Meanwhile, Governor Darrus, Seraphina, and Dominic returned to the Hayes family residence.
The Lieutenant Governor, Avo, with his arrogant demeanor, had ruined the welcome dinner for Dominic, turning what should have been a warm occasion into a tense one.
Nevertheless, a spirit of optimism remained among them.
They were confident that Dominic would successfully take control of Morow State.
Their plans were solid, alliances firmly established, leaving no room for Max to turn the tables.
Max had already lost, and Dominic’s vision as the new leader of Morow State was becoming more tangible with each passing moment.
Darrus sat relaxed in the spacious living room.
Thoughts of the future began to fill his mind.
He felt proud of how his family had forged strong ties with Dominic’s influential family in the capital.
With these connections, Darrus envisioned a bright future ahead-opportunities for promotion, greater wealth, and an elevated social status.
He even imagined one day moving to the capital to further his promising political career.
All of it felt so close, just a few steps away.
Meanwhile, Dominic sat across the table, speaking confidently.
“It will only take me a year to manage Morow State better,” he declared, his eyes gleaming with ambition.
“The state’s GDP will soar to $30 trillion. I will bring about significant change.”
Dominic seemed as though he had meticulously planned everything.
Darrus felt assured that with Dominic in control, their future would proceed as planned, perhaps even faster than expected.
With a faint smile, Darrus responded.
“You’re absolutely right, Dominic,” he said, his voice filled with conviction.
“With your capabilities, I believe Morow State will develop much faster than anyone could imagine.”
Dominic turned to Darrus, his eyes bright with confidence.
“There’s no doubt about it. We’re here to support you, Dominic,” Darrus continued.
“Our families have long built a strong bond, and I’m confident that with the political power we’ve established together, we’ll dominate everything.”
“Morow State, the capital-everything will be under our control in no time.”
Seraphina, listening to the conversation, smiled contentedly, fully supporting her father’s words.
After their serious discussion about Morow State’s future, the atmosphere began to ease.
Darrus enjoyed a cup of tea while Seraphina and Dominic sat across from each other on the sofa, conversing in a more relaxed tone.
With a playful smile, Seraphina began to tease.
“Dominic,” she said softly.
"You know, I never let that lowlife Max kiss or fuck me," she added with a sly grin.
Dominic’s eyes lit up immediately, responding to her teasing with a gaze full of desire.
He chuckled lightly, a smug smile forming on his face.
“Of course. I knew he would never be worthy of you. No one compares to me.”
Seraphina laughed softly, enjoying her flirtation.
She knew exactly how to captivate Dominic and command his full attention.
“Of course. No one could ever compare to you,” she replied, looking at him with a gaze full of admiration.
Darrus, sitting quietly in a nearby chair, merely smiled.
His expression showed understanding, as if he was fully aware of what was unfolding between Seraphina and Dominic.
He didn’t want to interrupt them.
Instead, he felt relieved seeing their relationship develop.
Darrus knew that their feelings for each other would bring benefits to their family, and for him, that was more important than anything else.
“Perhaps I’ll head to my room.”
Darrus finally said, hinting it was time for him to leave and give them some space.
He stood up, leaving them with a knowing look, as if giving his blessing for their relationship to progress further.
Once Darrus was gone, the atmosphere in the room shifted.
It became more intimate!
Seraphina stood up, walking slowly toward Dominic with a mischievous gaze.
Without a word, Dominic pulled Seraphina into his arms, their bodies drawing closer.
Dominic’s hand gently stroked Seraphina’s hair, while Seraphina gazed at him with a passionate look.
“I want us to be closer, Dominic.”
She whispered, her voice filled with uncontrollable desire.
Seraphina took Dominic’s hand, leading him toward her luxurious private bathroom.
A large bathtub filled with warm, steaming water and overflowing bubbles awaited them, surrounded by aromatherapy candles exuding a gentle fragrance.
Of course, she had prepared all of this before.
As Dominic and Seraphina became increasingly lost in their intimacy, Dominic couldn’t resist mocking Max.
His face brimmed with arrogance, and his words flowed effortlessly.
“Imagine Max now, sitting in that prison cell,” he said with a light laugh.
“He must be wailing and crying, feeling so unfairly treated, while we’re having fun,” he continued.
Seraphina simply smiled, savoring every word Dominic uttered.
He carried on with even more confidence.
“Perhaps he’s still hoping, praying to get out, but that will never happen.”
However…
They had no idea that while they were caught up in their passion, Max’s situation in prison was completely different from what they imagined!

Max wrapped an arm around Aurora.Manager Helen turned her head, and when she realized who the man in front of her was, her breath almost stopped. She bowed even deeper.“Mr. Max…” she said with a trembling voice. “I beg for your forgiveness. I am ready to accept any punishment. Anything. But please do not fire me.”She bowed again and again, her voice almost breaking. “I beg you. I made a huge mistake.”Max did not answer right away. His arm remained firmly around Aurora’s shoulders, his grip steady. He looked at Helen with a cold, assessing gaze that made her tremble even more.Aurora turned slightly toward Max, then looked back at Helen. “A chance does not come twice for people who abuse their power,” she said softly. “Remember that.”Helen nodded quickly, and tears finally fell without restraint.In the front row, Tina and Jale stood in silence. All their plans, all their confidence, all their pride collapsed in a single night. Aurora did not just return to the stage. She returned

Manager Helen’s face turned completely pale. Cold sweat ran down her temples, and for a moment she seemed to lose the ability to breathe normally. Her hands trembled as she lowered her head slightly toward Lisa, her voice breaking and unstable.“I… I am sorry, Ms. Lisa,” she said in a stammer. “I truly did not know that Miss Aurora was someone you knew. If I had known, I would never have…”Lisa raised one hand, stopping Helen’s words without raising her voice. Her gaze remained calm, yet that calmness only made the pressure in the air feel heavier.“You are wrong,” Lisa said flatly. “The problem is not because she knows me.”Helen swallowed hard.“Aurora is the wife of the biggest investor in Star Entertainment,” Lisa continued in the same calm tone. “The investor whose funds support more than half of the projects you have managed all this time.”The words struck like a heavy hammer.Tina froze. The faint smile that had remained on her face vanished instantly. Her eyes widened, her br

As the final note of the piano faded into the air, the grand hall seemed to fall silent for one second longer than it should have, before it finally erupted in applause that echoed from every direction. The guests rose from their seats, some of them clapping with wide smiles filled with admiration. Shouts of praise rang out freely, no longer trying to keep their voices down.“She is incredible…” “The notes are so clean, the emotion feels alive…” “Talent like this is so rare.” “And… my God, she is so beautiful.”Aurora slowly stood from the piano bench and bowed gracefully. Her face remained calm, almost free of excessive expression, yet her eyes reflected an undeniable strength.In the front row, the smile on Tina’s face had frozen. Her fingers clenched tightly on her lap, her nails pressing into her skin without her realizing it. Beside her, Jale stared at the stage with a stiff jaw, his eyes filled with restrained anger.“That should have been me,” Jale muttered softly, his voice

“Please welcome,” the MC continued in a loud voice, “Ms. Lisa, CEO of Ladder Corp.”Applause echoed throughout the room.A woman stepped in calmly yet with strong authority. Her black suit was simple, but the aura she carried made the entire room feel tense. Her face was firm, her gaze cold yet sharp, as if she could judge anyone with a single look.Tina clapped along instinctively, though her brows furrowed slightly. “Lisa from Ladder Corp?” she whispered. “Isn’t that a giant company in investment and technology?”Lisa stepped onto the stage, briefly shook hands with the MC, then looked toward the guests. Her gaze swept across the room slowly and paused for a moment at the front row.Tina leaned back in her seat, her eyes shining as Lisa stood on the stage and gave a short speech. There was sincere admiration on her face.“I really like her,” Tina whispered to Jale. “CEO Lisa is a young, successful, independent woman. She is not just beautiful, she is powerful. I really want to get c

Tina and Jale entered the Star Entertainment building with confident steps. The grand lobby was filled with crystal lights and the sound of conversations from invited guests, most of whom were young artists, producers, and small scale investors. A red carpet stretched into the main hall, as if to emphasize that this place was not meant for just anyone.As soon as they stepped inside, a middle aged woman in an elegant gray suit approached them. Her face was friendly, but her eyes were sharp and calculating.“Good evening,” she said. “I am Helen, the event manager. Excuse me, may I ask… which one of you is Mr. Hasan’s child?”Jale immediately raised his hand without hesitation. “That would be me.”Helen’s attitude changed at once. Her smile widened, and her tone became much warmer. “Oh, of course. Please, Mr. Jale. We have prepared the best seats for you.”She signaled to a staff member. Without many words, Jale was escorted to the main seats in the front row, right in the center of a l

Aurora and Max stopped walking at the same time.The woman smiled first and gave a small wave. “Hi, Aurora. You are coming to this event too?”Aurora looked at her for a few seconds before finally recognizing her face. Tina. Her long hair fell neatly down her back, her face familiar even though they had never really talked. The man beside her was Jale, tall in posture, his gaze sharp but full of confidence.“Hi,” Aurora replied softly. “Yes.”Aurora fell silent for a moment, then nodded politely. She knew who they were. These two were her seniors at university. Their names were fairly well known, not only because of their musical skills, but also because they often appeared at official events. However, Aurora had never been close to them. She had almost never spoken to them directly. She only knew them from her friends’ stories.Because of that, their presence here and the way Tina greeted her made Aurora feel a little nervous.Aurora opened her mouth, wanting to explain. She felt sh
