CHAPTER 29
The Lincoln Center was a massive cathedral of light and sound, its iconic arches glowing against the Manhattan night like the ribs of a prehistoric beast. Inside, the Metropolitan Opera House hummed with the refined vibration of New York’s ultra-elite. The scent of aged bourbon, Chanel No. 5, and the silent, crushing weight of old money.Keith Miller stood in the foyer, adjusting the cuffs of his midnight-blue tuxedo. The fabric felt like a second skin, armored and elegant. Beside him, Wills looked like a seasoned statesman in his own right, though the slight bulge under his left arm signaled a far more practical purpose."Greenburgh is already in Box 4," Wills murmured, checking a small, discreet device in the palm of his hand. "He’s with his wife and a young woman. Likely a mistress disguised as a niece. He’s drinking heavily.""Good," Keith said, his voice a calm, low vibration. "Let him marinate in his own fear for the first act. We move during the intermission."Keith climbed the
CHAPTER 28
The hotel room was sterile, smelling of industrial lemon and the lingering ghosts of a thousand transient travelers. Mandy Wales sat on the edge of the queen-sized bed, her suitcase still clicked shut near the door. In the dim light of a single bedside lamp, the screen of her phone felt like a blinding spotlight.‘Hey, wanna get back together?’The message from Phillip was a jagged anchor dragging her back into a past she had nearly bled out to escape. She stared at the words until they blurred. Four months ago, Phillip had been her world—a world of leather jackets, cheap whiskey, and the constant, thrumming anxiety of his drug-fueled temper. Moving to Memphis had been her salvation, and the Zillion-dollar dynasty had been the fortress that kept her safe. Now, in the heart of New York, the fortress felt like it was made of glass."Not tonight, Phillip," she whispered, her thumb hovering over the block button. But she paused. In a city where she knew no one, where her new boss looked a
CHAPTER 27
The night air in New York didn’t carry the heavy, humid scent of Memphis; instead, it felt sharp and industrial, a cold breeze that smelled of wet asphalt and ambition. Keith sat in the back of his black sedan, his fingers tracing the velvet texture of the small, square box in his pocket. Inside sat a vintage Cartier necklace, a piece Wills had suggested as a "peace offering" for the chaos of their first date. But as the car glided through the neon-blurred streets toward the hospital, Keith wasn't thinking about jewelry. He was thinking about the man he had killed.He could still feel the phantom kick of the gun in his palm. He could still see the way the shooter’s head had snapped back, the light leaving his eyes in a fraction of a second. It was a haunting image, yet beneath the horror, there was a budding, cold realization: he had survived. The "Alpha" within him wasn't just a title or a bank balance; it was a survival instinct that had finally been triggered. "You're quiet toni
CHAPTER 26
Mandy Wales wasn’t so thrilled about her relocation to New York. She was going to be the boss’s secretary now, the main boss and not just the manager. She loved the fact that she would be working directly with the head of a dynasty. She had been surprised the first time they met that he was such a young man. He couldn’t be up to his thirties yet, she was sure about that. For days after his brief meeting, Keith had been the talk at the branch in Memphis and Mandy couldn’t help but chirp in a word or two into the gossips that travelled to her desk. For a lot of reasons, she was excited about being here. She could boast of a higher salary now. Mr. Wills had informed her of the twenty-thousand-dollar addition to her yearly income. The new boss was generous, he had said. But that salary didn’t come with the privileges the other executives had, she didn’t have a place to stay yet. But that wasn’t the reason she didn’t like her move to New York. And no, it wasn’t just about the boister

CHAPTER 24
He managed to keep a straight face as Wills took up the position of making the introductions again. Mandy Wales’s green eyes gleamed like an emerald stone, piercing into Keith’s soul. Their eyes met and held for a few seconds. Keith could feel a reignited passion in his heart for those seconds, then he let go of her warm, fragile hand and moved on to the next man. He had sleek black hair with a balding spot at the center of his head and a receding hairline. Keith immediately remembered him from the pictures Wills had shown to him a few days ago. Wills had not been wrong about the manager. Wills had said he was always dressed in a black suit and red tie. This was Keith’s second time meeting him and only the design on the manager’s tie was the significant difference from his last outfit. “This is Morgan Greyjoy, Mr. Keith,” Wills announced, “all the executives have reported to the new headquarters on your orders, sir.”Keith nodded, restraining his gaze from shifting to Mandy
