The announcement left everyone shocked and confused. The COO position was next to the CEO. Mr. Alfred was always sceptical about giving anyone that position because the person would mostly be in charge of the family business.

The only person he trusted to do it well was Julia. Unlike others, she had few to no flaws and wasn’t greedy. But Julia had refused it many times because she wanted to pursue her career as a teacher.

Victoria faced Mr. Alfred. “Grandfather, what are you saying? You will gi

    Marcus’ eyes flicked to Llona’s stance, he was calculating the angle of his arm, the distance between the gun and Rosa’s skull, it was too close. He could target Llona very well, but if Rosa made any wrong move underway she would get hit and die. He didn't want to take the risk. Instead, Marcus spoke as he lowered the gun a fraction.“Okay,” he said. “You and your dog can walk away from here, and just leave Rosa.”Kingsley scoffed. “What’s your trick?”“Shut up,” Marcus said. “There’s no trick. You can keep her as a shield until you reach the door. But before you step out, you let her go.”Llona glanced at Kingsley.Kingsley hesitated, then nodded.Llona pressed the gun harder under Rosa’s chin. “Fine. Don’t try anything stupid. One funny move and I lodge a bullet in her head.”Marcus didn’t move. “Same goes for you. Touch her , and I wll break every bone in your body before I kill you.”Llona hauled Rosa upright and dragged her toward the door.“Sir,” he said. “You can leave.”K

    Marcus tried to use his power again, but all to no avail. Kingsley was more than he thought. He had underestimated him. The machines in this room were sophisticated and refined. Something here was suppressing his power completely. “Die!”. Kingsley pressed the red button.He grinned, waiting, eager for skulls to burst and their bodies to drop.Rosa’s face tightened as she waited for death. While Marcus already also accepts his fate. Five seconds passed. Ten. Twenty.Nothing happened.Kingsley’s grin collapsed. His eyes widened as he stared at the remote, then at them.“That’s impossible,” he muttered. “It should have worked instantly.”Kingsley froze, shock flashing across his face. He smashed the button again, this time frantically, his thumb jabbing it over and over.Yet, nothing happened!.“What the fuck is happening?” he snapped, turning on Llona.Llona looked just as stunned. He snatched the remote from his hand, slammed it against his palm, and pressed it himself Nothing hap

    "Yeah," Kingsley murmured as he moved closer to him. Kingsley's hand was already on her, his fingers slid under the thin fabric of her blouse, pushing aside the lace of her bra until his palm cupped her breast fully. He brushed his thumb over her nipple, circling it with casual cruelty, watching her face for every flicker of reaction.He pinched lightly, rolled the sensitive peak between his fingers, and felt her body tense against the restraints.Rosa couldn't do anything except her silent cry. From the other chair, Marcus jerked weakly, he threatened, "Your hand will go for that."Kingsley didn’t even glance at him at first. He just smirked, gave Rosa’s breast another slow, possessive rub, squeezing it hard this time, then finally turned his head."You angry, kid?" he said, amusement dripping from every word. "Don’t tell me you two are dating. She's, like, over ten years older than you?"He let the question hang in the air, fingers still moving on her breast. Rosa’s cheeks burne

    “Marcus… Marcus, are you okay?” His head lifted slowly. Rosa was sitting a few meters ahead of him. Her hands were tied behind her back. Her hair was messy and her eyes were red “I’m fine,” Marcus said hoarsely. “You?” She nodded quickly. “I’m okay. I think so. Thank God… Thank God.” Marcus tested the cuffs again, this time pushing power into his arms. Pain shot through his wrists, sharp and electric. He hissed and stopped. “Fuck, what's that!”. Just then, slow footsteps echoed through the room. An old man stepped into view. He was dressed simply but expensively, a long dark coat resting neatly on his shoulders. His hair was white, slicked back, and his eyes were calm in a way that felt unnatural. Behind that calm was something cold and absolute. He stopped in front of Marcus. “Don’t bother,” the man said mildly. “Those are electronic magnetic handcuffs. They were programmed and can only be uncuffed by a remote. I can even electrify you to death with it”. The old man smil

    The next morning, Marcus was already awake and preparing to leave. He quietly gathered his things when Julia, who was also awake, looked toward him. “Marcus, I have something to tell you.” He turned around. “I already told the police to release Steve,” Julia said. “Just as Grandfather wished.” Marcus nodded calmly. “Whatever your wish is, it's okay.” Julia smiled faintly before becoming serious again. “Remember, Marcus, if you ever need anything, I'm always here.” Marcus scoffed lightly. “Okay.” He picked up his things and made his way toward the door. Ms. Leah was still in the room, and she was already awake as well. She watched Marcus with a displeased expression. “I don't understand how you always manage to get away with things,” she said. “And somehow, every man who enters Julia's life turns out to be fucked up, except you.” Marcus stopped briefly and looked at her. “Ms. Leah, I love your daughter. I would never do anything to jeopardize her career.” He paused. “That t
