Lena’s hands still clenched, a cold chill gripping the skin. The terrible photos were burned onto her temples behind her lids and every gross detail flashing back in her mind. She’d tried to wash them away, to wipe them from her consciousness but the metallic scent of fear persisted. The huge estate was, on the surface, supposed to be an invisibility covering and a welcome place in which to lie, but now it felt like a maze of shadows and never-seen monsters. She stood out of her room, her feet carried out of her room, away from the noise of the scattered photos.

A faint low sung melody, mournful yet hopeful was coming out of an opening door. The sound of a piano. This wasn’t the classical pieces that the hired musicians had been practicing. This was something different. Something intimate. Lena was drawn into the music by the soothing tones and stood outside the music room.

Max sat at the grand piano with his back to her, and his fingers moving across the keys with such grace she didn

    Gonzalez spent the day holed up in his office, barking orders, making frantic calls, and watching his world crumble around him. His phone rang again. It was Senator Davies, the man who had hung up on Vance earlier."Senator," Gonzalez said, trying to keep his voice steady."Gonzalez, this is a disaster! A complete and utter catastrophe!" Davies's voice was cold, devoid of any past warmth. "My office is being flooded with calls. My constituents are furious. And the press… they're asking about my campaign donations from 'Citizens for a Better Tomorrow'!""Senator, I assure you, I had no knowledge of any illegal activities within the PAC," Gonzalez pleaded."I don't care what you knew, Gonzalez! What matters is what it *looks* like! It looks like I was bought and paid for! It looks like *you* were bought and paid for! I'm holding a press conference in an hour. I'm going to announce that I'm fully cooperating with all investigations, and that I'm calling for a complete and thorough review

    The city was a beehive of frantic activity, but this time, the buzzing wasn't just the usual urban hum. It was the sound of a scandal breaking, a political earthquake shaking the foundations of power.The first tremors hit before dawn. Max, sipping coffee in his penthouse, watched the early morning news channels. Ronald and Lena were already there, their faces illuminated by the glow of multiple screens."Channel 7 is running with it," Lena said, pointing to a screen where a stern-faced anchor read from a teleprompter. "They're calling it 'Lobbygate.' The 'Citizens for a Better Tomorrow' PAC is being accused of funneling illegal campaign contributions through shell corporations. They're naming names, Max. Big names.""Good," Max said, his voice calm. "Let them name names. The bigger the names, the better."Ronald tapped his tablet. "The ethics committee has already announced an emergency session. They've received an anonymous tip with 'overwhelming evidence.' Our package landed exactl

    In a sterile federal office, Agent Gonzalez slammed a file down on his desk. Agent Miller, his second-in-command, flinched slightly."Look at this, Miller!" Gonzalez fumed, pointing at a newspaper headline about the Green Clean scandal. "Max Lucky's empire is crumbling! He's bleeding from within! This 'John Smith' character, this Magnus, is tearing him apart!""Sir, we're still trying to get a read on 'John Smith'," Miller said cautiously. "He seems to have come out of nowhere. And the way he's exposing these things… it's almost too neat. Like someone wants us to see it.""Nonsense!" Gonzalez waved his hand dismissively. "Max is a cornered animal! He's lashing out! Or maybe this 'Smith' is some disgruntled former employee, someone Max screwed over, finally getting his revenge. It doesn't matter *who* he is, Miller! What matters is what he's doing! He's exposing Max's vulnerabilities! He's showing the world that Max Lucky is just a glorified thug playing dress-up!""But sir, our intell

    The city hummed, a restless beast under a bruised sky. Max sat at the head of a long, polished table in a secure, soundproof room deep within one of his legitimate office buildings. Across from him sat Lena, her tablet glowing with complex data, and Ronald, his face a mask of calm efficiency. The air was thick with unspoken tension, but Max’s voice was steady, almost casual."Alright," Max began, leaning forward slightly. "Magnus is here. He’s making noise. Vincenzo is in his ear. And Gonzalez is watching. It’s time we used all of them."Lena looked up, her dark eyes meeting Max's. "The plan is ready, Max. We've identified the targets. They're visible enough to draw attention, but ultimately, they're expendable. They won't hurt the core operations.""Good," Max nodded. "Ronald, how's our friend Magnus doing? Is he still convinced he’s playing me?"Ronald allowed himself a small, dry smile. "He's like a dog with a bone, Max. Vincenzo's doing a masterful job of pointing him towards the

    "I didn't relish it, Magnus," Max said, his voice hardening. "I took it because Grandma Elenor asked me to. She saw that you were not ready. She saw that if he left it to you, it would all fall apart. She built this family, this network, to last. She knew you would tear it down in a fit of rage or ambition.""And you're so much better?" Magnus sneered. "You're playing nice with the feds now? Letting Gonzalez run roughshod over the city? Letting him target our family's businesses? Grandma Elenor would be ashamed!""Grandma would be pragmatic," Max shot back. "She would understand that times change. Gonzalez is a threat, yes, but one that can be managed. And I am managing him. I've used his ego against him. I've made him chase ghosts while I fortify everything. I'm protecting what Father built, Magnus, not destroying it.""You're protecting your empire," Magnus accused. "Not ours. Not the family's. You've made it yours. You've pushed everyone else out.""Everyone who wasn't loyal, yes,"

    The city was a beast, always hungry, always watching. Magnus felt its familiar pulse as he stepped off the private jet, a ghost in a new skin. "John Smith," his passport read, a name as bland and forgettable as he intended to be, for now. He wore a simple suit, carried a single, unassuming bag. No flash, no fanfare. Just a quiet return.His first move wasn't to a fancy hotel, but to a small, nondescript apartment in a forgotten part of town. It was clean, anonymous, paid for in cash through layers of shell companies Vincenzo had set up. He spent the next few hours just listening. He bought local papers, watched local news, and, most importantly, he started making calls. Not to old friends, not yet. To the fringes. The small-time operators, the street-level informants, the ones who saw everything but were never seen themselves."Hey, it's me," he'd say, his voice carefully modulated, low and steady. "I'm looking for some information. About Lucky Corporations. About Max. What's he up to
