The next morning, Chris received a text message from James. He got out of bed and went to carry out his chores and made breakfast before he left the house while driving his old electric scooter.
His destination was the same restaurant he had gone to meet James the previous day. Upon his arrival, he found James seated at the same table but this time around he wasn't alone.
Seated next to James was a young man who looked to be in his mid twenties.
“You're late.” James queried as Chris sat right in front of him.
“Unlike someone who always has everything prepared for him every morning, I on the other hand had chores that must be attended to.” Chris retorted with a sarcastic smile.
“I never knew your life had become so miserable. Who would have imagined that a warlord like yourself would become a houseboy?” James remarked and sipped the coffee in front of him.
“Tell me about it.” Chris said nonchalantly and pointed at the young man sitting next to James. “Who is he?”
“This is Ethan. He was one of our most talented newly recruited members and he is going to be your escort from now on.” James responded curtly
“Since when do I need a babysitter?”
“Please, at this point you might've become more proficient in using a broomstick than firing a gun.” James said jokingly, teasing Chris.
“You will be surprised to see what damage I can do when welding a kitchen knife.” Chris retorted.
“Anyways I heard that you have come into an agreement with your family so I thought you might need someone to help run errands that you don't want to get involved in.” He said and stood up from his seat. “I'll take my leave now. I'm sure you boys will get along.”
Chris eyebrows widened in surprise “Is that it? I thought you texted me to come because you had something important to talk about.”
James smiled at the words Chris uttered. “I need to return to the border to oversee the situation so I just wanted to see you before leaving.” He explained before walking out of the restaurant.

After his meeting with James, Chris dismissed Ethan first before heading straight to Pegasus Enterprise.
He rode on his scooter for thirty minutes.
Soon he arrived at the high rising building Pegasus Enterprise which was located in the central business district of Brooklyn. It was the most imposing and intimidating structure standing amidst the other building in the area.
Suddenly, the atmosphere was engulfed by the sound of a roaring engine. Chris turned to look at the directions and saw an sleek and expensive sports car approaching him. It was an Audi R8 sports car!
The car stopped a few feets away from Chris and the driver stuck his head out of the vehicle and shouted at him “Hey you, Get your piece of junk from that spot. I want to park my car in that space.”
Chris was taken by surprise by the demand of the car driver. The driver was a middle aged man, dressed in an expensive, new suit and it was very obvious that he was arrogant due to his wealthy status.
It was a hassle to get involved with such people so he just turned around and continued walking away from the scene.
Obviously, the car driver was stunned by how Chris had completely ignored him. He felt insulted to be treated in such a humiliating manner by someone of lower caliber than him.
As a result, he stepped out of his vehicle and briskly marched towards Chris. “You….Are you deaf? How dare you walk away when I'm talking to you, piece of trash! I told you to move that junk away from that spot.”
Chris silently groaned as he realized that it wasn't going to be easy to deal with as he presumed. “Why should I listen to you? As far as I'm concerned that parking spot doesn't have your name. I was the one who parked on the spot first so you should go look for somewhere else to park your car.”
“You damn bastard. Do you even realize who you are even talking to right now? I have the power to have you thrown out of this compound.” the car driver boasted.
Chris became intrigued by the words of the arrogant young lad standing in front of him. He began to wonder what was the position of the car driver but he knew that he wasn't just an ordinary low level employee.
“I'm giving you one last chance now to get that scooter out of my way or else don't blame me for what I'm going to do next..” the car driver said with a smug expression in his face
“No, I won't remove my scooter from that space so do you our worst!” Chris replied, his lip curling to form a daring smile.
The young man became enraged. He turned around and walked back to where the Scooter was parked. Under Chris' watchful gaze, he used his leg to push the scooter to the ground with a heavy voice, repeatedly stepping and kicking the scooter.
The smile on Chris' face instantly vanished after seeing what happened to his scooter.
“I warned you not to mess with me.” The car driver said to Chris with a disdainful regard on face. “Now, come and take this trash away from this place.”
In rage, Chris walked closer to the young man and slapped him across the face.
The young man fell to the ground, blood gushing out of his nose and his mouth swollen.
“You f**cking bastard! Just you wait. My father is the general manager of this company. I'm going to make you regret this!” The car driver swore and dialed a number on his phone
Meanwhile, the commotion had already drawn the attention of a security guard that was stationed at the parking lot. The group of the security guards stationed at the parking lot soon arrived at the scene.

Thankfully everyone is here and this is a perfect setting to cast a vote so let's get this over with right now.” Eva challenged the entire Carter familyEveryone was both stunning and speechless at Eva's strong and bold provocation. They were clearly at the disadvantage here because casting out Eva from the matriarch position would be throwing away all the benefits they could obtain from cross corporation.On the other hand, leaving her as matriarch meant they would no longer have the right to question her judgement or authority. It was clear that they had walked into her trap.Many of them were in disbelief as they were trying to wrap.their heads around how Eva could change so much.

Eva was even more baffled at the words Elliot uttered. She helplessly glanced at Chris who was unbothered and had clearly had no intention of intervening.She signed and collected the parcel from Elliot. “Thank you, sir.”“No, ma'am. You don't have to speak to me so formally so just address me as Elliot. I'm here to serve you as my superior.” Elliot said.Eva was even more perplexed “Enjoy your meal, ma'am.” Elliot said before walking away and Eva could only just watch his back until he left the room.With any further delay, Eva tore open the parcel and inside it were several pieces of documents. She pulled out the document and a calm facial expression instantly transformed to a shocked look.She held the folder with trembling hands, scanning the legal documents. Her name was on every line. Her name… and no longer Pegasus Enterprise or the Carter family.The documents contained information of Pegasus Enterprise relinquishing its control over Cross Corporation. All the shares owned b

Silence settled between them like a velvet curtain. Eva’s eyes scanned the room again, her voice low. “This ship… it’s the Aurora. You rented out the entire cruise line?”Chris gave a faint smile. “Only for tonight.”She shook her head in disbelief. “Chris… This is insane. Extravagant. This can’t be real.”“It’s very real,” he said. “I wanted to give you a memory that would last forever. A moment that no one else could take from you. You've been through so much in the past couple of years so I wanted to do something special for you today.”Eva stared down at her plate. Her heart felt too large for her chest and she couldn't fight back the tears in her eyes. Thinking about everything again, she couldn't help but feel indebted to Chris once again and she wondered how she could have been so blind to see how marvelous he was all this time.Chris was always putting her and her needs before anything else. Eva realized that she had robbed herself of many exhilarating moments and happy memori

“What?...How did you get these?” Eva asked in surprise.“Did you forget that I'm a supermodel and I have a connection?” Amanda bragged. “I’m telling you,” Amanda said, tossing a wrapped chocolate into her mouth. “since it's happening this evening on your birthday I thought it was a good way to spend a girl's night out.”Eva arched a brow, barely glancing up from the shareholder reports. “Amanda, I’m dealing with a full-blown corporate restructuring. A public scandal. A recovering mother. A new CEO position. I can’t exactly waltz onto a cruise ship right now and pretend to be the belle of the ball.”Amanda grinned. “Oh, but that’s where you’re wrong. You have always been the belle of the ball at every event.”Eva gave her a side glance. “I have nothing to wear.”“You have everything to wear,” Amanda fired back, stepping to the closet behind Eva’s desk and retrieving a familiar garment bag. “Here this for you?”Eva hesitated, then took the bag and opened it slowly.It was the midnight
