The moment Ethan threw the silver needles onto the tray, Doctor Andrew Coleman looked at Simon as if the ward had just been polluted.

Coleman pulled on a pair of gloves with slow, superior movements. “This is what happens when hospitals allow emotional relatives to wander into restricted wards,” he said, turning slightly so every nurse could hear him. “A patient is dying, and someone decides shiny pins and village superstition can replace medical science.”

Simon stood beside the tray, quiet and

  • THE CHAIRMAN'S TRUE AUTHORITY

    Control of Arranguare did not explain the restricted military seal or the combat techniques from the Continental War. Instead, the revelation made those mysteries more dangerous.If Simon had hidden an entire corporate empire, what else had he removed from his history?Beside him, Clara remained silent.She remembered every opportunity Simon had possessed to impress her. He could have arrived at the estate in an expensive convoy or introduced himself through his wealth. He could have ended every insult by mentioning that he controlled the Arranguare group.He had done none of those things.Simon had allowed her to know the man who cared for Pa Gallagher, protected her family and stood beside her without asking for anything in return.Even when she invited him to the banquet and explained how important the Arranguare chairman was, he had listened without mocking her ignorance.“You are really the chairman?” Clara asked quietly.Simon turned towards her. “Yes.”“Why did you never tell m

  • THE BOW THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

    Marcus’s eyes remained fixed on Simon.The guests followed his gaze, but none of them understood why one of Arranguare’s most powerful executives was staring at a former fish seller.Eleanor stepped aside, expecting Marcus to explain that the chairman remained outside. Instead, he walked past her without answering.He passed Damien and the Sinclair representatives. Damien prepared to greet him, but Marcus did not stop.Roland also moved forward. “Mr Levan, it is an honour to finally—”Marcus continued walking, snubbing Roland.Even Victor, the host of the banquet, received only a respectful nod as Marcus passed him.The Arranguare legal director, financial director and review committee members followed in complete silence. Their attention remained on the man seated beside Clara.Marcus finally stopped before Simon.Clara looked between them, confused. Simon did not rise or offer his hand.Then Marcus lowered his head.The senior Arranguare representatives bowed with him.“Chairman,” M

  • THE CHAIRMAN WAS ALREADY AMONG THEM

    Eleanor’s friends looked away, unwilling to challenge a serving major who had just personally confirmed Simon’s importance.Clara led Simon towards the dignified seats near the Ashbourne family. Victor watched him pass, still unable to connect the quiet man before him with everything Ethan had described.Simon sat beside Clara.Across the hall, Damien Sinclair studied him with concealed hatred. The failure of the assassination had already placed several plans in danger, yet Simon had entered the Ashbourne estate as though nothing had happened.Damien could not understand what had happened on the old industrial road. Eight former soldiers had been sent to kill Simon, and several of them had carried firearms. Yet Simon was sitting inside the Ashbourne hall without any visible injury, while none of the assassins had reported back.Had Simon defeated them? Had the police interrupted the operation? More importantly, were the men dead, hiding or already in custody?Ethan’s defence of Simon

  • ELEANOR'S COSTLY MISTAKE

    “What is he doing here?” Eleanor demanded.The conversations around her stopped.Clara continued walking. “Simon is my guest.”“At this banquet?” Eleanor asked. Her gaze travelled across Simon’s simple clothes. “This gathering is for important members of the Ashbourne and Sinclair families including Arranguare’s senior representatives.”“One does not need an expensive suit to enter as my guest,” Clara replied.One of Eleanor’s friends covered her mouth with a false smile. “Perhaps he misunderstood the invitation. The low grade workers are using the entrance behind the kitchen.”Another woman examined Simon with open disgust. “The chairman is about to enter this house. Must the first thing he sees be someone Clara collected from a fish market?”The women had never met Simon before, but his name and background were already familiar to them. Eleanor had spent weeks telling her friends that Clara had become attached to a former fish seller who possessed neither wealth nor social standing.

  • THE BANQUET FOR AN UNKNOWN CHAIRMAN

    The Ashbourne estate had never been placed under such strict security.The Arranguare security officers controlled every entrance to the property. Guests surrendered their phones, smartwatches and other communication devices before entering the Ashbourne main hall. Each person also signed a confidentiality agreement forbidding them from revealing anything discussed during the banquet.The gathering was closed to the public. Even the household workers had been reduced to a small group approved by the Arranguare group.Inside the hall, Victor stood among twenty selected Ashbourne advisers and influential Ashbourne family members. Clara, Ethan and Eleanor remained near him, while Roland moved between the guests as though the banquet had been organised in his honour.Damien arrived with four Sinclair representatives.Victor’s expression hardened when he saw him, but he did not order the guards to remove him or deal with him. The investigation into the assassination attempt remained secret

  • THE WOUND PA GALLAGHER SAW

    Simon returned to Betford Central Hospital shortly after sunrise. He had changed his torn shirt, but the pain beneath his left shoulder had grown stronger since leaving the police station.Pa Gallagher was awake when Simon entered the private ward. His weak eyes moved from Simon’s face to the stiffness in his shoulder.“You are hurt again,” Pa said. “Do not tell me it is nothing.”“It is an old wound,” Simon replied as he approached the bed. “The bandage probably shifted.”Genevieve entered with Pa’s morning medication and noticed the dark stain spreading beneath Simon’s shirt. She placed the tray down and pointed towards the empty chair.“Sit,” she ordered. “You can pretend with him, but you cannot pretend with me.”Simon obeyed without argument. Genevieve carefully removed the old dressing she had put there and found that the scar beneath it had reopened.“The wound is deeper than it looks,” she said while cleaning it. “Whatever you did last night placed too much pressure on the dam
