Dickson arrives timely at the Global Resort, an hotel in the outskirts of Montreal. The Global Resort was always noted for its grandeur and high-standing reputation, a classic and outstanding hotel in the city of California.

Dickson stopped his Vespa bike at the parking garage, jumped down, and pulled off his helmet. Drops of sweat rushing down his face, as though hurrying to kiss his lips; he wiped them off with his fingers.

"Hey man, De Robert Deliveries," he said, pointing out his card to the security guard who posed at the gate.

"Go towards that entrance; you'll find the receptionist table right in front," the security said, directing Dickson to the inner room.

"Thanks, man," Dickson replied with a smile as he walked into the spacious room.

"Delivery package to be delivered in person, no payment made," Dickson said, his brows raised as he talked to the lady who sat at the receptionist table.

"Room 064, sir. Please take this way up," she said, pointing lazily to the hallway.

  • CHAPTER 48

    The silence in the mansion was deceptive, a quiet that masked the brewing storm. The golden chandelier above the grand living room flickered slightly, as if mimicking the volatile tension that clung to the air. Mr. Spark paced the room like a caged lion, his sharp eyes darting toward the grand staircase where Romsey had disappeared earlier. His phone sat on the polished mahogany table, still vibrating from the heated conversation with Senator Stout. The words still echoed in his mind—betrayal, disgrace, withdrawal.He ran a hand over his graying beard, nostrils flaring as his mind replayed the events. His empire, built on carefully crafted alliances and unshakable influence, had just suffered a dent, all because of her.Felicia, his fingers clenched into a fist. He had told her before—know when to act, when to retreat. A woman in power should wield influence subtly, not like a reckless thug on the streets.Eleanor watched her father from the far end of the room, her piercing gaze asse

  • CHAPTER 47: BACK TO THE HOLE.

    The pristine store, a fast growing warehouse, had all the dynasty items which were brought by top ranking researchers. Items in his warehouse were highly prized for their exquisite craftsmanship and historical significance, just like the Qianlong dynasty vase, other costly dynastic items costing millions of dollars each lined the writeups. "This can't be!! She flared up, throwing the paper back at Mr. Jumbo. " Do you think you can fool me or something? How on earth would only a vase worth a whopping $9 million?" She wailed, her lips curved as she screamed. "I wouldn't be in the rightful place to argue with you, ma," Mr. Jumbo exclaimed in anger. The policemen picking up the cost booklet widened his eyes, she couldn't believe that 50 items destroyed from a warehouse would amount to all of that, he walked up to mr. Jumbo with a calm gaze. "We will have to make investigations into this" He pleaded with a friendly tone trying to ease the pain in his eyes but then Mrs. Felic

  • CHAPTER 46: TROUBLED WATERS

    Romsey was shocked. This wasn't what he expected, as she started to protest, her eyes widening "and where the hell is my daughter?" She screamed. All pleas from onlookers fell at deaf ears.Two minutes later Romsey found another way, looked down, what was her demand afterall? That he'll buy and replace the smashed car as well pay for her hospital bills" he was beyond that, but he needed to prove himself to her first."I apologise for all inconveniences, Ma" Romsey pleaded, his voice low, as the shop owner screamed from the other side."You'll have to fix up everything she has ruined here" Robson, bewildered by the shock of the moment, only stood in awe, his jaw dropped as words and whispers mixed in the air, all piercing through his ears. Romsey clears his throat "he was better off than this, only if his father had known but all the same, he wasn't going to call him into it""I'll bet you, ma, that this ain't a thing to yell and cause a scene" he turned to the woman who was still rai

  • CHAPTER 45: CASUALTY WITH THE YOUNG MASTER.

    In a minute, Romsey receives a call, his ringtone blaring in the room. He turns with a sharp glance at the caller, but it seems like a strange number. Reluctantly, he picks up the call, but a male voice is heard over the noisy backdrop."You'll have to hurry down here, immediately. You're the last person this party conversed with!" The voice blares over the phone, and in seconds, it goes off.With trembling hands, he fumbles for his keys, his fingers slipping against the cold metal in his haste. The urgency in the air is palpable now, a sense of impending doom hanging heavy over him like a dark cloud. He can't shake the feeling that something terrible has happened."I'll have to excuse you for now," he says to Natt, who's staring at him. He mumbles a reply."Who was that? Some mummy's call to have you home, hmm?" Natt's brows raise.But then Romsey hurries towards the door, trouble setting in as he tries to track the caller's location, his fingers tapping on the phone hastily.Natt, b

  • CHAPTER 44: A TRAIL OF HUMILIATION FOR THE YOUNG MASTER

    It was getting late and Robson was still on the road, evening descended upon Sen. Valerie's Crescent, a sense of intrigue hung in the air like a thick fog. Romsey, with his trusted ally Robson by his side, approached the imposing steel gate, its sleek surface glinting in the dim light."The gate code, Boss," Robson's voice broke through the silence. "Flash the headlight five times," Romsey replied, his voice steady and calm. The compound seemed to come alive as everything was made of artificial intelligence robots, the guards were few compared to those at the Spear's mansion.Rob parking in the designated area, Romsey's eyes scanned the scene before him. The Visitor's car park resembled a showroom, with rows of luxurious vehicles standing like silent sentinels. The compound seemed to have the same German-made car, no doubt it was said that the Stout family was known for their BMW heritage. Different models and series of the same car filled the car parks, each looking more sophistic

  • CHAPTER 43: ON THE ROAD TO IT.

    In some minutes Ellen arrives at the mansion, her expression looked sullen and different, maybe because of the experience she had encountered with the so-named Prince, the charming Prince in Aurelia's life. Robson stepped out just at that moment with a glance on his face, he took off the dark pair of glasses he wore and slipped them into the pockets of his shorts as he approached her. "Hey Ellen" he laughed a bit as he walked closer. "You're back already?" He piped, hugging her warmly, a brief clapse of their bodies. Ellen barely allowed her sides meet his before she backed away. She was looking a bit different from the normal as she tipped without shoes.Robson turned to notice it, his eyes fixed in confusion, staring at her as he walked, the dress she wore seemed to be molded to complement her curves. He shook off the feeling that rang in his mind but then turned to follow her. "Excuse me, Ellen, how did it go?" He asked. "Not as planned, Rob" Ellen replied. "I thought it be
