The Prize He Covets
Leonard Blackwell was sitting behind his desk when Gideon Ashford arrived at his office the following morning. Several documents were spread across the polished surface, most of them related to Blackwell Group's recent business activities. However, Leonard's attention was focused on a particular folder containing information about the large-scale investment project he had been pursuing for some time.He had been waiting for developments regarding the selection of a business partner, and the lack of concrete information was beginning to test his patience. The project was too valuable to ignore, especially considering the influence of the person behind it. Securing the partnership would not only bring substantial financial benefits to Blackwell Group but also strengthen Leonard's position among the most influential businessmen in the region."Have you learned anything useful?" Leonard asked after Gideon took a seat across from him.Gideon loosened his jacket and leaned back slightly. "I
An Unnoticed Opportunity
Gideon Ashford was still visibly irritated after his exchange with Raiden. He had never expected to be put in such an uncomfortable position, especially in front of several influential business figures. Although he tried to maintain his composure, the thought of Raiden's remarks continued to bother him as he moved away from the gathering.Taking out his phone, Gideon called Leonard Blackwell."Leonard, you probably will not like hearing this, but I just had an unpleasant encounter with Raiden Bolt," he said as soon as the call connected. "That man has become increasingly arrogant. I merely questioned his achievements, and he somehow turned the conversation into an attack on you."Leonard, who was sitting in his private office at Blackwell Grand, frowned upon hearing Raiden's name."What happened?"Gideon briefly recounted their exchange, including Raiden's remarks about business sabotage and how several guests had witnessed the conversation.Leonard's expression darkened. He had alrea
A Question of Integrity
Gideon Ashford's remarks had drawn the attention of nearly everyone standing nearby. What had begun as an ordinary conversation among several guests had gradually turned into an uncomfortable exchange, particularly after he openly questioned Raiden's achievements in front of the others.Raiden remained composed, showing no obvious irritation at the man's condescending tone. He had encountered people like Gideon before, individuals who believed their wealth and connections gave them the right to look down on anyone they considered less established. Rather than responding emotionally, he simply regarded Gideon with an indifferent expression."Everyone is entitled to their opinion, Mr. Ashford," Raiden said. "However, I find it interesting that you seem particularly concerned about defending the people responsible for damaging another person's business."Gideon's eyebrows drew together. "What exactly are you implying?""I am referring to the incident at Aurora, of course. Someone deliber
An Invitation to Remember
The invitation arrived at Aurora Hotel three days after the incident at Blackwell Grand had become the talk of the city. It was an elegant cream-colored card bearing the emblem of the organization hosting its annual charity gala, an event attended by prominent business owners, investors, and influential figures from various industries.Raiden found it on his desk when he arrived that morning. He glanced over the details before setting it aside, showing little reaction to the invitation itself.Mileena, who had entered his office carrying several documents, noticed the card and approached the desk."An invitation to the annual charity gala?" she asked after reading the name printed on its front. "They usually invite owners and senior representatives from some of the largest companies in the city. It is quite a prestigious gathering.""They have invited Aurora this year," Raiden replied."That is a good opportunity for us." Mileena placed the documents beside the invitation. "The recent
An Unwanted Visitor
Angeline had never imagined that a simple message could be ignored so completely. She had sent Raiden two messages, both carefully worded to avoid revealing too much of her intentions, yet neither had received a response. At first, she assumed he might be busy with his hotel business, but as the hours passed and there was still no acknowledgment, irritation began to replace her patience.During their marriage, Raiden had always been the one who initiated conversations. Even when she treated him coldly, he would find reasons to approach her, ask about her day, or try to make her comfortable. She had grown accustomed to that attention and, at the time, considered it nothing more than an obligation from a husband who had little else to offer.Now the situation had completely reversed.Angeline looked at her phone again, hoping to find a new notification, but the screen remained unchanged. She placed it on the dressing table and studied her reflection in the mirror, considering what she s
A Change of Heart
Angeline had spent much of the morning scrolling through news articles and social media posts about Raiden Bolt. What initially began as curiosity had gradually turned into a growing interest, especially after seeing how quickly his name had gained attention following the incident at Blackwell Grand.She stopped at a photograph showing Raiden standing beside his Lamborghini Fenomeno. He wore a well-tailored suit, his posture straight and confident, with an expression that suggested he was entirely comfortable in his surroundings.Angeline studied the picture for a while.The man in the photograph bore little resemblance to the husband she had left behind. During their marriage, Raiden had been physically weak and dependent on others, and she had grown tired of the limitations that came with his condition. She had once believed that leaving him was the best decision she could make, but the man who had appeared at Blackwell Grand had forced her to reconsider what she thought she knew ab
