AN HEIR! FOR AN HEIR!
Chapter 14The Eugene Group headquarters was a place that exuded wealth and power.Inside the boardroom, a long mahogany table stretched across the center, its polished surface gleaming under the glow of a crystal chandelier.High-backed leather chairs surrounded it, filled with men and women whose faces were carved with unease.The walls were adorned with golden-framed portraits of ancestors, business awards, and towering shelves of rare books. The atmosphere was heavy, stifling, as though the air itself bent under the weight of expectation.Around the table, nervous ticks echoed through the silence, heels tapping against marble floors, pens clicking, murmurs whispered.“For months, Grandma has never called a family gathering. What could be wrong now?” Alex Eugene muttered to Ariel, who sat beside him, equally puzzled.Before she could respond, the double doors swung open with a slam. Men in black suits lined up at the entrance in perfect formation, their sharp presence demanding sil
The return of Lord Adrian ll
Chapter 13Five SUVs entered into a tarmac road filled with towering trees and vibrant flowers, the air almost too still, as if nature itself bowed in silence. Adrian’s gaze followed the endless stretch of road until his eyes caught the massive structure rising ahead.The mansion was colossal, its high black gates adorned with intricate golden carvings of dragons and phoenixes, symbols of power and rebirth. Behind the gates, the estate sprawled like a kingdom of its own. The walls rose tall and intimidating, built from polished marble and obsidian stone, reflecting the faint light like a silent warning.As they approached, soldiers armed and uniformed surrounded the entire property, their formation flawless, their presence suffocating. The moment the gates opened, they moved in unison, lining up in two rows along the driveway. Their boots struck the ground in a thunderous rhythm before they raised their hands in salute.The line of saluting soldiers stretched like a wall of steel and
The young master's return
Chapter 12The Zhao airplane touched down smoothly at Diamond Airline, one of the prestigious subsidiaries of the Diamond Group, Drake’s empire.As soon as the wheels kissed the runway, an aisle was rolled to the entrance. Outside, a formation of men in sharp black suits stood waiting, their heads bowed in perfect unison even before the cabin doors opened.Five black SUVs were already lined up at the terminal, doors swung wide open, engines humming as if the vehicles themselves knew their masters were arriving. The airline had been completely cleared, no passengers, no staff, not even a whisper of civilian presence.Adrian descended the stairs slowly, his eyes wide with awe. What he had seen at Madam Graciela’s hotel had been impressive, but this… this was on an entirely different scale. The sheer power and control on display made his chest tighten.“Welcome, Young Master!” the men in black intoned, their voices booming in perfect synchronization.Drake appeared behind Adrian, his pre
The price of power!
Chapter 11Adrian smiled at Valentina as they swayed to the music. For days, his mind had been weighed down, his strange new abilities, the looming threat of his identity being exposed, and the bitter sting of his wife’s betrayal.He had forgotten what it felt like to breathe without the weight of the world pressing down on his chest.But now, for the first time in what felt like forever, he was genuinely happy. Not faking a smile. Not pretending for the sake of appearances. This… this was real.The guests clapped and smiled, their eyes following the pair as they moved gracefully under the spotlight. But then, just as it had happened at the hospital, everything shifted.The world around him dissolved into darkness. The warm glow of the chandeliers, the vibrant colors of the ballroom, all gone. In their place was a grotesque, unsettling vision: the inner workings of every person in the room laid bare before him. He could see their bones, their muscles, their organs. Their voices becam
The night we danced
Chapter 10Aaron dropped to his knees.In that moment, he didn’t care about his reputation or his expensive suit. Neither of those things mattered compared to what could happen if Mr. Zhao lost his temper.He knew exactly who he was dealing with. The Zhaos didn’t need to raise their voices to destroy someone.If the man in the black eye mask wanted, he could pull a gun right there, shoot him dead, and the room would stay silent. That was how untouchable the Zhaos were.“I’m such a fool, Mr. Zhao. Please… forgive my foolishness,” Aaron stammered, bowing low in fear.Valentina’s gaze shifted to Adrian, curiosity laced with a flicker of fear rose within her. She knew her mother was fortunate to have ties to the Zhao family, but she never imagined that Mr. Walker Zhao would allow the heir to walk into her party so casually.She has heard the stories, more like whispers, that the Zhaos were more than powerful businessmen; they were predators in suits. Anyone who hurt one of their own paid
when power walks in! Trash shuts up!
Chapter 9Drake clenched his fist as he pushed open the heavy door to the luxurious suite in the Vaughn mansion. His voice was sharp with anger.“Ariel and Lucian are not to be let off that easily.”Adrian walked towards him with a smile tugging at his lips. He moved over, placing a hand on Drake’s shoulder.“Let them enjoy their time while it lasts,” he said calmly. “I’ll make them pay when the time is right.”Drake’s lips curled into a cold smile. He knew Adrian wasn’t bluffing. The Zhao influence ran deep, across politics, business, and the underworld. No one escaped them, no matter how hard they tried.A knock echoed against the door. Without waiting for permission, a man in a black suit stepped in, bowing slightly before speaking.“This is what you requested, boss.” He handed over a sleek box, with the Zhao family emblem gleaming in gold across its lid.Drake accepted it with a knowing smirk. “A new suit, Lord Adrian. Custom-tailored by the very best.”Adrian raised an eyebrow. “
