The Ultimate Dominance

Chapter 7

A black sedan slowed alongside him as Cain replaced his cell phone back to his pockets and a familiar voice crept from behind..

Doctor Rhode rode down, each step echoing with what seemed like a mixture of respect and curiosity for such a young man with powerful medical skill.

“It's late, how about you hop into my car for a ride? I would be more than glad to take you anywhere in the city." He motioned with a calculating voice.

Cain twitched slightly.

"Thank you. But I would prefer to clear my head with a walk!" Cain turned down the request politely.

Rhodes’ brow arched. Surprise flickered across his features.

It wasn't normal for anyone to turn down the offer from one of the most powerful medical prodigies in the country.

But he didn't push further, quickly masked by his usual composure.

The doctor straightened, curiosity sharpening.

"Alright if you say so!"

He produced a small envelope, sleek and official-looking. “But at least take this. It's a ticket to the World Doctors’ Conference. The pinnacle of our profession. I'm sure you would learn a lot and of course, have a lot to share yourself "

Cain stopped for a fraction of a second. He took the envelope casually, eyes scanning the city beyond. “Thanks. I’ll see if I can make time.” His tone was detached, like accepting a gift cost him nothing.

Rhodes blinked. Most would have lingered, asked questions, shown interest. Cain simply continued walking like it meant nothing.

Rhodes stared as his figure moved. He needed to find out more about this young star by all means possible.

While Cain walked out of a car broke the rhythm of the night. It stopped, doors opening silently. Aria Hart stepped out, her presence shifting the atmosphere instantly. She moved differently now—confident, commanding, and impossibly alluring.

“Cain,” she said, voice soft yet layered with authority, apology, and something else beneath. “I… I’m sorry. For what happened back there. For the humiliation and I don't know how I could make it up to you."

She extended her hand, holding the Hart family card. “Please… accept this from the Hart family. It's a token of our appreciation and it would give you access to anything that is owned by the Hart family."

Cain shook his head, lips curving faintly. “I don’t take gifts. I only wanted to help.” His reply was short and firm

Aria froze, surprise flickering across her face.

It was a gift that anyone would die to have, but he turned it down like it was nothing.

Something rose inside of her and quickly, she schooled her looks into neutrality.

"Well then, is there anything in the Hart household that you would love to have?"

She stepped closer, subtly tilting her body, and a part of her boobs slipped.

For the first time, Cain palms grew sweaty and the temperature seemed to grow a degree hotter.

Aira was effortlessly seductive. Her calm and smoothing words, her cool skin, it took every ounce of discipline not to request for her.

"Not for now!" His looks soon returned back to his usual poker expression.

“You’ll owe me one… in the future,” he said simply. No hesitation, no flirtation returned.

Her breath hitched slightly, stunned at the restraint, the control, the unspoken power behind his calm.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the city, Sia sat at the head of a mahogany table, Family members and cronies crowded around, voices buzzing with excitement.

Kane leaned back, smirking. “I have secured tickets for the top 200 CEO conference that is holding tomorrow This will seal everything for us and raise Sia to the next step, together with second generation companies in the city”

Applause rippled through the room. “Finally, someone who’s a real man,” Fred, Sia's brother, said, voice thick with disdain. “Not like… him.”

Heads nodded. “Cain? That worthless fool. The only thing he knew how to do was drain the family.one cousin added, with a sharp sneer.

“Why haven’t you made a move to seal this relationship?” Beauty, Sia's cousin inquired.

"Yes!" Other echoed murmurs.

"He's rich! Sensible and has everything you could ever think of in a man, besides, everyone already thinks you both are together."

Sia’s expression remained neutral, lips tight. Inwardly, she knew the truth—she hadn’t truly cheated Cain that dAy. Every act, every lie, was calculated. She only needed Cain to accept the divorce, to finally leave her alone and it worked, though it felt like she had made the biggest mistake ever, it was all for the best.

“I’m waiting… for the right time,” Sia lied smoothly.

Just then, a commotion at the far end of the room drew everyone’s attention. Guards dragged a trembling servant forward, shouting, “He… he was stealing a necklace!”

Sia’s gaze swept over the delicate piece in the servant’s hands. “Worthless,” she said, voice sharp, tossing it aside. “Its just a trinket that Cain gifted me on one of our anniversaries, claiming it's connected to his family."

Kane's eyes narrowed, expression unreadable. “Worthless?” he repeated.

He picked up the necklace and surveyed it closely, his eyes popping out from his pockets.

"If I'm correct, this is definitely the Ethereal gem necklace worth over a billion dollars and owed by a lost dynasty."

Silence hit the room like a hammer. Eyes widened, breaths caught. Every whisper died. Servants froze. The family froze. Sia froze.

"It can't be." Their eyes all popped.
