Chapter 237
As they rolled up to the Golden Foundation estate, Jennifer felt a surge of nerves. The place was massive, with fancy-dressed guests and Golden family members milling about. She glanced nervously at Samuel."Remember, you're a Golden now, so hold your head high," he murmured, giving her back a gentle push as he guided her inside. He needed to play the role of a loving husband while in public. He knew he couldn’t be his usual cold and distant self right now.After walking through the impressive entrance hall, Jennifer couldn't shake the feeling of being out of place. People were gazing and murmuring no matter where she turned her head. On the contrary, Samuel appeared very comfortable, effortlessly introducing her to various important individuals. The main reason for the foundation that eased her anxiety was the orphan children. Jennifer put effort into smiling and engaging in small conversations, but she felt overwhelmed by the intense scrutiny. Drifting off, she felt herself pulled

The Golden estate was eerily quiet, save for the soft click of Sterling's dress shoes as he strode purposefully through the mansion with a tall glass of red wine in his hands. Accompanying him is his nephew, Max, whose face was a mask of calculated calm. Both men stopped in front of a hedge bush looking into the garden.As Max reached the ornate door leading to the lush garden, Sterling paused, taking a deep breath before speaking firmly. "Hey Max, you need to remember that Samuel is smart, and every move we take must be well calculated so it doesn’t trace back to us."There was a moment of silence before Max retorted, revealing Max's inquisitive expression. "Uncle Sterling, you worry too much.” He said with a slight smirk on his face “I’ve already laid the seeds of confusion in Samuel’s life, starting with his wife Isabella, I gave her a…”.“Isabella?” Sterling interrupts Max mid sentence with a confused gaze. “Nephew, the woman who is married to Samuel is Jennifer Bennett, not Isabe

The dimly lit backroom of the Golden estate was thick with tension as Sterling Golden and Maximilian, his newly-minted ally, discussed their plot to overthrow Samuel's rule.Sterling reclined in his seat, a wicked grin appearing on his face. “Max, are you saying you're ready to go to any lengths to overthrow your stepbrother and take your rightful position in the family?”Max nodded, his eyes shining with an intense hunger. "Definitely, Uncle. For too many years, Samuel has refused to give me my rightful portion of the family's riches and power. It's about time I claimed what belongs to me."Sterling chuckled, the noise was quiet and full of threat. "That is precisely what I was hoping to hear. With your inside information and my assets combined, we will be unbeatable.”"What is the strategy now?” Max, leaning forward eagerly, inquired. “What is our plan for achieving this successfully?"Sterling squinted as he pondered the choices before him. “Initially, we must tarnish Samuel's repu

The Golden estate buzzed with an air of anticipation for The red moon ball, an annual ball that celebrates the founding of the Golden family organization. Maximilian, the long-absent stepbrother of Samuel, Jill, and Jin, arrived to pay his respects to the new don.Samuel stood at the head of the grand foyer, his expression guarded as Max sauntered through the ornate double doors, a self-assured grin plastered across his face. As is tradition every member of the family must pay tribute to the new don.“Well here he comes, oooh brother, do we have to entertain this fool?” said Jin with a disgusted look on his face.Jill smacks Jin on his shoulder signaling him not to raise his voice “don’t be mean Jin despite his disposition he is still our brother”.“Half brother you mean,” said Samuel as he cuts in on his siblings conversation. “He is a no good half-blood if I had ever seen one.” he continues with an apple in his hand and as he sits on the Don’s chair “you have always been too nice an

"Trade reform?" Farid asked, looking confused. "What's wrong with our trade system?""It's corrupt," Damon said. "The wealthy merchants are exploiting the smaller traders, and the tariffs are crippling our economy. We need to create a fair and equitable system that benefits everyone, not just a select few.""That sounds like a lot of work," Aria said."It is," Damon said. "But it's important. We need to build a Tarkington where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background.""So, what about the riches?" Farid asked. "You're not going to take any of the royal treasures?"Damon shook his head. "I don't need them. I have everything I need right here," he said, gesturing to Aria and Farid. "Besides, the money is better spent on helping those who need it most."News of Damon’s decision spread quickly throughout the city. People were amazed by his humility and his dedication to the common good. Soon, a new nickname began to circulate: "Prince of the People."That ni

"Thank you," he whispered, his voice choked with emotion. "Thank you, Damon."Damon squeezed his father's hand, his heart aching with a mixture of sadness and relief. He had finally said what needed to be said. He had finally forgiven the man who had caused him so much pain.He stood up, releasing Tarkon's hand. "Rest now, Father," he said. "You've earned it."He turned and walked towards the door, pausing with his hand on the latch. He looked back at Tarkon, who was still sitting on the bed, his eyes closed, tears streaming down his face."Goodbye, Father," Damon said softly.He opened the door and stepped out, leaving Tarkon alone with his thoughts. The guards closed the door behind him, the sound echoing in the silence.Damon walked back through the prison, his steps lighter this time. He felt a sense of peace he hadn't felt in years. He had faced his father, he had spoken his truth, and he had offered forgiveness. He had done all he could.He emerged from the prison into the cool
