"Complicated, huh?" Nathan murmured, almost to himself. He studied her closely, noting the slight flinch when Alex shifted beside her. It was subtle, but it spoke volumes. Kamsi was scared, and not just of the man sitting before her. He turned his attention back to Alex, who was trying to maintain a composed facade. Nathan knew he was pushing the limits, but he didn't care. This wasn't just about business or power. This was personal. This was his family, his life. "Mr. Frost," Alex began again, his voice strained, "if you're interested in discussing business, we can set up a proper meeting." Nathan's gaze was ice-cold as he locked eyes with Alex. "This isn't about business, Alex. This is about family." His voice was low, but the menace was unmistakable. "I want to make sure Kamsi is being treated well. And from what I can see, she doesn't look well at all." Kamsi's eyes widened, and Alex's face flushed with anger. "Mr. Frost, with all due respect, my sister's well-being is none

As the door closed behind them, Nathan let out a long breath, running a hand through his hair. He had kept his cool, but the encounter had left him shaken. Seeing Kamsi like that, so broken and lost, had stirred something deep within him. It was a stark reminder of the consequences of his past decisions and the weight of the choices he now faced.He walked over to the window, staring out at the city skyline. The world seemed so vast and indifferent, but he felt a renewed sense of purpose. Nathan Reed may have been cast aside, but as Mr. Frost, he had the power to change things, to make a difference. And he would start with Kamsi.He turned away from the window, already formulating a plan. Whatever it took, he would help her rebuild her life and reclaim the spark she had lost. And he would make sure Alex understood that the power dynamics had shifted. This was just the beginning, and Nathan was determined to see it through. With a final glance at the closed door, Nathan sat back down

Enrique's face contorted with rage. "Are you two out of your damn minds?! Get out of my house before I unleash my wrath upon your two dumb asses!" He lunged at the officer, fists swinging. But the officers were not meant to be trifled with. They weren’t just any officers but highly trained military personnels who’s blows could disfigure a person’s jaw. Chaos erupted as two officers grabbed him, trying to subdue him. Enrique struggled violently, screaming profanities. "This is bullshit! You can't do this to us! We're the Davenports, damn it!" “Yes you are the Davenport, but that means nothing. Here, within the walls of this house you hold a name. But when you get to prison, you are a criminal and a murderer.” One of the officers smacked Enrique on his shoulder. The officers wrestled Enrique to the ground, cuffing his hands behind his back. "Stop resisting, or we'll have to use force," one of them barked. Enrique spat at the officer's feet, his face twisted in fury. "You pigs th

The room fell silent as the name hung in the air. They all knew Mr. Frost's reputation, the most feared and powerful man in the world. But the idea that he could be the one orchestrating their downfall was almost too terrifying to contemplate. It really did not make sense. “That’s a crazy accusation.” Gerald grunted. “That man is the most powerful man in the world, what makes you think he even knows us or will have the time to attend to triflings like us? We are nobodies. My company and your family put together means nothing to that dude.” he argued, still reeling in disgust and regret over all the time and resources he had sacrificed for the Davenports. “Yes, that is right, but he gave Candace the contract when the rest of us did not get it. He even went as low as making Collins of all people his representative while the rest of us were there. There is something I just can’t place together.” Vivian responded. “Mom, I hate to say this, but Gerald is right. There is no one attackin
From Teardrops To Billions CHAPTER 191
The evening was cold, lonely and darker than usual and Nathan lay on his bed, tired from the day’s activities. His job as a CEO was a tedious one. His mind drifted to everything Anita had said to him in their last conversation. He was shocked to the bone. Thankfully now, he had all the information he needed to use against the Davenports, to expose their dirty asses. He just needed to make sure he was not rash in making decisions. He would do the right thing at the right time. His mind also to Kamsi and Alex. The fact that Kamsi might be living in the same roof with his nemesis, the beast, this made his body tickle in agony and anger. He would no longer be able to rest until he has successfully brought his sisyer to safety. His phone pinged. He picked it up and it was a notification from his chess app, inviting him to battle with a legend. Though Nathan was not really in the mood to play chess, he decided to accept the challenge. This would be a way to relieve his stress. He

“Where have you been Collins? Today, your contract with this family ends. Get your dry ass here now and let us end this deal and get this over with!” Donald sparked over the phone. Nathan said nothing in reply, tossing his phone on the leather couch in his office. He had more pressing needs to attend to and not some idiotic $3 Million dollars issues. He could have grabbed Donald and given him a wicked, deadly glare if they were physically together. “She can come in now.” Nathan said to Beatrice and adjusted his collar, looking at the mirror twice to make sure his face was covered and his dark shades covered every single detail of his eyes and eyebrows. Shortly, a pretty woman walked in, dressed in a professional suit that expelled an air of professionalism. “Hello sir.” She said gently, taking her position in front of Mr. Frost. She was bustling with excitement. The fact that she was standing face to face with Mr. Frost could not get out of her agitated brain. “Hi, Emma. It

Nathan sat back in his chair with the slow and careful smile of a chess grandmaster. At this, he slipped his sunglasses off and there was a steely shine in the eyes. “Then comes the game-play, Emma. You will play with Alex, make him think he has a chance for you. Make him desperate. Make him obsessed. He begins to lose concentration She looked both excited and unsure and her eyes were beaming. "And what about the secrets? How shall I get him to tell me of them? Nathan leaned forward once more, becoming quieter, almost whispering. "Desire and ego drive men like Alex. He'll get more reckless the more he wants you. He will allow himself to be impressed by things that he shouldn't. And you'll let me know what you find out when he gets back. Every murmur, every secret skeleton, every deal he's struck behind closed doors. There will be enough for us to bury him. Emma nodded, heart palpating. "And once we have everything?" Nathan's stare was penetrating and his voice sharpened. "The re

One thing she had learned about wealthy men and organizations was that lying to them sometimes never ended well. When they find the truth themselves, it ends up in brutal comebacks. “Um, Miss. Beatrice, you see, Candace had a really severe pain and was rushed to the hospital two days ago. You know, she is a cancer patient.” Vivian replied shakily. “Strange, Vivian.” Beatrice intercepted. “The last time I laid eyes on Mrs. Candace, she was as healthy and strong as a normal human being. Cancer does not suddenly strikes someone and sends them into an emergency unit.” Vivian was waiting for Beatrice to continue speaking so she could frame up another lie. But it was her turn to speak. “Um, ma’am, you have to believe me. It was a sudden attack and she did not get the chance to write to your firm to inform you of her predicament. We are truly sorry.” Vivian apologized quickly. Beatrice paused for a moment, making Vivian’s breath shake even harder. “Vivian, my boos is actually concer

“What now? You’re gonna leave me here to die away? Huh? Is that how you forgive? And I don’t need your fucking forgiveness, you hear me?” “You are still a loser. Look what it took you to get here! You lost Fred, lost your employees, lost your wife, lost your sister! You are a loser, Nathan, and it will always be that way! Go on, walk away like you always do, but what I said just now is the truth, okay?” Alex roared out in agony and pain, trying to break free. His words kept opening a wound in Nathan’s heart. A wound that he was trying to heal, a wound he would spend a trillion dollars to completely close up. But Alex did not give a damn! He needed to lash out his own anger and cries. “I would kill you over and over again, brother. Our father was an asshole just like you. He hated me, he could not bear the responsibility of a son from his janitor. And I am the product of that disgusting intimacy, Nathan.” Alex’s voice broke. He didn’t want it to, but it did. His entire body shook,
CHAPTER 429 (GRANDE FINALE)
Alex Reed struggled to breathe as hard as he struggled to see. He looked around and could barely see a thing. He was in a dark room and whoever the fuck put him there was merciful enough to place a dim light above his head, just enough for him to see his own breath. He tried to move, but his body was numb, and yes, he was tied to a chair, so he could not move. He had been captured. He tried to recall the last incident that happened to him. He was in his car, driving to the airport for his departure, and then he was drinking… Yes. He was poisoned by a man who was not Mark, his driver. Someone had ambushed him, and now, he was tied up to a stupid chair when he was supposed to be on the seat of his private jet. Clearly, it was Megan. Alex had been humiliated to the core already. He had Vanessa slap him ruthlessly in public, diminishing his pride, lowering his esteem in front of the whole world. Then, he had Emma threaten him. This was not right. This was not the Alex he had envision
CHAPTER 428 (FINALE)
Marcus’s breath hitched. His heart pounded in his ears, drowning out the sound of the wind rustling through the trees. His fingers curled into fists, and for the first time in years, he felt something he had long buried—fear. His lips parted slightly, but no words came. April, oblivious to the storm brewing within Marcus, stared at Neil’s grave with a mixture of shock and grief. “Neil…” she whispered, her voice cracking. “I—I didn’t even know he was buried here. I mean, I heard he was killed. And whoever did it, death to the person.” Mr. Frost said nothing. He simply stood there, his hands in his coat pockets, his head slightly tilted, watching Marcus the way a lion watches its prey—patient, unhurried, and inevitable. “You seem shaken, Marcus,” Mr. Frost finally said, his voice smooth, almost amused. “Why?” Marcus forced a dry chuckle. “I just… I wasn’t expecting this,” he lied. “It’s just bringing back memories.” “Ah,” Mr. Frost nodded, taking a slow step toward Neil’s grave.
CHAPTER 427 (FINALE)
“You said you wanted to see me?” Asked Marcus, panting. He had been running. He dared not disappoint Mr. Frost or make him wait. Especially because Mr. Frost had been cold towards him for a while. Marcus was not sure why Mr Frost would tell him to meet him at the cemetery. He literally just returned from a journey, not a vacation trip, a work trip to Dubai and he had been there for over 1 month, alone and away from all social connections, online and offline. “Did you bring your girlfriend as I requested?” asked Mr. Frost. “Yes I did, sir.” Marcus responded and signalled for April to come over. This was yet another strange thing. Why did he request for April too? April walked up to them and greeted Mr. Frost respectfully. Mr. Frost looked into her eyes and smiled, the type of smile that came from past lives and would live on for millions of years. His smile was so endearing, thought April, the very first day she met him. There was an aura he exuded that was so… so familiar, so
CHAPTER 426
Mr. Frost stood there, silently allowing the breeze to softly kiss his tender skin. Tender? No, more like rough and craggy. In this context, many people would say he had been through hell and back. But this was not the case for Mr. Frost. He lived in hell, ate in hell, cried in hell, burnt in hell, revived, burnt again, defeated demons, defeated the devil himself, and took over control. But he was close. He was this close to losing it, this close to becoming the very thing that destroyed him. His life had been a mystery, a story that could cover over 2,000 pages and 400 chapters. If only he had been writing a story of his life, or at least just documenting some specific events or even writing a journal, then it might probably be the best selling book in the New York Times or even in the entire world. Maybe he would title it, “The Man Who Survived Hell and Ruled It.” or “A Man Called Revenge!” He scoffed. He gulped down his bottle of wine as he reminisced back to early orphan
CHAPTER 425
“I… I’m sorry, Loulou. But this is it! You remember when you I used to carry that firewood back in Egypt? And then, I would… I would, um, fall and trip over? Then you would say, ‘Abni, adhhab wastriha. ead ghadan wasawf takun 'aqwaa’?” “Then I would run back home and cry. Ha!” Alex sniffed in. “I think this is the time, Loulou. I am falling. I am tripping over, and I cannot stand by and watch all that we have built crumble. I have no one left, Loulou. Vanessa has left me, Megan she… she is a fucking snake and had been a betrayer.” “All the people I called friends are fucking leeches. Parasites. I will be returning back to Egypt, Mom, but not for long. I will be back. Stronger and better.” Cozbi just lay there, eyes shut, breathing slow and paced. Alex was not sure when she would wake up or if leaving her was the right decision. But he smelled danger. First of all, Vanessa had actually been around all those times, and then Megan, whom he thought was going to be his salvation, turned
CHAPTER 424
“Sir! Someone is here to see you!” George, his right hand man said. Donald was raging. He had been grinding his teeth for days now. What was going on? Him, Donald Arthur, one of the most feared men in the city, lost a fight to his useless son and to a little girl. He felt like a laughingstock. He had built his empire with blood, sweat, and absolute ruthlessness. He had crushed men who dared to stand in his way. He had destroyed families without blinking. And now? He had lost to them? To a boy who once cowered before him and a girl he never even considered a threat? Unacceptable. His fingers curled into fists, his knuckles turning white as he forced himself to breathe. He had been grinding his teeth so much that his jaw ached. "Who is it?" Donald snapped, his voice sharp as a blade. George hesitated. "He… uh, he didn’t give a name, sir. But he said you'd want to see him." Donald exhaled sharply, rubbing his temples. "If this is another damn journalist or some lowlife trying
CHAPTER 423
Alex’s body went numb for two reasons. Firstly, her stomach was bloated. Secondly, it was Vanessa. His eyes bulged out, and he looked to Megan, who gave him a sly smile. Finally, their eyes interlocked. Alex could breathe her anger. It was like he was standing next to a fire, a hot lava, and one push from an inauspicious wind could lead to an untimely death. “You!” he said to Megan before taking slow steps to his ex, who was not official. Finally, they were sharing the same oxygen and staring eyeball to eyeball. “V.. Vanessa. I… Look, I know that…” Slap! Alex held his face. He felt humiliated. But he had to try one more time. “Vanessa. Whatever you think is not true. I…” Slap! Slap again. Slap the fourth time. This got onlookers making videos of the lady slapping the man at the airport. Alex could do nothing. He was trapped. His security guards were not with him, and he was in an open space; he could not raise hand or voice against a pregnant woman. “5 months, Alex Reed. 5
CHAPTER 422
2 Weeks Later ‘Beep’ ’Beep’ ‘Beep’ The machines hymned rhythmically, echoing into the four walls of the hospital room. Cozbi’s situation did not seem to be getting any better. It was, in fact, worsening. Alex thumped his head on the wall repeatedly. “I told her! I fucking told her! I fucking told her not to meet with Mr. Frost. Now she has a fucking heart attack.” Alex roared, curled his fist into a ball, and punched the wall. But it only left him with a pulverised hand. “She will be fine,” said Megan to comfort him. “Do not tell me she will be fine. It’s been two weeks now, and my mother had not even lifted a finger. I knew her coming to the UK was a big red flag. And you,” Alex continued, focusing his attention on Megan, “You knew she was going in to see Mr. Frost, that… that god… or whatever his fucking title is. Yet you not only approved of it, you even went in with her. All of that without my consent!” Alex roared. Then Megan stood up and walked to him. “Alex, do not
