Mr. Ray's habit of drinking is consistently ruined by bad news. Today, not only did he stop drinking, but he also angrily smashed the cup. '"Who the hell came to her rescue?'' he groaned, and his wife immediately picked up the pieces.''I... I don't know, they are sort of gangs,'' he stammered.''Someone has been playing with me, and I will bring out his gut whenever I see him/her.''''But one of us seems to know the mafia gang; he had come across them before and knows one of them. He said it is down by Sky Lord,'' he added, capturing his attention.''He knows them?... Does he know their hideout?'' he asked eagerly. He nodded affirmatively.''That's great! I want you to attack them, use ammunition, and kill their leader. I want them to regret playing with me,'' he said, full of anguish. He bowed down and left to carry out his assignment.*****Tom's POV:Mr. Ray, as I knew him then, is capable of doing something horrible. He would kill anyone who becomes a threat to him. I know who

"Today is my birthday," Riley announces, her expression tinged with a mix of surprise and disappointment that I didn't remember. my mind has been preoccupied with thoughts of revenge lately. "Oh, I nearly forgot," I exclaim, trying to make up for my oversight. "Tell me, what would you like today?" With a seductive look, she moves closer and plants a kiss on my lips. "I want to be with you all day," she whispers, a sentiment I adore. "Alright, but let me take you on a date as well, something we've never done before," I suggest, and she readily agrees. We decide to close the business for the day and make plans to meet at a unique taste restaurant. I'm the first to arrive, dressed in attire suitable for the occasion. As the door chimes open, she walks in, looking more beautiful than ever with her long dark hair and delightful dimples that appear when she laughs. It amazes me how lucky I am to have her in my life. "Sorry I'm late," she says as she takes her seat, but she isn't la

Meanwhile, Aiden finds himself in the position of COO, responsible for overseeing operations and reporting to Jeremy. Unfortunately, this situation has led to whispers and a sense of humiliation. Despite this, Aiden has no alternative but to proceed. He knocks on the door, waiting for a response. "Come in," Jeremy's voice emanates from within, prompting Aiden to gently push the door open.Jeremy stands up, holding a plaque, and greets Aiden with a smile. Aiden's frustration is evident as he quips, "If this is a display of your accomplishments, I'd rather go." Jeremy counters by addressing Aiden's feelings, "Are you feeling jealous or angry? I know the feeling well." Aiden makes a move to exit, but Jeremy reminds him of their father's words, asserting his authority, "Remember Dad's words – I'm now your superior. Ensure you report all developments in full detail." He adds. "Keep in mind, I'm still

Chapter 17 - Tom's POVI dressed in crisp white shirt while Riley dressed in a body hugging short red gown and black heels. "We would like to see the owner," I said. The bartender stared at us. I moved closer, whispering, "We'd like a reservation," as I discreetly opened the souvenir in front of him. The sight of the bundle of cash widened his eyes. "Okay, okay..." he repeated, quickly dialing the owner. Within minutes, the owner arrived with a warm smile. "Your first time here? How can I assist you?". I explained, "I was recommended this place, and I've heard you excel in taking care of potential customers." As I spoke, I slid a bundle of money into his hand.

Chapter 19 (Jeremy's Office): Sean came to an abrupt halt, slowly pivoting to face them. "Who's that? Your opposition? I'd rather not invest in a company with a host of enemies," he stated, sounding completely puzzled. "Alright, please leave. Your services aren't needed here. Go ahead and squander your money." Sean exited, his heart racing. As the door slammed shut, He let out a heavy sigh. "You realize that's one of the most foolish things you've ever done," Aiden snapped at Jeremy. "I'm not like you, and I won't make the same mistakes you have. His investment of that magnitude could lead to him becoming the director, stirring up chaos among the other shareholders." Aiden seethed with anger as he stormed out. *****(in the office).Tom's POV. From the expression on Sean's face, it's clear that things didn't go as planned, I noted.
