In the Great Pyramid Casino, Alejandro rushed into his office. “How did this happen?” He asked Miguel.“All the evidence was cleared before we got here, and we barely managed to put the fire down.” “What do you mean?” he asked confused“There was a fire and the CCTV footage was tampered with, we don't know who did it.” Miguel said furiously to Alejandro.“It must be Diego Morales, we need to find him and put an end to all of this.” Alejandro slammed his hands on the table. This whole issue was getting him infuriated. “You need to calm down bro, calm down,” Miguel said softly. “We need to sort this out, intelligently. First we need to know who sent you that warning earlier today.”Alejandro nodded his head.“We need to get in touch with whoever that person is. You have seen the person was really trying to help, right? What you have to do is text them back and wait for a response.”“How about the stranger from yesterday?” Alejandro asked Miguel.“I've ordered Jackson to look into it,

"Sophia, wait!" Alejandro called out to his wife.She stopped her car and rolled down the window, looking at her husband with angry eyes. Despite his good looks, Alejandro felt worthless to her because he was broke. “What do you want?”"Sophie, I thought you said you'd give me a ride today," he said, trying to catch his breath, but Sophia's reaction was harsh."Why would I bother with someone like you? You can't even afford a car. Take the bus, that's what poor people do," she spat before driving off, leaving Alejandro feeling hurt and rejected.He proceeded to walk to work, dressed neatly in uniform. He was handsome and attracted attention, but he only had eyes for his wife, Sophia, despite her disrespect."Hey there!" Someone called out, and Alejandro looked up to see a fancy car parked nearby. It was bright colored, and the driver, a woman wearing expensive diamond jewelry, smiled at him.She is Charlotte Roosevelt, the daughter of Mr. Roosevelt, a very wealthy businessman.She has

"This can't be happening," Alejandro whispered more to himself.His eyes welled up with tears as he thought about his wife. What would he tell her? What would he tell his family? They would mock him, as they always did.Alejandro made his way to his workstation, packing up his belongings. He had been loyal to his boss for years, ever since he graduated from school, and now he was being cast aside. He felt a surge of anger, not just at losing his job, but at his boss's lack of trust in him. He hadn't been given a chance to prove himself. But in the end, he was just another insignificant employee.Stuffing his designs into his bag, including the ones he had hoped to present to his boss, Alejandro felt a surge of bitterness. He glanced at the jewelry, especially the piece he had intended for Sophia, before angrily shoving them into his bag."Oh, leaving already? I can talk to your boss for you. You know what I want," Charlotte interjected, her voice cutting through his thoughts. Alejandr

The next day, Alejandro was ready for his interview. He was dressed neatly in one of Miguel's clothes. He arrived on time at the big company building, feeling excited about the opportunity.When he approached the receptionist, she gave him a sensual look.But he overlooked her. "I'm here for my interview," he said politely, offering a small smile.The receptionist hesitated but eventually allowed him inside. He waited for a while before being called in by another employee.“Good morning, sir.” Alejandro greeted the interviewer as he entered the room."Good morning. Please take a seat," the interviewer said and Alejandro sat down.Just then, Charlotte walked into the office, "Charles, is this your choice for the job? Big mistake," she said, addressing the interviewer."Do you know each other, Charlotte?" Charles asked."Yes, he's not suitable for the interview," Charlotte declared."But I..." Alejandro attempted to speak."Shut up. Get out now," Charlotte snapped at him."Please, sir.

That night, it was past twelve when he got back home.He told Miguel what happened, and how Charlotte ruined everything."Charlotte, again?” Miguel inquired. His eyebrows were raised."Yeah, she's been making my life miserable," Alejandro said and shook his head in disbelief.Miguel sighed, "That sounds terrible. What are you going to do now?"Alejandro shrugged. "I don't know. I feel lost," he admitted."You have to go back to Sophia," Miguel suggested to him.Alejandro hesitated, "What's the point? What if she doesn't want me back?""You won't know until you try," Miguel said and tried to reason with him. “You love her right?” Miguel asked and it spiked up passion in Alejandro, he moved from depressed to interested in a few seconds, turned to face his best friend.“She's my whole life, I can't live without her.” He admitted softly.“Then go to her.” That was the solution. And then Alejandro decided he was going to see Sophia, he just hoped he wouldn't regret it.Alejandro nodded slo

“I think I drank too much last night,” Alejandro groaned loudly as he slowly opened his eyes.He realized he wasn't in Miguel's apartment but in a luxurious room with fine decorations, including a chandelier and satin sheets.He checked his phone and saw numerous missed calls from Miguel. But before he could return the call, he noticed a credit notification— a billion dollars! He couldn't believe his eyes."Holy fuck!" Alejandro exclaimed in disbelief. He tried to piece together the memories from last night.He vividly remembered Sophia asking for a divorce. Then he remembered the lottery ticket with the number 369 and the billion-dollar prize written on the back.He had won the lottery!He excitedly rushed out of the hotel room and headed straight to find Miguel.Alejandro didn't walk to Miguel's, he ran. Everyone who saw him coming dodged to avoid getting knocked down by his speed.In a few minutes, he reached Miguel's place and barged in.“Miguel! Miguel, where are you?” He shouted

“Ale, look at our views!” Miguel burst out of the room into the sitting room and showed Alejandro his new phone. Alejandro, who was engrossed in reading the news and sipping coffee, took the device from his friend. They had nearly hit 100 million views, an astonishing number.“Wow! We're famous!” Alejandro exclaimed, feeling a rush of excitement. He couldn't believe how quickly their fame had grown. He returned the phone back to Miguel and sighed dejectedly.“You're thinking about Sophia again, aren't you?” Miguel asked him, pouring himself some coffee.“I still love her, but I can't forget what she did. She never believed in me. I wonder how she'll react when she sees me now,” Alejandro confessed. “Maybe we should take over her business too?” He further suggested.“Not now, Alejandro. Let's stop with acquiring people's businesses and focus on building our own empire. Remember the Casino idea I mentioned? That could be our next big venture,” Miguel said.Alejandro just got up and beg

“Ah, Mr. García, it's good to see you here. What was the commotion all about outside?” Mr. Lopez, the host, greeted them as they entered. He was an elderly man with matching beard and hair, dressed in a dragon-themed black and gold three-piece suit.“Just someone looking for publicity, let's proceed,” Miguel answered for Alejandro.Alejandro and Miguel were invited as special guests to one of the year's biggest parties, exclusive to the elite. The venue was lavishly decorated, and the room buzzed with chattering.One of the reasons they had come was to discuss the establishment of their new casino.Alejandro's head was filled with memories of Sophia, and bitterness crept into his heart. “You guys can continue without me.” He said and walked to take a seat near the poolside.After about an hour, Miguel walked up to him and saw him in a bad mood.“Cool down, Alejandro, here,” Miguel offered him a glass of sparkling white wine, leading him to a secluded garden area. “What's the matter?
