The model was already fuming. Looking at the guards with authority burning in her eyes, she lifted her index finger and said. “If you guys don’t do as you’re told, I assure you that I’ll speak to your boss and have you fired.”Henry smiled. He turned to the model. “Those who don’t know better will think that you’re the boss of the hotel.”She folded her slender arms across her chest and looked at Henry intensely. “You have no right to speak to me that way. How can you be so arrogant? What right do you have to talk to me” she went on screaming on top of her voice.Before the hotel guards could blink, Mathew’s guards had pushed them away and were hurrying toward Henry and Jean in their bit to arrest them. The hotel chief guard roared. “How dare you touch him?”The model was dumbfounded.Henry pulled Jean away from the commotion. They stood beside the hotel security guards. He looked at the stunned model and shook his head. “Davina, your tricks are so childish.”The model was stunned t

Immediately after Thomas stepped out, he wiped the sweat that had teamed up on his forehead with a handkerchief. He had not expected to meet the direct heir of the Parker family so unexpectedly. Thomas was not just any fashion legend. He directly worked for the Parker family. He had been designing their branded clothing for over twenty years.If Henry got angry, Thomas knew that his grand career might die instantly. ***The defeated Davina made her way into Mathew’s suite like a chicken that was struck by lightning. When the other model and Mathew noticed her expression, they knew that there was a fire on the mountain.Davina then poured out her heart to them and by the time she was done, Mathew’s eyes were widened in horror. “What? Henry is the owner of this hotel and Thomas is helping him?” Mathew asked in disbelief. Henry had not stopped blowing his mind with different surprises.“Mathew, Thomas is the chief judge.” The other model turned to Mathew. She was looking worried.Mathe

While Davina and her colleagues climbed the stage, they put their game face on and began walking down the stage like pros. A round of applause accompanied every step they took. Scores of models reappeared and as they made their way to the stage, one by one, the applause intensified. Below the stage, Henry was standing at a distance, ensuring he caught a glimpse of the display of every contestant. When Davina turned left, she saw Henry looking at her group’s display. She held her head higher and gave him a proud look that says Did you see that?Henry sighed. He’ll just let her be proud for a while. Davina smirked and turned to the judges with a smile. After that, the models were led down the stage by the fashion head of the Coral group who stood in as the designer. Then, it was contestant number two’s turn. Jean and Henry were already dressed so immediately they were called, they held hands and aimed for the stage confidently. When they climbed the stage, they looked at each othe

Then, two other judges who did not agree with Thomas suddenly stood up in solidarity with Mitchell. “I do not agree with Mr. Thomas’s decision.” Said the young woman who was the first to stand up. She was speaking calmly and gracefully in such a way that one would think she wasn’t making a counter. The audience went into an uproar. Mathew had a group of his hostile audience in the group so immediately after the woman stood up, they swung into action. The scene instantly turned chaotic and Henry wasn’t surprised.To Thomas’s surprise, two more judges sprung up, displaying their lack of agreement with his decision to crown Jean as sensational fashion designer of the year. Now, five out of ten of the judges were standing against Thomas. This kind of thing had never happened before. Usually, judges will have a deliberation and once a consensus is reached, the chief judge will speak on their behalf which was exactly what Thomas did.Now that the woman had the attention of everyone and

Jean didn’t know whether she was overreacting or not but for a moment, she sensed some form of regret in the eyes of some of the judges as they took their seats. “Ladies and gentlemen, join me as we welcome Davina on behalf of the Coral group to give a winning speech.” The host said and turned to Davina with his right hand stretched out. Davina felt on top of the world. This was her kind of moment. Such moments made her the star of the show. She made her way to the host with a proud smile. So far, Davina has won three international competitions as a model. To the fashion industry, this represented endless glory and status. She held her head high with the notion that in the future, she would be the queen of the modeling industry. As for Jean and Henry, the host had completely forgotten about them. No directive was given to them and Jean was already contemplating leaving the stage. The winning model was about to make a speech after all. Suddenly, a man came running toward Mathew at

Mathew was waiting for Henry to grab Jean and get off the stage so that everybody could see that they had been defeated by him. He wanted Henry to feel like a loser and leave with a dejected look on his face. However, to Mathew’s surprise, after Henry was scolded by him, Henry still looked at him with a calm expression and Mathew was irked. None of the audience seated in front laughed at Henry as Mathew wanted. “You cheated. You know right?” Henry said. “And so fucking what?” Mathew boasted and hit his chest. “If you have the guts then go and cheat as well.” He then broke into a dry laugh. “What? You don’t have enough money to bribe the judges? I thought you were some rich heir.”Henry chuckled and shook his head. “Busted!”Mathew arched a brow. Henry was the only one who heard him so what was he blabbering about? When Mathew looked around, he saw that everyone’s gaze was fixated on him. “What? Was Davina’s PowerPoint presentation so catching?” He asked no one in particular and t

Davina looked at the screen and had only one thought in her heart. She was finished. Right next to her was the so-called chief designer of the Coral Group fashion company. He lowered his head in shame. Now, the world will know that they buy their designs from the local market and sell them at exorbitant prices in the company’s shop. The coral fashion company since its operation began in the past few months had been exploiting local designers and sometimes applied threats when the designers refused to comply. “Get the hell out of here. You don’t deserve to stand on that stage. You’re a fraud!” Someone shouted at Davina. The audience went hostile again. At this point, the evidence was conclusive and Mathew could not deny it. When, where, and how the videos were made were things he had no idea of. Everyone below the stage was looking at Mathew and he was instantly covered in cold sweat. He couldn’t bear to look at the faces of the audience because he knew that he’d be greeted with a

“How dare you make a mockery of my time and energy?” spat Mathew. He was staring at Henry with hostility in his eyes. Henry shrugged and motioned to Jean to keep going. He needed to address Mathew. As Jean made her way to the stage, Henry turned around and faced Mathew. “The energy you have wasted has nothing to do with me,” Henry replied. Mathew clenched his fists. “Do you want to fight me to death? And so what if you won today’s competition? My family has tens of millions of dollars and numerous assets so the last thing you want to do is wage war against me because I’ll crush you.”Henry sneered. “Are you sure that you’re not mistaken?”Mathew raised an eyebrow.“The coral group assets which you’re blabbering about is is already losing its value as we speak and before you wake up tomorrow, it’ll be negative,” Henry responded and lifted his fingers in quotes. “Gone overnight.”“What do you mean?” Mathew asked. He was already having a bad feeling. Henry moved closer. “Do you need

As the plane touched down in York City, Henry took a deep breath, ready to take on whatever came next. A few hours after landing, Henry called Tammy.He had been thinking about the life they had together, and the thought of leaving her behind weighed heavily on his heart.He dialed her number, the ringing tone filling the quiet of his private office. “Hey, Tammy,” Henry said as soon as she picked up. “Henry! You finally got through. I’ve been trying to reach you for days,” Tammy replied, her voice filled with relief. “I know, I’m sorry. Things have been a bit chaotic since I arrived in York City,” Henry explained.“But I wanted to ask you something. I’d love for you to come here with me. You’ve been such an important part of my life, and I can’t imagine doing all this without you. What do you think?” There was a long pause on the other end of the line. Henry could almost feel her hesitating. “I… I don’t know, Henry,” Tammy finally said.“I’ve just started with the Dream Angel gr

One evening, after a particularly grueling day, Henry sat across from Tammy in his private study.The soft hum of the city outside the windows was the only sound that accompanied their silence. “Tammy,” Henry said, breaking the silence.“I know our lives are... complicated. But I want you to know that no matter what happens, I’m here. With you. Always.” Tammy’s heart fluttered at his words, her eyes softening as she gazed at him.“I know, Henry. And I’m here too. We’ll find a way to make this work. No matter how busy life gets, we’ll make time for each other. I promise.” Henry smiled, the tension in his shoulders easing. “I’m counting on you, Tammy.”The morning sun had just begun to rise over Marian City, casting a warm glow on the vast Parker empire.For years, Henry had poured his heart and soul into building his businesses, carefully cultivating them from the ground up.His family name had become synonymous with success, wealth, and influence, stretching across countless secto

He thought he had already lost his life.Henry chuckled a bit.“She never misses a target but because you are family, she was being merciful. Think about that before you dare to double cross me in the future, cousin.” Henry said in sinister.June smirked as she looked at his face.“All talk but you are not even brave? Huh? Control the business? In your dreams, Daniel.”Later that evening, as the dust settled and the formalities of the day came to an end,Henry sat alone in his study, reflecting on the day’s events.The battle for the Parker legacy had been won, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that something more had shifted, something deeper. His phone buzzed, and Tammy’s name appeared on the screen.His heart skipped a beat as he answered. “Hey, Tammy,” he said, his voice soft, the exhaustion of the day lacing his words. “I heard the news,” Tammy said with a smile in her voice.“I mean, I saw it in the news. You did it. I knew you would.” Henry smiled, his fingers drumming on h

This time, he knew that Tammy wasn’t just offering her support because it was the right thing to do.She genuinely cared for him, and in that moment, Henry realized how much he had come to rely on her.She was more than a friend now.She was something… more.Something he wasn’t ready to put into words, but that he felt every time they spoke. “I really appreciate you, Tammy,” Henry said quietly, his voice thick with emotion. “You’ve become more important to me than I ever expected.” There was a pause, and then Tammy responded, her voice teasing yet soft.“You know, Henry, I’ve always been here, right? You just had to notice.” Henry chuckled, the sound surprisingly light despite the tension in the air.“I’m starting to notice.” As the day of the family meeting drew closer, Henry couldn’t shake the feeling that he needed to make a move.One that would solidify his position not only as the rightful heir to the Parker empire but also as the leader of his own destiny.He knew that Danie

A long pause followed, and Henry found himself staring out of the window, the weight of the world still heavy on his shoulders.But Tammy’s words had lifted him, even if just a little.He hadn’t realized how much he needed to hear them, how much he needed someone to remind him that it wasn’t all on him. “I just feel like I’m stuck between two worlds,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.“The responsibilities of the empire, the family, and then… I don’t even know how to mourn properly. My grandfather meant so much to me.” Tammy’s voice was gentle, but there was a strength in it.“It’s okay to grieve, Henry. You don’t have to be strong all the time. It’s okay to take a moment for yourself, to feel everything that’s happening. It’s part of being human.” “I know,” Henry said, his voice thick with emotion.“But the pressure is constant. Daniel’s been… well, he’s been trying to undermine me, trying to take what’s mine. It feels like a battle on every front.” Tammy’s tone was

Unlike Henry, who had dedicated his life to running the family businesses,Daniel had focused on the socialite life, parties, charity galas, and public appearances.He had the charm and charisma that many people admired, but Henry had always suspected that his cousin was more interested in the title of heir than the responsibilities that came with it. “Henry,” Daniel said, his voice smooth,“I’m glad you’re here. It’s a tough time for all of us, but we must think about the future. Your grandfather always said that the Parker legacy should be passed on to someone with the right vision.”His eyes gleamed as he spoke, his hand casually resting on the back of a chair, as if he were already preparing to sit at the head of the table. Henry didn’t respond immediately.His gaze swept over the room.His uncle, clearly shaken, was trying to hold it together.While his father, though stoic, seemed to be lost in his thoughts.The family lawyer, Mr. Grant, was seated at the end of the table, wai

No more delays.” Henry said, his voice firm.That evening, at the event, Tammy and the Dream Angel girls were preparing for their prime-time performance.The anticipation in the air was palpable.The stage was bathed in golden light, and the sound of the orchestra tuning their instruments echoed throughout the venue.Tammy, dressed in a stunning silver gown, was going over her lines with Jessica, Sasha, and Elena. “Tammy, you’ve got this,” Jessica reassured her, adjusting Tammy’s dress.“Just remember, you’re the star tonight. Don’t hold back.” Tammy nodded, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness.The spotlight was about to b

Backstage, the girls were elated.“We did it!” Sasha exclaimed, her voice bubbling with joy. “You were amazing,” Elena added, beaming. Tammy looked around at the smiling faces of her teammates, feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude.“We all did this together.” Chelsea and Berry couldn’t help but pull the girls into a group.“Yayyyy! We did it.”They all shouted for joy.Just the, Henry also walked“You were incredible,” he said, his tone sincere. Tammy smiled, her heart racing.“Thank you, Henry. We couldn’t have done it without everyone’s support.”As the night wore on, Henry’s attention shifted to another matter.From across the room, he saw a familiar face.One of the small business owners who had recently tried to undermine his power.It was Gregory West, the owner of a struggling chain of luxury resorts, and someone who had attempted to make a move against his companies by poaching some of Henry’s key executives.These days he had been having too many enemies trying to s

Meanwhile, Tammy and the Dream Angel group were preparing for the Harmony Gala.Though focused on their rehearsals, Tammy couldn’t help but notice Henry’s increasingly busy schedule.She admired how he managed his vast businesses, but she also worried about the pressure he must be under.She heard some of the staffs whispering somethings amongst themselves.“Mr. Parker is really incredible! Did you know he bought all the small businesses beside his hotel and still made them the managers?” one of them said.These employees were new and didn’t know that Henry is actually the direct heir of that “Parker” family with lots of power and health.Lenard and Lena chuckled as they heard them.“you guys, our boss’s power cannot be compared to anyone. He is from a powerful family.” Lenard said.“Yeah! he is very rich and has many businesses. Did you even know that he is also the owner of the Cloud Haven building and all the mining stations in Marian city?” Lena one of the trainers asked.The shoo
