Chapter 23
It was 02:44 PM. The grand Morte car screeched to a halt at the emergency entrance of the city’s most exclusive hospital. Sable was rushed inside, supported by his father, Iñigo Morte, and his best friend, Dimé. Sable was pale, but already regaining his dramatic flair. Sable: "I'm telling you, I'm fine! Get me out of this place! I'm ready to go home!" Iñigo: "You collapsed, son! The doctor needs to check your vitals. You pushed too hard." Dimé: "Just relax, man. The papers can wait." After a quick, perfunctory examination, Sable, still insistent, was released. He was now sitting in the back of the grand car with Iñigo and Dimé. Sable: "Ice is an animal. I need to be more careful with him." Iñigo: "Careful? You collapsed from exhaustion, Sable. You've been overdoing it since the Morte acquisition." Sable: "No, Father. It was the driver. He hit me. Not hard, but..." Sable trailed off, a confused look crossing his face. "I wonder why Ice know that kind of wealthy self-defense. He'

SABLE GOING WORST It was a new Monday, nine in the morning. The air in the greenery and wide parking garage of the Morte main home was still cool. Sable was already there, pacing, waiting for his aunt's car, and taking the opportunity to mock Zander/Ice, who was polishing the car. Onyx, in his new Security Guard uniform, watched from a distance near the service elevator, keeping a professional, unmoving gaze on the situation. Sable: "Driver! Your reflection in that fender is disgusting. It looks like you slept in the car again." Zander/Ice: "No, sir." Sable: "Don't contradict me! That's what you blue-collar people do, isn't it? Sleep in the dirt and expect a paycheck for breathing Morte air. You're an embarrassment to this garage!" Zander/Ice didn't fight back. He simply lowered his gaze and continued his meticulous work. Sable laughed, satisfied, and turned toward the internal hallway leading to the main house entrance. As soon as Sable was out of sight, Onyx moved swiftly, clo

🌎 NEW WORLD It was nine in the morning at the Steel Tower. Teggo was already working in his spacious, sleek office, immersed in the digital schematics of Morte’s new Cell Boost Initiative. The door swung open, and Merk strode in, carrying a large, brightly colored box. Merk: "Surprise, boss! Or should I say, friend?" Teggo looked up, genuinely surprised. "Boss or a friend! Whatever! You don't have to... but... thank you!" Merk: "You're welcome. I really like your office, man." Merk placed the box on Teggo's desk. "Seriously, man, I wanted to thank you for this new career as your Personal Assistant. The whole work-from-home setup is incredible. I've already automated half your scheduling." Before Teggo could respond, the office door opened again. Ellvys walked in, balancing a bottle of expensive champagne and three crystal flutes. Ellvys: "And what’s a new career without a proper toast?" Teggo: "Ellvys! You two organized this? What about your data breach?" Ellvys: "I’m an an

SMILING AND CLAPPING t was 9 AM, Saturday morning, and the Morte palace grounds were quiet. Zander/Ice was preparing one of the fleet cars near the service entrance when Sable found him. Madame Cassandra Morte was nowhere in sight.Sable: "Driver! Polish the hood of my car again! I can still see dusts clearly, and that offends me." Ice: "I'm the family driver, sir. Not the detailer." Sable stepped closer, his voice dropping to a harsh whisper. "In this house, you are whatever I say you are. You are out of payroll, working on my grandfather's pity. Are you arguing with me, lowlife? Remember your place. Look down when you address a Morte." Zander/Ice didn't argue further, nodding and returning to the car, still looking down upon the ground. Sable stalked away, satisfied with his early-morning domination. At 10 AM, Sable was at the Morte corporate building, savoring his victory when his father, Iñigo Morte, found him in his executive office. Iñigo Morte: "Sable! Son! Congratulations

WALK, FROM THE MEMORY It was a new Wednesday morning, exactly 8 AM. Madame Cassandra Morte frowned as she reviewed the week’s schedule. She remembered that she needed a new driver in their main house. Their current driver was sick again, and Madame Morte noticed it that their driver is always sick, like every next two weeks. Reliability was non-negotiable. She remembered the steady, silent chauffeur from the Tower and used her intercom. Madame Morte: "Ice, report to the living room. In our palace. I assume you know where we are located, right?" Zander/Ice: Yes, Madame. Hours later, Zander/Ice stood before her, his posture rigid. Madame Morte: "Our main driver is indisposed. You'll take his place, effective immediately. You will be the Morte family driver here at the main residence. Do you accept the new job?" Zander/Ice: "Yes, Ma'am. Thank you!!!" He retreated immediately, heading down toward the cold, echoing underground parking garage to find his new vehicle. Sable was there,
Chapter 18
The glare of the midday sun bounced off the sapphire water surrounding the island resort in Singapore. Teggo and the rest of Zander/Ice's friends; Merk, Onyx, Ellvys, and River were lounging in the shade of a private cabana. Despite the luxury, a cloud of disbelief hung over them. Sable had won the Morte property deal. River: "I still can't believe I delivered the final file. I was standing right there, watching him sign. I failed." Merk: "Don't say that, River. Sable moved too fast. He pushed the date, he displaced Onyx and Ellvys right as we were about to hit the switch. He knew someone was working against him." Ellvys: "He didn't know us. He just knew we were working on Morte files, so he burned all assets that were not explicitly loyal. Like me, the analyst, and Onyx, the guard. It was a paranoid, preemptive strike." Onyx: "A lucky strike that cost us Morte's future." Teggo: "Luck? No." Teggo leaned forward, pulling their attention away from the disaster. "That's why I started
