At the Golden Mansion in Samuel's Study

Samuel sat behind his father's massive oak desk, his hands steepled in front of him. Lucas leaned against the window, looking out over the vast estate, while Aria sat on the plush chairs opposite Samuel.

Aria broke the tense silence. "What are we going to do, Samuel? People are saying we’re responsible for Jackson Bennett’s death."

Aria nodded. "We need to clear our name. This could ruin us."

Samuel sighed. "We need to stay calm. The Bennetts are grieving and looking for someone to blame. We have to be strategic."

Lucas turned from the window, his expression grim. "Strategic how? They're not going to listen to reason."

Samuel looked at his siblings, his eyes filled with determination. "We need to gather our own evidence. Find out who really killed Jackson. And we need to be prepared for anything the Bennetts might throw at us."

Sophia frowned. "But how do we do that? We don't even know where to start."

Aria leaned forward. "We start by tightenin

    The warehouse was a cavernous space, filled with the stench of stale beer, cigarette smoke, and something else… something metallic and vaguely unsettling. Jin followed the gruff man through a maze of crates and shadowy figures, his senses on high alert. Every glance, every whisper felt like a potential threat."Easy, kid," the man grunted, noticing Jin's unease. "Just keep your mouth shut and do what you're told."Jin nodded, forcing a casual shrug. "Just taking it all in."They stopped before a heavy steel door, guarded by two hulking figures with vacant eyes. The man knocked twice, then once more, a specific rhythm. The door creaked open, revealing a dimly lit office."The Maestro will see you now," one of the guards said, his voice devoid of emotion.Jin stepped inside, his heart pounding. The office was sparsely furnished, dominated by a large desk made of dark wood. Behind it sat a man in a tailored suit, his face obscured by the shadows."So, you're the new recruit," the Maestro

    "Don't play dumb, Colt," Damon said, stepping closer. "I know about the 'Ten Thieves'. I know about the heist. I know about everything."Colt's face turned pale. He looked at his men, then back at Damon, his eyes filled with desperation."You can't prove anything," Colt said, his voice trembling."I don't need to prove anything," Damon said, his voice hardening. "I'm here to stop you. And I'm not leaving until you're behind bars."Colt hesitated, his mind racing. He knew he was trapped. He couldn't let Damon take him down."I'm not going down alone," Colt said, his hand reaching inside his jacket.Before Damon could react, Colt pulled out a gun and fired.***The bullet whizzed past Damon's head, narrowly missing him. He ducked behind a fuel truck, his heart pounding in his chest."Jin, take him down!" Damon shouted, his voice adrenaline-fueled.Jin didn't hesitate. He charged forward, his movements fluid and deadly. He disarmed Colt's men with lightning speed, leaving them sprawling

    The clock on the wall ticked with a relentless rhythm, each second a reminder of the time slipping away. Damon stood before a whiteboard covered in photos, names, and lines connecting them all in a chaotic web. Clearance Colt was at the center, his face a constant source of anger."Okay, let's run through it again," Damon said, his voice tight. "Felix, what's the status on Colt's accounts?"Felix, hunched over a laptop, looked up, his face etched with fatigue. "He's moving money like crazy, Damon. Offshore accounts, shell corporations, you name it. He's definitely preparing to disappear.""Where's it all going?" Aria asked, leaning against the wall, her arms crossed."That's the tricky part," Felix said, shaking his head. "He's covering his tracks well. But I've managed to trace a significant amount to a private airfield outside the city. Small operation, mostly used for private jets."Damon's eyes narrowed. "That's our exit point. He's planning to flee the country."A knock on the do

    The drive to the cemetery was silent, filled with unspoken grief and simmering rage. Damon glanced at Aria, noticing the way she clenched her jaw, her knuckles white as she gripped the steering wheel. He knew this was going to be difficult for her.They arrived at the cemetery and walked hand in hand through the rows of tombstones, the names and dates blurring together in a sea of sorrow. Finally, they reached their destination: a simple, unassuming headstone with Aria's mother's name etched into the stone. Maya GoldenAria stood there, staring at the grave, her eyes filling with tears. Damon put his arm around her, pulling her close."I miss her so much," Aria whispered, her voice breaking. "She was the best Mom anyone could ask for."Damon squeezed her hand, offering what little comfort he could. He knew what it was like to lose a parent, to feel that gaping hole in your heart."I know," Damon said, his voice soft. "But she's not really gone, Aria. She's still with you, in your hear

    The first rays of dawn pierced through the blinds of Damon's mansion, casting long, distorted shadows across the room. He lay motionless in bed, staring at the ceiling, the events of the previous day replaying in his mind like a broken record. The shareholders' meeting, Colt's smug grin, the flashing cameras, the crushing weight of defeat.He hadn't slept, hadn't eaten, hadn't even bothered to change out of the suit he'd worn to the meeting. The loss of Yorkers City Bank was more than just a financial blow; it was a personal one. It was a symbol of his hard work, his dedication, his very identity. And now, it was gone.A knock on the door startled him. He ignored it, hoping whoever it was would go away. But the knocking persisted, growing louder, more insistent."Damon, I know you're in there," Aria's voice called out. "Open the door."He groaned, pulling the covers over his head. "Go away, Aria. I'm not in the mood.""Too bad," she said, her voice muffled through the door. "I'm comin

    Damon immediately called a meeting with his closest advisors. Felix, Jin, and Aria, who had become an invaluable member of his team, gathered in his office, their faces grim."We have a problem," Damon announced, his voice hard. "Clearance Colt is trying to take over Yorkers City Bank.""Colt?" Felix exclaimed, his eyes widening. "That son of a bitch! I knew something was up.""How is he doing it?" Aria asked, her voice calm but steely."He's been buying up our stock, using shell corporations and offshore accounts," Damon said. "He's been playing us like a fiddle.""We need to stop him," Jin said, his fingers flying across his keyboard. "I can try to trace his transactions, expose his illegal activities.""It's too late for that," Damon said, shaking his head. "He's already got a significant stake in the bank. If we don't act fast, he'll have enough votes to take control.""What do you suggest we do?" Felix asked, his voice laced with desperation.Damon paused, his mind racing. He kne
