Vincenzo burst into Max’s office, his face a mask of fury. The door slammed against the wall, making everyone inside jump."Why the hell am I being ordered to organize and coordinate the ball?" Vincenzo’s voice was a low growl.Ronald, standing near Max desk, straightened up. He was displeased by Max’s uncle Vincenzo approach he took, especially since they discussing and important matter of all their lives. "Uncle Vincenzo, you shouldn’t just barge in like that, and beside who cares about organizing the ball, it not that big of a deal."Before anyone could react, Vanekan's hand shot out and slapped Ronald across the face, the sound echoing in the tense silence. Ronald staggered, his cheek already reddening."Who do you think you are, talking to me that way? Uh, have you forgotten your place, you little rat”. He grabbed Ronald collar, pulling him close. "I'll send you back to wherever your mother dragged you from if you ever speak to me like that again." Ronald was angry and would have

Flashback"Harder! Harder!! Please go harder!!!"The clapping sound of flesh on flesh could be heard accompanying the aforementioned screams of pleasure which were coming from Lena’s bedroom.Lena Becker, was one of the many illegitimate children that Harold Becker had fathered while he was alive, and she, like all of the late CEO of Beckers Pharmaceutical bastards, had been well taken care of with a weekly and unfailing allowance of $8,000 into her bank account, a scholarship that ran until whenever she decided to stop schooling. So, basically, being his child, legitimate or not, meant that her life had been sorted long ago. But that doesn't mean that Rain had the best life as it's often said, there's so much more in life that money can't buy."Right there!! That's the spot, Hmm.." she moaned.Lena’s mother died in a car accident when she was 18 and she has been alone since then, she was under the impression that the weekly allowance she got and the pre-paid school bills were from a

Lena was hit by Tommy’s revelation. Was he lying? He couldn't be. He'd known her name and everything about her even before she told him. It was difficult for her to accept this truth in her heart, but her head knew that there was no coincidence: this man, who was supposedly her stepbrother, was, in fact, telling the truth.Tommy continued, "you’ve given absolutely NOTHING back to my father or the family. But, that's all about to change," Tommy stated, a wicked smile forming on his face.Lena shuddered. Why was he suddenly smiling? Was this about the job he claimed to have for her? She thought as tears began to stream down her cheeks,"You see… our father, Who was also your father and the man who made your life easy Is dead. He was killed a years ago. Shot dead on the highway." Tommy said.Lena shuddered again. Dead? So now, she was basically an orphan? And the relatives she was left with were men like this one before her? She instantly began to wish for death, too."And, we know who k

The guests started to arrive, it was the day of the September 10th ball. An event hosted by the Luckys every year. While it has been portrayed as an exclusive and elite event only for the wealthiest citizens of New York, in truth it was a gathering of the most powerful and influential individuals of the underworld. It was a day Max aimed to use as his formal way of solidifying his position as the CEO of the Lucky Corporation. All the while having the entire real world and underworld acknowledge him as such.Trisha was standing in front of a mirror, her gown being adjusted as her hands trembled slightly, behind her was Max grandma Evelyn helping her get ready. "Miss Evelyn , I don’t think I can do this," Trisha murmured, her voice barely heard amidst the busy activities surrounding them. "Of course, you can," Evelyn replied, her tone firm but soothing. She stepped up behind Trisha, gently placing her hands on Trisha’s shoulders. "You look stunning. And remember, I'm right here with y

9The grand ballroom buzzed with muted conversations and forced smiles as Tommy and Bobby, Lena’s malevolent secret half-brothers, made their entrance. Their arrival cast a shadow over the celebration, and a palpable sense of unease spread among the guests. You see Lena was attacked or abused by anyone when she met Max, it was all ruse by her twin brothers to get her close to Max. And since no one knew of her connection to the Becker family, she knew the arrival of siblings was nothing but trouble."Well, if it isn't the Becker brothers," sneered an older gentleman, his drink sloshing slightly in his hand."Surprised to see us, Mr. Halloway?" Tommy smirked, his eyes scanning the room.Bobby grinned, stepping closer to the nervous crowd. "We thought we’d drop by and see how our dear rivals is doing."Lena stiffened, her fingers tightening around her glass. Trisha, standing beside her, she observed the tension on Rain’s face, when the two brothers entered.“Lena are you okay?”Trisha sai
