Michael not only had to work tirelessly to boost the rapid growth of their business, but he also had to face an even greater challenge, securing the loyalty of seven of the most powerful families in the city. These were not the mid-tier clans they had dealt with during their early rise. These were the elites who controlled the flow of the economy, the movements of the streets, and the hidden channels of influence that newcomers were not meant to touch.

To reach them, he needed power.

To keep them, he needed strategy.

To defeat them, he needed brilliance.

And so, Michael and his team launched into the next stage of their mission. While Mira worked to expand their operations, Barry and Jace gathered intel, and Celia handled communication and arrangements with their growing number of allies, Michael personally handled the negotiations with the families. Each meeting took a piece of his energy, every smile had to be calculated, every handshake measured. They weren’t dealing with desp

    Later, everyone gathered in the living room. The tension from the previous night still clung to the air like a thin layer of frost, it was unspoken but undeniable. Barry sat on one couch, arms crossed, staring at nothing in particular. Jace leaned against the wall near the window, jaw tight, clearly doing everything in his power not to look in Barry’s direction. Mira stood apart, flipping through something on her phone, calm to the point of indifference. Celia hovered near the armchair, eyes moving between everyone, already exhausted…And the day hadn’t even begun. Michael stood at the center of the room. “Alright.” He said evenly, his voice cutting through the silence. “We’re not carrying last night into today.” That alone made a difference. Whatever else was happening between them, Michael’s presence grounded the group. He laid out the plan clearly. Plan A first. This plan consisted of diplomacy and negotiation, presenting themselves as respectable partners with leverage.

    Celia let out a long sigh and, without warning, stepped forward and lightly punched both of them on the shoulder, first Jace, then Barry. “Are you kidding me?” She snapped. “We have way more pressing matters at hand, and you two are fighting about who’s been all over who? Seriously. Get it together.” She threw her hands up in frustration. “Mira probably doesn’t even know that you two are being silly over something like this. Right, Michael?” She turned to him, expecting agreement. Michael didn’t answer. His silence alone was enough to kill whatever heat was left in the room. He looked at all of them once, his expression firm and controlled. “Everyone go to bed.” He said calmly. “It’s been a long day.” Jace scoffed under his breath and grabbed his coat. “I need air.” He muttered, already heading for the door. It slammed shut behind him. Barry hesitated, then nodded. “Goodnight.” He said quietly before heading upstairs. The house finally went still. Celia exhaled again, the tens

    Just then, Celia stepped into the office. “Oh, you’re back, Barr.,” She said with an easy smile, her voice light enough to soften the tension lingering in the room. Barry turned from the desk, surprised to see her. “Yeah.” He replied, returning the smile. “Just got in a few minutes ago.” They exchanged a few casual words, about the cold, about dinner, about how the city never really slept even under layers of snow. After a moment, Barry glanced between them, sensing that quiet, unspoken space forming. “I’ll leave you two to it.” He said, already backing toward the door. “We’ll talk more later.” The door closed behind him with a soft click, leaving just Celia and Michael in the study. “Hey.” Celia said calmly. Michael looked up from the map and smiled instinctively, one of those rare smiles that came without calculation. But almost immediately, he turned his attention back to the table, pretending to study the markings again. He knew if he looked at her for too long, he would l

    Immediately after the quiet but heavy breakup between Mira and Jace, the front door swung open with a gust of cold air and the crunch of snow. “I’m back.” Barry announced, stomping his boots against the floor as he shrugged off his snow-covered coat. His voice was cheerful and light, completely unaware that he had just walked into the aftermath of something broken. He glanced around the living area. Jace stood stiffly near the table, flipping through papers without really reading them. Mira sat on the couch, her posture composed, she looked calm and focused as usual. Barry nodded at both of them casually. “Cold as hell out there.” He added, already moving toward the kitchen. “You wouldn’t believe how tight security is around that district.” Neither Mira nor Jace replied. Barry didn’t notice. He was already opening cabinets, pouring himself some warm water, mentally sorting through the information he had gathered. He spent hours observing patrol routes, bribing the right people,

    In the months that followed, the weight of the mission pushed every member of the group into roles they never imagined themselves taking. Michael was forging alliances with the city’s giants, Celia was mastering complex negotiations and managing public relations, Barry handled logistics with precision, and Jace, surprisingly, had grown deeply invested in the intricacies of business growth and influence. But no one evolved more unexpectedly than Mira and Jace. What started as simple task-sharing, late-night paperwork, reviewing financial entries, analyzing market openings, discussing negotiation strategies, gradually turned into a subtle bond. Mira was sharp, organized, and brilliant under pressure. Jace, who had always been the more carefree and humorous one, discovered a side of himself he never explored before. He wanted to impress her. He wanted to keep up with her. He wanted to learn. And Mira, who had always lived in luxury and was used to people serving her, found herself
