Leo stiffened. His face remained unreadable, but his eyes glinted with something cold.Amelia breathed hard. “Ever since we arrived at Spring Hills, you’ve been acting like you precede me. Like you control me. I don’t like it.”He took a breath. “If protecting your time and trying to save you from your father’s wrath is controlling, then I apologize, Ms. Amelia.”Her expression softened a bit. She looked away, feeling the weight of her earlier tone. Her voice dropped. “Maybe I crossed the line.”Leo looked up.She rubbed her arm. “There’s just something about that guy I can’t place. I don’t know, Leo… he feels oddly familiar.”Leo frowned, stepping closer. “Familiar? How?”She shook her head. “I don’t know. But when the manager yelled at the receptionist… he said the man was their boss’s special guest.”“So?” Leo dismissed. “He’s just someone lucky enough to know Sir Gregory. That doesn’t make him important.”Amelia sighed and pressed two fingers to her temple. “Maybe you’re right. Bu

The manager and receptionist gasped together. The air felt heavier suddenly.“Sir Gregory?” The manager blinked rapidly, his voice unsure. “You dare mention his name like that?”The receptionist nearly choked. “He’s so rude and arrogant!”Leo gestured for Amelia to head toward the elevator, whispering, “Let’s just go, Amelia.”She nodded and took some steps then stopped. She didn’t move. Her feet were rooted. Her head turned back to the reception and her wide eyes studied Nathan again. She didn’t understand what was happening, but something told her not to look away.The manager stepped forward. “Who are you to want to see my boss?”“I’m his guest,” Nathan said plainly. “Nathan.”The manager frowned, confused. Just then, his phone rang. He fumbled it from his pocket and answered, “Hello, Sir Gregory. Beautiful afternoon, sir!”“Has my guest arrived?” Gregory’s voice was cool and commanding.“Um, not yet, sir. What’s his name, please?”“Nathan,” came the calm reply.The manager’s jaw d

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
