19. The Bet
The three sons of Cassius stood in front of them, their eyes spitting venom at them.“Travis didn't break your nose hard enough if you still have some audacity,” Khloe said.Ambrose’s jaw ticked. “Who do you both think you are? You're so cocky just because your father is the head, huh?”“Precisely,” Khloe smirked.Dallas chuckled. “It won't last. Ambrose will be the heir soon, and when he becomes head, you'll all bite back your words.”Travis raised his brow.“And who said he'll be the heir?” Khloe asked. “Has Grandma confirmed it or is it just your delusion?”“Who else would it be? Travis, who just got into the family and knows nothing whatsoever, or you, a lucky sheep brought into the family?” Ambrose said.“You'll have more than a broken nose if you dare insult any of us again.” Travis stepped forward.Riley shrank behind Khloe.“You were just lucky in that fight. I'll kick your ass anytime and anywhere. So, you better watch it.” Ambrose threatened.“Prove it then.” Travis said.Am

“How dare you show yourself here?” He growled at Travis.“I could ask the same,” Travis countered.“You two know each other?” Cassius frowned.“He's the dimwit who did this to me.” He yelled, pointing at his nose.“Oh, so he's the jerk you were talking about?” Khloe said, her lips curling up in a smile.“Bitch, no one asked for your opinion.”“A black eye would have gone well with the nose though.”“You–”“Enough,” the woman beside him interrupted. “Keegan, control your son. He just got here, and he already broke my son's nose.”Wait, son? Travis looked closely at the guy and noticed the resemblance to the woman. She was his mother, then Cassius had to be his father.Eva stepped forward. “I think you should be the one doing the controlling here. Your son started the fight.”“I did nothing. He just beat me up in the bathroom,” he yelled.Khloe raised her brow. “Ambrose, we know you. Do you really think anyone would believe that?”“Still, he didn't have to break my son's nose,” his moth
17. Who'll be the Heir??
Five people sat around a rectangular table in one of the studies at the Novaks' Manor. There were two men and three women.Keegan sat, dressed in a white T-shirt. Cassius sat opposite. Beside him was his sister, Sage, while their youngest sister, Zyra, sat beside Cassius.At the head of the table, an old woman sat on the largest seat, addressing them. She looked younger than fifty years old. Her skin was not too wrinkled thanks to her early skincare routine during her youth days. Her hair showed some strands of gray hair, though.She was Jocelyn, the Novak's Matriarch.“The Baxters have started pushing. We need to meet up with the competition,” said Jocelyn, peering into the laptop in front of her. “Make sure the project is ready this week, Keegan.”“I understand. It'll be ready as soon as possible. This will definitely bypass them.” He replied.“Make sure it does.”Cassius cleared his throat, drawing their attention to him.“Any problem?” asked Jocelyn.Cassius said. “So, the Baxters
16. The Novak's Manor
Driving into the manor was like entering a castle.The manor itself was long and massive, composed of white limestone and floor-to-ceiling glass panels. Large balconies with frameless glass railings extended from upper floors. As they neared the gate, which seemed to be made of silver, the gate opened automatically. A series of tests was run on the car, and after that, they drove on.Travis caught his breath. The compound stretched wide. A garden, surrounded by hedges, covered one side, hosting flowers of various species that Travis had never seen in his life. On either side of the driveway stood Cupid-shaped fountains.The Novaks truly lived up to their legacy. The whole thing was magnificent. The driveway divided into different branches. Keegan took the one leading to the underground garage. Except for some minor differences in width and decor, it looked exactly like the garage at Keegan's mansion.Keegan frowned at a nearby red Porsche after they had alighted. “Great, Cassius is
15. Arrival at Nova Island
Travis gripped the armrest of his seat as the plane accelerated down the runway, pushing him deeper into his seat. The jet slowly ascended. Travis felt weightless for a moment. His stomach rumbled a bit. Then, the jet leveled, and he felt normal again. “Does your stomach feel weird? It's usually normal if it's your first time,” said Eva. “I'm fine now,” replied Travis, rubbing his abdomen. He looked out through the window. The city looked so tiny from up here. Clouds and streaks of the orange setting sun mingled, creating a beautiful view in the sky. It was like flying in a fantasy world. He would never forget this magical experience. Those who traveled by air frequently were lucky to experience this all the time. “We should be in the city in seven hours. The weather looks good,” said Keegan. The workers served them their preferred refreshments, foods, and drinks. Travis dug into his cheeseburger. “Remind me. Why did your mother call this meeting again?” asked Eva, who was still

“I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Take down the video and help me,” she said, her voice croaking as if she were crying. Travis asked. “Is this some kind of trick? What are you talking about?” “My shop is my only business, please… it's my only source. Please call them off… I'm sorry.” “What are you talking about?” “Take down the video.” “Goodbye.” Travis cut the call. What was that about? Barely a minute later, the phone rang again. This time, it was Nate calling. He answered. “Yo, how did you do it?” asked Nate enthusiastically. “You too? What are you talking about?” “You don't know? Someone posted a video of what happened the day madam slapped you.” Travis frowned. “Seriously?” “Yes. Everyone is giving the eatery negative reviews because she disrespects her employees. No one wants to go there now.” “Hmph, serves her right. She had it coming,” scoffed Travis. “That's not even the best part. The person also found out she was also into drug trafficking and used the eatery as
