"Drop that weapon in your hands to the ground or you lose it!" The man commanded in a deep voice. "I.. I will do just…" Michael stammered, as he bent to drop the gun to the ground, but quickly grabbed it again and pointed it towards the man.

As they approached the grand gates of the estate, the sight of the opulent mansion standing against the backdrop of a scarred land was a reminder of what had been fought for.Inside the mansion, Lord Puttin awaited their arrival with a tense anticipation. His eyes, though narrowed in suspicion, bore the gleam of relief that his rival had been dealt with. As Davin and his entourage entered the great hall, the atmosphere shifted from somber to strained, yet hopeful."Lord Puttin," Davin began, his voice steady despite the fatigue that clung to him.

Davin leaned back in his chair, letting the polished leather embrace him as he studied Helen's face, which was a mix of apprehension and relief. His confident demeanor seemed to bolster her, though she remained visibly uneasy.“Sir,” Helen began tentatively, “you’ve always had a knack for handling challenges. But Derek... he’s not someone to underestimate. He’s been working diligently and secretly for months. We’ve had reports of him meeting with key figures, and his efforts to destabilize us are serious.”Davin's eyes narrowed slightly, the intensity of his gaze softening into a thoughtful expression. He reached into his desk drawer and retrieved a folder. He flipped through a few pages, revealing documents and reports about the company’s recent developments. His finger tapped on a particularly interesting page—an analysis of shareholder activity.“Derek’s timing is rather ironic,” Davin said, his voice calm yet carrying an undercurrent of authority. “He chose the exact moment when t

When he got there, he observed the outer parts of his mansion from the folded curtains of his inner room, he could see several cars drive into the compound. It was no other day than a day to surrender his crown and title as the leading god of war. He could feel his heart heaving harder. Among the several luxurious cars that drove into the compound, a black Maserati rolled to a stop, its body glittering and polished. He observed the owner alight in a frantic rush, shaking hands with the others. When they got to speak with his guards, he understood they were looking out for him, so he turned back into the room to prepare for the events off the day.

Michael’s eyes were fixed on the scepter, his demeanor a volatile mix of eagerness and irritation.“Let’s get this over with,” Michael said, his voice edged with impatience as he stepped closer to the altar.Davin regarded him coolly, his grip firm on the symbols of power. “It’s not merely about getting it over with.

“Davin! Helen!” she called out, her voice loud enough to attract the attention of other visitors. “I heard about Mom. Is she okay?”“Maya,” Davin said, keeping his voice steady. “What are you doing here?”“I came to support my family,” she said, tilting her head slightly. “Isn’t that what family does?”Helen shot Davin a look, and he felt the tension rise between them. “Support?” he echoed, doubt lacing his tone. “Or to make sure everyone knows you’re here?”Maya laughed, a sound that felt more like a challenge. “Oh, come on. I know you’re not happy about my wedding plans, but can we not turn this into a competition? This is about Mom.”“Right. Let’s just focus on her,” Davin said, frustration boiling beneath the surface. “But don’t pretend that you aren’t looking for attention.”“Seriously, Davin?” Maya shot back, her voice sharp. “You think I’m here for a show? I’m worried about her too, you know.”“You have a funny way of showing it,” he replied, crossing his arms.“Enough,” Helen

What’s going on?”“They didn’t give me all the details, just that she needs immediate treatment,” Helen replied, her eyes brimming with concern. “They’re arranging a private jet to get her to the mainland for the best care.”“Why didn’t they call me?” he asked, rising from the table, the papers scattering as he stood.“I think t

The sun shone brightly overhead, and the market was a riot of colors and sounds. Families milled about, vendors called out their wares, and the laughter of children filled the air. The moment felt suspended in time, a perfect snapshot of happiness that Davin wished could last forever.“Let’s take a stroll down by the river after this,” Helen suggested, finishing her ice cream. “I heard they have a small arts and crafts fair set up along the walkway.”“Great idea! Mia, what do you think?” Davin

I can’t believe how much fun we had.”“I know! We need to do that more often,” he said, taking another sip of coffee. “It was nice to reconnect.”Helen smiled, the warmth of his words wrapping around her like a cozy blanket. “So, what’s on the agenda for today?
