Cheng bar always held up to it’s magnificient legacy. The building was itself was a big tourist center for poeple who loved to have a great time drinking. It also had a few rooms where guests could spend the night! Adrian sat alone on his barstool, gulping down his champange when Anastasia walked up to him and grabbed a seat right next to him. “You make choices quickly and that is a really smart thing to do, beauty!” Adrian was the first to speak up. “Hi, Mr. Humble Bunny.” Anastasia said bluntly and ordered a glass of red wine and began to sip into her glass of wine. She said nothing more to Adrian, her appearance was loud enough to have sent any message she wanted to deliver. She wore an explicit silk red dress that clung to her body, accentuating her curves, with a plunging neckline that left little to the imagination. Her makeup was flawless. She was a naturally beautifully born lady, but whenever she plastered makeup on her face, she looked like a goddess. Adrian raised

Nathan drove into NexGen Labs with so much confident and enthusiasm. NexGen was tagged the most expensive conglomerate in the planet. It was like a city on its own - a city of the world’s smartest people. Nathan was humbled by the massive space of NexGen. His respect for Elon quadrupled. The man was a legend and was the most ambitious man in the planet. As Nathan drove through the streets of NexGen, all eyes were on his Lamborghini. It was a breath taking sight to behold. He navigated his way through the conglomerate successfully and his car was taken from him right at the main gate to the main terminal. This was the company’s protocol to avoid any security breaches. After confirming that he indeed had a scheduled meeting with sir Elon, he was placed into another car where he would go to the main building where the upper echelons’ office were. As soon as Nathan stepped into the building, he gasped in total shock. This company really stood up to its name; Next Generation Lab

“I beg your pardon, Mr. Fred. I will do anything within my power to retain our relationship. If I have wronged you, I am truly sorry!” Mr. Lynch begged profusely. Fred sighed. “My boss, sir Nathan Reed has given a direct order and there is nothing I can do. Pay back those shares by evening or your company would be shut down for good!” He said coldly. Mr. Lynch suddenly went on his knees. “You can’t do this to me, sir Fred. I have never defaulted you before, have I? Surely, there must be an alternative that Mr. Reed had on the table.” Fred had given Mr. Lynch a hard time and has pushed him to a very tight corner. This was the plan. “Here is the deal, Mr. Lynch. Mr. Reed has two offers for you. First, you pay up the shares worth $200 Billion and you can have a good life ahead of you. Second…” he paused. “I’m all ears Mr. Fred. I will definitely opt in for the second option. I have no choice.” Mr Lynch admitted. “Secondly, we buy your company from you, employ you as the man

“Dear final year students of Luxton University, you are the backbone of this college and you have stayed with us from your first year all the way to your last. Please, applaud your patience!” Mrs. Heather announced excitedly. The whole final year students who amounted to 523 all cheered in unison. They were finally coming to the final years of their miserable and demanding and beautiful life in college. They truly never thought this period would ever come “Now, your final exams will commence in a month’s time after which you can finally throw away all your academic resources like your textbooks and notes, and celebrate the end of this chapter of your lives,” Mrs. Heather continued, her smile beaming with pride. “But remember, these exams are crucial. They are the culmination of all your hard work and dedication over the years.”The students erupted into another wave of applause, excitement and anxiety mingling in their cheers. Mrs. Heather held up her hand to signal for silen

“Hello, sir Elon!” Nathan walked up to him and gave him a firm handshake. Mr. Elon was a well-built man physically. From his biography, Nathan read that he came from nothing and had to build his way to the top. This made them even in a way. They both knew what it meant to have a bite of sand. “Sir, permit me, but I am guessing you have the wrong person.” the man at the receptionist did not back down. He was hellbent on exposing Nathan Reed. He walked up to Mr. Elon with the tablet in his hand and showed the news headline to Mr. Elon. “I might be the only one who knows it is definitely him because I have a good eye for recognizing people. You have to believe me, sir. This is him!” Jeff insisted. Mr. Elon took the tablet from his hand and examined the image carefully, then he handed the iPad to Nathan. “I see people are getting good with photo editing these days, Nathan. Have you sued this AdvaC yet? They need to be wiped clean from existence. Their greed got the best of them

"Breaking News! Man Found Dead in a Guest Inn at Cheng Bar! This morning, authorities discovered the lifeless body of Adrian Sinclair, a young man who worked at ReyLux, in his room at Cheng Bar's guest inn. The cause of death appears to be a gunshot wound to the head. Police are currently investigating the incident and have not yet identified any suspects." Anastasia's face was expressionless as she watched the news report on the TV. It was time to move on; she had done what needed to be done. What she did not understand though was why Adrain was not addressed as the billionaire she knew him to be. Why did the news reporter say he worked at ReyLux? Was he not the owner of the company itself? Probably an error from the news reporter and nothing else. “So unfortunate for the young man. He must have had dreams and aspirations. I wonder who would do such a terrible thing to him. I hope they get caught and are properly handled.” Mrs. Hearst, Anastasia’s mother enunciated sadly. “No!

“We are truly, Sir. Reed, but we really tried eveything we could to save his life, but nature had to take over.” Doctor Foster said. Nathan wept losely, but Kamsi cried even more. Her grandfather was the best man on the planet and just when she was getting to know him on a more personal level, he left her alone. She stood beside Papa Sam’s lifeless body. Fred did not say a word. He knew deep down that Papa Sam was going to die soon. The old man was already clocking 100 and that was more than enough time for a human to live on the earth. “He lived a well fulfilled life, Mr. Reed and I can only say that it was his time. He is in a better place. He was a good man.” Doctor Foster declared. Nathan sighed. He never really got time to bond with the old man. But the doctor was right in saying that his grandfather had lived a long time on earth. He looked at his corpse. He still looked as strong as yesterday. “Rest well, granddad!” Nathan exclaimed. It was a tough moment for him. A

Nathan walked up to the man and demanded to know what was going on. The man simply looked at him and his anger even worsened. “And who the fuck are you?” the man replied angrily. “I am a peace maker and I demand to know why you would want to hit a woman on her head. Not just any woman, your own wife. Who does that?” Nathan asked gently, his voice as firm and stoic as his posture. “I give you three seconds to leave this place or…” “My dad always beats my mom. He said she stole $2 Million from his account and that is a lie. My mother would never do that. He is threatening to divorce her.” the young boy said bravely, clutching his mother’s hand with every ounce of strength in his body. The abusive man was about to raise his fist to hit his son, but Nathan quickly intercepted by grabbing his hand before he could hit the young boy. From the way Nathan firmly gripped the man’s hand, everyone around knew that Nathan was stronger despite being the younger one. His grip was so firm

Then, he pointed to some images of some really big and influential business men and women along with top tier kids with the X mark on them with a marker paint? Or blood? It didn’t matter. The message was clear. “Listen, Kamsi, the world is a gameboard,” Donald said, his tone cold and deliberate. “And every single player is either an asset or a liability. Those marked here…” —he gestured to the images with red Xs— “were liabilities. People who stood in the way of progress. My progress. And now, they’re nothing. Pew… Vanished like thin air!” Kamsi’s eyes scanned the board. She recognized some faces—politicians, CEOs, heirs to fortunes. People who, at one point, seemed untouchable. Yet here they were, reduced to mere trophies on Donald’s twisted scoreboard. “So, this is your playbook?” she asked, her voice laced with a mix of curiosity and disdain. “You decide who lives and who dies?” Donald smiled, a dark and knowing expression. “Not quite. I don’t kill for sport, Kamsi. I kill

“Where are you going child?” Asked Donald. Kamsi paused and turned around. “I’m going to kill Alex,” She said flatly. “Since you are not going to do anything even though I’ve told you all the things he did to me. So, I am going to take matters into my own hands!” Donald smiled and scoffed. He got up from his office chair, walked to the front of his table and sat on it. “Tell me how exactly you plan to do that child! You’re gonna just show up to his face and put a bullet through his skull?” He asked. “Well, yes. That is exactly what I am doing. I don’t think you understand the things he did to me. Every night for years I cried my lungs out! You’re becoming too weak and…” “Shh…” Donald shushed her and walked towards her. Then, he placed her head on his chest. “Let it out kid. Let it out.” “Now… now my fucking brother is dead and I was not the one who killed him. I deserved to be the one to take his life, Donald!” Kamsi's voice cracked as she buried her face in his chest.

“Who the fuck are you?” cried the dude in pain as he managed to pick himself up and ran away. Emily, seeing that their attack and defense system was weak, began to back off. “Fuck you! You are fighting for this ugly, bitch. This is not new to her, stupid. Her boyfriend does worse every day. Good luck saving her from herself and from her boyfriend. You are a fool!” Emily then ran along with the rest of them. Those words rang in Mr. Frost’s ear over and over again, ‘Her boyfriend does worse everyday!’ That explained so much. So much. Her innocent smile, the bag beneath her eye, the hesitation in her voice, and the way she deflected kindness—it all made sense now. Mr. Frost clenched his fists, his sharp mind processing every detail with surgical precision. He turned to Clara, who was slumped on the ground, her arms shielding her face as though bracing for more blows. “Clara,” he said softly, his tone stripped of its usual calculation, replaced with genuine concern. “It’s over.

Emily glared at her but said nothing, muttering under her breath as she stalked off. Clara watched her leave, then returned to him with a faint, embarrassed smile. “I’m sorry about that. She’s… well, she can be difficult.” “It’s not your fault,” he replied, sipping his water. “But I appreciate your intervention.”Clara hesitated, then leaned slightly closer, lowering her voice. “You know, I couldn’t help but notice how calmly you handled that. Most people would’ve made a scene.” He smirked faintly, the corner of his mouth twitching upward. “I’ve learned that making a scene rarely solves anything. Besides, it wasn’t worth the energy.” Clara nodded, studying him for a moment before straightening up. “Well, if you need anything else, just call for me.” Before she turned to leave, he stopped her. “Here, my card. If you want, I could fix you up to something tonight or anytime you are free. There are like just two of you left in this world and I feel compelled to compensate you! My na

He walked into the restaurant, blending seamlessly into the mundane hum of everyday life. His attire was plain—a worn jacket, a modest button-down shirt, and slacks that spoke of a man who had neither wealth nor prestige. It was all part of the act. He moved with an unassuming grace, each step measured, each movement calculated to ensure no one looked twice. Sliding into a seat near the window, he scanned the room. The clink of cutlery, the murmur of quiet conversations, and the occasional burst of laughter filled the air. It was a world that seemed to forget its troubles, even if just for a while. A young waiter approached, her notepad in hand. “Your order, sir?” she asked flatly, her tone betraying a routine she had repeated countless times that day and other days and probably all her life as a teenager. He looked up at her, a soft smile on his face, his eyes crinkling just enough to seem harmless. “Water,” he said simply. Her pen paused midair, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

“Mr. Donald, tell us, is it true?” “Are all the accusations true?” “Is it true that you orchestrated the death of Nathan Reed? That you put a bomb on his chopper?” “The public needs and answer, Mr. Aruthur!” Donald ignored all the questions, walking into the building facility like he was truly guillty, his face as stiff as the knot of his tie and the belt around his waist. He went straight into the reception area, his personal security walking besides and behind him, and then he demanded to see the CEO, Samuel Langford. Donald had so many reasons to point fingers at Samuel for the incident that happened to Nathan. He had every cause to believe that Samuel planned every detail so it would expose him to the world. After all, they were having an intense feud as he owed the Langfords over 100 Million Euros. “Sorry sir, you can not see Mr. Langford at the moment. He is occupied and is not accepting visitors that are not family members or important friends. And you would need

“Please, Emma! Please, I… I have to leave here! You can not keep me here like an animal. It’s been 3 weeks! Why are you doing this to me? As revenge? You know that you are the one in the wrong. You stole my fiance’s heart from me and…” “Sh… shhh!” Emma shushed her slowly, passing her meal through the lock box. Vanessa was getting wildly slim. She looked like a disaster in the body of a dejected camel craving for a drop of water from the sky, its neck stretched out and elongated. The once pretty, sleek Vanessa was now a shadow of her former self when she was still in abject poverty and suffering. “Come on now, Vanessa. You are asking the wrong questions and making the wrong lamentations. Don’t you wonder where your fiance has been all these weeks? Why he has not found you or called out an intense search. Guess what? He thinks you just went on a trip and he doesn’t fucking care about you, Vanessa!” Emma roared slyly. Vanessa clenched her fists together as she tried to control her

Dr. Hearst finally broke his silence, his voice calm but unsettling. “Donald is right about one thing—this isn’t random. Someone planned this, and they knew exactly what they were doing. A man like Nathan Reed doesn’t just… vanish unless someone wants him gone. But the real question is: why frame us?” Vivian crossed her arms, her sharp gaze fixed on the doctor. “You mean to tell me someone orchestrated all this just to spark a war between us and the Reeds’ allies? What kind of lunatic does that?” “One who stands to gain from it,” Hearst replied, his tone icy. A tense silence filled the room, thick with suspicion and paranoia. Donald broke it with a guttural growl. “Fine. I’ll find out who did it. And when I do, I’ll make sure they regret the day they were born. Nobody crosses Donald Arthur and gets away with it. Because I am already receiving calls and many of my investors and clients are withdrawing their funds from my company! I am going down!” He pointed to Enrique. “You are

“Breaking News! The city of London is reeling in shock and dismay as it faces one of the most heartbreaking losses in recent memory. Following the unprecedented open apology issued by Nathan Reed to Donald Arthur for disrupting his daughter’s wedding—a move that had already left many questioning his intentions—tragedy has struck in the most unimaginable way. Reports confirm that the private chopper carrying Nathan Reed, one of London’s most influential businessmen, exploded mid-air shortly after takeoff earlier today. Alongside Reed, the pilot and an unidentified passenger were also aboard the aircraft. Authorities have stated that there are no survivors. This catastrophic event comes on the heels of a series of baffling actions by Reed. Just weeks ago, he paid an eye-popping 100 million euros as compensation to Arthur, freed members of the Davenport family who were previously arrested, and was last seen visiting Donald Arthur’s estate in a surprising public gesture of reconciliati
