Marshall’s eyes flicked between Cordelia and Benjamin, his anger barely contained. "This document is straightforward. It’s about managing the properties efficiently. Are you questioning my intentions?”

Benjamin didn’t back down. "If it's so straightforward, you shouldn't mind explaining a few details. For instance, why does this document grant a non-revocable power of attorney to a third-party firm? And why is that firm conveniently one that you control?"

Marshall’s face reddened further. "That’s standard legal language for management purposes. You're twisting things.”

Benjamin pressed on, his voice firm. "Standard legal language usually doesn't strip the owner of all control over their assets. It looks like you’re trying to take over Cordelia's inheritance under the guise of management."

Cordelia’s eyes widened as she looked at the document again, understanding dawning on her. "Oh really? Were you trying to take ever

    Cordelia turned to face him, her eyes searching his for any sign of doubt. "But what if it's too much?" she asked hesitantly, her heart laid bare before him. "What if I'm not strong enough?"Benjamin's gaze softened, a tender smile playing at the corners of his lips. "You are the strongest person I know," he whispered. "You've faced challenges that would break most people, and yet here you are, still standing.”Cordelia's breath caught in her throat, her heart swelling with emotion at his words. "And what about you?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper. "What if I'm not enough to save you from your own demons?"Benjamin's expression softened, his fingers gently tracing the contours of her face. "You already have," he murmured. "You've brought light into the darkest corners of my soul, chased away the shadows that once haunted me.”Cordelia looked at Benjamin with a smile, without a word, she reached up and pulled him into a fierce, passionate kiss. Her lips were insistent, hot and d

    Benjamin chuckled, wrapping his arms around her. "Are you sure you want me to leave?" he teased, pulling her closer.Cordelia smiled, brushing a strand of hair from his forehead. "Maybe not just yet," she whispered, leaning in to kiss him again. The intensity of their earlier moment returned, but there was a tender, lingering sweetness to it now.They stayed like that for a few more minutes, wrapped in each other’s warmth, before Cordelia finally sighed. "Okay, now you really should go," she said softly, though she made no move to get off him.Benjamin nodded, understanding. "Alright," he said, giving her one last kiss. "But I'll be back early tomorrow."Cordelia smiled, sliding off him and helping him gather his clothes. "I'll be waiting," she said, watching as he dressed. Benjamin left after that. Getting into his room, Benjamin didn’t go to sleep. Instead, he opened his laptop and began searching for beautiful proposal rings for his girlfriend. He scrolled through countless images

    The driver turned to Benjamin just as he was about to step out. "Sir, may I come in as well?"Benjamin paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, follow us. It won't take long."The driver smiled gratefully and quickly got out of the car, joining Benjamin and Helen as they walked toward the entrance of the jewelry store.The three of them entered the store, the luxurious interior immediately drawing their attention. Sparkling displays of diamonds, gold, and other precious gems lined the walls. As Benjamin, Helen, and the driver entered the opulent jewelry store, a well-dressed sales associate promptly approached them. Her smile was professional and welcoming."Good morning, sir. How may we assist you today?" she asked, her eyes briefly flickering over the group before settling on Benjamin, who exuded an air of quiet authority.Benjamin returned her smile politely. "Good morning. I'm looking for an engagement ring. Something unique and exquisite."The associate's eyes lit up at the prosp

    "It's me," Benjamin replied, stepping forward.The cashier frowned, her eyes narrowing in suspicion. "Please choose another ring from our general display area, not from the private viewing section."Benjamin's brows furrowed in confusion and annoyance. "Why? She was the one who sent us there," he said, pointing to the sales associate who had assisted him.The cashier glanced at the associate and then back at Benjamin. "Don't you know the rings there are expensive? Does he look like someone who can afford it?" she remarked dismissively. Benjamin's eyes hardened, and he stood taller. "Is this how you treat your customers? Judging their ability to pay based on your own instincts?”Helen and the driver exchanged glances, clearly uncomfortable with the situation but ready to support Benjamin.The cashier looked slightly taken aback by Benjamin's response but held her ground. "It's company policy to ensure—"Benjamin cut her off, his voice firm and unwavering. "Your company policy should i

    Sensing Cordelia's lack of interest, Rose switched topics, trying to find something that might engage her niece. "Or maybe we could look at some accessories? A new handbag, perhaps? You can never have too many handbags.” Cordelia forced a small smile, trying to muster some enthusiasm for Rose's sake. "Sure, let's look at handbags." As they moved from store to store, Rose kept up a steady stream of chatter, suggesting items and asking for Cordelia's opinion. Despite her efforts, Cordelia's responses remained subdued, her thoughts clearly elsewhere. "So, how about we get some lunch after this? There's that new café everyone has been talking about. We could grab a bite and maybe a coffee," Rose suggested, trying to lighten the mood. Cordelia nodded absently. "That sounds fine." Meanwhile, a sleek black car pulled up to the side of the mall, its tinted windows concealing the identities of the passengers inside. Three men sat inside, each wearing black face masks that hid their feature

    "Good, bring it," Benjamin said, taking a seat.Rakshasha retrieved a newspaper from a nearby table and handed it to Benjamin. The newspaper looked extremely old, its yellowed pages brittle and edges frayed. It was more than 8 years old, and its age showed in every crease and tear.Benjamin unfolded the paper carefully, revealing a headline that read: "Tragic Accident Claims Lives of Winslow Family CEO and Wife." The accompanying photograph depicted a horrific scene: a car, utterly crushed, with a large truck looming ominously in the background. The truck's registration number, partially obscured by the wreckage but still legible, read: "TRK-45829.”"Write down the truck's registration number," Benjamin instructed the team, ensuring everyone had the critical detail documented."Finally, we have the truck number," Benjamin said with a note of relief. "We need to check its registration."Cipherella looked up from her computer. "Master, I can check the database for all registered numbers

    Parker provided his details, and Benjamin swiftly transferred the money. "Check your account," Benjamin instructed.After a moment, Parker's voice came back, astonished. "I got it. Five thousand dollars. Alright, I'll help you. Let me check the records now."A few minutes later, Helen's phone rang again. She quickly answered, and Parker's voice came through, now respectful and cooperative."Helen, it's Parker. I checked the records. The car from the Winslow accident is still here, archived in the back section of the lot.Benjamin took the phone from Helen again. "Mr. Parker, is it possible for us to come and take the vehicle?"Parker sighed. "I'm afraid that's impossible. No outsider is allowed to come and take a look, let alone take the vehicle. It's against the regulations."Benjamin frowned but kept his tone calm. "Is there any way around this? We really need to examine that car."Parker hesitated. "I understand, but the rules are strict. There's no way I can authorize that.”Benja

    As he finished, a sense of relief washed over him. The hard part was over, and he could now report back with the vital information needed. Meanwhile, back at the base, Benjamin was pacing around the room, his mind consumed with anticipation and impatience. With each step, he mentally urged Parker to hurry with his task, knowing that time was of the essence in their investigation. Helen observed Benjamin's restless demeanor and finally spoke up. "What will you use the VIN number for, Benjamin?” Stopping in his tracks, Benjamin turned to face her, his expression focused. "The VIN number is crucial. It will help us trace the car's manufacture and gather important details about its history. With that information, we can piece together the puzzle of what happened and who may have been involved." Helen nodded, understanding the significance of the VIN number in their investigation. "I see. So, it's like a key that unlocks vital information about the car's origins and past.” "Exactly,"

    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

    As they entered, Benjamin's gaze swept over the bustling interior of the establishment. The atmosphere was thick with chatter, clinking glasses, and faint music playing in the background. At one side of the room, a group of rugged-looking men occupied a long table. They were loud, drinking and eating heartily, with wisps of smoke curling from the cigarettes and cigars they casually puffed.Their appearances were striking—some had jagged scars running across their cheeks.Others had scarves tied around their heads, their expressions hard and uninviting, with sharp eyes that scanned the room like predators on the lookout. A few wore leather jackets with frayed edges, while others had rugged shirts and boots.Benjamin took note but didn’t linger on them. Instead, he calmly made his way to an unoccupied corner on the other side of the room. He settled into a chair with an air of quiet authority, his face betraying no hint of concern. Cipherella followed closely, her gaze flickering brief

    Benjamin settled back onto the couch, gesturing for Cipherella to sit. She listened intently as he recounted the night's events."Cipherella," he began, "I met Abdelkarim yesterday. His boss wasn’t exactly treating him right, and he seemed ready for a change."Abdelkarim shifted uneasily, but Benjamin continued. "We ended up being followed by three of Darnell's men. They tried to corner us, but I convinced them to switch sides and work for me. Abdelkarim here was part of that, and he’s proven he’s willing to take on something bigger.”Cipherella raised an eyebrow, intrigued but cautious. “And they just… agreed? Just like that?”Benjamin nodded, a faint smirk playing on his lips. "Sometimes all it takes is to show someone what they’re worth. They’d been risking their lives for scraps. Now, they have a reason to be loyal." He glanced at Abdelkarim, who looked both grateful and a little overwhelmed.Cipherella sighed, finally relaxing a bit. “If you trust him, Master, then that’s enough
