Benjamin stood quietly in his suite, letting the silence settle around him. The room was calm and neatly arranged, every item placed with care, but none of that held his attention. His focus stayed on his phone, on the numbers displayed on the screen. He stared at them longer than he needed to, as if looking away too soon might somehow change what he was seeing. Eighty-six million dollars. That was what remained in his account.A soft breath slipped past his lips as he took it in again. Even now, it still didn’t feel completely real. Just a few weeks ago, that number had been one hundred million. The exact amount the family butler had transferred to him without hesitation, as if it were nothing. That same day came back to him without warning. The day the butler reached out. The day everything began to change. And also, the day he found out the truth about Rose and Ryan. His fingers tightened slightly around the phone.For a brief moment, the memory tried to drag him back into it. T

Martha had already made arrangements. By the time Benjamin stepped out into the hotel’s parking area, the car was there waiting for him. It was parked a short distance from the entrance, positioned neatly among the other vehicles. Nothing about it stood out. No flashy finish. No exaggerated design. It looked like an ordinary, well-maintained car, the kind that could pass unnoticed in any part of the city. That was exactly what he had requested. Benjamin’s gaze shifted toward the driver. The man stood beside the car, posture straight, hands lightly clasped in front of him. He looked to be in his late forties, maybe early fifties. His features were calm, composed. There was a quiet professionalism in the way he carried himself. An Asian man. He noticed Benjamin approaching almost immediately and gave a small nod in greeting. “Mr. Benjamin,” he said politely. Benjamin returned the nod. There was no unnecessary exchange. The driver stepped forward, opened the rear door, and wai

The car slowed as it approached its destination.Traffic had thinned slightly in this part of the city, and the buildings around them carried a different presence. They were taller, more refined, and clearly designed with intention rather than convenience. The driver eased the car to a smooth stop. “We’ve arrived, Sir,” he said. Benjamin glanced out the window. His eyes settled on the building ahead. Sullivan Corp. The name was inscribed boldly at the front, set against a polished stone panel that reflected the late afternoon light. The lettering was clean and bold, not overly flashy, yet impossible to miss. Benjamin stepped out of the car. The first thing he noticed was the structure itself. The building stood wide and confident, its design a blend of modern glass and solid architectural elements. Tall glass panels stretched from the ground floor to the upper levels, giving a clear view of the interior while reflecting the sky and surrounding structures. The edges of the bui

Maya reacted almost instantly.The moment she realized who was standing there, her expression changed in a way that was hard to miss. The slight confusion she had earlier simply faded away, replaced by a warm, genuine smile that reached her eyes. It was him. Benjamin. For a short moment, she kept her gaze on him, as if making sure she was not mistaken. Then she turned back toward the couple she had been assisting. They were already near the end of their conversation. Their stance, the way they exchanged small nods, and the ease between them made it clear they had already reached a decision. Maya straightened a little and slipped back into her professional tone. “As discussed,” she said calmly, “this model comes with the full package. Maintenance coverage for the first year is included, and the payment plan we went over earlier is still flexible.” The man gave a small nod. “That works for us,” he said. The woman beside him smiled softly. “We’ll take it.” Maya returned the sm

“Benjamin,” Maya said. Her tone carrying a mix of familiarity and light amusement. Benjamin returned the smile. “Maya,” he replied. For a brief moment, they simply stood there, taking each other in. Maya’s appearance matched the setting around her. She was dressed in a plain white shirt, neatly tucked into a pair of loose, well-fitted trousers. The look was simple, but everything about it was intentional. Clean lines. Neutral tones. Professional without trying too hard. There was a quiet authority in the way she carried herself, something that reminded Benjamin of Martha. Not entirely the same. But close enough to notice. On the other hand, Maya found her attention drawn to Benjamin. Not in an obvious way. Just… naturally. He looked different. There was nothing loud about what he wore. No flashy branding. No exaggerated accessories. Yet everything fit. Everything looked deliberate. The black mock neck sweater sat neatly on him, structured but comfortable. The jeans balan

Maya walked slightly ahead, guiding the direction as Benjamin followed at an easy pace.The section she led him into had a distinct atmosphere compared to the rest of the showroom. The lighting here was more focused, casting a clean glow over each vehicle. The cars were spaced generously, each one given room to stand on its own. Their polished surfaces reflected the overhead lights, giving off a quiet sense of prestige. Maya slowed her steps as they approached the first row. “This is where we keep models that sit right between luxury and performance,” she said, turning slightly toward him. “Not entry level, but not extreme either. A balanced range.” Benjamin gave a small nod, his eyes already scanning the lineup. Maya gestured toward the first car. “Over here, we have the Ferrari Roma,” she began. “It’s priced at about four hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Front-engine V8, very smooth drive, and it leans more toward elegance than aggression. It’s one of those cars you can driv

“I’m not really feeling them.” Benjamin said it like it was nothing out of the ordinary. His voice stayed even, without any pause or doubt hanging behind it. It sounded like a simple conclusion, nothing more. Maya looked at him for a brief moment, taking in his expression. Then she smiled. Not out of surprise, and not because she expected anything different. It was calm, like she had already decided how to handle whatever came next. “Alright,” she said. “Let’s move up a bit.” She turned and started forward again, guiding him deeper into the showroom. As they crossed into the next section, the mood around them changed. The spacing between the cars opened up, giving each vehicle more room to stand on its own. The lighting here felt more intentional, falling across the surfaces in a way that made every detail easier to notice. Nothing felt crowded anymore. Each car seemed like it had its own space to speak for itself. Maya slowed as they reached the first row.“These fall within

Maya slowed her pace as they approached the next section, her steps becoming more measured before she gave a small, knowing nod and guided him forward. The change was immediate the moment they crossed into the space. Everything felt quieter, almost insulated from the rest of the showroom. The number of cars on display had dropped, yet each one carried a weight that made up for it. These were not just machines arranged for display. They commanded attention without effort. The lighting above had been carefully positioned to trace every curve, every edge, bringing out the depth of the paint and the precision in the bodywork. Even the atmosphere seemed different, as though the space expected a certain level of focus from anyone who entered. Maya came to a stop near the first row and turned slightly toward Benjamin. “These are in the one to two million range,” she said. “This is where things begin to shift. Not just in performance, but in craftsmanship, rarity, and engineering detail.”

Benjamin sighed as he heard footsteps long before he saw the intruder.The showroom had a noise of its own: soft footsteps on the concrete, the distant murmur of a deal.being agreed to. The occasional clink of a key fob against the glass. It was simple yet elegant.Ryan looked like one who does not fit into that kind of setting.He walked in like he belonged to the elite world and everyone bows down to him: just present in his own little way but even his presence was meant to speak words.Benjamin didn't turn immediately He bent down near the sedan, his finger was resting along the seam where the rear panel meets the chrome trim. He pressed lightly and noticed that it was irregular, he held it for a while longer than necessary.Then he stood up as if he had come to a definite conclusion; that was where he turned.Ryan was already near the entrance. Rose was beside him, having a calm expression on her face as if she had concluded on how the meeting was going to end.Ryan looked at the

Ryan came back to the showroom for the second time as he couldn't believe his ears. He stood at a spot recalling the earlier incident and couldn't help but shake his head. Rose notices that Ryan was a little bit disturbed, she took in a deep breath before she tugged his hands “Ryan,” she called out.This time around, he heard her, but he didn't answer.His mind was racing with different thoughts as his face came up to a frown as he came into an uncertain solution. He had walked in with pride, not with suspicion but with pride: thinking that he already had the answers.Benjamin Wayne. Poor background. Dependent. His connection to Maya explains everything. A man whose influence came from connections not power.That had fit the missing puzzle, too bad.But now, it didn't.Ryan's eyes darted around the showroom as diverse thoughts ran through his mind. The environment remained how it was and had not changed a bit, not even after the confrontation. Staff in uniform as they go on with the
