Lorenzo told her stories of his childhood before the incident, of his grandfather’s stern training sessions in the outer grid, and the lonely years of walking in the dark.

In turn, Roxana shared pieces of her own past—the pressure of stepping into the Hawthorne dynasty, the loneliness of losing her mother, and adjusting to her stepmother’s way of life.

They laughed, and they let down every single wall they had ever built.

But as the deep hours of the night began to bleed into the pale gray ligh

  • There’s A But.-part2

    Thomas leaned forward, resting his forearms on the mahogany table, his eyes gleaming with malicious glee."What did you honestly think you could achieve, Lorenzo?" Thomas sneered, his voice dripping with condescension. "You’ve never been part of the corporate game. For years, you were busy hiding in the dirt. You're broke, your vision is entirely limited, and so is your pathetic input. You brought a butter knife to a war zone, and now everyone at this table gets to watch you bleed out."Nelson Lancaster offered a cold, satisfied chuckle, chiming in from beside his son. "At least he’s consistent. The prodigal child returns, only to prove why he was exiled in the first place."Lorenzo didn't flinch. He sat in silence, his dark eyes locked onto Thomas with an unnerving calm that should have warned his cousin to shut his mouth. But Thomas was too blinded by his own arrogance to see the trap he had just walked into.The board members began to nod in agreement with Thomas, whispering that L

  • There’s A But.-part1

    The boardroom remained dead silent, the air thick with anticipation as Eduardo Lancaster lowered his chin, signaling the head butler to proceed.The butler stepped forward, his gloved hands resting against the leather-bound master folio. He cleared his throat, a sharp sound that echoed off the high vaulted ceilings, and began to read aloud the foundational terms of the trial that had been set into motion the last time."Some time ago, the Lancaster Family acquired a subsidiary—a crumbling, heavily indebted logistics firm that had been hemorrhaging capital for three consecutive years," the butler explained, his voice solemn, measured, and entirely devoid of emotion. "Internal corruption was rife, suppliers had fled, and every senior director had abandoned ship. Both Thomas and Lorenzo were granted equal access to the firm's historical records, internal audits, and operational files."The butler paused, his eyes sweeping across the tense faces of the board members before returning to th

  • Seat Of The Empire.-part2

    Nelson Lancaster, sitting beside his son, decided to step in to rescue the momentum. He slammed his palm flat against the mahogany table, glaring across at Lorenzo with undisguised contempt. "Enough of this arrogance, Lorenzo!" Nelson barked, his voice sharp. "Stop trying to act like you're some untouchable king who can stroll back into the family and demand respect. Look at you! You’re completely outmatched. Instead of sitting there trying to intimidate your cousin with cryptic threats, you should be preparing to humble yourself. When this meeting is over, you should beg Thomas to be sympathetic enough to grant you a minor position—maybe a regional manager down in the shipping yards. It’s the only place someone of your drifted skillset belongs!"More chuckles rippled through the board members. They leaned in, whispering among themselves, writing Lorenzo off as a relic of a bygone era who had foolishly walked into a slaughterhouse. Lorenzo remained entirely silent. A faint, humorles

  • Seat Of The Empire.-part1

    The atmosphere inside the executive boardroom on the top floor of Vanguard Apex was heavy, and filled with the unmistakable electricity of impending war.Polished mahogany tables reflected the stark, clinical glare of overhead crystal chandeliers, casting faint shadows across the faces of the senior board members and relatives who filled the leather-backed seats.At the far end of the table sat Thomas Lancaster, leaning back with an air of arrogant, untouchable triumph. Beside him sat his father, Nelson Lancaster, wearing a thin, condescending smile that didn't quite reach his cold eyes.A few seats down, sitting in absolute, statuesque silence, was Lorenzo. Dressed in a sharp, black suit that accentuated his broad shoulders and lethal posture, he looked like a coiled spring.His dark eyes stared straight ahead, entirely unbothered by the murmurs and side-long glances rippling through the room.Thomas couldn't help himself. He shifted in his seat, turning his head to look at Lorenzo w

    Lorenzo told her stories of his childhood before the incident, of his grandfather’s stern training sessions in the outer grid, and the lonely years of walking in the dark.In turn, Roxana shared pieces of her own past—the pressure of stepping into the Hawthorne dynasty, the loneliness of losing her mother, and adjusting to her stepmother’s way of life.They laughed, and they let down every single wall they had ever built.But as the deep hours of the night began to bleed into the pale gray light of dawn, the fragile, peaceful warmth in the room shifted.Lorenzo propped himself up slightly on one elbow, looking down at Roxana, who was resting her head against his chest, her fingers lazily tracing the contours of his collarbone.The lines of his face hardened."Roxana," Lorenzo began, his voice dropping into a solemn, heavy tone.Roxana stopped tracing his skin. Her body went instantly rigid, her dark eyes snapping up to meet his face as an intuitive dread coiled tightly in her stomach.

    Roxana shifted slightly, pulling her legs up onto the plush mattress as she turned to face Lorenzo fully. The initial shock of the revelation—that the quiet, steadfast man who had stood beside her through every boardroom war and public humiliation was actually the sole heir to Vanguard Apex—had completely dissolved.She looked at him, studying the sharp lines of his face, the dark, intense depths of his eyes, and the lingering tension in his broad shoulders."Your reasons are valid, Lorenzo," Roxana said softly, her voice breaking the quietness of the room with sincerity. "I can’t blame you. Not after everything you went through, not after escaping death at such a young age and having to live in the shadows just to survive."She reached out, resting her palm gently against his warm cheek, her thumb tracing the edge of his jawline."I’m not mad at all," she continued, a reassuring smile touching her lips. "If anything...I am going to continue to support you in whatever you want to do.
