THE ASHES OF ORION
The fire was gone, but its shadow remained.Dawn broke slowly, spilling weak sunlight over the hospital ruins. The orange glow of night was replaced with a dull gray haze. The smell of smoke still hung in the air, bitter and choking. Black ash floated like snowflakes, drifting down on the gravel, the grass, the burned walls that still smoked in silence.Marvin sat on the ground, his back pressed against a broken concrete block. His shirt was torn, his skin streaked with soot, his face was pale. His chest rose and fell heavily, every breath was rough against his throat. He had no strength left—not to cry, not to scream, not even to stand.He was simply there.His hands hung limp on his knees, trembling slightly. His lips were cracked, his voice gone. He had shouted through the night, fought the fire with everything he had, and in the end… nothing. The hospital stood in ruins, and the flames had stolen his world.The firefighters had done their job. Their hoses sprayed arcs of water th
MARVIN'S CHOICE
The fire outside swallowed the night.Marvin sat stiff, his face was pale, his chest heaving as the orange glow from the hospital reflected in his eyes. His hands trembled against the chair’s arms. Every crackle of the distant blaze cut into him like knives. The smoke rising into the sky was not just smoke—it was his world burning.Slowly, almost unwillingly, he turned his head toward Daniel.Daniel was calm, his lips curved into a cruel smile as he sipped the last of his drink. The glass clicked gently against the table as he set it down, and the sound was unbearable in Marvin’s ears. It was as if Daniel was toasting the destruction.Marvin’s knuckles turned white. His Synapticore Force burned under his skin, itching to erupt. He could rise now, crush Daniel’s throat, tear through the enforcers, and end this nightmare at its source. His rage begged for it.But then Stella’s face flashed in his mind. The way she had smiled at him that morning. The way she had held their child close,
DANIEL'S DEMAND
The restaurant was so still that the ticking of the wall clock seemed louder than thunder. The restaurant was so still that the ticking of the wall clock seemed louder than thunder. Marvin sat rigid in his chair, his knuckles pressed white against the arms. His eyes were locked onto Daniel’s, refusing to look away, though his mind churned like a storm.Across the table, Daniel twirled the little red-button device with casual fingers, spinning it slowly as though it were a toy and not a weapon capable of destroying lives. His smirk never left his face.Marvin leaned forward, his voice was hard as steel.“What is it you really want, Daniel?”Daniel’s smile widened, but his eyes stayed cold. He reached for his drink, lifted it, and took a deliberate sip. The glass clicked loudly when he set it down again. He leaned back in his chair, savoring the power in the moment.“It’s simple, brother,” Daniel said, each word was coated with venom. “Five billion dollars. Half in liquid cash. Half in
THE THREAT OF BLOOD
The room was heavy with silence. Marvin’s eyes burned into Daniel’s, while Daniel’s smirk stretched wider, enjoying every ounce of discomfort his half brother showed.“Have a seat,” Daniel said smoothly, swirling the drink in his glass as if he were hosting a friendly dinner and not threatening his own blood.Marvin’s jaw tightened. He didn’t move. His blue-gray eyes were sharp and unyielding. “Go straight to the point, Daniel. What do you want?”Daniel’s smile thinned, but his voice remained calm, laced with mockery. “I said… have a seat.”Marvin’s lips curled into a sneer. “And I told you to stop wasting my time. What do you want?”The tension spiked in the air like a blade drawn in slow motion. Then, before Marvin could blink, a massive hand gripped his shoulder. The weight was crushing, pressing down with brutal force.Marvin gritted his teeth as one of Daniel’s bodyguards shoved him firmly into the chair opposite Daniel. The wooden chair creaked under the sudden impact. Marvin’s
THE INVESTOR'S CALL
The Investor’s CallJayden attended to Stella till night, and the night in the hospital room carried a rare calm. After a long time of heartbreak, Stella Orion had found herself wrapped once more in the arms of Marvin Richmond—the man she had thought lost forever. They had talked, cried, and kissed, letting years of longing pour out in one desperate embrace.For nearly an hour afterward, they sat side by side in quiet peace. Stella’s head rested on Marvin’s shoulder, her fingers were laced through his, while their baby slept soundly in the cot beside them. The world outside—the battles, the betrayals, the enemies—felt like a distant storm. Here, in this room, there was only love, grief, and hope, woven together like fragile threads of glass.But peace rarely lasted long in Marvin’s life.A soft vibration broke the stillness. Marvin’s phone lit up on the side table. Stella flinched at the sound, her body tensing as though danger itself had reached through the night to call them. Marv
THE MAN SHE BURIED, THE MAN SHE LOVED
Stella Orion’s chest rose and fell sharply. Her lips parted, but no words came out. The man before her—his face bruised, his eyes burning with recognition—was someone she had buried in her heart long ago.Her breath quickened.“No,” she whispered, her gaze darting to the small cot where her son slept peacefully. “You… you’re not real. You can’t be him. Marvin Richmond is dead.”The words tasted bitter even as they left her mouth. She had mourned him, cried rivers for him, prayed for his return in moments of weakness, but she had also accepted that he was gone. Now here he was, standing in front of her like some cruel trick played by the universe.Her instincts screamed at her to get away. She jolted up, intending to move back, to put distance between herself and this impossible vision.But Marvin moved quickly. His hands—gentle yet firm—pressed her shoulders, easing her back into the chair. His voice was calm, though urgency simmered beneath the surface.“Stella, listen to me. You’re
