In the Remington penthouse, the air was thick with tension. Victor Remington Sat at the head of a long,polished dining table,his fingers Steepled in thought. Dion,dressed impeccably as always,stood at attention before him.

"Dion," Victor began,his voice carrying the weight of a decision. " The time has come for you to fulfill your duty to the Remington name".

Victor only wanted to use Dion as a means to increase his wealth.

Dion's heart sank as he knew what was coming. He had hoped to delay this moment, to have freedom or at least more time with Eden.

" Father ", Dion said carefully, " I understand the responsibility, but there's more I need to discuss.

Victor's Stern gaze bore into Dion."Speak" he said.

Dion hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I want to pursue my own path to prove myself without the family's influence. Eden and I have plans_".

Victor cut him off with a cold dismissive wave of his hand." Eden Greene is of no concern to us. Your marriage to Sophia Cortez will solidify our family's power.

"But father,I don't like Sophia, I like Eden. Moreover, I'm only 18". Dion said.

"You do not need to like her to marry her Dion After all you are doing this for Your family, this will help us secure our place in the business world. You must help your family Dion. If you don't help your family, who will." Victor was trying to manipulate Dion because he knew that Dion was always firm in his decisions and that could cause a problem for him in the future.

Dion's heart aches at the mention of Sophia, a girl he barely knew but whose Union with him was meant to strengthen their business empire and establish connections.

"I won't do it ,Father," Dion said, his voice firm. " I won't sacrifice my happiness for the sake of this family."

Victor's eyes flashed with anger and he rose from his chair."You are a Remington,Dion, and you will do as you are told".

As the two locked eyes, a silent battle raged within Dion's mind. He knew that defying his father would come at a great cost, but he could not let go of his desire for freedom and dreams with Eden.

Meanwhile, across the city in the dimly lit Greene mansion, Beatrice and Amelia Sat in the cold,ornate sitting room, their faced etched with determination.

"Eden" Beatrice began, her voice as cold as ice,"the time has come for you to fulfill your duty to the Greene legacy ".

Eden, her heart heavy with dread, stood before her mother and sister.

" Mother*,Eden said, her voice trembling "there's something I need to tell you".

Eden took a deep breath, summoning all the courage she could muster." Mother, there is a competition for Computer programming. I want to participate, the winner will get a scholarship to a very prestigious university. "

Amelia hearing this was very angry and scared because she knew Eden was a genius when it came to the Computer, she suddenly thought " if Eden gets this scholarship, she will be better than me. She is already more beautiful, she must not participate in this competition ".

Beatrice looked at Amelia and saw that she was angry. She said" No Eden, you are not taking part in any contest or competition ". Beatrice did not want Eden to outshine Amelia, so she immediately refused to let Eden take part in the competition.

Eden was angry" I want to choose my own path, to live on my own terms mother. I have plans with Dion_"

Amelia scoffed, unable to contain her bitterness any longer. " Dion Remington? You think he will save you from this life? . He is just like the rest of them ".

Beatrice's eyes narrowed and her tone turned icy. " Your future has been decided, Eden . You will marry Samuel Thornfield and secure our family's legacy ". Eden knew very well that she was merely a pawn in her mother's game.

" I won't do it,Mother",Eden said, her voice defiant, " I won't sacrifice my Happiness for you or Amelia" She said with anger in her eyes.

Beatrice rose from her seat, her anger palpable. " You are a Greene, Eden, and you will do as you are told".

As the tension in the room escalated, Eden was determined to leave and live on her own terms. Little did she know that she would still be stuck in that Mansion for a time.

[Remington Penthouse]

The night was thick with tension as Dion stormed out of the Remington penthouse, his heart pounding with anger and despair. He had defied his father, Victor, the patriarch of the family's vast business empire, and it was a rebellion that came at a cost he couldn't yet fathom.

Dion's sleek, black sports car roared to life as he sped away from the imposing skyscraper that housed his family's fortune. His vision was blurred by tears of frustration, and he gripped the steering wheel tightly. He had to get away, away from the suffocating expectations, away from the life that was being forced upon him.

As he sped through the Windy city streets, his mind raced with thoughts of Eden. the love of his life and their desire for freedom. The memory of her smile and their secret hideout provided the only solace in this dark moment. But fate had other plans.

Around a sharp bend in the road, just as anger and confusion clouded his mind, a blinding light pierced the night . Before Dion could react, a massive collision sent his car skidding off the road. Metal crumpled and glass shattered as his world was thrown into chaos.

The pain was excruciating. Dion felt as of he was being torn apart ab she struggled to maintain consciousness as he was trapped within the wreckage. Blood tricked from a deep gash on his forehead, and his breathing was labored.

[ Before the accident.]

In the opulent surrounding of the Remington penthouse, Victor Remington stood before an expansive window,his face a mask of calculated determination. He dialed a number on his smartphone, his voice cold and devoid of emotion.

" It is time to take care of the problem,"Victor said, his voice carrying a weighty command . " Make sure Dion never becomes a threat to this family. "

The person acknowledge the order with a single word: "understood."

Back at the scene of the accident, Dion teetered on the brink of death,unaware of the sinister forces at play. He was helpless and vulnerable.

As Dion's consciousness wavered on the precipice of darkness.

As Dion's consciousness wavered on the precipice of darkness, he was dimly aware of a group of shadowy figures surrounding his mangled car. Their movements were Swift and coordination, a stark contrast to the chaos that had engulfed him moments earlier.

In his delirium, he could hear muffled voices,their words a distant murmur. They spoke in hushed tones as they assessed the wreckage,their attention focused on him. One of them, a tall and imposing figure, appeared to be giving orders.

"We need to get him out of here,quickly,"

the leader said his voice commanding.

With remarkable precision, the group of bodyguards worked together to extricate Dion from the twisted metal that trapped him. The process was agonizing,and every movement sent waves of pain coursing through his body. Yet

, he clung to consciousness, his will to survive stronger than ever.

As they finally freed him from the wreckage and laid him down gently on the cold pavement, Simon vision cleared just enough to see the faces of his saviours. They wore dark suits and earpieces, their features hidden in the shadows.

"Who. . . who are you?" Dion managed to croak,his voice barely audible.

The leader, a man with steely eyes and an air of authority, leaned down, his expression indiscernible. " We are here to help you, Mr. Remington. You are going to be alright. "

Dion's world faded to black once more, but this time it was not consumed by despair. He clung to a glimmer of hope, the knowledge that someone had come to rescue him when he needed it most.

{}

Eden Sat in her dimly lit room. For hours, she had been trying to escape. But all efforts proved to be futile. Guards patrolled the hallways making it hard to escape.

Eden touched one of the scars on her body, a testament to her mother's cruel words and her sister's relentless envy. The pain she felt was not physical; it was a deep gnawing ache that radiated from her core.

As she sat in the suffocating silence of her room, Eden found herself talking to herself, a way to cope with the isolation and despair.

" Eden," she whispered,her voice trembling," you can't stay here forever. You have to fund a way out. You have to be strong."

Tears welled up in her emerald eyes as she continued to speak to herself, a fragile lifeline in the darkness.
