Jayden stepped further into the office, his every move was measured.

Vincent gestured to two sleek leather chairs near a black glass table. “Please, Mr. Ross. Make yourself comfortable,” he said warmly.

Jayden nodded and sat down slowly, his posture was relaxed but sharp. Vincent followed, crossing one leg over the other, with hands folded like a gentleman hosting a guest—not a manipulator hiding weapons behind his smile.

“I must say,” Vincent began, “we’ve had investors before… but none with your reputation.” His voice was rich and smooth, like warm honey. “You’ve built things, Mr. Ross. Real things. Not just portfolios. Empires.”

Jayden was confused now, I mean he was a fake and this personality, this Kylian Ross was just a week old.

"I am sorry, how did you get to know about my reputation?"

"Your bio of course. I looked at your profile on the internet when you expressed some interest in project Cognivault." Vincent Arceneaux replied.

"Oh." Jayden Cole understood now. That profile V

  • WHEN A THIEF KNEELS

    Vincent Arceneaux grunted, angry and bitter. He clenched his jaw and glared up at Jayden Cole. His eyes were filled with hate—but also fear. He was on his knees now, still trembling from the force of Jayden’s Synopticore power. His pride was shattered, his control gone.He didn’t want to speak.Didn’t want to admit defeat.But he had no choice.Jayden’s glowing blue eyes were still burning through the Mindscape, calm and powerful like stars made of ice. Vincent felt their weight. Felt the force behind them. And it crushed his resistance like glass under steel.With his voice rough and low, Vincent finally asked, “What do you want?”Jayden didn’t move at first. He let the silence stretch just a little longer. Then he stepped forward. One slow step. Then another.The light from his body shimmered brighter.The air around him pulsed like waves of pure thought.And when he spoke, his voice was soft—but it carried power. Deep, hypnotic power.“I want you to return the ten trillion dollar

  • YOU PICKED THE WRONG MIND

    Vincent Arceneaux didn’t back down.His glowing eyes burned brighter now, his face twisted in effort. “Give me the money,” he said, voice like thunder inside Jayden’s head. “Four hundred million. Right now.”The pressure inside Jayden’s skull increased. It was like a thousand hands pressing against his brain, trying to squeeze it into submission.“Do it,” Vincent growled. “Wire the funds. Speak the words. Make it happen.”Jayden’s body wavered. His legs buckled. He staggered slightly.Vincent smirked.“See? You’re already cracking. You can’t resist me. No one can. Not in here.”Jayden dropped to one knee.His breathing slowed.His hands shook.He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. His fingers hovered over the power button.Vincent’s grin widened.“That’s it,” he said. “You know you’ve lost. Go ahead. Open it. Send it. Four hundred million. I want every cent.”Jayden pressed the button.The phone lit up. A bright white screen.And for a moment—he stayed still.His head l

  • MIND GAMES

    Jayden didn’t move. He stayed seated, calm, while Vincent stood in front of him, fists tight, breathing like a man holding back a storm.Then Jayden smiled.Not wide. Not fake.Just a small, knowing smirk.“You think this is new to me?” he said, voice smooth as steel. “Vincent, I’ve seen men like you before. All charm, all power, all noise. But I look deeper.”Vincent Arceneaux said nothing.Jayden leaned forward now, resting his elbows on the table.“I know what you really are,” he continued. “You talk big. You dress like a king. You name your project something grand—Cognivault. Sounds impressive. But deep down, you’re scared.”That hit something.Vincent’s eye twitched.“You’re scared no one sees the truth. That this whole thing—this empire you’re building—is balanced on a lie. No no, a heist of the mind. And if someone says no? If someone like me doesn’t give you what you want?”Jayden tilted his head slightly.“You crack.”Vincent’s lips parted slightly, as if to speak, but no sou

  • MAKE ME

    A man like Vincent—proud, powerful—was easy to read if you knew where to look.Vincent Arceneaux leaned back in his chair, smiling as if Jayden’s offer hadn’t bothered him at all.“Two million,” he said again, slowly, with a calm voice and a businessman’s grin. “Of course. That’s generous for a first step.”Jayden gave a polite nod. “I prefer starting small. Let the partnership earn its growth.”Vincent nodded, fingers steepled in front of his face. He looked thoughtful. Relaxed. But Jayden could see the tightness in the man’s jaw. The slight twitch in his temple. He wasn’t fooling anyone.Still, Vincent kept the act going.“It’s smart to test the waters,” he said. “Cognivault’s a deep sea. A megaproject. Some people dive in. Others dip their toes first.”Jayden just listened, letting the silence stretch.Vincent leaned forward, his smile was still there. “But may I ask,” he said smoothly, “why exactly two million? Why that number? Not five? Not ten?”Jayden raised an eyebrow slightly

  • WELCOME MR ROSS

    Now in the Orion family hospital, the lights in the emergency room were bright. Nurses and doctors rushed around, their voices were calm but fast. Stella lay on a silver operating table, her body pale and still. Her belly was open. Her blood was being cleaned and replaced. Machines beeped. A surgeon called out orders.Dr. Vega stood over Stella, hands steady, eyes focused. “Scalpel. Suction. Clamp,” she said.A nurse passed her tools quickly. Another doctor gently helped guide the baby out.Seconds passed like hours.Then—A loud cry filled the room.A tiny, wrinkled baby boy was lifted into the air, covered in blood but very much alive.“He’s out!” one doctor said. “The baby is breathing!”Dr. Vega looked down at Stella’s still body and nodded. “Get the baby cleaned up and in a warmer. Keep oxygen flowing. We’re not done yet.”They had saved the baby. Now they had to save the mother.An hour later, the news reached Jayden Cole.He sat in the shadows of the Orion family hospital wait
