Chapter 51
The Silver Crescent Clan’s headquarters was a bit rowdy with murmurs. Rarely did the entire council and clan membership convene, especially at that time and even rarer still was a meeting called by someone like Lenox. Clan members filled the room, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and expectations. At the center of it all stood Lenox, composed, his face set in an expression of stoic determination.He surveyed the room, subtly surprised at the turnout. Members of the clan had responded to his summons in greater numbers than he anticipated, but he masked his surprise with the air of confidence that had always been his armor. This was his moment.He cleared his throat, and the room fell silent. His voice, when he spoke, was steady, commanding.“Brothers of the Silver Crescent Clan, We gather here today at a critical juncture in our history. It is no secret that our clan has faced a series of unprecedented challenges in the past few days. The recent attack on Maxwell, our new es

Chapter 52
Katherine stepped out of the elevator heading towards Maxwell's apartment, her heels clicking against the polished floor. She had tried calling Maxwell multiple times, but her calls had gone unanswered. Concern had driven her here. She knocked firmly on the door, calling his name.After a moment, the door opened, and Jackson, Maxwell’s bodyguard and personal aide, stood before her. His face was lined with exhaustion, and his usually sharp suit was slightly disheveled.“Jackson.What’s going on? I’ve been trying to reach Maxwell for days. But I haven't been able to,” Katherine said, her voice tight with worry. Jackson hesitated, glancing behind him as if someone might overhear. “I'm not sure if I should tell you this Miss Katherine, it’s not safe to discuss this here. But you should know Maxwell isn’t here,” he said carefully.“Then where is he?” she demanded, her voice trembling. Jackson sighed. “He’s at a private Clinic. There was an incident, he was poisoned,” Jackson replied in

Chapter 53
Richard and Fiona slipped out of Maxwell’s hospital room as quietly as possible, their movements careful, as though the tension between them and Katherine might erupt at any moment. The air inside the room was thick with tension. Emma, remained the defiant figure, insisted on staying, claiming it was for Maxwell’s sake, though everyone could see it was just as much for her own.The corridor was quiet, except for the hum of fluorescent lights and the shuffle of nurses’ shoes. Richard and Fiona settled onto the benches just outside the door, the kind designed more for purpose than comfort. Fiona sat with her arms folded tightly across her chest, her lips pressed into a thin line and a disapproving look.“He couldn’t wait, could he? Emma was in and out of the hospital, and he’s off playing romantic games with the first woman who catches his eye,”Fiona said after a long silence, her voice low and sharp.Richard sighed, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees. “Fiona, you’re bei

Chapter 54
The Silver Crescent Clan headquarters was different than its usual imposing tranquility. The iron gates stood open, flanked by flashing red-and-blue lights from police cruisers. Alfred felt a knot tighten in his stomach as he approached, his eyes scanning the scene. Officers moved purposefully, their postures tense. The gravity of the situation was heavy.“Hold it right there,” barked a uniformed officer as Alfred neared the yellow tape that blocked off the area. “I’m a member of the clan,” Alfred said firmly, his voice steady but low.The officer seemed unimpressed, stepping forward as if to block him. Before the situation could escalate, a commanding voice cut through the air. “Let him through,” he said.Alfred turned to see Detective Harper, a senior investigator and a longstanding clan member, walk toward them. Harper’s presence was enough to quell any resistance. With a curt nod from the detective, the officers stepped aside.“Alfred.You’re not going to like what you see," Harpe

The room was as silent as the grave. Alphonse Quentin's mansion’s grand dining hall. The table was a masterpiece of dark oak, stretching across the room like a battlefield waiting for bloodshed. Around it sat seven men and all belonging to the Silver Crescent Clan, they were supposed to be bound by lineage and loyalty to the clan but torn apart by their individual ambition.Lenox stood at the head of the table, his presence commanding every eye in the room. The chandelier above reflected off the silver crescent pin on his lapel, a symbol of his claim to leadership. He had inherited this mansion from his late father, the former patriarch, but the fact that he had four of the guards murdered after killing his own father and poisoning Maxwell was now known to the clan, had caused it to be splintered. Now, it was war.His sharp eyes scanned the faces of his allies men who had chosen to align themselves with him instead of Maxwell or Marcus. Lenox knew this alliance was held together b

Chapter 56
Emma Hawthorne sat by the window of her hospital room, sunlight streaming through the glass and casting patterns on the floor. The weeks spent within these four walls had given her too much time to think, too much time to replay the choices that led her here. She was ready to leave, yet the weight of her circumstances made it difficult to truly feel free.The sharp sound of a knock at the door broke through her thoughts. Dr. Melvin, the doctor in charge of her recovery, entered first, followed closely by Dr Grant, her therapist. Both wore practiced smiles that seem to usually to put patients at ease."Good morning, Emma," Dr. Melvin greeted, his tone calm and steady."Good morning, Doctor, Dr. Grant," she replied, managing a polite smile, deep down she had to look her best so she gave one even though it wasn't genuine.Dr. Grant stepped closer, clipboard in hand. "We’re here to check on you and assess your progress. How have you been feeling lately?" She asked.Emma paused, her fi

Chapter 57
Katherine's heels clicked on the polished hospital floors as she approached Maxwell's bedside. Each and every move echoed in her ear as her thoughts began to fill up. At the center of it all was Emma, Maxwell’s ex-wife, she had just listened to her declare her love for him publicly, unapologetically, and in a way that refused to be ignored.How could she compete with a past like theirs? She thought to herself. A connection that had been tight enough to bring them to the point of marriage. She pushed the door open and was met with the sound of the monitors and the antiseptic smell in the air. Maxwell lay still on the bed. He brought a certain calm as she looked at him despite the storm in the depths of her mind. She reached the bed side, sat down in the chair and held his hand in hers. That seemed to bring her a moment of temporary comfort. Just being alone with him, alone in a quiet room.But the fear lingered in her mind. What if Emma was coming back? What if she wanted to g

Chapter 58
The car ride home from the hospital was quiet. There was a silence that made itself extra heavy on Emma's soul. She sat in the backseat, her head leaning against the cool glass of the car window. Her parents, Richard and Fiona looked at one another from time to time, yet said little, picked up on her state of mind as they observed she was lost in thought.By the time they reached their mansion ,Emma hesitated, her fingers stroking the handle of the door. She stared at the mansion before her, its well kept gardens and tall pillars once symbols of everything she thought she wanted. Now, they felt cold and unwelcoming, a reflection of the emptiness she felt inside her."Emma, darling," her mother, in the front passenger seat and called her name as she turned to look at her. “Come inside. You have had quite the day and all you want to do is lie down, trust me," she said.“I’m fine here,” Emma murmured, her voice barely audible. “Darling, please, you’ll feel better once you’re insi

Chapter 59
Reflections from the morning sun poured in through the tall windows of the dining room, light shone across the wooden dining table. Alfred was sitting opposite his father, Marcus, who was carefully spreading butter on one slice of bread in a calm manner. The room was very still, except for the occasional sound of cutlery and the gentle rustling of paper as Marcus turned a page in his newspaper.For Alfred, the calmness seemed temporary, The current state of leadership of the clan left little room for relaxation, even over breakfast. His mind kept going through strategies and maneuvers, the idea of Lenox's treachery forged each step of his thought.The serenity was shattered by the sound of a gunshot and an echo reverberating through the walls of the house.Marcus was startled and his hand jerked, which made the butter knife drop on the table. “What in the world?” he exclaimed.Alfred’s instincts kicked in immediately. He got up from the chair, dashing to defend his father. His sh

Chapter 60
Alfred left the meeting room shortly after finishing his glass of bourbon. He touched the stop button for the elevator, his mind still working out the details of plan he presented to Liam. The door creaked softly and he walked through, and pressed in the button for the fourth floor. The journey was brief, however, it already took back his thoughts to the tasks ahead.The fourth floor was more quiet than others. It held rooms for solitude and quiet contemplation or in most cases sleep. There was a room at the end of the corridor, which Alfred or his father used. Marcus, usually used it at night on account of their nature of work. The Silver Crescent Clan headquarters made certain it's most important members were comfortable and provided facilities with which needs were addressed. Alfred swiped his key card and the door made a soft click.Inside, the room was a small sanctuary. A king-sized bed with crisp white sheets dominated the space, on the side , a sleek desk and a small seatin
