Roland walked through the cemetery gates with a heavy heart and a flower bouquet in his hand. It had been months since he last visited his father's grave, and it had become a routine for him to visit every time he had the chance. The cemetery was quiet and peaceful, something that he always appreciated. As he walked along the winding path, he couldn't help but feel the pang of guilt in his chest. Why hadn't he taken better care of his father when he was alive? Why had he allowed the weight of the Lafayette Group to consume him entirely? These were questions that plagued his mind with each passing day, and he needed some form of solace. Finally, Roland arrived at his father's grave, and the sight of the headstone tugged at his emotions. Chairman Lafayette, it read in bold letters, with the dates of his birth and death etched beneath it. It felt like it had been decades since he last saw his father's face, his voice, and even his touch. Roland placed the flower bouquet on the g

As Roland sat at his desk, lost in thought, a knock on his door jolted him back to reality. "Come in," he called out, straightening up in his chair.The door opened, and a man walked in, dressed in a sharp suit and carrying a briefcase.Seraphina came alongside with him and she had a worried look on her face."I told him not to come, I prevented him from entering." She said feeling guilty."It's okay, you can go now." He faked a smiled, reassuring her that he'll be okay.Seraphina nodded and left.The visitor, however cleared his throat before talking."Mr. Roland Lafayette?" the man asked, his eyes scanning the room.Roland nodded, curious. "Yes, that's me. Who are you?"The man walked over to the desk and placed his briefcase on it. "My name is William Black, and I represent a company that's interested in acquiring the Lafayette Group."Roland felt his heart race as he realized what was happening. "What? Why would you want to do that?"William Black smiled, his eyes glinting. "Wel

He knew that he had to be careful and patient if he wanted to succeed.But just as he was gathering his thoughts, the door swung open, and a group of men burst into the room, guns in their hands.Roland's heart raced as he recognized one of them as the person who had called him earlier."Where is it?" the person growled, his eyes flashing with anger.Roland swallowed hard, knowing that he was in serious trouble."I don't know what you're talking about," he stammered, his voice weak.But the person didn't believe him, and he raised his gun, aiming it straight at Roland's head."You have one last chance, Mr. Lafayette. Tell us where it is, or we'll make sure you never see your sister again."Roland felt his eyes grow wide with fear as he realized that he was in grave danger."I don't have it," he said, his voice shaking. "I don't know where it is."The person's eyes narrowed, and he lowered his gun slightly, but didn't put it away."You're lying," he said, his voice cold. "We know that

Roland knew that he had to stay vigilant and work hard every day, but he was ready for it.As he walked through the halls of his office, he noticed Sophia waiting for him outside his door."Hey, Roland," she greeted him with a smile."Hey, sis. What's up?" Roland asked, curious.Sophia hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I know that we haven't had a chance to talk about it yet, but I wanted to apologize for the way I acted towards you before."Roland took a deep breath, realizing what Sophia was referring to. "It's alright, Sophia. I forgive you."Sophia gave him a relieved smile. "Thank you. I mean, I know it will take time to rebuild our relationship, but I'm willing to try if you are."Roland put a hand on his sister's shoulder, "Of course, Sophia. We'll get there, one step at a time."They shared a moment of understanding, and Roland realized just how what it was like to have a sister.Feeling grateful for the second chance they had been given, Roland set his sights on the f

Roland stood before the staff of the Lafayette Mansion, his eyes scanning the room as he took in the faces of those who had worked tirelessly for the Lafayette Group. He could sense their tension, their anxiety, and their frustration. He knew he had a lot of work to do to gain their trust again."Good morning, everyone," Roland began, his voice calm and measured. "I know that things have been difficult lately, and I want to apologize for any stress or uncertainty that you have been feeling. I take full responsibility for what has been happening, and I want to assure you that I am doing everything in my power to make things right."He paused, taking a deep breath before continuing. "I also want to introduce you all to someone who is very important to me. This is my sister, Sophia. She will be taking on the role of the young mistress of the Lafayette, and I know that she will do an excellent job."Sophia stepped forward, a smile on her face as she surveyed the room. "It's wonderful to m
