The luxurious grand ballroom at the Riverton Hotel was filled with a mix of wealth and political aspirations. Shimmering crystal chandeliers illuminate the guests mingling at Vittorio's campaign for mayor, each one a possible friend or foe. Trisha nervously straightened her dress, looking around the room. Max stood next to her, providing a comforting anchor amidst the crowd of strangers. The two had just finished their passionate lovemaking and now they join the unknowing guests at the event."Chill out, Trisha," Max quietly said, feeling her stress. "We're here to build friendships, not create adversaries."Trisha forced a smile. “Easier said than done. Everyone looks like they’re plotting something.”Max chuckled. “Well babe, welcome to politics.”They moved through the crowd, exchanging polite nods and handshakes. Trisha spotted Vittorio near the stage, surrounded by a group of enthusiastic supporters. He caught her eye and gave a reassuring nod.“Trisha, Max! Over here!” Vittorio

Lena hesitated, seeing the shift in Max's expression from concern to guarded caution. She knew that pressing the topic could lead to more questions she wasn't ready to answer. Quickly, she decided to change the subject.“I…..uhm couldn’t hear you guys properly but I believed you were talking about the election.” She said, hoping to change the subject. "I wanted to ask you about the upcoming election event rally," she said, forcing a bright smile. "I'm excited about it."Max’s eyes softened again, though the tension didn’t completely leave his face. "The mayor election event rally? Yes, it’s coming up soon. We’re raising funds for the new campaign for Vittorio's election."Lena nodded eagerly. "I’d love to help with the preparations. Maybe I and Trisha could coordinate with the supporters or handle the decorations?"Max’s smile returned, more genuine this time. "That sounds like a great idea. I’m sure your touch will make the event even more special."She relaxed a bit, relieved at the

Nathan's heart pounded in his chest as he turned to face Magnus, who was eyeing him with suspicion. He quickly ended the call with Kim, trying to compose himself."Uh, Magnus, I was just talking to my cousin," Nathan stammered, his voice betraying his anxiety. "He’s been worried about me, you know, after the... incident."Magnus's eyes narrowed, clearly unconvinced. "Your cousin? Then why were you whispering?, if I didn't know any better I would think you were up to something"Nathan swallowed hard. "I didn’t want to interrupt the meeting. It was a quick call."Magnus took a step closer, his presence intimidating. "You better not be hiding anything, Nathan. You know how things work around here."Nathan nodded vigorously. "Of course, Magnus. I wouldn’t dream of it."Magnus studied him for a moment longer before finally nodding. "Alright. But remember, I’m watching you."As Magnus turned and walked away, Nathan let out a shaky breath. He needed to think fast. If Magnus or anyone else fo

"Magnus, what the hell are you doing?" Evelyn’s voice was sharp, but her expression was puzzled.Magnus froze, his hand dropping. "Grandma, I was just--"Evelyn cut him off. "Don't you know the meeting started downstairs? What are you still doing here?"Magnus’s face darkened, but he quickly regained composure. Luckily for him, Evelyn did not notice what he was trying to do."Yes. I lost track of time, I was just here to get Sarah, Roland was asking for her downstairs,” he said, hoping that Evelyn believed his lie. “I’m going downstairs now. You guys should join us soon."He went past Evelyn and left the room, closing the door behind him.Sarah let out a shaky breath. "Thank you, Evelyn."Evelyn walked over and placed a comforting hand on Sarah’s shoulder. "Thank you? Sarah are you okay? Did Magnus say or do something?"Sarah stopped for a moment, though her hands were still trembling, she knew telling Evelyn about the advances Magnus was making on her would cause some rift in the fam

The initial rays of sunrise slowly entered through the curtains, illuminating the room with a gentle luminosity. Lena and Nathan were wrapped up in each other's embrace, caught up in the aftermath of their intense lovemaking. They lay close together, their breaths mixing, completely forgetting the outside world.Their attention was caught by a gentle tap on the door and the slight creak of it opening. The maid didn't finish calling Mr. Nathan and Miss Lena before she abruptly closed the door upon hearing sounds from the room. "She said to herself that she would return later, with flushed cheeks."Within, Nathan and Lena intertwined in a loving embrace, allowing their worries to fade.Lena let out a happy sigh. "I can't remember the number of times we've done this."Nathan chuckled as he planted a kiss on her forehead. "I always want more of you, Lena."Lena felt her heart race at what he said. "Do you really mean that?"Nathan whispered, his fingertips creating delicate designs on her

Mayor's Office - MorningMayor Anderson walked back and forth, his face filled with frustration and turning red. His desk was scattered with papers as his voice reverberated in the room. "I can't believe this!" The Luckys and the Beckers are abandoning me! How am I supposed to run a re-election campaign without their support?”Sitting calmly in one of the plush chairs was Kim, the enigmatic leader of the Japanese gang. He watched Anderson's tantrum with an unreadable expression, his fingers steepled thoughtfully.Anderson stopped pacing and turned to Kim, his eyes desperate. “You’re just going to sit there? Do you have any idea what this means for me?”Kim’s gaze remained steady. “You do not need the Lucky and Becker families to win the election, Mayor.”Anderson blinked, taken aback. “What?
