"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? Are you out of your mind? They’re the most powerful and influential families in New York. Without their backing, I’m finished!”Kim continued, his tone calm and measured. “I will help you win the

Trisha, Sarah and Lena stood by the front entrance, waiting for the car to be brought around. Sarah was practically bouncing with excitement. “This is going to be great. We’ll get some new clothes, maybe have lunch somewhere nice.”Lena smiled, feeling a sense of freedom she hadn’t felt in a long time. “I can’t wait. Thank you for suggesting this, guys.”Trisha waved her hand dismissively. “Of course! We needed some girl time.”The driver stopped the car and then opened the door for them. Trisha Sarah and Lena giggled like schoolgirls as they climbed into the vehicle.The upscale shopping district was where the car left them off. Trisha, Sarah and Lena walked arm in arm along the sidewalk, pausing at different boutiques.Sarah pulled Lena into a high-end store. “Let’s start here. I’ve heard they have the most amazing dresses.”Lena looked around, awed by the beautiful clothes on display. “Everything is so gorgeous.”Trisha picked out a few dresses and handed them to Lena. “Try these o

The morning sunlight beamed in through the curtains of the window. It woke Lena up from her slumber. She felt the warmth coming from Nathan's body, which was next to her. His arm wrapped around her giving her protection.She Looked up at Nathan, and she saw his calm expression, his face appearing gentler when he was sleeping. She blushed even though she knew how dangerous it was to have intercourse with Nathan, who she was supposed to sell out to Randy and Bobby soon. However, she still had no regrets about last night because she was satisfied by the intense intercourse. But then she realized the situation she was in, she had just slept with Nathan, unprotected. This made her heart beat quickly.She carefully moved out from underneath his arm and went straight into the bathroom. She glanced back at him one more time before rushing into the bathroom, her mind racing with what to do next. She splashed water on her face, trying to calm herself."Okay, Lena. Think," she murmured to hersel

Trisha was restless as she couldn’t sleep. The mansion was extremely quiet in a way that only increased her unease. Deciding to stand and take a stroll, she let out a sigh “Perhaps drinking a cup of tea would help me sleep.” She said to herself.She got out of bed, put on a robe, and quietly walked down the hallway. Upon entering the kitchen, she could hear a soft tune playing. Intrigued by her curiosity, Trisha pursued the noise, walking carefully with light steps.The sound of music increased in volume as she approached the music room. Beethoven's "Für Elise" could be heard echoing in the corridor, a tune that was quite familiar. Stopping at the entrance, she held her breath in surprise. Max sat at the piano, his fingers moving gracefully across the keys. He played the same song at the ball on September 10, the evening he was shot.Trisha stood by the doorframe, observing him. In this moment, he appeared quite distinct--vulnerable, almost peaceful. A feeling of both admiration and s
