It was weekend and Chris laid lazily on the sofa, reading a book on AI technologies when Adrian walked in with documents in his hand.“Good morning, boss.” He said as he slightly bowed.“Adrian. Tell me what you have.” Chris said calmly.“Sir, Dave Raymond is the illegitimate son of Mr. Raymond King. The CEO of Kings and Queens enterprise. Five years ago, when his father died, Mrs. King threw Dave out of the family house and cut him off the family. It was then Dave moved abroad. From my findings, he was sacked from all the companies he had worked at because he embezzled funds and put their machineries in jeopardy. There is a rumour that his license was revoked because of that.” Adrian explained thoroughly.Chris smirked a little. “I want you to dig into the license rumour and get back to me.”“Yes, sir. Is there something else you’d need before I leave?” Adrian asked respectfully.“None for now, Adrian. Thank you.”I’ll see you next week.The weekend passed by quickly. Chris studied t

Two days have passed and everything was going well. Chris was making progress at work. Almost every one of his team members respected and liked his zeal for technology.That night, after he had finished work, Chris and Adrian went downtown to somewhere that looked like the out-sketch of the city.It was the quiet loft space he had asked Adrian to secure for him.Adrian stood beside a long table filled with hardware components.“You’ll need more processing power if you want real-time global modeling,” Adrian said calmly.“I know.” Chris responded. He looked like he was deep in thought.“I’ve arranged secondary servers offshore. They are discreet, reliable and scalable.”Chris looked at him. “Thank you.”Adrian gave a slight nod.“You’re building something that can’t be contained inside corporate politics. You’ll need insulation.” Adrian said.Chris looked at all the things he had prepared. This was it. He remembered how he couldn’t afford to launch the first AI app by himself because o

The next morning, Dave resumed his resumed work feeling rather confident and saucy.Passing Chris’s desk, he asked with a smile. “Working hard, junior?”Chris gave him a suspicious look, “Good morning sir. Woke up on the right side of the bed today?” he askedDave twisted his face a bit but he quickly covered it up. “C’mon, you are my JUNIOR. I need to guide and treat you well else you’d tell others we mistreat you here at Novasphere.” Dave said, intentionally putting emphasis on junior.Chris chuckled, “I might be a junior but my work speaks for me.”Dave was about to counter him when Elena's voice broke out. “Mr. Greene. I need you in my office.” She said then turned to leave.Chris smirked, “You see? Some of us are needed, unlike some.”Then he left.“You bastard! What did you say to me? Come back here!” Dave tried to follow but Donny quickly stopped him.He smiled nervously, “Sir….” Before he could continue, Dave pulled him by his collar.He angrily said, “You fool! How dare you t

By the time Chris presented the official Aurora roadmap two weeks later, the atmosphere had changed.The board questioned aggressively.“Is this scalable?” one of the members said.“Is this stable?” another asked“Are we exposing ourselves?” another one also said.Chris noticed it immediately.This wasn’t random. This was prepared skepticism.He adjusted. Didn’t get defensive. Didn’t over-explain. He simplified things. Reframed them and demonstrated cost-benefit in cold numbers.But afterward, Elena made some findings and called him back into her office.“Dave pre-briefed two board members,” she said calmly.Chris didn’t look surprised. “That’s allowed.”“Yes.” Elena said calmly.She studied him carefully. “You don’t seem angry.”“Should I be?” Chris asked.She stepped closer. “He’s trying to limit your authority.”Chris nodded slightly. “That’s expected.”“And you’re fine with that?” Elena asked, confused.“I’m fine with proving him wrong.” He said calmly with a smile.That answer di

It was a Saturday morning and the doors of LaVente Luxury Emporium opened with a soft chime. Marble floors gleamed under bright chandeliers, and the scent of polished wood and rare leather filled the air.Charlotte Wood glided in first, effortlessly perfect. Beside her was her new found muse, Desmond Jade, the CEO of Jade mining company, her new fiancé.She looked self-satisfied, meticulously groomed, holding a designer bag loosely in one hand. Both of them scanned the high-end displays as if the world itself existed to serve them.“This chandelier is exquisite,” Charlotte said, running a manicured hand along a crystal fixture. “We should consider it for the penthouse.”Desmond smirked. “The best, Charlotte. Only the best.”They walked confidently, looking around as though everything in the store belonged to them or at least could.Then Charlotte noticed them. Chris Greene and Michelle Antonio.Chris was standing near the rare vintage tech section, casually leaning on a display of han

Chris turned toward him calmly. “Short-term acceleration doesn’t build dominance.”There it was. The quiet clash between themElena’s eyes moved between them.Dave pivoted not emotionally, not reckless. “I’m not attacking innovation. I’m protecting the runway. My proposal is simple. Temporary funding reduction for Aurora. Reallocate toward immediate revenue-generating verticals.” Adrian said thoughtfully.He was being professional and rational. He wasn’t sabotaging.He was framing Chris as brilliant but impractical.Elena exhaled slowly. “Temporary reduction?” she asked.“Six months,” Dave said. “We stabilize. Then reassess.”Silence.Chris knew what this was. Dave wasn’t destroying Aurora. He was to starve it till the company would giveElena looked at Chris again. “You’re confident Aurora doesn’t stall under partial restriction?”Chris met her gaze evenly. “I won't stall, Ms. Elena.”It wasn’t arrogance. It was a fact.Elena studied him longer than necessary.And Dave noticed.After

The next morning, Elena called a full team meeting.Dave had orchestrated a quarterly review presentation. He intended to show Aurora’s slowed integration rate as “risk exposure.”The team gathered in the conference room. Elena projected Aurora’s dashboard, green, yellow, and red indicators displayed across the massive screen.Dave presented professionally. “Aurora’s performance, under reduced funding, shows areas requiring strict oversight. Without full capital, scaling efficiency is constrained.”He paused, looking pointedly at Chris.The murmurs began. People questioned timelines. Skepticism built.Then Chris spoke. Calm. Precise. Measured.“Constrained resources don’t equal failure,” he said, stepping forward. “Aurora’s adaptive integration system was designed for exactly this scenario.”He ran a live demo code executing across reduced nodes, predictions stabilizing in real-time, response metrics exceeding pre-reduction performance.The room went quiet.Elena’s eyebrows lifted sli

Three weeks have passed and it was finally the Launching day of the Aurora project.The conference room at Elena Mayer’s office was filled with project leads, engineers, and department heads. The large oval table gleamed under the overhead lights, and a screen at the end displayed the Aurora project launch timeline.Chris sat quietly, arms folded, reviewing the metrics on his tablet. Beside him, was Donny, his assistant for the Aurora project, ever observant, made subtle notes, ready to assist if necessary.Elena stood at the head of the table, calm but authoritative. “Thank you all for coming. Today, we need to decide who will oversee the public launch of Aurora. It’s critical that this is done flawlessly. The project is too important to leave to chance.”There was a pause as eyes shifted around the room. Many looked at Chris.“I think it’s clear,” one senior engineer said, leaning forward, “Chris should handle it. He’s done the most work, knows the system inside out, and has already

The Cross Holding auditorium gleamed under the morning light. Executives, investors, and journalists filled every seat, buzzing with anticipation. The massive screens behind the stage displayed sleek graphics.Global cyber threats, corporate vulnerabilities, and the promise of a revolutionary AI system called AEGIS.Dave Raymond entered with the confidence of a man who believed he understood the room.He had spent weeks trying to forget Chris’s success with the Aurora project and just position himself as an authority on strategic innovation, hoping that this unveiling would reinforce his rising influence.But he would definitely die from the shock when he sees that the real architect of AEGIS, the genius behind every predictive algorithm, every self-healing protocol, every adaptive response was none other than his sworn enemy, Chris Greene.Leaning casually in the back row, hands folded, eyes scanning the crowd. Calm. Unassuming. Yet every second he had invested into AEGIS, every late

Three days have passed since Chris’s big success and it was like any other day as Chris lazily lounged on his sofa, reading books to relax his mind.He was done with the Aurora project and is taking a break from AEIGS. He was engrossed in his reading until he heard his phone beep.The message was clear. “Meet me now, son.” It was the godfather.Chris jumped from the sofa and in a few minutes he was ready as he stepped out of his building. He had tried to reach out to Adrian but he didn’t pick his calls.He sent him a message, “Meet me at the godfather’s, Adrian.”The city stretched below in a million sparkling lights, indifferent to the silent drama unfolding in the top floor of the Mikaelson Syndicate headquarters.Chris Green’s footsteps echoed softly against the polished marble floors as he entered the Godfather’s study, a place he had been summoned to but had never expected to feel this weighty.The Godfather sat behind a massive mahogany desk, the kind of desk that seemed less fu
