The air was heavy with the scent of fresh flowers and expensive perfumes as the hum of conversation and the clinking of champagne glasses. Guests in sharp suits and sparkling gowns mingled, their voices rising in unison as laughter filled the grand hall.

The guests gathered in the sprawling living room of Mr. Zack Sinclair, where a piano sat elegantly in the corner. Its key is occasionally graced by the fingers of an accomplished musician.

The waiters dressed in black suits weaved through the crowd with trays of fine wine. The music was light, creating an atmosphere of grandeur without shadowing the lively conversations.

Asher sat at the side, dressed in an impeccably tailored suit, with a Patek Philippe Grandmaster chime. His presence got the attention of everyone around, who were wondering who the young man was and where he was from.

He was unbothered by the eye staring at him; People couldn’t stop admiring how he looked.

Meanwhile, Emily stood near the centre of the room; she was

  • Chapter 89 - The Trip For The Diamonds

    That morning, while leaving, Asher never bothered informing Mason or anyone about where he was going. He stepped out without his car, going to the gate entrance, where he saw a Black Range Rover parked outside.He thought it was Don Francisco’s men, but was met with a familiar face, Vandy.Asher’s brow furrowed in surprise to see him waiting for him. Vandy walked towards Asher and tilted his head in respect, “Mr. Mancini,” he called out with a low tone. “I am worried, About you. I heard you met with Don Francisco the other day; he is planning on taking you on an unknown adventure; I can talk with Francisco, and he will listen to me. You don’t need to take such a risk if you don’t want to.”Asher looked at him for a moment; at first, he was surprised that Vandy knew about it, but at some point, he remembered the man’s occupation, and it was possible for him to have spies among Francisco’s men.He nodded indifferently before he responded, “Yes, Vandy. You don’t have to talk to anyone o

  • Chapter 88 - Atlantis of the Sands

    Don Francisco leaned on the table, both hands pressing into the polished wood as he stared directly into Asher’s eyes.“I’ll get to the point,” he said. “I don’t care about the artefacts, the gold trinkets, the ruins, or the traps on that map.”His voice dropped lower, becoming more intense.“I want the diamond.”Asher remained motionless. “There are several marked zones. Many could be vaults.”Don Francisco chuckled. “You have studied the map. Don’t insult me. You know exactly where the diamond is hidden.” Asher’s lips twitched into a faint smile. “If I did, I wouldn’t be here. I would have gone for it a long time, who wouldn’t want to be rich.”Francisco’s face turned from plain to dark; his smile faded as he stared coldly at Asher.“Don’t lie to me, you wouldn’t have gotten the map if you didn’t know what it contained. Stewart, is that true.”“Yes, boss.” He replied nodding in agreement..“That’s why I need you,” Don Francisco said, his voice returning to its earlier rhythm. “You’

  • Chapter 87 - Single Oak Table

    Asher followed without a word, walking in silence through the garden path that led to a three-story mansion at the centre of the estate. The structure was modern—glass panels, minimalist stone, and a shimmering black door.Inside, the house was bizarrely empty. No furniture, no paintings, not even dust. Just polished floors and silence, save for the echo of their footsteps.They led him to a dining room.There, in the centre of the hollow beauty, sat a single oak table. Heavy. Old. Ornate.A fat man lounged in one of the chairs, a wide grin stretching across his greasy face. He wore a white shirt so tight the buttons strained against his belly. His gold chain glinted with every movement.To his right stood a familiar face, Stewart. Asher frowned when he spotted Stewart, the same man from the timeless treasure gallery. The same man from the antique house.The same man who had once been warned violently to stay away from Asher by Vandy. Now here he was, looking smug and untouchable.D

  • Chapter 86 - Giveaway Was On Their Necks

    Asher paused for a moment, whoever it was that just called him knew something that he didn’t. He had spent weeks looking for Isabella but someone else had her in custody.His face turned red when he thought about what the unknown figure demanded in exchange for her. The map!But how did he know he had the map, and who could be the person on the other end?After a long pause, he stepped forward only to find Emily standing before him with a stoic expression. Her arms crossed below her chest.“Emily, not now. I am not in the mood for whatever you have to say.” He said while trying to think through his situation at hand.“Asher, I want to know the truth?”He furrowed, “What truth?”“Did you, by any chance go into the vice chairman’s office while everyone was away?” Asher was caught off guard by her question, he shifted slightly. “When and why?” “Stop acting like you don’t know what I am talking about.”“Because I don’t know, Emily. Why accuse me of something I don’t know? Is this anot

  • Chapter 85 - In Exchange For The Map

    “Henry, I want to appreciate what you did for my family. You are such a generous man. I thought I wasn’t going to be inside.” Henry nodded with a smile, he waved his hand frantically. “It’s nothing,” “Ladies and gentlemen,” Sandra said, warmly smiling as she adjusted the microphone the moment she took to the stage, the guest’s eyes occasionally flicked towards the stage. The hum of conversation settled into a hush, the lights dimmed slightly as all eyes turned to the stage. “It’s my honour to welcome you once again to the blue beam construction 43rd anniversary celebration.” She began, “Today, we celebrate not just the passing of time, but the legacy, innovation and determination that has defined this company over the last decades.” A light applause followed, murmurs rippled through the crowd, and they nodded slowly. Many had their eyes on the stage, hoping to find the chairman. She continued after a slight pause, “Today marks incredible milestones, a year of building dre

  • Chapter 84 - I Know Who I Saw

    Jeremy’s fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard, he pulled up the feed from the hallway camera stationed outside the vice chairman’s office.“There,” Emily said, but her eyes were wide in disbelief when what she saw was different. She leaned forward squinting. Everything felt strange at that moment.The man who emerged from the vice chairman’s office was Mark Spencer; the camera caught him clearly leaving and turning left just like Asher did.Emily’s breath hitched, as her mind raced.“Is that who you saw?” Sandra asked with her brow raised higher than the other.“No..no. I know who I saw.” She shook her head slowly.Jeremy had to zoom in slowly, “That’s Mr Mark; we all know he walks into the vice chairman’s office regularly. This is no big deal.”“He didn’t even look like him, I know who I saw. It was my ex-husband, Asher,” she said with her voice barely above a whisper.“Your what?” Sandra asked.Emily exhaled softly, she asked Jeremy to go back again. This time, insisting that he
