Roland Kwan glanced at the phone in front of him, the line open, the speaker muted for now. He exchanged a look with Harold, and for a moment, there was a sudden silence that fell upon both men.“You’re sure about this?” Roland asked quietly, breaking the silence.Harold’s chuckle was low, bitter. “What loyalty do we owe Chance? He’s already chosen his own path, and he treats us like some second class citizens. At this point, the Bernards are our only way of getting back at him, and if they’re willing to cut us in… we’d be fools to refuse.”Roland said nothing. He stared at the silent phone, the muted line that carried the weight of betrayal. For years, he had played the loyal worker, the supporter, the shadow. But now? Now he saw the tide shifting. All they wanted was to hold on to the influence and power that the O' Connor Empire had bestowed upon them ever since the death of Steven O' Connor but now that Chance had stepped in, he was already taking away all of that, and they weren

The press conference had been carefully staged—marble podiums polished to perfection, the Regal Motors insignia gleaming beneath the spotlights, and a crowd of reporters buzzing with anticipation. The whispers had already spread across the business world: Regal Motors was no longer in freefall. All it's debts had been cleared and the Bernards had lost their hold on it—all thanks to Chance O' Connor.Chance stood tall at the front, every inch the poised heir of the O’Connor empire. This would be the first big decision he had taken on his own since he assumed the position of heir to the O' Connor Empire, and he couldn't have been more proud than he was at that particular moment.Cameras flashed as he announced it—firm, unwavering.“Effective immediately, Regal Motors has entered a strategic merger with the O’Connor Group of Companies. This alliance ensures Regal Motors’ stability, growth, and a secure future.”A wave of murmurs rippled through the audience.Chloe sat in the front row,

Gary followed Brenda through the long corridor, his mind still reeling from the revelations of the previous night.But as he walked deeper into the heart of the Stannis headquarters, those thoughts gave way to something else entirely.The ceilings stretched impossibly high, lined with chandeliers that looked as though they had been carved out of crystal and starlight. Floors of white marble gleamed beneath his shoes, veined with gold so subtle it almost looked alive. Every door they passed was guarded—not by ordinary men, but by figures in tailored suits, their earpieces glowing faintly, their eyes sharp and calculating.A chill slid down his spine. This wasn’t just wealth. This was control.“This…” Gary muttered under his breath, awe slipping into his tone despite himself, “…this isn’t just an office building.”Brenda glanced back at him, her heels clicking softly against the marble. Her lips curved in a knowing smile.“Of course not,” she said. Her voice carried a quiet pride, but

The campus was still buzzing with chatter long after the bullies had limped away. Chance had drawn half the student body into a circle around him. Some whispered about his strength, others about his audacity. But one pair of eyes saw something else entirely.From the crowd’s edge, a tall figure stood stiller than most, his cap pulled low and the shadow of his hood concealing much of his face. His gaze wasn’t fixed on Chance’s fists or his defiance. It was locked on the glimmer.The ring.For just a moment during the scuffle, when Chance’s fist had arced through the air, sunlight caught the band on his finger. It had burned brighter than mere gold should, an almost ethereal glow. The stranger’s pupils narrowed. Ordinary metal didn’t do that.Keeping his expression flat, he slowly raised his phone, pretending to scroll like everyone else recording the fight. But his lens zoomed in, sharp and steady, catching frame after frame of the ring pulsing faintly as Chance delivered the final blo

By the next morning, the story was everywhere. From online blogs to mainstream news outlets, even the university’s social media boards—everyone was talking about the attempted assassination of Julia Banks and how Chance, had intervened at the very last second to save her life.Students at ESU whispered about it in corridors and classrooms, piecing together details from shaky news clips and anonymous posts. To many of them, Chance was no longer just the quiet, reserved heir with a sharp mind for business—he was also now a hero.When he walked across campus that day, it was as though the air itself shifted around him. Heads turned. Some clapped him on the shoulder as he passed; others simply nodded in silent respect. A few even called out his name with admiration, their voices rising above the usual morning chatter.“Chance, you’re incredible!” one of the juniors exclaimed.Chance offered faint smiles, but he said little in return. His heart was still heavy with everything that had happ

“Philip…” Julia began softly, still trying to gather together the right words to say.Even if an attempt had been made on her life that very night, she wasn't going to let that ruin this moment that she now had to finally get to talk with Philip.Philip looked up at her, his face still hollowed by sorrow. But after what had happened that night, after someone made an attempt on Julia's life, he knew that it was time to bury his grief alongside Gary and accept the fact that he's never going to come back.Julia moved closer, her own heart twisting at the sight of him. “I know,” she whispered. “And I know too well the pain of losing a son. Nothing… nothing compares to it. But I also know that shutting yourself away isn’t the answer. And neither is lashing out.”Philip flinched at her words, his gaze dropping. “I… I also owe you an apology,” he said, his voice hoarse. “For earlier—for nearly letting my grief turn into negligence. Imagine if Chance hadn't been there, only God knows what wou
