Alex currrently stood before a huge, floor-to-ceiling mirror of a boutique he’d just discovered he owned while Zade faffed around, taking measurements and picking a dozen suits all in different colours. He had to admit, it was a bit exhausting.“What’s with all the fuss, Zade?” He asked tiredly. “I have a bazillion designer suits in my closet. Why can’t I wear any of those?”Zade stared at him like he’d just uttered blasphemy.“I’m sorry, young master, but I believe you just do not understand the importance of this event.”Alex rolled his eyes.“Well, can you explain it to me, please?”Zade suddenly seemed two inches taller. His chest puffed out and his face took on a sheen of seriousness as he spoke.“The Unveiling Ball, although a top secret event, is one of the most important events in the business world. Every businessman who has made a name for himself in New York and beyond will be in attendance. It is an event fit for only the crème-de-La-crème of society. Every member of the

“Sir, Derek challenged you. Are you just going to let his disrespect slide?” Jack asked the next day.Alex tried to stifle his annoyance as the happenings of the previous night played out in his mind.“Patience, Jack. Patience. One thing I realised is that Derek Hunter is a very proud man… and proud people are always bound to mistakes.”“Oh. So you intend to pounce once he makes a mistake?”Alex scoffed.“I do not have the patience to wait that long. I’ll strike when he hasn’t even begun to make the mistake. I will push him to make the mistake and attack silently from all angles until I have him trapped in my nest. In the end, I will frustrate Derek Hunter until he’ll have no choice but to fall at my feet and acknowledge his stupidity.”The rest of the journey to the hospital passed by in silence. Alex was happy that he’d finally get to reunite with his little brother.He did not care what members of the Conglomerate said. Jayden was his brother and he’ll remain his brother forever.

“Sir, the police are here.”The room fell into shocked silence as Jacob made the announcement. Alex stared at Derek with a raised brow. “You were saying?”Before Derek could reply, he turned to Jacob and ordered;“Bring them in here immediately.”“You’re bluffing.” Cole sneered, although he’d already begun to drip with nervous sweat. “The police are not here.”Alex shrugged as Jacob exited the room. Exactly one minute later, he returned with three uniformed men towing behind him.The moment Cole saw the officers, he began to tremble.“I told you this was all a misunderstanding. There was no n-need to get the p-police involved.” He stuttered.”“What’s going on here?” The first officer asked authoritatively.Alex glanced at his badge.“Thank God you’re here, officer Taj. This is a case of abuse. I met this man trying to assault this lady in a locked room. I heard her screaming. My bodyguard had to break the door down. When we gained entrance, we caught him pinning her against a wall w

Alex’s heart nearly beat out of his chest. Tendrils of dread curled in his stomach and his fingers were already trembling.“B-bomb?” He stuttered, staring at Jack in horror. “Who are these people?”More gunshots peppered the air and Jack took cover behind the bulletproof door of the car.“I don’t know, boss, but I think they’re from your great grandfather.”Alex was stunned.“The same man who wanted to kidnap me when I was a baby? Isn’t that bastard dead yet?”“Just hand him over to us and go free. We only need the young master.”In the midst of the chaos, Alex watched in amazement as Jack calmly retrieved a walkie-talkie from his pocket and spoke into it.“Las Vegas C-squad, this is Special Agent Jack Windsworth. We are under attack. I repeat, we are under attack. The attackers are threatening to take the young master hostage. Send back-up immediately.”The two other waiting SUVs which were supposed to convey the rest of Alex’s bodyguards shot into action, barreling in breakneck spe

“Everyone, standing beside me is Alexander Stephan. He’s the newly appointed CEO and Chairman, Board of Council of Xander Group of Companies. He also doubles as the Chief master of the Conglomerate of Billionaires!”Alex’s chest swelled with pride as one hundred plus employees welcomed him with thunderous applause. Looking at the crowd, it was easy to pinpoint people with genuine happiness on their faces and people who were not so excited about the new leader.Matthew continued;“As you all know, he’s Late Master Alexander’s grandson and only heir. I urge everyone to give him your full support.”He turned to Alex;“Would you like to say something, sir?”Alex was a little nervous but he nodded hesitantly.“The floor is yours.”With a thundering heart, he walked forward and mounted the podium. The crowd had gone stone silent. All eyes were curiously fixated on him. Surprised, he noticed a few men behind the crowd who glared at him with open dislike.Their hatred gave him all the confid
