CHAPTER 15
“The recreational facilities include a football pitch, tennis and basketball courts, an indoor sports hall, a private cinema, a bowling alley, billiards, and a games room. There is also a dedicated event hall with a capacity of approximately two hundred guests.” “Two hundred?” Lucas asked. “Yes, sir. It was designed for exclusive private celebrations, formal banquets, business gatherings, and parties hosted by the owner. It has its own reception area, dining arrangements, and professional event facilities. The venue is intended for private use rather than public bookings.” A satisfied smile crossed Lucas's face. “That sounds useful. If I'm going to host a party, I want somewhere worth inviting people to.” “I'm certain your guests will appreciate it, sir.” Richard continued with the remaining facilities. “The estate also has its own private equestrian centre. The stable complex includes individual horse stalls, grooming and washing areas, tack rooms, feed storage, and ded
CHAPTER 14
The main gates opened fully, revealing a magnificent estate stretching beyond the limousine's windows. As the vehicle followed the curved road towards the mansion, Lucas took in the carefully maintained gardens, tall trees, sculpted hedges, and elegant outdoor lighting. A multi-tiered marble fountain stood at the centre of a vast circular courtyard, its water sparkling beneath the afternoon sun. Beyond it stood the mansion. Pale natural stone, enormous glass windows, elegant balconies, and interconnected wings combined to create a residence that looked more like a modern palace than an ordinary home. Terraces extended from the upper floors, while landscaped courtyards softened the grandeur of the architecture. The limousine slowed as it approached the grand entrance. Lucas noticed the people waiting outside before the car had completely stopped. Nearly a hundred members of staff stood in perfectly organised rows beneath the covered driveway. Their uniforms were immaculate,
CHAPTER 13
The limousine continued along the private road, carrying Lucas toward the home that now belonged to him.He had expected to see the mansion soon, but Richard Whitmore's calm expression suggested that there was still more to come.“Mr. Whitmore,” Lucas asked, glancing through the tinted window, “how far away is the estate?”Richard smiled politely. “We are approaching the first security entrance, sir. The main residence is considerably farther ahead.”“There's another gate?”“Yes, sir. This entrance controls access to the entire private road leading to Aurelius Estate. No unauthorized vehicle can enter the grounds beyond it.”Lucas looked outside again.Before he could ask another question, the limousine slowed as a formidable security checkpoint came into view.A high wall of pale stone extended in both directions, reinforced with dark metal barriers and discreet surveillance equipment. A pair of heavy black gates stood across the road, flanked by secure guardhouses and elevated obser
CHAPTER 12
Lucas was waiting near the hospital reception with Adrian when a familiar figure appeared at the entrance.Richard Whitmore had arrived.He wore a perfectly fitted dark suit, polished shoes, and a calm expression that changed the moment his eyes landed on Lucas. He walked straight toward him, his steps quickening slightly as he approached.“Mr. Bennett,” Richard greeted him warmly. “Good morning. I hope you're feeling much better today.”“Much better, thank you.”Richard extended his hand, then paused for a moment, almost as if he were reconsidering whether such a gesture was enough.“Sir, if you don't mind, may I shake your hand properly? It is a genuine pleasure to finally meet you in person.”Lucas looked mildly surprised but smiled and shook his hand.“Of course, Richard. You don't have to be so formal with me.”“I appreciate that, sir.” Richard's smile widened. “But after everything involved in securing Aurelius Estate for you, I must admit that meeting the owner in person is a m
CHAPTER 11
The following morning, Lucas was finishing breakfast when a gentle knock sounded at his hospital room door.“Come in.”A neatly dressed man entered, carrying a slim folder. He appeared to be in his early thirties, with polished shoes, a composed expression, and a professional bearing.“Good morning, Mr. Bennett. My name is Adrian Cole. I've been assigned as your personal caretaker during your remaining stay at the hospital. I'll be available whenever you need assistance, while ensuring that you have sufficient privacy.”Lucas studied him briefly before nodding.“Good morning, Adrian. I hope you understand that I don't need someone following me around all day.”“Of course, sir. My responsibility is to make your stay more comfortable, not to make you feel crowded. I'll attend to your requests and remain available when needed. Otherwise, I'll give you space.”“Good. I think we'll get along.”Adrian confirmed Lucas's preferences, explained how to contact him, and asked whether he needed a

[MISSION COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY.]Lucas stared at the notification, and before he could say anything, the system screen transformed. A series of new messages appeared, each one more exciting than the last.[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully completed your first mission and exceeded the required expenditure.

No further payment or auction procedure is required.]For several seconds, Lucas simply stared at
