booth, tossed a few bills on the counter, and stepped into the cool night air. He didn’t notice the three men in a sedan parked across the street, their eyes locked on him through the glass windows. Cameras cl
Kidnapped!
Seth shrugged his backpack over his shoulders and walked down the campus under the streetlights. Everyone else had scattered after finishing their end of the term projects and late night practices but for Seth, the night had the comfortable atmosphere he craved dearly for and also for the pleasure of not seeing his mother’s annoying face. He hummed the chorus of a song he barely remembered the name and shoved his hands in his pockets.‘’You coming to catch the last bus?” Mara, one of his buddies asked, juggling her laptop and a stack of printouts.“Yeah, in five. I need to grab a snack first then I will meet you there,” Seth smiled, reaching for his phone to text his father that he will be going home. Somehow he felt inwardly refreshed knowing that his father was trying his best to get him back. At least he had someone who cared deeply for him, he glanced back at Mara as he walked away from her, she didn’t have anyone who loved her and was always staying back after classes to escape h
Micheal’s Secret Is Out!
Oklahoma.Gabriel burst into the study, his breath uneven. Leonard, seated behind the mahogany desk, looked up with a raised brow seeing the alarmed look on his face, he asked, “What’s wrong?”“Seth has been taken,” Gabriel announced flatly. Leonard’s face darkened. “Were the men you sent to protect useless?!” He thundered, anger surging through his veins.“No. They were hindered,” Gabriel swallowed hard. “Micheal called them and asked them to come back to California stating that he had other concerns he needed them to take care of. Most obeyed out of loyalty to the Dark Dragon. Only a handful disobeyed and stayed for your sake, but they were very few, they were only able to trail Seth and are waiting for further instructions.”Leonard had a blank expression on as he listened to Gabriel’s explanation. Micheal had used his position as the leader of the dark dragon to lure the men back and get Seth into Riven’s palms. He had underestimated them.“They think they can shackle me with th
Joining Forces With The Lotus Group:
Oklahoma.Leonard scanned the live feed projected on the wall. Diana appeared on screen, her expression calm and composed.“It’s done,” she reported. “The evidence is already circulating, every dark dragon member both near and wide has received the intel. Micheal’s secrets are no longer hidden.”Leonard leaned back in his seat, his eyes locked on the screen. “Any response yet?”A faint smile tugged at Diana’s lips. “Divison. They have begun to doubt him and are now questioning him for answers as to why he had betrayed the group. Others say that you were the best leader to ever exist and Micheal was jealous of you and decided to steal your throne.”“I am not concerned with that,” Leonard responded. “The safety of the people around me is what matters to me the most.”Gabriel crossed his arm, satisfied. “Micheal is losing the grip on his own men.”Leonard’s expression was calm as he spoke with authority. “Distrust spreads like wildfire. Michael will try to tighten his grip, and when he d
The Weight Of Sons:
The Davisons’ EstateThe Davison’s mansion was quiet and calm. Leonard’s car pulled up the stone driveway, headlights cutting across the front lawn. Gabriel walked half a step behind him as they entered, escorted quickly past startled guards.Williams Davison sat in his study, pipe smoke curling faintly in the air. His brows furrowed as Leonard walked in unannounced.“Leonard,” Williams said slowly, “This is unexpected. To what do I owe this sudden visit?”Leonard’s eyes swept the room slowly. “Williams Davison, you and your family have been so hell bent on making things difficult for yourselves by angering me. I have been giving your family grace but you have refused to stay in your lane.”“What do you mean?” Williams asked with a confused gaze.“Where is your son?”Williams shifted slightly in his chair. “John? What business do you have with my son?”Leonard leaned forward, his tone quiet but razor sharp. “Your son is meddling in affairs he doesn’t understand. If you don’t bring him
The Weight Of Legacy:
“Keith, stay calm and wait for my instructions. Do you not do anything rashly.”Leonard ended the call and slipped the phone back into his pocket. Keith’s panic was nothing new, emotions made men sloppy. “Gabriel, I want you to make two moves for me. Have Diana dig up one of William’s past secrets and have them exposed to the public once the 24 hours is up. Then contact the lotus group to start the rescue for Seth. I will also need Malik’s location traced. Time to deal with the snake.”…The 24-hours deadline Leonard had given to Williams had elapsed and just like he had predicted John wasn’t handed up to him.The Davison estate was unusually quiet that morning. Servants whispered in corners, and Williams sat at the head of his study desk, staring at the latest financial reports with bloodshot eyes.Overnight, their major bank contract was severed and he had received a phone call from a lender saying that they were freezing transactions pending an audit. One of their warehouses was
