You Can’t Pay Him:
The morning sun filtered through the tall glass panels of the private dining room. Leonard sat alone at the long table, dressed in a casual black shirt, sleeves rolled to his forearms.His breakfast was untouched black coffee still steaming, a half-sliced avocado beside warm toast and yet his focus wasn’t on the food.His phone vibrated.Leonard glanced at the screen and answered with a faint smile. “Diana.”“Morning,” came her crisp voice on the other end. “You sound unusually relaxed. Is the mission going well?”Leonard leaned back in his chair, stretching one leg beneath the table. “Depends on your definition of well. The deeper I dig, the more smoke I find. Whoever’s orchestrating the attacks on the three families…isn’t just hiding behind a curtain. They’re in the house.”“So you’re saying one of the families is involved?” Diana asked, her voice sharpening.Leonard nodded. “That’s the troubling part. All three families. Davison, Wades, and Hades have been hit. But the pattern does
Keith’s Comeback:
The tension inside Marshall Corporation’s boardroom was so thick it could be sliced with a knife.Twelve shareholders surrounded the long, glossy table, papers strewn, voices raised, and egos blazing.At the head of the table sat Keith, calm, silent, his fingers loosely folded on the smooth surface while a storm of accusations swirled around him.“You’ve made no progress, Keith,” snapped a gray-haired man in an expensive navy suit, Mr. Donald Cray, one of the most senior shareholders. “It’s been months since you dared to raise the company shares by fifty percent or you’ll have to un-sit yourself . We haven’t seen the numbers, no update, no strategy briefing, just press releases and vague statements!”Several others nodded, murmuring their agreement.“I second that,” said a portly man to Donald’s right, gruff and irritated.“And I also heard things about you and that model, Bella Hadid. Are you even working anymore, or just playing house with your personal Barbie doll?”The name Bell
The Cooperation:
Outside the Hades Corporation, John Davison’s chest rose and fell with unrelenting rage as he stepped into the backseat of the black Mercedes waiting for him. The driver flinched slightly at the way John slammed the door shut, his jaw tight and hands fisted on his thighs.“Drive,” he barked, but just as the driver shifted into gear, John pulled out his phone and dialed his father.The line clicked.“John?” came the cool voice of Mr. Davison, seasoned and sharp, but heavy with calculated wisdom.“Dad, we have a problem,”John growled. “That bastard Leonard humiliated me in front of Harry Hades. Broke Elijah’s hand like it was a toothpick! I’ve never seen anything like it.”There was a long pause on the line.“I warned you not to underestimate him,” Mr. Davison replied at last,his tone grave.“You shouldn’t have approached him head-on.”John scoffed, nostrils flaring. “He looked like a damn janitor, dad. Wore cheap clothes like he crawled out of a bus station. There’s no way that man s
Leonard’s Entry:
At Leonard’s question, John’s face immediately flushed with red-hot fury, his pride burning under the weight of the man’s indifference. “You, You don’t recognize me?” John spat, his voice raised, a mocking smile twisting his lips. “How can you not know who I am? I’m John Davison! From the Davison family—the third great family of Oklahoma!” He rose from the chair abruptly, hands splayed on the polished wood of the desk as he leaned forward. His chest heaved with anger. John stared down at Leonard and his brows were raised with disgust. Was this the man Harry worshiped? Has he gone mad?! This man looks like a good for nothing with this clothes on! Harry must have gone insane! And for this useless looking peasant to ignore him this way, he must be taught a lesson. No one disrespects a member of the Davisons family and goes Scot-free. John turned sharply to one of the towering men behind him. “Teach this nobody a lesson.” The command was swift. One of John’s bodyguards, dress
John’s Outburst:
In that moment, Harry's hand seemed to have freeze right in the middle of the air.Leonard is here?The name surfaced in his memories and his fingers twitched ever so slightly. No hint of a text;No call;No hint of a visit. This was far from Leonard’s persona. He was the type of man who always had a purpose with whatever it was that he chose to do. As they sat on the other side of the desk, John sat observing with eyebrows knitted together in confusion and suspicion while looking at Harry’s face morphing ever so slightly. He was intrigued by Harry’s reaction to the secretary’s announcement. The man who was speaking authoritatively at him suddenly became as a meek as a cat. Was it fear that he saw in his eyes?But, Harry Hades feared no man. It was something else. Caution perhaps? Respect? Rare… but not impossible. John had heard that name before. Leonard. It clicked. The Styles party. He was the man his father had mentioned offhand that evening. The one who showed u
