When the negotiations started at the hotel, Jolce's team we're already there.

After few days that the hotel was bought by Justin, the name had been changed to something he coined and it was hung proudly outside. It was a different feeling as Jolce walked around the hotel with an air of confidence through the grand entrance.

As they settled into the conference room that was supposed to hold the meeting and negotiations, Jolce could see Leland as he had on a smug demeanor the moment he walked into the hotel. It did not look like he noticed the little changes in the hotel. He had not felt the change in power Dynamics.

“Good morning and welcome back Mr Leland” Jolce greeted him with a polite smile and nod. She tried to hide the triumph in her voice. “I hope you do not mind the change of location to this place for better convenience.”

Leland's face contorted but he had to compose himself quickly in order not to give himself away. “Well, it still will not change anything Miss Jolce. You a

Jolce was with Justin and her team members, seated comfortably in the lounge area, enjoying some drinks.Jolce was so comfortable because the hotel now belong to Justin. An hotel he bought solely because of her. He did not buy it in her name, so it does not belong to her. But the fact that he acquired it because of her alone made it so special. It was a move that made her belief and trust in Justin more solidified. He has always been there for her and he had shown her times and times over that there is nothing he can not do to support her and her dreams. She was glad she met him. Not just meeting him but she was glad she did not judge him by his looks when she met him unlike how others do to him. Now she is the girlfriend of the wealthiest person on Earth. Although sometimes, she finds that very hard to believe and accept. He does not look like it. He was just a young man wh

    “Well, I could not let him run over you like a rag. Besides, I believe you are the best choice from the beginning.” He moved her away towards a quieter part of the hallway, away from the cheering. Jolce's heart was filled with gratitude and admiration for him. “It is great how you were able to influence this. You are amazing.”“Well, you do not have to thank me. I just know how to recognize potential when I see it.” He said as he winked at her. “But this achievement is all on you. Trust me, you really put in the hard work and that you got it shows that you truly deserve it.”Jolce looked at him lovingly and felt like kissing him. But they were still in the hallway, no matter how quiet it may be around there. Justin noticed it and understood. He held her close to him as he tried to kiss her. He placed his lips gently on hers, enveloping her lower lips on his mouth. Jolce also responded. They were like that for a minute before they disengaged.“Well,what should we do to celebrate this?

    “Well, for one, we will need to be proactive in whatever we do. If he believes he can catch us off guard, then he is greatly mistaken.” Justin said as he leaned back in his chair to allow him think very well. He was trying to brainstorm ideas on what to do. “We will try to gather all our records and make sure everything is in order and transparent. If he truly wants to launch an investigation, then we will be ready with evidence of our integrity.”“That sounds like a very good idea,”Jolce said in agreement. She felt her shaky confidence taking form again. “Let us make sure we have everything in a proper documentation. If he wants to play dirty, then we will show him that we are not afraid of him or to stand our ground.”Justin nodded back to her. “Let us finish this meeting first and we can discuss about it better.” Jolce looked at Justin knowingly, understanding what he meant immediately.After the meeting was over, both of them retired into a private room to talk and brainstorm mor

    Justin looked once more at the documents on did desk as he tried to confirm the final details of the acquisition deal. Today is the day he would close the deal. It was a deal to buy a bank to help a friend who had been there for him when things were not good. He was not poor like Justin back then but he always come through whenever Justin ask him for help, even when others do turn him away. His name was Alan. Justin could not think of any other way to help other than through this deal. And he wanted to do it in a way that it would not cause a lot of stir.Alan owns a business which deal in manufacturing but due to some sudden shift in market, the company had fallen on hard times and struggling to keep up with production. He could not get a reasonable financing. He had reached out to banks to get loans but he was denied or given terms that look very predatory to his business.

    Alan's eyes looked up at Justin in surprise. He could not believe his ears. “Wait…. You…. bought a bank for this?”Justin nodded as he continued to maintain his casual and calm demeanor. “It is not just for this. This bank has some potential, it just needed a new leadership which I am happy to lead. But as for you, this bank will be able to help you with the kind of support that the big banks would not even consider to propose to you. And it will be a one time bail out. You will have access to reliable financial support.”Alan was so shocked that he was just staring at Justin, speechless for a moment before he shook his head. “Justin, I do not even know what to say…. This is beyond anything I expected when I was on my way here. I was actually planning to shut down operations, sell everything, and let the business go. This….this right here changes everything.”Justin leaned forward with a serious tone. “Then I hope you do not waste it, Alan. This is your chance to rebuild your company,

Unlike those bigger banks that have predatory policies which is not unusual to them, Brookshire's new approach was that of fair and sustainable growth. He made the calculated risk of becoming the backbone of local businessmen in a way that would yield long-term benefits not just for the bank but for the community at large.On a lovely morning, he had a meeting in his office with the new management team he had carefully put together.

    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

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.

    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.

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

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.
