"Stop being naughty," she chided him, though a hint of amusement danced in her eyes. "I'm not marrying anyone or having kids," she whispered to him.Chuckling, Benjamin leaned in closer to Cordelia. "We'll talk about that later. For now, let's just enjoy the party," he whispered back. Throughout the night, they danced, laughed, and made cherished memories with their friends and loved ones.As the birthday celebration came to an end, Benjamin approached Cordelia, his hand gently cupping her cheek.

"Which relationship?" Cordelia asked."Can you stop that?" Hannah replied. "What should Benjamin do to let you know how much he loves you? If he didn't love you, do you think he would have done all this for you?"Cordelia sighed. "Hannah, you know this already. I've told you several times I don't want to get married or be in a relationship.""Then be his baby mama," Hannah suggested. "Just carry his kids without any marriage if that's what you want.â"Isn't it the same thing, emotionally attached?" Cordelia countered. "I need none of these. I don't want to do anything about a relationship.""Come on, my dear, you need someone like Benjamin. Trust me, there are a lot of ladies who might be crushing on him. If they approach him and he realizes you're not even considering him, then trust me, he'll just accept one of them, and then I surely know that you'll be shattered.âCordelia sighed. "What do I do now, then?""Just give him what he wants. Fulfill his wishes. He loves you," Hannah adv

As he rose to find something to eat, his phone began to ring, displaying an unfamiliar number. With a slight frown, he answered. As he answered, Benjamin greeted the silence with a tentative "Hello? Hello?" but received no response. Growing increasingly frustrated, he repeated his hellos, each one more impatient than the last. Still, no reply came from the other end. Finally, with an irritated huff, he angrily hung up the call. Picking up his car key, Benjamin walked outside, intent o

"I'll be glad to assist you with the auto enhancement.âBenjamin nodded appreciating him before, the security guard at the gate opened the door and he drove away.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" he inquired.Ezra nodded before speaking. "I heard you don't have the ingredients for Lobster Thermidor.âRudra's expression turned grave. "I'm not aware of that, but I'll check with my assistant and the kitchen head. Did you want some?"Ezra shook his head. "Not for me, but for the young master himself. President Evelyn's son."Rudra gasped, his body trembling in fear. "The young master himself is at the hotel?" he exclaimed, stunned by the revelation.Although Rudra had not seen Evelyn, the main head of the business chains, he was well aware of her potential power due to h

One of the officers adjusted his cap and asked, âHas it been 24 hours since he went missing?âRudra shook his head, his frustration evident. âNot yet. But at the very least, they should have called by nowâsomething, anything.â His voice was laced with unease, his mind struggling to make sense of the situation.The officer gave a reassuring nod. âDonât worry, Mr. Stone. Weâll begin our investigation right away. We already have their pictures, which will make it much easier to track them down.âRose exhaled shakily, gripping Rudraâs arm, while he gave the officers a curt nod. âAlright then. We trust you to find him.âThe 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. âWhat ifââRudra cupped her face gently. âNo what-ifs, Rose. Weâll find him. I promise you, everything will be fine.âShe swallowed hard, nodding despite the fear in her eyes, holding
Chapter 446: Cctv footage
Moments later, Rose Stone opened the door, her brows furrowing in concern. âIs something wrong?â she asked.Collins gestured toward the garage. âMrs. Stone, I noticed you have a security camera outside. Does it record activity in the driveway or the street?âRoseâs expression brightened slightly as if a small glimmer of hope had sparked. âYes, it should. We have a surveillance system installed. It records continuously.âParker stepped forward. âWould 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.ââOf course,â Rose said quickly, opening the door wider. âRudra! The officers need to see the security footage!âA moment later, Rudra Stone appeared in the foyer, his phone still in hand. âThe footage? From the camera?â he asked, glancing between the officers and his wife.âYes, Mr. Stone,â Collins replied. âIt could be a critical lead. If your son left the house from this driveway, the footage might show

Rudraâs response came swiftly. âPolice? Thatâs not right. We donât even know if something serious has happened.ââIâm telling you, Rudra,â Rose said firmly, âsomething feels off. Iâve tried all of his friends, and none of them have heard from him either. We need to file a missing personâs report.âRudra paused. She could almost picture him pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance. âRose, please. Letâs give it a little more time. You know how the police can beâonce they start asking questions, it becomes a whole incident. He might just come waltzing in later tonight, laughing at us for worrying.âRoseâs voice tightened. âAnd what if that doesnât happen? I donât care about the inconvenience. My son could be in danger!âA tense silence crackled between them. Finally, Rudra spoke, quieter this time. âAlright.

âI was justââ Maverick swallowed hard. âI said that to Brianna because⌠because I wanted her attention. I made it up. I swear! I didnât think itâd get back to you!âAustin glanced at his brother, a flicker of frustration dancing in his eyes. He didnât buy it. âYou expect us to believe youâd throw around a rumor like that for no reason?âMaverick clenched his fists behind his back, the rope digging into his wrists. âIâhad issues with Benjamin before,â he admitted, voice trembling. âBut I wouldnât do anything to him. Iâm not a killer. You have to believe me.âMatthew let go of Maverickâs 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.âYou keep saying that,â Austin muttered, pacing in a small circle. âBut Benjaminâs missing, possibly dead, and youâre the only lead weâve got. Youâd better come up with something.ââI canât give you what I donât have,â Maverick pleaded, breathing heavily, his waterl

Benjamin glanced at Cipherella, a subtle smile tugging at his lips. âYour hacking will also give us access to incriminating data. If you can tap into phone records, emailsâanything tying Darnell to political figures or top officialsâweâll use that as leverage. The more dirt we have, the more isolated he becomes.â âWe want to scare off corrupt politicians and bankers who enable him. When they realize we can expose them, theyâll abandon Darnell to protect themselves. That weakens his connections even more.â âWhile weâre dismantling Darnellâs network,â Benjamin said, nodding at Abdelkarim, âwe place you front and center, building alliances with smaller gangs or influential locals who hate Darnell. Show them thereâs a better alternative.â âMeanwhile, Cipherella will manage intelâgathering contact info, forging secure communication channels, and ensuring Darnell doesnât learn too much about us.â âEventually, weâll lure him to a vulnerable positionâsomewhere away from his heavily guarded

Abdelkarim smiled proudly, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction at the selection. âThis, master, is Fatteh,â 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. âAnd this is Kibbeh, spiced lamb wrapped in bulgur and fried to a crispy perfection.â Next, he gestured toward a sizzling plate of skewers. âShish Tawook, tender chicken marinated in garlic, lemon, and paprika, served with flatbread,â he explained, the warm scent of grilled meat filling the space. To his left, a bowl of Mujadara caught Benjaminâs eyeâearthy lentils and rice topped with caramelized onions. Abdelkarim pointed at it. âThatâs Mujadara. Simple, but hearty and full of flavor.â He then reached for a bowl of hummus and Baba Ghanoush. âAnd these are two of our staplesâHummus, made from chickpeas and tahini, and Baba Ghanoush, a smoky eggplant dip,â he said, his p

The rugged man clenched his fists, his pride warring with his fear. âYou canât be serious,â he hissed, his voice barely above a whisper.Abdelkarim cocked the gun audibly, tilting his head. âDo I look like Iâm joking?âReluctantly, the rugged man lowered himself to his knees, the humiliation evident on his face. His companions followed suit, each moving with visible hesitation. The restaurantâs patrons and staff watched in stunned silence, their eyes wide as they bore witness to the surreal scene.One of the men reached for Abdelkarimâs shoe, his hand shaking as he wiped at it with his sleeve. Abdelkarim smirked, glancing down at their feeble attempts. âPathetic,â he muttered. âPut some effort into it.âAs the men continued their reluctant task, Abdelkarimâs tone turned colder. âNow, letâs add some respect to the mix. Each of you will address me properly while youâre down there.âThe rugged man looked up, his face twisted with fury and shame. âWhat do you mean?âAbdelkarim leaned in s
Chapter 440: Tables Turned
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 manâs threatening expression. Around them, a few other patrons glanced over.Cipherellaâs delicate brows furrowed with concern as she leaned closer to Benjamin, her voice barely above a whisper. "Master, theyâre trying to bully him," she said, her eyes darting between Abdelkarim and the rugged man.Benjamin didnât respond immediately. His sharp gaze remained fixed on the scene, observing every detailâthe posture of the men, Abdelkarimâs unease, and the simmering tension in the air. Finally, he nodded slowly and said, "Letâs just watch for now.â"But Masterâ" Cipherella started, her worry evident."Relax," Benjamin interrupted gently, his tone calm but firm. "Letâs see how he handles himself first. If things go too far, Iâll step in."Cipherella hesitated, but she trusted Benjaminâs judgment. She bit her lip and stayed quiet, her hands clasped tightly in her lap as her eyes returned to Abdelkarim.Meanwhile, Abd
