CH ~ 00105 MR WILSON
Byron leaned against the balcony rail, the cigarette burning low between his fingers. Smoke curled into the night, but it wasn’t the skyline that caught his attention. A stir broke out below—guards at the hotel entrance grappling with someone. He squinted through the haze.Below, near the entrance, a small scene was unfolding — two guards barring the path of a woman. She pushed back, not with violence, but with a desperate, elegant persistence that drew eyes even in the chaos.Byron stubbed his cigar out and stepped closer to the rail. The moment his gaze fell on her, he froze.Her beauty carved her out from the noise around her— a face sculpted in soft symmetry, high cheekbones glowing pale under the hotel lights, eyes wide and pleading yet sharp with quiet strength. Her hair spilled in waves, golden brown catching the amber lamps, strands falling loose as she struggled against the guards. The tension only sharpened her allure: lips flushed, chest rising and falling with restrained

Byron kept his hands on his coffee cup. He let the cup warm his palms so that his fingers stopped trembling. He would not show the creep that ran along his spine. He would not let this man see the way his throat tightened when he leaned forward, close enough that the light slid off the bald crown like a polished blade.“Now that we’re allies,” Byron said, slow and deliberate, “can I trust you?” Truthfully, he didn't have the full details on why this man wanted his nephew dead, matter of fact, he doesn't care. All he knows is that they want the same thing. An Enemy to his enemy is his friend.A faint smile ghosted across Fibonacci’s mouth — not a kindness, more a math problem solved. “Trust is a resource,” he said. “It’s not given. It’s earned, traded, spent. I don’t ask for blind loyalties, Mr. Wilson. I ask for clarity.”Byron heard the edges of the word like a promise, clarity that could slice both ways. He nodded. “Then let’s be precise.”Fibonacci leaned back, folding his hands. “
CH ~ 00103 WE WILL EXPLOIT
After taking Ashanti back home, Dexter drove back to The Wilson's residence, but this time, he parked his car not too far from their gate and remained in his seat. He had a face cap on as he glared occasionally at the building as though waiting on something.He wasn't sure, but he had a hunch his uncle was up to something. Of course, he wouldn't ask for their shares if he didn't have an alternative.Seconds turned into minutes and minutes turned into hours but not a single soul stepped out of the building.Dexter yawned and looked at his watch. He had been here for 4 and half hours and it doesn't seem like his hunch was right.Slowly, he took his cap off, brought out his keys.. but before starting the car, Dexter heard the gate pushing open. By the time he raised his head, a black car was driving out of the gate. It zoomed past his car before he could even see who was driving.He looked over his shoulder to see the car was almost out of his sight because of how fast the driver was. Wi
CH ~ 00102 GRIEVING OR CELEBRATING
Ashanti stepped out of the car and held hands with Dexter as they approached the garden, where the Wilson's were gathered.“You don't have to be here if you don't want to.” Dexter smiled, “He's my uncle. I can't avoid him forever.” Truthfully, he didn't come here for dinner or because he wanted to acknowledge his uncle's invitation. To him, it was better to act oblivious and get what you want than act defensive. Someone has to act dumb to get what they want. And he knows just who he came here for.Dexter placed his hands over her shoulder, “Lets go.”When they arrived, aunt Rosa leaned forward and gave Ashanti a hug before urging her to sit.“Thank you all for coming in on such short notice.” Byron said and they all took their seats.“Don't mention it. Of course we should come,” Scott remarks.“Having you all gathered here brings back memories. If only my father could be here. I'm sure he's in heaven,” Rosa chimes in.“Now that I've taken his position, I keep thinking about him. You

She took a step back, her heart thumping hard against her chest but unfortunately, the space was too small, she couldn't walk further away from him as her back was now behind the wall and he was standing an inch close to her. “I.. I don't know what you're talking about.” Byron gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with cold fire. He grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her close, “If you act dumb in front of me, I'll work on your brain while you're conscious. Now tell me.. what did you mean by that?” Tears welled up in Eleanor's eyes as Byron's grip on her swollen wrist tightened. His hold was too tight, blood trickled out. She whimpered, “Honey, you're hurting me..” “I'll make it worse if..” “I was talking about his friends,” She cries out, “..please, let go.. it hurts.” Byron acted oblivious to the blood dropping on the floor, “Friends? Ethan never had friends. They knew he was crazy and would hurt himself. So tell me… which friends?” He snapped. “The bad gangs he joined r
