After his father agreed to his proposition on what he wanted and how he wanted to be treated if he were going to visit, he ended the call and closed for the day, driving back home by himself, without his assistant escorting him this time.

As he drove under the moon light casting shadows with the clouds and buildings it shown on, a certain cold feeling attacked him.

The weather had grown colder than it had been when he was still in the office. Regrettably, he did not wear a cardigan, neither did he bring one with him. The cold seemed to be penetrating his bones.

In the low temperature weather, his mind began to drift back to times he did not want to remember. Times of warmth, when he snuggled in the arms of Lilly during cold moments like this, and never woke up till the morning.

He smiled. But it was not the sort of smile one could call cheerful. It was of the type one flashed to people to get them to believe that one is doing okay, but needs more help than a toddler. A struggling sm

    After the call with Jolce, Justin placed his fingers on the the steering wheel once more, about to drive home when he received another call. It was from his assistant, Mark."Mark, what do you want to say to me this time? It's late." Justin complained as though he were right there in the car with him.He picked it up and said to the phone, "Mark, you know I closed from work hours ago right? I'm going home now, why are you calling me?""Uhm, I'm sorry sir," he apologized. "But I think there is something that you should look into."Justin rolled his eyes at that. Of course there was always something he had to look into, he thought. Sometimes he regretted taking up his father's offer."So what's that? Tell me about this thing I should look into," Justin said."It's about Lorenzo Miguel," said his assistant."Lorenzo Miguel?" Justin was sure that he had heard such a name before. But it escaped him on whether or not, he really knew the person. "Tell me about it.""Well... Lorenzo Miguel is

    The next day, Justin had a race he had to finish before time would catch up to him. In the office, he was, waiting for Mark to come tell him of the time he was supposed to be having the meeting with Lorenzo Miguel.Mark came just the next minute."Any news yet?" Justin asked him. "You know what I am talking about. The schedule for the meeting.""Yes," Mark replied. "The schedule is six o'clock by evening. That is the only time he is free to do anything that is not work related. The location is at his golf course, which is really just behind his mansion at—"Mark was interrupted by Justin's sigh. "Mark, I am supposed to be having a date by eight, which if I am lucky enough, I will close by seven. But now I am supposed to be meeting up with this guy by six." He face palmed himself. He was convinced that the date plan was already ruined, and decided to call it off himself, but before he could reach for his phone and put a call across to Jolce, Mark stooped him."I don't think that would

    "Is that the question you wanted to ask, sir?" Justin questioned, calmly. His eyes on the man like glue to a surface."Of course, young man. That is one of things I want to ask you. So are you going to come here, or are you going to run off to wherever you intend to go to, and then tell your father that you failed to secure an important business partner like me? I wonder what he is going to say about that, but he should have known better than trusting any of you young people." Justin could feel the sheer vileness coming out of the man's mouth with every word he said. He already knew for certain that Lorenzo had something against him, but he could not just back down because of a date. He had to stand his ground and face the man square on."Okay, I'll play your game," he said. "Heh" scoffed the man. "You seem to be smarter than I had thought. Perhaps some of you young people have a bit of responsibility in you after all.""You will be surprised," Justin added. Lorenzo gave no repli

    There was a way Justin positioned himself that occurred to the middle aged business man that he was not a novice. Lorenzo tried has best to think that may be he might just be seeing things, and did not want to believe in what he was looking at. With the golf club raised, Justin had the man's heart beating extremely fast. Faster than he had imagined it would beat, because he liked to think of Justin, as a mere nobody that could not hold up to his standards, not even a bit of it.But with one swing of the golf club, everything went down the drain. All the expectations, all the fears he had that Justin could be even more than what he thought, went down the drain, as Justin missed the ball, and instead dug up a pile of red dirt from the floor.Lorenzo nearly laughed his guts out at this. "What the hell is this?" He said as his laughter pervaded the entire area. "You can't play for shit. You are worse than I thought."The laughter continued, with Lorenzo only taking short breaks to churn

    The next shot Justin took, fired the ball far up in the sky. Lorenzo's laughter paused as he saw how far it went, and then crashed down."Well what can I say? Is that not just a fluke?" He asked, preparing to lunch himself into another series of mockery and jesting, but something incredible happened, the ball, as though it was being willed by some invisible hand, rolled itself into a hole.There was a round of applause from the corner. Mark had started clapping and cheering for his boss who had made a clean score into a hole from a distance, as marvelous as it seemed and sounded.Justin remained as cool and collected as usual. While Lorenzo who was awe struck at the time, turned to Mark who was still applauding. "Shut up, you assistant boy. This must be some sort of trickery at play. How can someone who was unable to hit a ball at first trials, is now able to score like that. It must be a trick. Or a fluke."Justin turned back to look at Lorenzo and said, "sir you really need to stop

    Justin smiled dryly like a novice who just made an accidental, good shot. He raised the golf club and placed it gently on his shoulder. Lorenzo looked at him still shocked and unable to believe he had just pulled those shots. He wanted to say something to him but he did not know what to say. He nodded and went on with the game, promising himself that the shots were just accidental. But he was far from right. And for someone who did not know Justin as a person, he was in for a lot more than what he had just seen.Justin acted like he did not know what he was doing, but every shot he delivered after the first two perfect ones were shots that would be tagged professional, anywhere in the world. He smiled as he thought of how he learned to play. For a moment, he had thoughts about his father and how good of a relationship they would have had if he hadn't betrayed his mother like that. Even if he planned to forgive his father and eventually did, he would never be able to forget about it, b

    They kept playing the game and more times than he aced it, he failed. His hiss with every miss was literally music to Justin's ears. Many a times, Justin almost laughed out loud, but he was able to stop himself from doing so. Gradually, the game was coming to an end and Justin was leading with a much higher score than that of Lorenzo.Finally, the game came to an end. Although, it was not the end Lorenzo was expecting, he walked towards Justin and the two men shook hands."Good game, Justin. Good game." Lorenzo said sharply and quickly walked out of the course, without letting Justin reply. Justin followed behind him with a mischievous smile and the golf club held around the back of his neck. Lorenzo took a bottle of spring water and gave it to Justin. And then, he took one for himself. "That was a good game." Justin said, now that he finally had a hold on the supposed professional. He spoked casually, like it meant nothing. To him, it did not. But he knew it meant a lot to Lorenzo.

    Justin shook his hand with a fulfilled smile. He had finally achieved what he wanted and could now proceed to officiating the purchase."Thank you too. You are a good person." Justin stated as took the bottled water off the table and took a sip. "So how would you like to receive the payment? Electronic transfer or cash?" "An electronic transfer will be better. I will forward my account details to you so you can do what you have to do.""How about the documents? When do I receive them? You know, to finalize the purchase officially." Justin enquired and sat back."That will not be a problem. The moment I receive the money, then the documents will be handed to you however you want it. Delivered to your headquarters, or to your house. Even if you want to get it yourself...""I guess that is the option I prefer. I will get it directly from you, or anyone who is supposed to deliver it to me. After that, I will need to meet with the with all the managers of the different branches all over t

    The room was silent when Justin re-entered. His expression was cold and disbelieving. There was no need for an explanation to the group still seated around the table for what had happened. The tension hung in the air. Every person in the room knew, it seemed, instinctively that a bomb had just gone off.And the consequences will cause serious damage. Mark sat at the head of the table. His fingers tapped the polished wood nervously. His usual confident demeanor was gone. It was replaced by a feeling of discomfort radiating from him. Justin could see it in the way his eyes avoided his gaze. But there had been more-something darker, something deeper. Silently, Justin walked toward the tabletop; his footsteps rang harsh in the otherwise silent room. Mark's eyes flicked up, catching everything else for the briefest instant before quickly looking down.“Everyone out,” Justin said, his voice harsh, commanding. There was no space for dissent.The team, sensing the heaviness of the moment,

    Justin sat in his office, staring at the files Mark had delivered earlier. The quiet hum of the city outside his window was a stark contrast to the storm raging inside him. A leak found in his own company—what he thought was kept safe—had just turned into a full-blown leak. People close to him are betraying him. And he didn't know who it was.In his head, Mark's words played on repeat, but it was the stabbing betrayal that hurt the most. He had single-handedly built this company as anything by steel-back-end deals, through a relentless strategy, and with the will to establish iron-clad grounds for its existence. And now, someone within his entire circle began tearing it all apart and selling to the highest bidder. A slap against the face, and Justin wasn't certain how to take it. He instantly picked the phone, dialing Mark's number. It rang once and twice, and right then came Mark's voice.“Justin?”“Where are we with the leak?” Justin’s voice was clipped, every word laced with an

    Upon waking, Justin felt gnawing uneasiness. He had won relatively hard and long, but as he walked in the office that morning, something was not right; the air felt heavy, the tension intense and indiscernible. Somehow, Justin couldn't seem to shake an inner feeling that someone was still perhaps watching, waiting for just the right moment to make his move.“Good morning, Mr. Drogonuv,” Mark’s voice broke through the silence as Justin walked into his office. The assistant’s usual upbeat tone was tinged with something more serious. “We need to talk.”Justin raised his eyebrows but waved his hand for Mark to continue. "what happened?" Mark's expression was tense, and Justin immediately felt a sense of urgency in the room.“It’s about the company’s recent movements. "I notice a few discrepancies in our financial reports. At first, I thought it was simply an oversight, but I now doubt it," Justin's heartbeat sped up. “What kind of irregularities?”“A few transactions that don’t add up.

Her eyes narrowed as she examined the information in front of her. “Ethan's downfall has left a void in the market,” Justin said in a low but firm tone,

    The days that followed the media explosion were chaotic. Ethan’s empire, once a towering structure of influence and wealth, was now a crumbling shell. He had endured the tumult of the tragedy caused by the scandal of Samuel Dayton, more than anything that Justin had ever expected. It had spread so far and caused investors to back out. But Justin was well aware that it was not yet over. He was indeed cornered, but that did not mean he was out of the game.One evening, Justin sat in his office, the dim light from his desk lamp lighting up long shadows on the wall.

    The days that followed Justin’s decisive actions were filled with calculated moves and whispered strategy. Every step he took was a deliberate play in a game where only one could win. Ethan, however, wasn’t just a rival; he was a shadow, a figure always lurking, always ready to strike when least expected. But Justin had learned how to deal with shadows. And this time, he wasn’t afraid of them.Glassy, chilly and eerie, stillness filled the morning air. Just as Justin finished his very first cup of coffee, his phone bleeped with an alert from Ava. His fingers hovered over the screen as the text message loaded:"We’ve got a problem. One of Ethan’s shell companies just made a huge transfer—directly into the account of a prominent politician."A chill ran through Justin’s veins. The realization struck him like a fist to the gut. This wasn’t just a financial maneuver; this was a move that could bring everything crashing down. Ethan had gone from playing the corporate game to playing polit

    The morning after the war had been declared, Justin was already on the offensive. He knew it wasn’t going to be easy—Ethan wouldn’t sit back and let him take control without retaliating. But Justin had learned long ago that the best defense was a good offense. And if Ethan thought he could break him, he was gravely mistaken.The day started with a call from Ava. She was his eyes and ears in the media world, and if there was anyone who could keep the pressure on Ethan, it was her."Everything’s set," Ava said, her voice crisp and focused. "We’ve got the story ready to drop. I’ve coordinated with the biggest outlets. By this afternoon, Ethan’s going to be on the defensive."Justin reclined, swaying to the beat, tapping his fingers back and forth on his desk."Make sure we control the narrative. We can’t afford any loose ends. I want Ethan’s involvement in every shady deal and backdoor negotiation to be on full display.""Understood. I’ll make sure his reputation takes the hit it deserve

    The next day, Justin awoke sooner than his usual time, as his mind was already treading the mental paths of what had transpired. Lilly's disloyalty hurt him, but quickly the pain began to replace itself by a cold resolve. He was this way because he was relentless- because he flatly refused to bow down. And that wouldn’t change now.He walked into his office, his haven where he had made multitudes of decisions concerning the fate of his empire. The walls were not comforting at all today; they were lined with dark mahogany, closing in on him. There was a scent of coffee-heavenly, fresh, and inviting, but equally intent on leaving him in the throes of angers light and storm inside his chest. Mark stood by the window, his frame silhouetted against the golden light of these early hours. Definitely, he has been with Justin for years, unwavering in his loyalty. But today, even Mark could sense the shift in the atmosphere. The tension was thick, heavy. Justin hadn’t said much since his co
