Just then, Marshall's phone started ringing again—another call from Jacob. He answered it, bracing himself.

"Marshall, this is unacceptable! Your nephew and Benjamin—this is the last straw!" Jacob yelled. "I will not tolerate this kind of disrespect. Do you have any idea what this looks like for our families?"

"Jacob, I understand, but—”

"No buts, Marshall! This needs to be addressed immediately. If you can't control your nephew, I will. You have no idea how furious I am. Fix this, or I will. Do you understand me? Your entire family's reputation is on the line here."

Marshall sighed deeply, feeling the weight of Jacob's words. "I'll handle it, Jacob. Trust me, I'll take care of it."

"You'd better, Marshall. Or there will be consequences. Mark my words," Jacob threatened before hanging up.

As the call ended, Marshall's face turned red with rage. He slammed the phone down on the table, his fury boiling over.

"Goddamn it!" he yelled. "Cordelia and that Benjamin! They’ve crossed the line

    Benjamin took the phone, watching the video play. He couldn't help but smile as he saw their special moment replayed. "Yes, that's us," he confirmed, handing the phone to Cordelia.Cordelia watched the video, her eyes widening with surprise and a hint of embarrassment. "I can't believe this is trending," she murmured, looking at Benjamin. "It feels so surreal."The other guests in the room started murmuring amongst themselves, some congratulating the couple, others pulling out their phones to watch the video themselves."Well, you two certainly know how to make an impression," one of the women said with a friendly smile.Benjamin chuckled, wrapping an arm around Cordelia's shoulders. "It wasn't planned to go viral, but I guess we did."Cordelia leaned into him, feeling a mix of emotions—surprise, happiness, and a touch of nervousness. "I guess this means our little moment wasn't so little after all.""No, it wasn't," Benjamin agreed, kissing her temple gently. "But as long as you're h

    Meanwhile, back at Elysian University, in the head office, sat a very beautiful young lady named Brianna. She had been enrolled at the university thanks to Benjamin's help, but for the past four months, Benjamin had not attended any classes. This absence had deeply worried Brianna. She had exhausted all her resources trying to reach him, but to no avail. She even attempted to meet his friends, but they were elusive. Today, she had finally secured a meeting with the principal.The principal, having just finished writing and putting his pen down, looked up at Brianna. "Who are you, young lady?""Principal sir, I'm Brianna from the business class," she replied."What do you want?" the principal asked."Sir, actually, a friend of mine and also a classmate hasn't been in class for about four months now, and it's getting me worried. I've tried to find out where he might be or what could be wrong, but I haven't had any success.""A friend of yours or your boyfriend?" the principal asked, scr

    "I don't care. I don't want to be your girlfriend nor be intimate with you. I've told you several times, can you stop bothering me? I'll report you."Maverick sneered and said, "I can buy this school if I want. Who will you report me to? Come on.""Please do not worry me," Brianna said, arching her hand about to get out when Maverick held her hand tight. "I heard you keep searching for someone in your class called Benjamin. Benjamin Hayes." Maverick chuckled. "You like him?" he asked."That's none of your business," Brianna replied."Well, well, to tell you, Benjamin is dead in case you don't know. Stop loving the ghost."Brianna's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean by Benjamin is dead? Trying to confuse me to accept you?""How many months have you seen him? He's dead. As I said, you'll wait and wait, and nothing will come," Maverick said smugly. He still thought Benjamin was dead because, that night, after receiving a call from Mixtic Romras' men that they'd finished Benjamin, h

    As she hurried back to the kitchen to fetch the nachos, she could feel the other patrons' eyes on her, their whispers and laughter cutting through her like a knife. She fought to keep her composure, determined to get through her shift despite the humiliation and abuse. She had no other choice but to endure it for now, hoping that one day she could escape this nightmare and rebuild her life.She returned with a fresh plate of nachos and set it down carefully in front of the men. "Here you go, gentlemen. Fresh and hot."The burly man smirked but didn't say anything. Irene turned to leave when another man at the table called out, "Hey, you got our drinks wrong. I asked for a beer, not this cheap stuff."Irene frowned, remembering clearly that he had ordered what she brought. "I'm sorry, sir. I'll get you a beer right away.”As she reached for the glass, the man slapped her hand away, causing it to spill. "You can't do anything right, can you?" he snarled, standing up and slapping her acr

    Soon after the day was over, Benjamin and Cordelia returned to their hotel room."Whoo, that was a very long stressful day. Thank you for all the activities today. I really enjoyed it," Cordelia said to Benjamin with a smile.Benjamin smiled back at her. "You're welcome. It's late already, and I'm pretty tired. I'll go wash up and then come sleep."Cordelia nodded. "I'll also take my bath too when you're done.”"No problem, go first before I come then. I'll wait for you," Benjamin said."Alright, thanks." Cordelia nodded and walked into the shower.Immediately after she walked away, Benjamin's phone started ringing. He pulled it out and answered instantly."Rakshasha, is there any problem?" he asked."Yes, master. We have Lars Johansen now. We've caught and brought him to the base," Rakshasha reported."Good, good. That was fast," Benjamin responded. "I'll come there tonight. My woman is here, so when she's actually asleep, I'll be there," Benjamin said in a low voice."Alright then,

    Benjamin looked up from his phone and smiled back at her. "Great. I’ll be quick."Cordelia nodded and walked over to the bed, sitting down and beginning to dry her hair with another towel. Benjamin got up, grabbed his nightwear, and headed towards the bathroom.As he passed her, he leaned down and gave her a quick kiss on the forehead. "I'll be out in a bit," he said softly before disappearing into the bathroom.Soon, Benjamin emerged from the bathroom, freshly showered and dressed in comfortable nightwear. He smiled at Cordelia as he walked over to the bed, where she was already lying down, looking relaxed and content."All set?" Cordelia asked with a sleepy smile."All set," Benjamin replied, sliding into bed beside her. He pulled the covers up and turned off the bedside lamp, plunging the room into a soft, soothing darkness.Cordelia snuggled close to him, resting her head on his chest. "Thank you for today," she murmured, her voice heavy with sleep. "It was wonderful.""You're wel

    Benjamin looked at Lars and sat down on the sofa. "Push him forward closer to me so I can speak to him well," he said to Rakshasha.Rakshasha nodded and did as Benjamin ordered. Lars was now directly in front of Benjamin, still tied."Untie him," Benjamin commanded.Rakshasha nodded and untied Lars.Lars glared at Benjamin, rubbing his now free hands. "I've released you. You said we should untie you so we see what you'll do to us. Now, Mr. Johansen, show me what you can do.”Lars remained seated, momentarily stunned and uncertain."Why did you people kid—"Slap! Benjamin raised his hand and delivered a hard slap to Lars' cheek, stunning everyone present."I said show me what you'll do. I didn't ask you to question me."Lars, shocked and in pain, touched his stinging cheek. "Do you know who I am? How dare you slap me?"Benjamin chuckled and looked at Cipherella. "Tell him about himself.”Cipherella nodded. "You’re Lars Johansen. You own a showroom. You're 42 years old. You attended Ny

    The animators quickly set to work, their fingers flying over keyboards and graphic tablets. The room buzzed with a quiet intensity as they skillfully manipulated the digital tools to bring the image to life. Lars watched with a mixture of confusion and anxiety, his eyes darting between the animators and Benjamin.Within 10 minutes, the screen lit up with the projection. The truck image, now larger and clearer, loomed before them. Every detail, from the licence plate to the distinct scratches on the side, matched perfectly with the photograph.Lars' eyes widened in shock and recognition. The image on the screen was unmistakably the truck from his showroom years ago. He swallowed hard, the realization hitting him like a punch to the gut. He was clearly frightened, understanding that this was no ordinary confrontation.Benjamin leaned back in his chair, a small smile playing on his lips. "Do you recognize it now, Mr. Johansen?" he askedLars nodded, his face pale. "Yes, I recognize it. I

    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
