A collective gasp filled the air as the clubgoers witnessed the unexpected turn of events. Murmurs spread like wildfire, and some expressed their displeasure at the interruption, angered by the abrupt halt of the music that had been setting the atmosphere.

"Hey, what's going on? Why did the music stop?" one patron complained.

Others craned their necks to get a better view of the unfolding drama. Shock and confusion gripped the crowd.

The DJ, visibly frustrated by the sudden disruption, slammed his hands on the console. He shot a glare at the commotion, and his irritation was evident.

"What the hell is happening here? This is not a wrestling ring!" he yelled into the microphone.

"Who the hell kicked my equipment? You better have a good explanation for this mess!”

At that moment, the man in boxers and singlet walked over, pointed at Benjamin, and yelled,

“It's him; he's the one who caused all this.”

Following the man's voice, all eyes fell on him, mixed with shock as people wondered w

    The entire place remained quiet until the man who had attempted to harass Cordelia stepped forward, twisting the story and placing the blame on Benjamin and Cordelia, accusing them of starting a fight and damaging the club's machines.Mixtic's eyes widened in disbelief as he directed a sharp glare at Benjamin and Cordelia in the midst of the unfolding drama.Suddenly, a sharp slap echoed through the room as Mixtic raised his hand and struck the man who had narrated the distorted story. "Where are your clothes?" Mixtic demanded. Ahh! The slap from Mixtic was so forceful that the man spat out a tooth, the sound echoing through the stunned silence. A collective gasp swept through the onlookers as shock and whispers filled the room. The man, now covering his cheeks, attempted to lie to Mixtic about his disheveled state. "Boss, it's... it's a misunderstanding," he stammered, a nervous tremor in his voice. "I, uh, just had a little scuffle, you know, nothing serious. My clothes... well,

    "Ok, ok, let's..." Cordelia's sentence trailed off as she suddenly collapsed into Benjamin's arms. The wine was now taking its full effect."Let's go," Benjamin said, holding her tightly. He threw her arm around his neck and helped her out. Getting outside, they went straight to the parking lot where Benjamin sat in the car with Cordelia. He started the engine and drove off.Cordelia was asleep in the car while Benjamin drove. He turned to look at her; she had a beautiful white face, and her features looked flushed, making her appear even more enchanting. Staring at her lips alone was tempting.Benjamin smiled and moved one hand to her hair, gently stroking it. "You look so beautiful, Ms. Winslow." The tender expression on his face revealed a mixture of admiration and affection as he continued driving, making sure she was comfortable.All of a sudden, with her eyes shut, Cordelia whispered in a soft, dreamy tone, "Am I really beautiful? You're lying." Benjamin looked at her and smile

    "No, master. I'm even glad you called; I'm working on something," Ezra replied.Benjamin nodded and said, "Cool. I have a task for you. You know Cordelia, right? Cordelia Winslow.""Yes, yes, I do. The lady who came over. What happened, master?" Ezra inquired."Nothing big. I just want you to do an investigation about her for me—her family, background, and stuff. Do it secretly; I need all the information about her," Benjamin instructed."No problem, master. When I'm done gathering everything, I'll inform you. Can you please send me her picture that you have?" Ezra requested."No problem. I'll do that after the call," Benjamin responded before ending the conversation.After the call, Benjamin went to bed. Meanwhile, at the Mirage Sound Club inside a nice room, Mixtic was seated with a light frown. He kept murmuring the name Benjamin Hayes as if something was wrong.He then looked around and asked his men to step out. After that, he took his phone out and dialed a number. If Benjamin w

    Cordelia beamed at Benjamin's compliments, a soft blush gracing her cheeks. "Thank you, Benjamin. Benjamin smiled lightly and said, "Take your seat; let me bring the food so you can eat."Cordelia nodded and sat down, eagerly waiting for him. Benjamin then served her a delightful plate and also served himself before sitting down.Cordelia opened the plate, revealing the delicious-looking coconut oily rice, delicately flavored with saffron, accompanied by a medley of garden-fresh vegetables, topped with succulent grilled shrimp, and drizzled with citrus-infused herb sauce. She picked up a spoon, took a bite, and closed her eyes lightly as she chewed.Benjamin paused, watching her closely and waiting for her response to the taste.After savoring the bite, Cordelia opened her eyes, a bit amazed, and said, "This is so good, Benjamin. Where did you learn it from?"Benjamin smiled and replied, "I've been into part-time work before, you know. I've worked as a waiter and more, so I used to w

    Olive shook her head and replied, "Sir, this is an opportunity for me as a real estate professional, so I'm happy to take on this challenge. I don't see it as a hard thing."Benjamin acknowledged her dedication and then asked, "Okay, so how many days do you think you'll need to find all these people?""Well, sir, it depends on the availability of funds. If the money is accessible, I should have everything set within a week," Olive explained.Nodding in understanding, Benjamin inquired, "So, for these initial arrangements, how much do you think you'll need?"Olive hesitated for a moment and then admitted, "I'm afraid the amount I'll mention might be insufficient. We might need more than that."Benjamin nodded, "That's not a problem. How much do you think can kickstart the project faster for us, for now?"Olive thought for a moment before responding, "Sir, considering the scale of the project, I would recommend a budget of over $3 million. This will allow us to engage top-tier professio

    Benjamin hushed her gently, placing a finger on her lips. "You have the right to use everything in this place, okay?" he reassured. Cordelia nodded and asked, "Are you sure you're not just saying that to be polite?"Benjamin grinned, "I don't say things just to be polite. You have that chance and also you genuinely looked beautiful, and I enjoyed watching you."Cordelia blushed slightly, "Well, in that case, thank you for the compliment."Benjamin chuckled, "Anytime. So, what made you decide to have a midnight swim?"Cordelia sighed, "Just needed a break from everything, you know? The water has this calming effect on me.”Benjamin nodded. “ No problem have fun then.” He said“Why not join me?” Cordelia asked in a soft tone. “Join you?” Benjamin chuckled. “I don't know how to swim so I dare not, have fun yourself.” He said“Well I can teach you how to swim, just simple, at least the little steps.” She sId.

    Moving out? What's wrong? It's not even the 20th day yet, right? We're only on the 9th day.Cordelia nodded and said, "I know, I'll give you back the balance.""Wait, why? Did I do anything wrong?" Benjamin asked."No, not at all. I just have to go to the next city to do something. I'll be going with my friend, and it's very important," she explained. "I didn't know it would be that fast; she informed me hours ago.""Your friend? You mean Hannah?" he asked.Cordelia nodded and said, "Yes, Hannah. It's just something to attend to, that's why. I didn't know it would be that fast; she informed me hours ago.""Is there any problem that I can help you with?" Benjamin inquired."No, not at all. You shouldn't worry much, Benjamin. I'll be fine," she reassured him.Benjamin nodded and asked, "So, when will you be back then?"Cordelia shook her head and explained that she didn't know, but it might take two weeks or more.Benjamin nodded and said, "Okay, take care when you go.

    "Shut up!" Marshall stepped on his foot. "If you try to advise me against what I want again, I'll throw you on the street. You're just a dog here, and yours is to follow instructions and do what I request of you, understood?”The butler lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry for speaking that way. Forgive me.""Sorry for yourself, know how to stay within your limits. Now tell me, does she have a boyfriend where she is?" Marshall asked.The butler shook his head and said, "To the information I gathered last time, she doesn't. She's teaching in a big university there called the Elysian University. She has only one friend, a lady. Apart from that, nothing else."Marshall gritted his teeth. "Is she that dumb? Even with all the money she could have made, she decided to go and work as a teacher for how much?" He cursed under his breath. "It's good she's not in any relationship; I would have killed whoever was in a relationship with her. We must find a way to bring her back; you have until t

    One of the officers adjusted his cap and asked, “Has it been 24 hours since he went missing?”Rudra shook his head, his frustration evident. “Not yet. But at the very least, they should have called by now—something, anything.” His voice was laced with unease, his mind struggling to make sense of the situation.The officer gave a reassuring nod. “Don’t worry, Mr. Stone. We’ll begin our investigation right away. We already have their pictures, which will make it much easier to track them down.”Rose exhaled shakily, gripping Rudra’s arm, while he gave the officers a curt nod. “Alright then. We trust you to find him.”The officers exchanged a glance before stepping out, their expressions turning serious as they walked toward their patrol car.As soon as they left, Rose turned to Rudra, her hands trembling. “What if—”Rudra cupped her face gently. “No what-ifs, Rose. We’ll find him. I promise you, everything will be fine.”She swallowed hard, nodding despite the fear in her eyes, holding

    Moments later, Rose Stone opened the door, her brows furrowing in concern. “Is something wrong?” she asked.Collins gestured toward the garage. “Mrs. Stone, I noticed you have a security camera outside. Does it record activity in the driveway or the street?”Rose’s expression brightened slightly as if a small glimmer of hope had sparked. “Yes, it should. We have a surveillance system installed. It records continuously.”Parker stepped forward. “Would it be possible to review the footage? It might give us a clue as to when your son left and if anyone else was in the area at the time.”“Of course,” Rose said quickly, opening the door wider. “Rudra! The officers need to see the security footage!”A moment later, Rudra Stone appeared in the foyer, his phone still in hand. “The footage? From the camera?” he asked, glancing between the officers and his wife.“Yes, Mr. Stone,” Collins replied. “It could be a critical lead. If your son left the house from this driveway, the footage might show

    Rudra’s response came swiftly. “Police? That’s not right. We don’t even know if something serious has happened.”“I’m telling you, Rudra,” Rose said firmly, “something feels off. I’ve tried all of his friends, and none of them have heard from him either. We need to file a missing person’s report.”Rudra paused. She could almost picture him pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance. “Rose, please. Let’s give it a little more time. You know how the police can be—once they start asking questions, it becomes a whole incident. He might just come waltzing in later tonight, laughing at us for worrying.”Rose’s voice tightened. “And what if that doesn’t happen? I don’t care about the inconvenience. My son could be in danger!”A tense silence crackled between them. Finally, Rudra spoke, quieter this time. “Alright. I’ll head home as soon as I can so we can discuss it together.”An hour later, the familiar rumble of Rudra Stone’s car pulling into the driveway echoed through the house. Rose q

    “I was just—” Maverick swallowed hard. “I said that to Brianna because… because I wanted her attention. I made it up. I swear! I didn’t think it’d get back to you!”Austin glanced at his brother, a flicker of frustration dancing in his eyes. He didn’t buy it. “You expect us to believe you’d throw around a rumor like that for no reason?”Maverick clenched his fists behind his back, the rope digging into his wrists. “I—had issues with Benjamin before,” he admitted, voice trembling. “But I wouldn’t do anything to him. I’m not a killer. You have to believe me.”Matthew let go of Maverick’s chin, straightening up. He exchanged a look with Austin, who ran a hand through his hair in exasperation. The same dead end, over and over.“You keep saying that,” Austin muttered, pacing in a small circle. “But Benjamin’s missing, possibly dead, and you’re the only lead we’ve got. You’d better come up with something.”“I can’t give you what I don’t have,” Maverick pleaded, breathing heavily, his waterl

    Benjamin glanced at Cipherella, a subtle smile tugging at his lips. “Your hacking will also give us access to incriminating data. If you can tap into phone records, emails—anything tying Darnell to political figures or top officials—we’ll use that as leverage. The more dirt we have, the more isolated he becomes.” “We want to scare off corrupt politicians and bankers who enable him. When they realize we can expose them, they’ll abandon Darnell to protect themselves. That weakens his connections even more.” “While we’re dismantling Darnell’s network,” Benjamin said, nodding at Abdelkarim, “we place you front and center, building alliances with smaller gangs or influential locals who hate Darnell. Show them there’s a better alternative.” “Meanwhile, Cipherella will manage intel—gathering contact info, forging secure communication channels, and ensuring Darnell doesn’t learn too much about us.” “Eventually, we’ll lure him to a vulnerable position—somewhere away from his heavily guarded

    Abdelkarim smiled proudly, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction at the selection. “This, master, is Fatteh,” he said, pointing to the large bowl of creamy yogurt sauce layered over crispy pita bread, chickpeas, and a golden drizzle of ghee, topped with pine nuts and fresh parsley. He moved his finger to the next dish. “And this is Kibbeh, spiced lamb wrapped in bulgur and fried to a crispy perfection.” Next, he gestured toward a sizzling plate of skewers. “Shish Tawook, tender chicken marinated in garlic, lemon, and paprika, served with flatbread,” he explained, the warm scent of grilled meat filling the space. To his left, a bowl of Mujadara caught Benjamin’s eye—earthy lentils and rice topped with caramelized onions. Abdelkarim pointed at it. “That’s Mujadara. Simple, but hearty and full of flavor.” He then reached for a bowl of hummus and Baba Ghanoush. “And these are two of our staples—Hummus, made from chickpeas and tahini, and Baba Ghanoush, a smoky eggplant dip,” he said, his p

    The rugged man clenched his fists, his pride warring with his fear. “You can’t be serious,” he hissed, his voice barely above a whisper.Abdelkarim cocked the gun audibly, tilting his head. “Do I look like I’m joking?”Reluctantly, the rugged man lowered himself to his knees, the humiliation evident on his face. His companions followed suit, each moving with visible hesitation. The restaurant’s patrons and staff watched in stunned silence, their eyes wide as they bore witness to the surreal scene.One of the men reached for Abdelkarim’s shoe, his hand shaking as he wiped at it with his sleeve. Abdelkarim smirked, glancing down at their feeble attempts. “Pathetic,” he muttered. “Put some effort into it.”As the men continued their reluctant task, Abdelkarim’s tone turned colder. “Now, let’s add some respect to the mix. Each of you will address me properly while you’re down there.”The rugged man looked up, his face twisted with fury and shame. “What do you mean?”Abdelkarim leaned in s

    The room fell into an eerie silence, the earlier chatter and laughter evaporating like smoke. All eyes were on Abdelkarim, who stood tall with the gun firmly in his grasp. Even the rugged man who had slapped him seemed caught off guard, his eyes widening in a mix of disbelief and anger.Benjamin, who had been calmly observing moments earlier, straightened in his seat, his sharp gaze narrowing as he assessed the situation. He hadn't anticipated this escalation, and for a fleeting moment, his surprise flickered across his face. Cipherella, sitting beside him, froze, her lips parting slightly as her eyes darted between Abdelkarim and the scarred man.The tension was palpable. The rugged man pushed his chair back slightly, his hands clenching into fists as if ready to retaliate. His companions, who had been laughing moments ago, now looked uneasy, their confidence shaken."You think this is funny?" Abdelkarim said, his voice steady, but the undercurrent of anger was unmistakable. He point

    The room went tense as Abdelkarim froze, his gaze darting nervously to the man’s threatening expression. Around them, a few other patrons glanced over.Cipherella’s delicate brows furrowed with concern as she leaned closer to Benjamin, her voice barely above a whisper. "Master, they’re trying to bully him," she said, her eyes darting between Abdelkarim and the rugged man.Benjamin didn’t respond immediately. His sharp gaze remained fixed on the scene, observing every detail—the posture of the men, Abdelkarim’s unease, and the simmering tension in the air. Finally, he nodded slowly and said, "Let’s just watch for now.”"But Master—" Cipherella started, her worry evident."Relax," Benjamin interrupted gently, his tone calm but firm. "Let’s see how he handles himself first. If things go too far, I’ll step in."Cipherella hesitated, but she trusted Benjamin’s judgment. She bit her lip and stayed quiet, her hands clasped tightly in her lap as her eyes returned to Abdelkarim.Meanwhile, Abd
