Confession
Barry was still lounging like he owned the entire place—calm, collected, and sipping from the poisoned glass like it was the sweetest thing he had ever tasted.When Cleopatra returned, her smile was tight and forced."You're enjoying the wine, I see," she said sweetly as she slipped into the seat beside him."This is quite the vintage," Barry remarked casually, swirling his own glass before taking another sip. "I think I'll take several cases back with me. My associates would appreciate such a... unique flavor.""Of course," Cleopatra replied automatically, her voice hollow. Her mind raced - how had he survived? She had perfected this poison over decades. Cleopatra was known in certain circles as The Widowmaker for a reason.For Barry Sullivan to be sipping her poison like water...She was beginning to feel afraid."About your reality show proposal," he continued, setting down his glass. "I’ve considered your request. I’ll get back to you after I run it by my board.""Take all the t
Cleopatra Monroe
As the last of the guests departed in their yachts and helicopters, only a select few remained.They were those deemed worthy of the real gathering. Celine, Cleopatra’s daughter, reappeared at Barry’s side, her eyes bright."The after-party is starting. If you'll come with me. I'll show you my mother," she murmured, her fingers brushing his wrist before leading him toward a hidden elevator disguised as a marble pillar. The doors slid open, and they descended deep below the island. The air grew thick with the scent of opium, cigar smoke, and expensive perfume. The sound of moans, laughter, and clinking glasses echoed off the stone walls as they stepped into an underground cavern. Strippers draped in jewels swayed on polished stages. Barry saw some people going around naked, and powerful men smoking from hookahs. There were private rooms lined inside the cavern, their doors slightly ajar, revealing glimpses of sin in motion. Barry decided it was a bad idea to come here after
The All White Party
Barry's private black helicopter descended gracefully onto the helipad atop Cleopatra Monroe's $10 million villa.The private island was a paradise of white sand and swaying palms.The door slid open, and Barry stepped out, donning on a tailored white suit. His dark glasses shielded his eyes.Waiting for him at the landing pad was Cleopatra’s daughter.She was a stunning young woman with a beaming smile and far too much confidence for someone her age.This girl was tall, radiant with golden skin. She wore a skimpy white dress that barely clung to her body. The deep V-cut neckline left little to the imagination as it plunged dangerously low. She was revealing more skin than Barry was comfortable with.Her lips curled into a knowing smile as she approached him, hips swaying. "Barry Sullivan," she purred, her voice like honey. "We’ve been expecting you." Barry gave a polite nod but kept his gaze fixed just above her shoulder, refusing to let his eyes wander where she clearly wanted
The Order's secret meeting
In a hidden chamber somewhere, the most powerful figures in the world gathered together for a meeting. They were The Order.They all sat on the twelve seats, shaped like thrones circled around a black round table. Each member wore an animal mask to hide his or her identity.At the center of the table, a gaunt man in an ash-grey robe spoke first. "Brothers, I believe we all know why we are gathered here tonight. We are here to discuss about Barry Sullivan."A still silence passed before he continued. "We should never have allowed Barry to rise. He wasn't meant to go this far. Now, he stands above us all. He controls the flow of money and all the resources in this world. He has made us obsolete." Murmurs flared across the table.Another man wearing the mask of a Rhino slammed a fist on the table. "He owns more money than history itself. His empire is too vast: Banking. AI. Real estate. Weapons. Currency. He even controls gold."A woman with a Fox mask leaned forward, her small finge
Good news, bad news
At a quiet intersection in the city, Sebastian stood at a red light. The night was calm—almost too calm—until the air turned unnaturally cold. A thin mist crept in from the corners of the street. Without turning, Sebastian already knew who it was.A voice, smooth like oil and sharp as glass, broke the silence. “You’re out late, Sebastian.”Sebastian smirked. "I see your client has revoked his deal, Malphas," he said casually.There was a flick of a lighter, and the faint scent of sulfur filled the air. Malphas exhaled a plume of smoke, his grin stretched impossibly wide as he leaned against a lamppost."Spineless idiot," Malphas sneered, smoke curling from his nostrils. "Thought he could get everything he wanted without paying the price. I’ve prepared a special place for him in hell. He's enjoying himself."Sebastian let out a quiet exhale. "You never change," he remarked.Malphas tapped ash off his cigarette, his gaze sliding to Sebastian. "I'll admit, I'm intrigued by your master
Revoked contract
Because Xavier hadn't built his new founded wealth himself, he now had to run an empire. And running an empire was no child's play: Meetings stacked upon meetings. Contracts demanded his signature. Demands from global stakeholders—it was too much. Trillions of dollars were flowing in and out of his accounts like waves crashing against a fragile boat. However, Xavier had never handled anything like it. He wasn’t trained for this level of wealth. Every day brought a new challenge, a new crisis, a new empire-threatening decision that he couldn't afford to get wrong.His inbox flooded with thousands of emails daily. His phone never stopped ringing. Before Xavier knew it, he had stopped sleeping. Meals were only eaten late at night. His office lights never went off.At first, he hired the best workers to handle the excess load but it was never enough. That wasn't the worse part.Whenever he tried to shut his eyes to sleep, the demon would appears beside his bed, barking orders wi
