2024-12-26 15:00:43Meanwhile, Governor Darrus, Seraphina, and Dominic returned to the Hayes family residence.
The Lieutenant Governor, Avo, with his arrogant demeanor, had ruined the welcome dinner for Dominic, turning what should have been a warm occasion into a tense one.
Nevertheless, a spirit of optimism remained among them.
They were confident that Dominic would successfully take control of Morow State.
Their plans were solid, alliances firmly established, leaving no room for Max to turn the tables.
Max had already lost, and Dominic’s vision as the new leader of Morow State was becoming more tangible with each passing moment.
Darrus sat relaxed in the spacious living room.
Thoughts of the future began to fill his mind.
He felt proud of how his family had forged strong ties with Dominic’s influential family in the capital.
With these connections, Darrus envisioned a bright future ahead-opportunities for promotion, greater wealth, and an elevated social status.
He even imagined one day moving to the capital to further his promising political career.
All of it felt so close, just a few steps away.
Meanwhile, Dominic sat across the table, speaking confidently.
“It will only take me a year to manage Morow State better,” he declared, his eyes gleaming with ambition.
“The state’s GDP will soar to $30 trillion. I will bring about significant change.”
Dominic seemed as though he had meticulously planned everything.
Darrus felt assured that with Dominic in control, their future would proceed as planned, perhaps even faster than expected.
With a faint smile, Darrus responded.
“You’re absolutely right, Dominic,” he said, his voice filled with conviction.
“With your capabilities, I believe Morow State will develop much faster than anyone could imagine.”
Dominic turned to Darrus, his eyes bright with confidence.
“There’s no doubt about it. We’re here to support you, Dominic,” Darrus continued.
“Our families have long built a strong bond, and I’m confident that with the political power we’ve established together, we’ll dominate everything.”
“Morow State, the capital-everything will be under our control in no time.”
Seraphina, listening to the conversation, smiled contentedly, fully supporting her father’s words.
After their serious discussion about Morow State’s future, the atmosphere began to ease.
Darrus enjoyed a cup of tea while Seraphina and Dominic sat across from each other on the sofa, conversing in a more relaxed tone.
With a playful smile, Seraphina began to tease.
“Dominic,” she said softly.
"You know, I never let that lowlife Max kiss or fuck me," she added with a sly grin.
Dominic’s eyes lit up immediately, responding to her teasing with a gaze full of desire.
He chuckled lightly, a smug smile forming on his face.
“Of course. I knew he would never be worthy of you. No one compares to me.”
Seraphina laughed softly, enjoying her flirtation.
She knew exactly how to captivate Dominic and command his full attention.
“Of course. No one could ever compare to you,” she replied, looking at him with a gaze full of admiration.
Darrus, sitting quietly in a nearby chair, merely smiled.
His expression showed understanding, as if he was fully aware of what was unfolding between Seraphina and Dominic.
He didn’t want to interrupt them.
Instead, he felt relieved seeing their relationship develop.
Darrus knew that their feelings for each other would bring benefits to their family, and for him, that was more important than anything else.
“Perhaps I’ll head to my room.”
Darrus finally said, hinting it was time for him to leave and give them some space.
He stood up, leaving them with a knowing look, as if giving his blessing for their relationship to progress further.
Once Darrus was gone, the atmosphere in the room shifted.
It became more intimate!
Seraphina stood up, walking slowly toward Dominic with a mischievous gaze.
Without a word, Dominic pulled Seraphina into his arms, their bodies drawing closer.
Dominic’s hand gently stroked Seraphina’s hair, while Seraphina gazed at him with a passionate look.
“I want us to be closer, Dominic.”
She whispered, her voice filled with uncontrollable desire.
Seraphina took Dominic’s hand, leading him toward her luxurious private bathroom.
A large bathtub filled with warm, steaming water and overflowing bubbles awaited them, surrounded by aromatherapy candles exuding a gentle fragrance.
Of course, she had prepared all of this before.
As Dominic and Seraphina became increasingly lost in their intimacy, Dominic couldn’t resist mocking Max.
His face brimmed with arrogance, and his words flowed effortlessly.
“Imagine Max now, sitting in that prison cell,” he said with a light laugh.
“He must be wailing and crying, feeling so unfairly treated, while we’re having fun,” he continued.
Seraphina simply smiled, savoring every word Dominic uttered.
He carried on with even more confidence.
“Perhaps he’s still hoping, praying to get out, but that will never happen.”
However…
They had no idea that while they were caught up in their passion, Max’s situation in prison was completely different from what they imagined!

0260-THE END
One month had passed since that day. The state of Morrow had slowly transformed into a place that was almost unrecognizable compared to its past. Cities that were once filled with fear had come back to life with a new face. Streets that had once been controlled by criminal gangs were now crowded with families strolling peacefully, children playing, and tourists arriving without worry. All of this happened after Max was officially appointed as the War Commander of Morrow State. A month ago, his identity was finally revealed to the public. The entire state learned who the man was who had secretly destroyed the largest gangster network in the region. News about Max spread rapidly to every city, every district, and even to the smallest villages. No criminal organization dared to show itself anymore. Many had already been destroyed. The rest fled far away from Morrow State. Within a short time, security across the entire region improved drastically. Markets became lively again. Hotels

Seraphina immediately turned when she heard that voice. At the top of the stairs, Max stood casually. His hair was still slightly damp from the shower he had just finished. He wore a simple black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing the firm lines of his muscles. His gaze was cold, directed straight at the woman in the living room.For a moment, time seemed to stop for Seraphina.Then her face instantly brightened. “Max!”Without hesitation, she stepped forward. Her movements became graceful and seductive again—her hips swaying lightly. She stopped right in front of Max and smiled sweetly.“Yes,” she said softly. “I was released from prison… a week ago.”Her eyes sparkled. “Not just me. My father has been released too.”She tilted her head slightly, looking at Max’s face with deep feeling. But behind that smile, her mind was spinning quickly. She thought that Max had truly become even more handsome. It made her heart pound.Max was supposed to be hers. “Max…” he

Via quickly turned toward the stairs and immediately bowed slightly. “Miss Aurora—” Aurora descended calmly. She was wearing a simple cream house dress, her hair falling softly over her shoulders. Her face looked fresh. Her gaze swept across the living room—Via standing tense, Tsahik rigid and silent, and the unfamiliar woman sitting stiffly on the sofa with an expression of anger mixed with panic. “Miss Aurora,” Via said carefully, “she says that she is—” “I am Max’s fiancée!” Seraphina cut in sharply. Her voice echoed through the living room. She looked at Aurora with her chin lifted, trying to maintain her dignity even though her body still felt heavy. Then she turned to Tsahik in irritation. “Release me right now!” Aurora did not show even the slightest hint of surprise. No raised eyebrow, no held breath. Only calmness. Max had told her long ago. About the political engagement between families. About the old agreement he had never truly regarded as a bond of the heart.

Tsahik and Via looked at each other.“Mr. Max’s fiancée?” Via repeated, her eyebrows raised high.Tsahik looked at the woman with a cold gaze. “Sorry. Mr. Max already has a wife. They are married.”Seraphina did not look surprised. Her smile remained on her lips, thin and full of confidence. “I know.”Via blinked. “You know?”“Of course.” Seraphina’s voice sounded light, almost mocking. “But I am his legal fiancée. Our engagement was arranged long before that marriage happened.” She lifted her chin slightly. “Now, where is he? I want to meet my fiancé.”Tsahik did not like the way she said the word fiancé as if she had absolute rights.“Please wait outside,” Tsahik said flatly.But Seraphina had already stepped forward. Without permission and without hesitation, she pushed the small gate that was not fully closed and walked inside toward the main door.“Excuse me, Miss,” Via hurried after her, her voice turning anxious. “You are not allowed to enter freely.”Seraphina did not even tur

Aurora stepped closer and looked at Jale calmly. “Stand up,” she said gently but clearly.Jale flinched, then hurriedly rose to his feet. His face was still wet with tears, his eyes red and swollen. As soon as he stood, he immediately bowed deeply toward Aurora.“Thank you… thank you so much,” he said repeatedly, his voice trembling. “I will not forget your kindness. Never.”Tina stood up beside him. She also bowed respectfully, tears still streaming down her cheeks. “Thank you, Aurora. We truly owe you.”Aurora only nodded slowly. There was no arrogance on her face, nor any satisfaction. She looked tired, yet relieved.Without daring to say anything more, Jale and Tina turned and left the hall. Their steps were hurried, as if afraid that all of this was nothing more than a dream that could vanish at any moment. The grand doors of the hall closed behind them, and the event continued.The music started playing again, the guests began to move, but the atmosphere had changed forever.Lis

Max raised one hand, his palm open toward Jale and Tina. “Enough,” he said flatly. Max’s voice remained calm, controlled, like a king delivering a verdict, not an outburst of anger. “This is a lesson for you,” he continued. His gaze was sharp, pressing down without the need to raise his voice. “Envy toward another person’s success will only destroy yourselves.” Jale and Tina lowered their heads even further. “If you want to stand at the top. If you want to succeed,” Max said slowly, each word falling clearly, “work until your teeth are clenched from exhaustion. Build connections through ability, not hatred. Achieve success through effort, not through wrongdoing.” He paused briefly, letting his words sink in. “Never again try to destroy someone’s success just because you feel left behind,” he continued coldly. “Do you understand?” Jale nodded quickly, almost striking the floor with his forehead. “I understand, Mr. Max… I understand.” Tina nodded repeatedly as well, tears falli
