The alarm on Dominic Hart's phone rang at exactly 5:00 a.m.

He opened his eyes before the second ring.

The small storage room he slept in was barely large enough for a single bed. The walls were cracked, and the ceiling fan squeaked every few seconds. It had once been a pantry before Helen decided it was "good enough" for her son-in-law.

    Aurora sat motionless in the empty conference room.The proposal that had taken months to prepare lay untouched on the polished table.Rejected.One word.One decision.Everything she had worked toward was slipping through her fingers.Helen was the first to recover."This is ridiculous!" she snapped. "He's only doing this to get revenge."One of the Apex executives looked at her calmly."Mrs. Hart, Chairman Pierce made it very clear. Your proposal was reviewed according to company standards."Helen scoffed."Don't lie to me!"The executive closed his folder."Whether he knew you or not, the proposal contained major financial risks. It would not have been approved."Aurora lowered her head.For the first time, she wondered whether Dominic had truly been fair.Had she mistaken justice for revenge?Meanwhile, on the top floor of Apex Tower...Dominic stood inside his new office.Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the skyline of Los Angeles.The office was elegant but understated.Charl

    The conference room fell into complete silence.Every executive stood with their backs straight, their eyes fixed on the doorway.Aurora adjusted her jacket and forced a confident smile. Helen leaned forward eagerly, expecting to see a powerful business tycoon in his sixties.Footsteps echoed down the hallway.Steady.Calm.Unhurried.Then the doors swung open.Charles Whitmore entered first.The silver-haired gentleman carried himself with quiet authority.Every executive bowed respectfully."Good morning, Mr. Whitmore."Charles gave a slight nod before stepping aside."Please welcome the Executive Chairman of Apex Corporation."Another figure walked into the room.Aurora's smile disappeared.Her eyes widened.Helen's mouth fell open."No..." she whispered.Dominic.He wore a perfectly tailored black suit that fit him like it had been made for him alone. His polished shoes reflected the lights above, and a silver ring engraved with a crescent moon rested on his finger. The timid, exh

    The first rays of dawn crept over the Pierce Estate, painting the mountain peaks in shades of gold.Dominic had not slept.He stood on the balcony outside his old bedroom, staring at the city below. Five years ago, he had walked away from unimaginable wealth to prove he could build a life through love instead of power.Now he understood.Love without respect became chains.A knock sounded on the door."Come in."Charles entered with a tailored black suit draped over one arm."Your clothes, Young Master."Dominic looked at the expensive suit before smiling faintly."I almost forgot what it feels like to wear something that actually fits."Charles smiled."You never forgot who you were. You simply chose to hide it."After changing, Dominic walked downstairs to the grand dining hall.Alpha Augustus Pierce was already waiting with several Pack Elders and executives from Apex Corporation.The atmosphere turned respectful the moment Dominic entered.Every person stood."Good morning, Young

    Dominic sat motionless behind the steering wheel.The city lights of Los Angeles blurred through the windshield as Charles' words echoed in his mind."Your time among ordinary people has come to an end."For five years, he had lived as Dominic Hart.A struggling rideshare driver.A mocked son-in-law.A husband who endured insults for the sake of the woman he loved.But before all of that...He had been Dominic Orion Pierce, the sole heir of the Crescent Moon Pack."Young Master?" Charles' voice came through the phone again."I'm here," Dominic answered quietly."Your grandfather requests that you return tonight."Dominic closed his eyes."I'll be there.""We'll send a car.""No."Dominic glanced at the worn steering wheel of the vehicle he drove every day."I'll come on my own.""As you wish, Young Master."The call ended.Dominic looked at the passenger seat where Carl had once fallen asleep after insisting on riding with him during a weekend shift.A faint smile crossed his face."I

Both dudes sat down. Ben Marco was a man in his sixties but he had no less regard for Dominic cause of his rank.He was one of those who got Dominic asking if he was truly the one all these regards were sent to, a dude that was beaten down by his own mate cause he was broke.“My bad sir, I mean no issue.” The helper who was behind him said quietly.“I think I can go back to my work spot as told?”“By who?” Dominic snapped, asking which staff would be above him.“By Mr Orion.”“Oh!” He figured it was a staff that had this tell.“He told me to show you off here and then go back to keep doing the jobs he gave me.” Mr Dominic said more.“You can go,” he waved his hand.
