“Is this the man you've been looking for?”

The man standing beside the desk placed a tablet in front of his employer. On the screen was a photograph of Ethan, taken at a recent business event.

The older man sitting behind the desk picked up the tablet, examining the photograph without much interest at first. He had received several reports that morning, most of which concerned business opportunities and potential partnerships. However, this particular report contained a name he hadn't expected

  • WHAT WILL YOU DO IN THE MEANTIME?

    “Have you read this article?”Scarlett entered the living room with her phone in her hand. Ethan was sitting on the sofa, going through a few documents related to his businesses. He glanced up when she approached, noticing the concern on her face.“What happened?” he asked, setting the documents aside.“Read this first.” She handed him the phone.Ethan took the phone from her hands and looked at the headline displayed across the screen.FROM PRISON CELL TO BUSINESS EMPIRE: IS THE FALLEN HEIR'S SUCCESS BUILT ON SHADY DEALINGS?The article had been published on a popular news portal earlier that morning. Beneath the headline was a photograph of a young man leaving a courthouse, his face partially hidden by the people surrounding him. It wasn't Ethan's photograph, but the description that followed made the intended subject obvious.He continued reading.The article described the downfall of a wealthy heir who had once belonged to one of the most influential business families in the count

  • A GHOST FROM THE PAST

    “Is this the man you've been looking for?”The man standing beside the desk placed a tablet in front of his employer. On the screen was a photograph of Ethan, taken at a recent business event.The older man sitting behind the desk picked up the tablet, examining the photograph without much interest at first. He had received several reports that morning, most of which concerned business opportunities and potential partnerships. However, this particular report contained a name he hadn't expected to encounter again.“Where did you get this?”“Our people have been monitoring several influential individuals whose businesses have expanded considerably over the past few years. His name came up during one of our investigations based on the way you described the person you're looking for. He's known in certain circles as the Shadow Tyrant.”The man studied the photograph again. His fingers stopped at the edge of the screen as an old memory returned.He knew that face.The years had changed Eth

  • WHAT ELSE?

    “Have you found out why Charlie has been meeting people connected to the weapons consignment?”Ethan sat behind his desk, going through a few documents Orion had brought into his room. He had been waiting for a detailed update ever since Orion informed him about Charlie's suspicious activities.Orion placed a folder on the desk. “I've managed to establish several connections between Charlie and the intermediaries involved in the shipment. He has met at least two of them recently, and their communication has increased over the past few days.”“Do we know what they discussed?”“Not yet, Chief. However, it looks like General Hawke is right, there are a lot of things going on beyond our understanding here, their recent activities suggest that Charlie is trying to become more involved in their operation rather than simply helping them arrange transactions.” Ethan opened the folder and examined the reports. “What else?”“Charlie has also been making inquiries about the Carvendish family. I

  • WHAT IF THEY NEVER ACCEPT ME?

    “Before we proceed with the next item, I would like to hear your opinion on the proposed changes to the company's operations.”Scarlett glanced at the documents in front of her before addressing the senior members seated around the conference table. It was her first major business meeting since officially taking charge of the Caspian family, and she had already noticed that not everyone was comfortable with the change.“The proposal is straightforward. We have been spending too much on maintaining several unprofitable divisions. I intend to restructure them rather than continue using company resources to keep them running.”One of the senior executives leaned forward. “With all due respect, Miss Caspian, those divisions have been part of this family's business for years. Closing or restructuring them could affect our existing relationships.”“I haven't proposed closing them without reviewing their contracts. I've already examined the financial records, and the current arrangement is c

  • BEYOND ORDINARY REVENGE

    “Have you found anything new about the people behind the weapons consignment?”Orion stood beside a table, reviewing the latest reports on his computer.From the moment Ethan had informed him about the illegal weapons consignment, he had been following the intermediaries connected to the shipment, but their activities had become increasingly difficult to trace. Every time he uncovered one connection, it led to totally different organisations with no obvious involvement in the operation.He opened a recently received report and read through it again.One of the intermediaries had met an unfamiliar individual two nights earlier. The meeting itself wasn't unusual, but the man's previous communication records caught Orion's attention. He had been in contact with someone who had recently approached Charlie.Orion leaned back in his chair, considering the connection.Charlie had already been identified as one of the people involved in arranging transactions connected to the shipment. Howeve

  • I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOUR DECISION

    “How much longer all these people expect me to wait?”Charlie paced around the small room, growing increasingly irritated as he checked his phone. He had arranged the meeting two days ago, and the intermediary had finally agreed to bring him into contact with the people handling the weapons consignment. He wasn't going to waste this opportunity.His life had become unbearable since Jerome threw him out of the Carvendish mansion, he was forced to live in a cramped apartment he could barely tolerate. Every time he thought about Ethan enjoying the life that should have been his, his anger grew.But making Ethan lose his position wasn't enough anymore.Charlie wanted the entire Carvendish family gone. He wanted Jerome, Hailey, Sally, and Ethan to lose everything permanently including their lives. He didn't want another opportunity for them to recover or rebuild their lives. He wanted to make sure none of them could ever stand in his way again.His phone vibrated with a message containing
