Dave Talks
CHAPTER FOURTY EIGHT— DAVE TALKSThe studio lights softened.Not dimmed.Not cut.Softened — the way producers did when they knew something irreversible was about to be said.Marvin Cole sat very still. For the first time that night, he did not hold a card. The questions were finished. The show was officially at its end, but everyone in the room knew the truth:This was no longer an interview.This was a reckoning.Marvin cleared his throat.“Gentlemen… as we close tonight’s episode, we give each guest one uninterrupted moment. No questions. No challenges. Just your voice.”He turned to Jude first.Jude shook his head slightly.“No,” Jude said calmly. “Let Dave speak.”The audience murmured.Dave looked at his brother — surprised, wary, unreadable. Then he stood.The movement alone caused a ripple across the studio. Camera operators adjusted instinctively. Producers leaned forward behind the glass.Dave placed his hands on the desk, knuckles whitening.“I wasn’t planning to say this,”
The Talk
CHAPTER SEVEN:THE TALKThe studio seemed to shrink around them.Marvin didn’t rush the moment. He understood television — he understood silence. The question hung in the air like a live wire.“Do you ever fear losing everything you’ve built?”Dave shifted first. His fingers tapped once against the arm of his chair, a habit he hadn’t shaken since their early startup days. Jude noticed it immediately. He always did.Marvin gestured gently.“Take your time.”Dave nodded once, then leaned forward.“Fear?” he repeated. “Yes. Every day.”The audience stilled.“Anyone who tells you they’re not afraid is either lying or already finished,” Dave continued. “Markets don’t sleep. Power attracts enemies. Success paints a target on your back.” He exhaled slowly. “I’ve watched companies bigger than Fusion collapse overnight — not because they were weak, but because they got comfortable.”Jude glanced at him, surprised by the openness.Dave went on.“I fear complacency more than failure. Losing every
What's Ur Inspiration
CHAPTER FOUTY SIX— WHATS UR INSPIRATION The studio lights faded back in, bathing the stage in a warm gold hue as Marvin Cole stood up, moving to center stage with a fresh card in hand. The cameras followed him, and the audience leaned forward as the broadcast resumed.Marvin smiled broadly.“Welcome back, viewers. We’ve covered rivalry, achievements, and legacy. Now it’s time for something more personal — something millions of people have asked us to bring to the table.”He turned to the twins, still seated across from each other, still tense, still unreadable.“Dave. Jude. The question is simple… but powerful.”He lifted the card.“What has been your greatest inspiration throughout your journey?”The audience hummed with anticipation.Jude shifted slowly in his seat. Dave’s expression hardened briefly, then softened in a way that caught even Jude by surprise.Marvin motioned gently.“Who wants to go first?”Neither moved.Then, unexpectedly, Jude raised his hand slightly.“I’ll go.”
The Room Was Raged
CHAPTER FOUTY FIVE— THE ROOM WAS RAGEDThe studio lights dimmed again, a soft purple glow washing across the set as the applause slowly faded. The host, Marvin Cole, leaned forward in his polished chrome chair, hands clasped, eyes bright with the thrill of steering the most watched interview of the year. The camera light blinked red. They were live again.Jude adjusted his jacket. Dave cracked his knuckles once beneath the table. The tension between them had become so thick that even the studio audience sensed it. They sat up straighter, waiting for what would happen next.Marvin smiled, smooth and professional.“Now… before the break, we touched on achievements. Wild and Fusion are—without exaggeration—the two hottest privately-owned brands in the country. But gentlemen,” he tilted his head, “viewers want to know something deeper. Something real.”A murmur rippled through the audience.Dave raised a brow.“Real, like what?”Marvin chuckled, tapping a card on his lap.“Like whether th
The Night Of The Twins
CHAPTER FIFTY SEVEN — THE NIGHT OF THE TWINS The audience lights dimmed to an intimate blue glow, casting a soft radiance across the cavernous studio. Cameras pivoted gracefully, red recording lights flickering like watchful eyes. A violin-heavy theme played from the overhead speakers — dramatic, elegant, unmistakably grand. Big tv companies, bloggers,Radio stations, Newspapers have been watching It was the night millions had been waiting for.For the first time since the corporate rivalry had consumed the nation’s business landscape, both Jude and Dave — the legendary twins — would sit side by side on a single stage. Not in a boardroom. Not in a negotiation chamber. But on “The Verena Cole Exchange,” the country’s most influential prime-time talk show.Verena Cole herself walked out to roaring applause. Elegant in a deep emerald gown, her presence commanded the room instantly. She was known for interviewing presidents, billionaire founders, celebrities, and once even a Nobel commit
The Crossroads Of Wills Bank
CHAPTER FOUTY THREE— The Crossroads of Wilss Bank Wilss Bank PLC had barely celebrated its first quarter when the pressure around it began to shift. The applause had not died down, but beneath the surface, new expectations formed like slow-moving storms on the horizon. Investors wanted faster growth. The public wanted proof that Wilss Bank wasn’t just another shiny brand without real substance. And competitors — especially Fusion — watched every move like hawks waiting for the slightest misstep.Inside the headquarters, the energy felt different from the previous months of pure excitement. The halls buzzed with determination now, not celebration. Every team knew they weren’t just running a bank; they were trying to build a financial empire from the ground up in an industry where survival itself was an achievement.Leo arrived at the weekly executive review earlier than usual, a rare moment of stillness settling around him. He studied the glass table, the reports neatly arranged in fr
