Adam and Stacey were led through the dimly lit, smoky interior of the bar, past tables cluttered with illegal goods and men eyeing them with suspicion. The air smelled of cheap alcohol, sweat, and gun oil—this was Viper’s territory, and everything about it reeked of danger.

At the far end of the bar, a door opened into a private pool room, illuminated by low, neon-blue lights. Viper lounged in the shallow end of the pool, two beautiful women clinging to his arms, their bodies draped in skimpy swimsuits. His devilish grin widened the moment Adam entered.

“Well, well… If it isn’t the supreme general himself,” Viper drawled, his voice slithering with malice. He waved a hand lazily, dismissing the two women, who slipped out of the pool with sultry looks and disappeared into the shadows. Viper leaned back on the pool’s edge, his tattooed chest glistening with water.

Stacey stood close to Adam, her hand casually resting on the hilt of her blade, eyes scanning the room for threats. Adam, as

    Ava stood there, speechless, her knuckles white against her portfolio. The silence seemed oppressive, a physical pressure closing in on her from all directions.Suddenly, Carson interrupted with a dramatic sigh. “Exactly! Run along now, Ava… and stop making a fool of yourself in front of everyone.”He crossed his arms smugly and nodded toward the door. “Your little show is over.”Ava pressed her lips together, trying not to let her embarrassment show. She turned on her heels without a word and walked away briskly, ignoring the piercing gazes and the sneers from the few people who remained.As soon as Ava was gone, Secretary Chen addressed Carson in a voice dripping with confidence. “This way, Mr. Carson.”She turned gracefully and walked toward a small table near the back of the hall. The table was set with two leather-upholstered seats — intimate, private, meant just for the two of them.Carson followed close behind, nearly tripping over himself in his rush. His pulse was already rac

    Carson crossed his arms smugly. “See, Ava… I told you. Langtech was barely qualified to make a bid after that 10 million investment we scraped together. Did you really think you could compete in a battle of scale and resources?”He let out a short, icy laugh. “Or do you think you can use your body again… now that the Dragon Group has a new chairman?”Ava tightened her grip on her portfolio, knuckles turning white beneath her neatly polished nails. “Watch your mouth, Carson.”She was about to say more when a clear voice cut through their rivalry.“Hello everyone.”It was Secretary Chen. She walked up to the stage gracefully, exuding confidence in a tailored black suit.“I’m Chen Priscilla, secretary to the chairman of the Dragon Group.”Carson fell silent immediately. His jaw nearly fell to the floor as he whispered under his breath, “What the heck… the new chairman has such a beautiful woman as his secretary? He really knows how to enjoy life.”A few men nodded in agreement; some whis

    The meeting was dismissed as everyone left.That same afternoon at the Dragon Company.Adam was seen in a seat, his legs crossed, as a lady walked in. It was Secretary Chen. She walked in with a file, which she dropped on the table in front of him.Adam nodded, unfazed. “So the bidding for the contract will start in the next 30 minutes.”Chen nodded, agreeing quietly. Then she pressed forward, choosing her words carefully. “I… I know it’s not my place to question you, Mr. Adam, but… you already control Bulgart Industries — the largest in the world. Why this interest in Langtech’s future? Why put yourself in the middle of their struggles?“It’s not like you need their profits.”Adam remained silent for a moment, his knuckles resting against his chin in deep thought. “Ava… Ava's story is a mirror of Tessa’s. I know what it feels like to be powerless. To be forced into a corner by people you thought were meant to be family.” His tone dipped just a little — a rare softness beneath all the

    Adam remained silent at first — his jaw tightened, a spark of disbelief creeping into his normally composed demeanor. His hands, crossed in front of him, pressed together just a little tighter, knuckles growing white beneath his tailored black gloves.Ava pressed her lips together, trying to keep her voice from faltering under the pressure. “Grandmother… please… tell me… Why?”Her words fell into a piercing silence. The room seemed to tremble under the weight of her question — all eyes darted back and forth between Ava and Christie.Ava pressed on, her confidence faltering just a bit but not entirely gone. “LangTech isn’t going bankrupt… we’re going through a tough quarter, sure, but we’re far from finished. Furthermore… my father… my father built LangTech with his own two hands… without the Langston’s wealth… without anyone else's help.”Christie remained icy and immovable, piercing Ava with a piercing stare. “Your father… is a Langston… whether you wish it or not.”Ava fell silent.

    The room fell into a chorus of hushed sneers and gossip once more. Isabella crossed her arms, a mischievous glimmer creeping into her piercing green eyes. “Did you see how Ava tried to justify it?” she said quietly to Carson, a dramatic sigh escaping her lips. “Bringing a mere driver into our board meeting… It’s humiliating for the Langston name.”Carson nodded, clicking his pen against the conference table in agitation. “Exactly. It shows weakness. It shows poor judgment. She shouldn’t be sitting in that seat.”Isabella pressed her advantage, dropping her voice even lower. “Don’t you find it strange how protective she is of him, though?”Carson raised an eyebrow, suspicion creeping into his tone. “Protective… or… something more?”Before their gossip could spiral further, the massive wooden doors at the back of the room opened. Everyone fell silent and stood up in a rush — a chorus of “Good morning, Grandmother Christie” filled the space.Christie Langston entered gracefully, wearing

    The next morning came quickly — the day of the Langston Empire’s board meeting.Adam pressed his foot on the brake, and the black sedan came to a smooth halt in front of Langston Tower. The sleek, shimmering skyscraper seemed taller today, more intimidating — a castle made of glass and steel.Ava opened the rear door and stepped out gracefully, smoothing her tailored suit and lifting her chin. She turned back toward the car and said quietly, “Okay… you can wait for me here. the meeting would probably take two hours.”Adam remained sitting, hands on the steering wheel. “I’m going in with you.”Ava pressed her lips together in a tight line. “You can’t. The board meeting is for members only.”Adam sighed, opened his door, and walked around to her side. His expression remained firm, unfazed by her resistance. “I’m not here as a guest. I’m here as your security. That’s the job I signed up for — protecting you, wherever you go.”Ava crossed her arms. “This isn’t a nightclub. It’s a closed m
