“Who dares to cause trouble in my territory?” Yvonne Hall's voice boomed as her bodyguards encircled the auditorium, holding their rifles close to their chests. Luther's lips parted in surprise when he saw Yvonne. “Yvonne’s the richest person in New York. Did my lie about us being close just manifest into reality?” he snickered. “If she's here to greet me, I must take advantage of this,” Luther thought to himself. With a smile and egoistic chuckle escaping his lips, Luther took steady steps towards Yvonne, stretching his hands as if to give her a hug. The guests who immediately recognized Yvonne murmured amongst themselves, "I didn't really expect Luther to have such a relationship with Yvonne..." "Yeah! I know right? Luther is simply amazing. He keeps surprising us!" When Sera heard the whispers, she beamed with pride while Luther approached Yvonne. “My daughter's really marrying a capable man!” Sera thought to herself, smiling even wider as Jim snug close to he

The banquet was a grand thing to behold. Devin drove into the event center and walked into the building, not gathering any special attention with the modest suit he was wearing. Devin wanted to encounter the board members first to know what kind of people they were. “Young Master. You're here!” Dreykov called out to him as he approached with a bunch of other bodyguards, but Devin waved his hand to hush them. “Let's keep the formalities under wraps for now. Treat me as a regular guest,” he replied to Dreykov who was honestly confused but nodded. “Yes, Young master- sorry- Devin-” Dreykov quickly corrected himself. Devin gave him a nod and walked inside. The evening's festivities began with a champagne reception, where guests sipped fine wines and beverages while enjoying the melodic strains of a live-string quartet. The music was a perfect accompaniment to the lively chatter and laughter that filled the room. But as soon as Devin stepped into the hall, he heard whispers com

“No… wait… please! I'm begging you!” Terrence fell on his knees before Devin, gripping his trousers. “Have mercy!” He begged again. “You have forfeited your shares due to your insolence!” Elijah said again and then turned to the bodyguards. “Get this clown out of here!” “No! Please! You can't do this to me…” Terrence cried as the bodyguards, the same ones he instructed to beat Devin up, dragged him out ruthlessly. The Foreman thought he was safe and wanted to run, but Elijah pointed to him. “Beat this one up!” He commanded, as before the Foreman could run, bodyguards grabbed him and beat him to the pup. He cried and begged as they dragged him out of the hall. Everyone was silent. They knew Elijah was not to be messed with, but the way Devin composed himself without wincing told them he, too, had a brave heart. “Mr Markus. Thank you for speaking up against such injustice earlier,” Devin said to Markus who smiled. “It was my pleasure to help, young master,” Markus said wi

“Who the fuck do you think you are? Huh? I've been patient with you for so long!” Gloria yelled at Kia. “Aunt Gloria, give me my phone please!” Kia demanded but Gloria placed the phone inside her purse. Kia reached in and took it back. “Malcolm is the man that will save this family. Now, I don't give a fuck whether you have a boyfriend or not. You're marrying Malcom and that is fucking final!” Gloria yelled again and Rhea laughed. “Yes, Kia. We don't give a fuck about your fantasies. No one does. You are a vessel that will bring money to this family. You're getting married whether you like it or not!” Rhea added. “You can't decide my life for me!” Kia protested. “We just did!” Gloria shot back at her. Kia turned to her father for support again but Ben looked away. “I can only stop this if your boyfriend is doing better than Malcolm. I'm sorry Kia,” he told her. As tears fell from Kia's face, Malcolm proceeded to wipe them off with his stinky hands. “Don't worry, love. I w

Luther dialed Malcolm's number for the millionth time. As always, it went straight to voicemail.“Ah! The motherfucker isn't picking up!” Luther groaned as he stepped down from his car. Amanda alighted from the passager's side, her expression gloomy.“Just relax Luther. I'm sure it's nothing,” she said, exasperated. Luther shot her a glare as they approached D&M Metalworks, a Subsidiary of The Stonehenge Conglomerate.“Malcolm is the manager of this subsidiary. And I'm processing an ongoing deal with him. If he's not picking up his phone, then something is wrong with my deal!” Luther shot back at her.But Amanda rolled her eyes. “I still believe you're overreacting-”“Are you daft? Yvonne Hall, who was with that useless, golddigger ex-fiance of yours, might have made moves to terminate my deal! This deal is worth millions of dollars in Equity and Returns, and I cannot afford to lose it!” Luther cut her off.“Yeah! Fine! You don't have to yell about it!” Amanda retorted and stepped int
