The Elite secret society holds an emergency meeting in the basement of the oldest church in the city. The dark room is illuminated only with the aid of candles, and the doors has been shut by the guards that are outside. Why are they gathered so quickly? Because of Lord Snow. Since his sudden return at the beginning of the year, he has succeeded in turning the entire country upside down. The Elite Society are the underground lawmakers of the economy of the country, and for decades, things have been under their control. But now that Lord Snow has returned, everything has turned upside down, and it has sunk their shares into the depths of the sea. The last straw from them is that Lord Snow bought the Rose Property, the most wanted land in the whole country, and he gave it to this unknown woman. They have decided that they are not going to have it anymore, hence the meeting. The Master of this society is seated at the head of the table. His eyes are shielded by the hood of his r

Never have the members of this society heard something as crazy as this. Never has someone walked into this place and ordered them to instate him as the leader of their society! The Master laughs, hunching over and clapping his hand. "You want to take over my seat? How old are you? I'm sure you are not even up to thirty!" He snorts. "Do you know how long I had to be a member before I got picked to become Elite Master?" "Three decades, my Lord," one of the members answered. "And that was only after intense venting and voting from the other members." Seven snarls from where he stands. "Don't worry, we are going to get the votes, alright," he spins his hunting knife in the air, before catching it. The men move away from him in fright, they do not want to be gutted by that shiny device. "Mister Adkins, you don't understand. It's easier for Fanny Snow to become the Elite Master than it would be for you to even become a common member," another member says. "The first step is that yo

The Hudson family are having a little dinner with some partners of their company, having a good time when an old family friend goes to say hello to them. "I'm so glad to hear that your family is climbing up the ranks," old Mister Fargo says. "Your grandfather would be so proud." Mister and Mrs Hudson smile to themselves as they nod in reaffirmation. "Our son has been doing a good job, now everyone wants to buy a portion of our shares, because we have become so popular." But the man laughs incredulously. Even though he doesn't want to say it out loud to embarrass the family, everyone knows that Andrew has a gambling problem. He alone is not leading the company, because the first time Mr and Mrs Hudson allowed him to take over for six months, he ended up almost sending them into deep debt. Emerald seeing the disbelief on the old man's face decides to use that as a moment to increase her own ego. "Mum and Dad, can you stop trying to make me so humble?" She laughs. "We all know tha

Lauren is flabbergasted by her cousin. "You think you are the one who made Lord Snow hire me in the first place? Is this supposed to be a joke, Emerald?" Emerald laughs. "Do I look like a joker to you?" "Come on, Emerald, you didn't give anything to Stanley and I! I don't care if you are engaged to Lord Snow, but we earned everything we have gotten!" But Emerald further snarls. "Don't be grateful, okay? Keep on acting like this, and with a snap of a finger, I will order you to return everything! Anyways, I haven't called to bicker with you! Instead, I have called to tell you that my birthday is in a few days. It's going to be a huge party, and you must attend." Since Emerald called her and has been telling her many bizarre things, this is the one that shocks her the most is that her evil cousin wants to willingly invite her to her birthday birthday. In fact, when they were younger and Lauren has been very sad and trying to get used to living with he extended family members, Emer

Now Lauren's heart stops for a second, because she now realizes that it's all a been a plan for Emerald to prove to everyone that she can get the rose garden for herself. She wants Lauren to give it to her in front of everyone, so that they would respect her even more, but Lauren's jaw tightens up stubbornly. "Emerald, you know I can't do that." "What do you mean you can't?!" "Lord Snow gave it to me to protect. He said that the property is a very important one." Lauren insists. Emerald's face turns even red, and she looks to her left and to her right. "What do you mean you can't?! It's so easy, you just have to sign off to me!" "It's too dangerous, Emerald, I won't be doing that!" "So, it's not that you can't, you won't!" Emerald huffs. The tension in the air is so stiff that it has deflated all the excitement out of the place. The other girls are looking on with gawking expressions on their faces. They never expected that Emerald would fight her sister so shamelessly in f

Emerald grabs Lauren's hand, so that she doesn't have a chance to run, then she turns to the girl with the jewelry tester. "Go ahead with it!" Immediately, the lady placed the device against Lauren's gemstone, and the poor girl hold her breath. Not because she is concerned with if it's real or fake, but because of the insult that her husband, who worked so hard to get this ring for her, (fake or not). But, the atmosphere suddenly changes when the machine beeps loudly, showing a green light. "Huh," the lady looks at her device. "It says it's real." "What?" Emerald snatches it. "How can you say that? Do you see the size of the gemstone? How can Stanley Adkins of all people be able to afford it?!" The lady stumbles on her words, but she can't come up with a good enough excuse. Even Lauren is flabbergasted by the results. She runs her hand over the ring, blinking slowly. Stanley lied to her about the real value of the ring, because he didn't want her to be worried about where he

Anna is so surprised that she finds herself laughing shortly. "A fan?" She snorts. "I have heard all sorts of compliments, but I can't say that I have ever heard this one.""Are you kidding me?" Lauren rushes to her side. "You're the real pioneer of the Gibney empire! Where would it be without you and your financial security skills?" Anna snorts, turning away. "Tell that to my brothers." Lauren's hand goes over her forehead. "But what are you doing here? Did you come to see someone? Or have dinner at this high-end restaurant?" Anna just shrugs. "I'm here to see you, Mrs Adkins. I'm here to help with Silver Tradings." "What?" Lauren laughs, because she thinks it's just a joke. "The former people who were in charge of Silver Tradings didn't handle it well, so I will work with you to recover the funds, and also help secure the rest,"Anna explains. Lauren is stunned. "Lord Snow hired you?" Anna frowns, because when Stanley accepted her help to recover the funds of his mother's

The place becomes as quiet as a grave, and President Sampson looks like he could burst because of how red he has gotten in the face, as a result of his anger. "Did you say... Lord Snow....is now the Elite Master?!" He barks. "You mean Lou and the rest of the members voted for him even though you know that he is my worst enemy?!" Mister Tate is shaking to his core, but he somehow manages to remain stranded in front of the man. "He forced our hand, sir, he had a claim to the seat, since his family remains the highest in the elite rankings!" "Nonsense! You stupid men broke the rules for him, and now I am going to make you pay!" Before Mister Tate can go down on his knees and beg for his life, President Sampson has already pulled a gun from the hoist of one of the security men, and aimed the gun at Tate, finger on the trigger and all. Tate finds himself frozen, hands in the air, because the dark look in the President's eyes tells him that he means to kill him. "Please, Mister Pres

Tate's lips are full of thanks as he jumps into the car. Seven doesn't wait for the door to shut before he steps on the gas and drives off with great speed. Tate keeps looking back, thinking that the President is going to send armored vehicles after them, but the road is so empty. Maybe Stanley's threats worked after all. "You... He actually sent you to make sure that I deliver the message without being hurt." Tate's voice breaks. Seven snorts, looking at the mirror, so that he can see Tate. "Well, you obeyed him. Lord Snow always rewards people who are faithful to him." Tate wipes his hand over his face, getting rid of some sweat. It's like he has just been on the wildest ride of his life, and he is yet to get down from the high. Seven doesn't even reduce the speed, he keeps going so fast until they come to stop in an abandoned gas station. Tate's eyes widen because he recognizes his May batch parked there, and Stanley is leaning against it. The car stops, and both of them

Fanny Snow sees on the news that Dante Higgins died, and this makes her really hot and happy. All of the people who abandoned her, or worked against her, are dropping like flies and she is loving every second of it. So, when she is informed that Stanley Adkins has come to pay her a visit, she happily goes down to meet him. "Young man, you are the most proactive person I have ever had in my corner," she smiles as she sits down. "Don't worry, as soon as I get out of this place, I am going to turn your life around!" Stanley frowns, because he is pretending that he has no idea what she is talking about. "Mrs Snow, I am surprised," he admits. "What? Why?" "Because I don't understand why you are not angry at me right now." "How can I be angry at you when you followed my orders? Dante Higgins is dead, and that means that I am now the Master of the Elite Society!" Stanley sighs, dropping his head into his hands. "Ma'am, you have this thing wrong. I wasn't the one who killed Dante Hi
