Chapter 10: Jayden Hart's three lives.
The sleek, armored G-Wagon carried them out of the commercial district and into the gates of an ultra-exclusive private estate. The neighborhood was breathtaking—hidden behind towering, ivy-covered stone walls, with perfectly manicured lawns, winding paved roads, and giant palm trees shielding the properties from the outside world. It felt less like a residential area and more like a high-security fortress for royalty. The car pulled up a long, circular driveway and came to a stop. When Jayden stepped out, his breath caught completely in his throat. Before him was a massive, ultra-modern mansion made of stark white concrete, towering glass panels, and dark steel accents. It looked like something out of an architectural magazine. It was magnificent, imposing, and completely terrifying. Waiting in a perfect, disciplined row near the grand entrance were six neatly dressed people. “Good afternoon, Mr. Hart. Good afternoon, Mr. Rodriguez,” they greeted in unison. Jayden awkwardly exc

"The door is open. The CFO will ensure your percentage is returned to you!” Everyone's eyes widened. A collective gasp filled the massive boardroom, the sudden tension turning the air cold. To Jayden's right, Mr. Rodriguez turned to him, completely stunned by the audacity of the young man standing beside him. “You heard me right,” Jayden continued, his voice dropping into a bold and cold tone that surprised even himself. “It would be a shame to our business if we listened to the complaints of important investors like you and didn't put them into action. If you know you are not satisfied with this arrangement, feel free to leave. We won't owe you a single percent.” The room fell into a dead, suffocating silence. Jayden’s gaze swept slowly around the mahogany table, locked onto the man who had been shouting the loudest, and pointed a finger. “Mr. Brooks, what percentage do you hold in this company?” The older man stood up quietly, his previous arrogance completely vanishing. He cle

Mr. Rodriguez then looked over Jayden's simple outfit and smiled gently, reaching under his desk to pull out a designer garment bag. “You can use the private lounge connected to this office to change. A proper outfit can do wonders for a man's confidence.”Jayden appraised his own clothes, suddenly feeling self-conscious. He had specifically worn the absolute best outfit in his entire wardrobe today—a jacket that had been a twenty-third birthday gift from his friends.He accepted the bag, walked into the connected private room, and found himself stunned by the luxury of the executive changing suite. 'There's an entire apartment hidden in this office,' he realized.Unzipping the bag, his eyes went wide when he caught sight of the price tag attached to the flawless, tailored tuxedo.“Five thousand dollars...” he muttered under his breath, shaking his head. 'Money.'He slipped into the tuxedo, and when he turned to look at himself in the full-length mirror, his mouth fell half

He collapsed into his chair the moment he got home, a lingering smile still on his face from when he had left. He wasn't completely alone in the world after all. He was still reminiscing over everything that had happened when a voice interrupted his thoughts. “Man, it is getting seriously hard to understand you lately,” Grayson said, narrowing his brows as he walked into the room. “Last week you were completely moody, and now you're sitting there smiling like you just won some illegal money.” Jayden’s smile faltered slightly. Was he going to tell them the truth? That he had found his little sister, the one who was supposed to have died fourteen years ago? No. He couldn't risk her safety. Instead, he just forced another smile. “It's just good to see you happy for a change,” Nathan chimed in, tossing his jacket aside. “Let's go grab a drink to celebrate your good mood.” “Alright. My treat,” Jayden said. Both of his friends stopped in their tracks, their eyes widening in shock. “
Chapter 6: My Secret Sister.
After a week of trying to understand everything that man that claims to be his grandfather said. He decided to visit her today. His gaze fixed on his phone, eying the address Rodriguez sent him. I need to see what she looks like. He found his way out and got a taxi. Soon he approached the house. “Who's that? I'll get the door.” A feminine voice said from inside. The door creaked open. Jayden's eyes widened. Ashley stared at Jayden, seizing him up. “Hello uncle. Please, who are you?” Is this my sister? Yes, she is. Can't you recognize that blue eyeball? “Just get our guest inside,” one woman said and Ashley nodded “Hi dear,” the woman said, walking out from the kitchen area. She wiped her hands on a dishtowel, her eyes scanning Jayden with a mixture of curiosity and a sudden, sharp recognition. “I’m Mrs. Harriet. Ashley, go fetch our guest some water, please.” Ashley offered Jayden one last inquisitive look, her piercing blue eyes lingering on his face for a se

He sat on the couch, gaze fixed absently on the man lying on the bed. "I had an accident two months ago, on my way back from a meeting," he said slowly, his voice raspy. "How did you know it was staged?" The man coughed slightly, then continued, "I received an anonymous message with threats that morning." "Did you know who might have done it?" Jayden asked, his jaw tightening, a knot of unease tightening in his gut. "My stepbrothers. They wanted me to invest in their... shady business, but I refused." Jayden nodded, his mind racing, trying to process the implications. "Why didn't you come to me sooner? Why now?" The man glanced at him and smiled weakly, a wisp of a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "I tried. But your father had his ways. If you can remember, I came looking for you when you were young – at your school, and promised to visit often," the man muttered, audible enough for Jayden to hear. He cleared his throat, a painful sound. "But your father called me. He told m
