His shoes tapped against the gleaming marble floor as he stepped inside. A fresh scent lingered in the air, roses, mint, and something expensive. Crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceiling. The place hummed with soft music and quiet elegance.He walked to the reception desk and met the eyes of a lady in a navy uniform, her blonde hair pulled tightly into a bun.“Good afternoon,” he said politely. “I’d like to book a room.”She looked up and scanned him from head to toe. Her lips curled slightly.“Really?” she asked, her voice tinged with sarcasm.Nathan frowned. “Yes. I want the best room you have. The exclusive suite.”The receptionist blinked. Then her lips parted in surprise before she scoffed and crossed her arms.“Sir, the least room here is twenty thousand dollars a night. Are you sure you’re in the right place?”“I said I want the exclusive suite,” Nathan repeated calmly.She looked around like someone waiting for a hidden camera crew. Her expression hardened. “That’s a hu

He strode over, yanked it open, and pulled out a long, narrow box. He dropped it on the bed with trembling fingers and sat beside it, his legs folded under him.He opened the box.Three syringes sat there, each one filled with a hard, amber-colored liquid.Velthrax. That was the name. A banned neurostimulant in liquid form once used to create super soldiers. When injected, it triggers a 90-second surge of violent rage and memory blackouts. Highly illegal in the city and dangerously addictive.He stared at them.Then, for a second, he almost shut the box. But the image of Nathan’s smug, confident smile – the way he stood before him with the dignitaries clapping for him like he was some golden boy – flashed in his mind.The sound of the minister’s applause, that brief glance of pride he gave Nathan… not him. Never him.Heath’s breath caught.“AHHHHH!” he screamed, stabbing the syringe deep into his thigh. The liquid surged into him and he tossed the needle away like poison.But it wasn’

Heath stood frozen, his back to the grand wall and his father’s harsh glare slicing through him. His cheek still stung from the slap, and his collar was wrinkled from Jeff’s grip.He slowly looked up, pain flickering in his eyes. But he said nothing. Silence wrapped itself around him like a noose, tighter with every passing second.Tina stood nearby, her hands clasped tightly, trembling. Her eyes glistened with a mother’s worry, but fear chained her still. She dared not step too close.Jeff finally released Heath with a grunt of disgust, shoving him back."You have failed woefully, Heath," he muttered through clenched teeth.Tina finally took a timid step forward. "What… what happened, Heath? How could you fail in delivering the presentation?"Jeff barked before Heath could speak. "I’ll tell you what happened, his presentation was trash!""It wasn’t," Heath snapped, eyes burning with frustration. "I got five votes. Nathan also got five. It was the Minister’s vote that made the differ

After a moment, Nathan's mind drifted to the rare herbs he was still looking for. Then he said, “I need your help with something.”Liera looked at him, her brows raised slightly in curiosity. “What is it?”He told her about the six remaining herbs he was searching for.She furrowed her brow. "They seem like ancient and rare herbs, but I'll do my best to help you find them.”Nathan nodded slowly, the corner of his lips barely lifting in gratitude. “Thank you.”As the car drove on, Nathan's thoughts drifted to his life five years ago which he could hardly recall.His brows furrowed as he pressed his palm against his temple. So much of his past was like shattered glass, fragments without shape, scattered in the wind.“How long have you known me, Liera?” he asked, turning to her, his voice soft but filled with weight.Liera looked at him again and responded. “For seven years, Nathan.”He nodded slowly. “You said I was a teenager when I created Dynasty Group.”“Yes,” she replied with pri

Thelma hissed through her teeth and leaned forward, eyes burning. “She’s not thinking straight. You should listen to me.”“I can’t,” he said again, standing now. “It’s unethical. And against the law. I will not go against my legal boundaries for anyone.”Thelma glared at him, jaw clenched, seething with anger. “You’re our family’s lawyer. If you want me to keep using your services, you’ll do as I say.”Mr. Lennox’s eyes hardened. “Then I guess this will be our last meeting, ma’am.”Thelma stood up abruptly, her chair scraping backward. “You’re a fool,” she spat, pointing a finger at him. “You’ll regret this. All of this.”He simply watched her as she turned and stormed out, her heels loud and unforgiving on the tiles.Outside, she stopped and looked back at the building, her chest rising and falling. Her fists curled at her sides as thoughts raced through her mind.“I have to find a way,” she muttered under her breath. Her lips curled bitterly. “They can’t get back together. Not while

The wind whispered through the nearby trees in the environment as Natalia stood a few feet from Nathan, her breath catching in her throat. His voice had been sharp, too sharp for a misunderstanding he was having.Her eyes widened, confusion flooding her face. Why would he think so vile of her?She shook her head quickly, trying to clear the rising panic in her chest.“No, Nathan. You're misunderstanding me.”But Nathan scoffed, dismissing her with a lazy wave of his hand as if she didn’t deserve to explain.“No. And I guess you didn’t come to my father’s grave earlier because you remembered it was his death anniversary,” he said bitterly. “You came with a mission.”Her brows drew together, lips parting in disbelief. “What do you mean, Nathan?”He took a step closer, his eyes cold and unreadable.“You knew I would be there. You came just to check what I’m up to. To find a reason to talk me out of the presentation I would make but I guess I didn't give you the perfect chance to carry ou
