Meanwhile, the Schwarzengers was rolling smoothly through the city in a convoy of blacked-out Limousines, silent and imposing as a funeral procession.

Inside the middle Limousine vehicle, the silence was broken only by the soft hum of the climate control. Elijah Schwarzenger leaned back against the plush leather, the ghost of a cruel smile playing on his lips. The performance at Xian Mirage was over, and now his business with Aaron continued.

“Bartholomew,” Elijah said, his voice a low, calm command that cut through the quiet. “Get Maestro on the line. Let’s hear his side of things. I want an update on the estate.”

Bartholomew, seated in the front passenger seat, nodded. “Right away, my lord.” He reached for the sophisticated SCHWARXX communication device mounted on the dashboard, his finger poised to activate the encrypted line.

Before he could make the connection, a distinct, melodic ringtone that starked contrast to the car's oppressive atmosphere chimed from Elijah’s personal

    The Aviatux Luxury Manor guests' dining hall was a sight of pure elegance. A grand chandelier bathed the room in golden light, reflecting off the polished marble floor. Towering black-and-gold columns lined the walls, while deep crimson drapes framed massive windows overlooking the glowing gardens. The air carried the soft hum of Aveston's orchestral music, blending with murmured conversations. A semi-circular dining table stretched across the hall, draped in fine silk and set with gold-rimmed plates and handcrafted glassware that had the diagram of two intertwined bracelets, the crest of the Aviatux family. The scent of gourmet dishes filled the air as business moguls, officials, and dignitaries sat in quiet discussions. Among them were Damien Aviatux’s most trusted staff and guards, their eyes sharp and watchful. At the center of the open space stood a sleek podium, waiting for the Master of Ceremony to begin the night’s events. "Esteemed business ladies and businessmen of Av

    "What's that?" Eddie glanced at him questioningly. "Stop beating yourself up over her. She’s not worth it. Focus on what’s ahead, man. You’ve got too much potential to waste it on someone who didn’t appreciate you." Eddie let out a heavy sigh, feeling a small flicker of hope stir within him. "Thanks, Phil," he said, his voice steadier this time. "Thanks for always being there for me, I hope I will have the power to also be there for you in the nearest future." "That’s what I’m here for, Now, let’s get some sleep. Tomorrow’s another lecture day," Phil replied with a grin as he beat Eddie's chest playfully, "and remember, Mrs Patricia, the vice chancellor herself promised your departments an ‘early in the morning’ session. You don’t want to be late." As Phil settled into his bed, Eddie lay awake for a while longer, Phil’s words echoing in his mind before sleep finally shut his eyes. The next morning, Eddie woke to find Phil not around, but he paid it little mind. Their sc

    Elijah leaned lazily against the polished mahogany counter, phone in hand as his thumbs glided across the glowing screen. The salesgirl’s cheap vanilla perfume tried to mask the exhaustion that clung faintly to the air while his detached reflection shimmered in the glass countertop. The double glass doors separating the waiting room and the main boutique parted, and Bartholomew strode in with measured confidence. Behind him, two guards pushed chrome trolleys piled high with garment bags and boxes, the branded luxury logos shouting money. "My lord," Bartholomew’s proud tone carried caution as he halted a few feet away. "Do you love these… or should we pick other ones?" Elijah slid his phone into his inner pocket and turned, his icing gaze flying to the trolleys. "Hmmm. I can’t come all the way from San Dicevey to the capital just for scraps. The most important thing is Naomi. Did you get a gown? Exactly her size and beautiful enough for her that she will love?" Bartholomew’s lips

    "Clink" The sound of glass cups clinking echoed in Pierce's sparsely decorated yet spacious dining room as he and Natasha enjoyed an expensive Italian dish; the white alba truffle. "Com,on now," Natasha complained, not impressed by how Pierce was treating the meal in front of him. He had barely touched the exquisite food, instead draining his wine glass with a grim focus that spoke of anything but enjoyment. Reluctantly, Pierce dropped his wine cup and raised his head tiredly, their faces meeting. "What?" He mumbled, dragging the word. "What do you mean, 'what'?" Natasha shot back, her voice laced with exasperation. "You've not touched your food a bit. You're just finishing wine bottles like you've been depressed or something since I got back. What is wrong with you?" Pierce let out a low, humorless laugh and immediately reached for the bottle, pouring the dark red liquid into his glass until it nearly overflowed. He stared into the swirling wine, his words slurring slightly. "Do
