Dave was also taken aback by the Egoista he saw. He never believed he would come face to face with the dragon. As to who sat honourably inside this exuberant car, Dave already knew that the person was above his level a million miles. Everyone turned to look at the next person who dropped from the car. It was a male. A young man. As soon as he dropped, jaws dropped. The young man was not far from being a god. He wore a sharp, impeccably tailored suit that hugged his athletic frame, accentuating his broad shoulders and chiselled features. His dark hair was styled with precision, framing a face that exuded confidence and charisma. In that moment, as he stood before them, Nathan Reed was not just a man, but a legend in the making, a symbol of power and success that left an indelible mark on all who crossed his path. “Is that Nathan Reed?” “No! It can’t be! It is far from possible. Maybe he’s just his look alike. Nathan is a broke church rat. There’s no way he can be rich overni

“Where are you going all dressed like this?” Vanessa asked Alex in an alluring manner. She lay on the bed, her seducing voice swarming into Alex’s ear like a hot breeze. “Mr. Frost and I have a meeting. He said it is an emergency meeting. I fucking hope he has not found out. If he has, I am in a big pile of mess.” Alex replied, adjusting his tie. Vanessa smiled. “You know, if only you had not spent time with that bitch, you would have stored up some money to fix your bullshit.” she said. “No, Vanessa. Stop this. We are not going to talk about Megan again. Not now, not ever. Just.. just stop with it.” Alex ordered. Vanessa carved an evil smile and nodded. “Sure, honey. Not a word about her from me ever again.” And Vanessa was right. Megan was in good shape. She would probably be bored and hungry and Vanessa was not ready to have her die yet. She had so much to let Emma see, especially the downfall of Nathan Reed if and only if the bastard somehow manages to spring back from th

“Come on, boss. They’re gonna break in, we are gonna die, fuck! I’m gonna open the door.” “No. Stop being a pussy and get your ass over here!” Neil ordered and reached out for a pistol quickly from his drawer. Neil then pulled Darius to himself and pointed the gun to his head. The officers finally broke in after counting down. “I’ll shoot him! I’ll fucking shoot him if you all don’t get out now. You don’t want me to kill an innocent civilian now, do ya?” Neil screamed, holding the gun to Darius' head with one hand and choking his neck with the other. “Listen, we do not care if that man dies or not, Mr. Neil. You are all in this together and we do not fucking care. So, you have two options. Put the gun down and surrender peacefully, or we will take you down by force, regardless of the body count," the taller officer responded coldly, his eyes narrowing as he took a step forward. His partner mirrored the motion, both men completely unfazed by Neil's threats. Neil's grip on the

Alex’s hands were almost vibrating, but he did not pick the call. No, not now, not ever. Neil had been caught and he would have to suffer everything alone. He was smart to have detached Brymid from his legal possession. Now, he would be free and only Neil was going to suffer the consequence of their actions. “Alex looked at Vanessa. She too was tense, but not as tense as he was. The atmosphere in the reception was too thick for them to breathe properly. They were about to meet Mr. Frost as they had agreed, and there were so many things on their plates. Firstly, Alex would have to answer why he used inauthentic materials for a project as huge and important as The Genesis project. He had used the money for his personal benefit. Now, he was short on capital and was literally in a big mess. Secondly, Mr. Frost has asked him to come along with Kamsi. But why? How could he tell Mr Frost the truth? That Kamsi, the teenager whom he came on with just a few weeks ago, was dead? Killed by

Nathan raised an eyebrow, his expression inscrutable. “Hmm... right, space. But you did mention she was doing exceptionally well. I find it hard to believe that someone so talented would just abandon a project like Genesis, especially with the kind of funding we’re talking about.” He leaned in, his voice low and laced with an intensity that made Alex's skin crawl. “Unless, of course, there’s something else going on. Something you’re not telling me. Perhaps you’re feeling the heat from the recent news surrounding Brymid? The hospital you’ve so conveniently distanced yourself from?” At this point, Alex was sure that he was peeing himself. He could hear the droplets of water cascading down from his pants and hitting the marble floor. A bead of sweat trickled down his back as he fought to maintain his facade. “Brymid is... it’s a separate entity, sir. I have no involvement with their operations anymore. That’s Neil’s problem now,” he stammered, but even he could hear the desperation
