Ven sat down alone in his room after the ceremonial activities that delayed his rest. He was still recovering but just had to go for the voting. That appeared his only opportunity and was never going to lose it. Slowly his mind drifted to his conversation with Elisa, and he found himself blushing and getting hot..... It was truly rekindled....

.............

Ven’s chest rose and fell slowly, his breath still a little labored, but stronger than the faint, fragile rhythm Elisa had found when she first saw him here. Days had passed since she arrived, yet every time she looked at him, the memory of that night replayed in her mind: the phone call summoning her in hushed urgency, the rush to this secret place, the sight of him pale and broken on the bed, surrounded by strangers who treated him as though he were something more than just a man.

He stirred slightly now, eyelids fluttering open, and found her there, sitting quietly at the edge of the bed. She was always there, day and night. She

  • CHAPTER 185: confrontation

    The atmosphere in Henry Brown’s office was as pristine as always, matching his aura. Behind the large desk sat Henry, reviewing a thick stack of documents, his glasses perched neatly on the bridge of his nose. He exuded the calm, composed demeanor of a man who had mastered the art of appearances.The double doors to his office swung open abruptly without a knock.Henry glanced up, catching a glimpse at the interruption. The sight of Ven storming in, his expression thunderous, made him lean back slightly in his chair. He hadn’t seen this raw, unfiltered intensity from his nephew since the shareholder’s meeting.“Ven,” Henry said smoothly, removing his glasses and setting them aside. “What brings the new Chairman to my humble office? Finally here to consult your uncle for advice?”Ven ignored the pleasantry and strode directly to the desk, his hands slamming flat on the polished wood with a sharp thud. “Cut the act, Uncle,” he growled. “We need to talk about my father.”Henry’s brows a

  • CHAPTER 184: In Prison

    The air inside the Correctional Facility was thick with the stench of various sweat, a constant reminder of where ambition without restraint led. He had dressed simply today, no three piece suit, no signs of wealth or the power he now wielded as Chairman. He just put on black turtleneck and jacket. But even stripped of the trappings of his position, Ven’s presence carried an undeniable weight, a quiet intensity that made even hardened inmates glance at him with wary curiosity as he passed.The guard stopped before a reinforced door with a small, grimy glass panel. “He’s inside,” the guard muttered. “Fifteen minutes. That’s all you get.”Ven didn’t reply. He stepped through the door into a small visiting room with a single table positioned for formality. Victory Brown sat on the other side, dressed in an orange jumpsuit, his once immaculate appearance reduced to unshaven facial appearance and sunken eyes. He looked up as Ven entered, a smirk tugging weakly at his lips.“Well, Victory

  • CHAPTER 183:Faces Behind The Shadows

    The three men who are the faceless figures who had manipulated the Brown Empire for decades sat down for another meeting,as Ven is far becoming a thorn in their flesh. To the world, they were titans of influence in separate domains. In reality, they were the silent architects of chaos.The first anonymous Kand, President of Kand Media Group and Davis father-in-law,leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest. His sharp suit and meticulously combed silver hair gave him the appearance of a respectable businessman, but his eyes were cold, calculating. His media empire had the power to destroy reputations overnight,a tool he had wielded ruthlessly for years.The second anonymous, Geli Farrow, a seasoned politician whose career spanned decades, sat with a sly smile playing on his lips. His influence stretched across legislative halls, law enforcement, and regulatory bodies. He was the puppeteer behind many of the legal maneuvers that had crippled opponents of

  • CHAPTER 182: Unmasking

    The files had been encrypted, but Daniella, with her usual confidence, had bypassed the protections in under an hour. Now, the data sprawled across their screens in a series of project files, financial logs, and most damning of all the recordings.“Play that one again,” Ven said, voice low but edged with a deadly calm.Daniella clicked on the file labeled "Operative Coordination Priority." A video began to play, but with clear audio. Davis’s voice filled the room, masked with urgency:“This has to be handled cleanly. If the shareholders lose faith in me, we lose the Brown Empire to that bastard.”Another voice responded, deep and unidentifiable, as though passed through a modulator: “You were given what you needed, from trying to eliminate him to convincing shareholders and voting for you. The only way is for you to eliminate him..."Ven’s hands tightened into fists on the table. He forced himself to stay composed, but Bryan, seated beside him, saw the flare of fury in his eyes.“T

  • CHAPTER 181: Infiltration

    Bryan had been patient after days of quiet observation, memorizing routines, and piecing together every small detail about Davis’s schedule had led to this night. He knew Davis’s arrogance was his greatest weakness.Davis had spent the morning in the courthouse, fighting tooth and nail to bury the mountain of corruption charges the prosecution had brought against him. Bryan had anticipated that the proceedings would drag late into the evening. If his calculations were right, Davis would not return to his office tonight. That gave Bryan the perfect window.He sat in his vehicle parked two blocks away from Davis office, gloved hands resting on the steering wheel, eyes fixed on the building’s front entrance. The last of the executives had left an hour ago, leaving only the night staff and the ever-vigilant security team.''Time to move,'' he muttered under his breath.He stepped out of the car, a slim black backpack slung over his shoulder, and walked with the purposeful stride of a man

  • CHAPTER 180: Hunting

    The moment Davis slammed the door behind him, Ven didn’t waste another second. He reached for his phone, scrolled to a name he’d saved months ago, and hit call. It rang only once before the line connected.''Chairman, Cyrus’s deep, sardonic voice came through. To what do I owe the honor so soon? Don’t tell me you miss me already.''"This isn’t a social call,'' Ven said sharply. “He slipped.”There was a pause on the other end, the sound of leather creaking as though Cyrus had leaned forward in his chair. “Slipped? Who?”“Davis, Ven replied. “He came here, blustering as usual, trying to intimidate me. But in the middle of his little performance, he mentioned something,he said he’d submitted to the shadows.''The silence that followed was heavy, weighted with meaning. Then Cyrus’s tone shifted, losing its playful edge. “He said that? Out loud?”“Yes, he tried to walk it back immediately, but it was too late. He’s connected to them directly."On the other end of the line, Cyrus exhaled s
