Maverick shifted in his seat but met his father’s angry stare. "It wasn’t enough, okay? Things are expensive! You have no idea what it’s like to keep up appearances. There was this event, and then the after-parties—”

“Lavishing money on parties and events!” Rudra cut him off, his voice now booming. "You’re wasting the money I give you, and now you want more? Have you lost your mind?"

Maverick's face flushed with anger as he shot back. "The money is small! Do you even know how much my friends spend in a night? They’re living it up, and I’m here counting every penny you give me like some... some common kid! I need more! There’s this huge show coming up, and I can’t miss it. Everyone will be there!”

Rudra stood up, his patience clearly gone. "You want more money?" he yelled. "Then come work for it! I’m not a bottomless bank. You want to live like a king? Fine, then start helping me run this hotel. You need to understand how hard it is to make that money you throw away!”

    Matthew drove with steady focus, completely absorbed in trailing Maverick's car. He didn’t notice anything unusual as they wound through the streets, his eyes fixed on the target ahead. Eventually, Maverick turned into the driveway of a luxurious villa and parked. Matthew and Austin slowed down, stopping a bit farther up the road, keeping their car hidden from view.Maverick stepped out of his car, looking irritated, and walked toward the front door of his villa. The brothers watched as he entered the house, the door closing behind him.Inside their car, Matthew glanced at Austin. "Do you think he'll come out anytime soon?"Austin shrugged, leaning back in his seat. "I can't tell... but hold on." Without waiting for a response, he opened the car door and stepped out, heading towards Maverick’s villa.Matthew watched him go, frowning but staying put as Austin approached the door. Austin knocked firmly. After a brief wait, the door creaked open, revealing Maverick, who eyed Austin with

    Cipherella sat at her laptop, her fingers moving swiftly over the keys as she worked her technical magic. First, she accessed the hotel's WiFi system, rerouting and masking their connection to prevent any possible tracking. She installed several layers of security encryption, making sure no one could trace their online activity back to them. Every five seconds, she set up an automatic IP change, bouncing their location to different countries around the globe. One moment, it would show them as operating from Japan, the next from Brazil, then Germany, and so on.After a while, Cipherella glanced up at Benjamin with a satisfied smile. “Master, I’ve changed the WiFi system so no one can trace us. Our connection is now completely secure. I’ve also set up an IP relay that changes our location every five seconds. We’ll look like we’re operating from dozens of countries in just a few minutes.”Benjamin, who had been inspecting the gun in his hand, looked over at her, clearly impressed. “You’v

    Soon, Maverick’s eyes began to flicker open, a dull, throbbing pain spreading across his head. He groaned, trying to reach up and rub his temple, but his hand wouldn’t move. He blinked several times, shaking his head to clear the blur from his vision. His heart pounded in his chest as the room came into focus.He was in an empty, vast space—no furniture, no windows, just walls that loomed around him. His arms were tied behind his back, his wrists tightly bound, and his legs were tied together, preventing any movement.“What the hell?” Maverick muttered as he tried shaking himself free, only to realize the bonds held him firmly in place. Panic surged through him.As he raised his head, his eyes widened in disbelief. Two figures stood in front of him, arms crossed, staring intently at him. Maverick blinked again, trying to make sense of what he was seeing.“Matthew? Austin?” he rasped, his voice dry and weak. The sight of Austin made his blood run cold; he had spoken with him not long a

    Austin’s eyes narrowed as he leaned in closer, his voice growing more intense. “I’ll ask you again, Maverick. Where is Benjamin?” Maverick’s anger flared as he thrashed in his bindings, his patience snapping. His voice was rough and filled with frustration. “Why the hell are you asking me? Am I Benjamin’s keeper?!” He sneered, the tension in his face making it clear he was trying to put on a brave front. “I don’t know where he is, and I don’t care! Do I look like I keep tabs on that guy?” Matthew clenched his fists, his muscles tensing as he exchanged a look with Austin. Maverick's defiance only seemed to fuel the fire in the room. Austin, still calm but visibly annoyed, stood up slowly and towered over Maverick. “You seem to know enough to throw insults,” Austin said, his voice quieter now but with a threatening edge. "So how about you stop pretending, and start talking?" Maverick glared up at them, his bravado not faltering. He sneered, his lips curling as he tried to push back a

    Without warning, Matthew struck him again, the hook digging into Maverick's shoulder. "Tell me, where is our brother?"Maverick screamed once more, writhing in his restraints. His face twisted in agony, but Matthew’s eyes were cold, waiting for the truth.At that moment, Maverick was utterly terrified. His fear was overwhelming, coursing through his veins like ice. He hadn't expected Brianna to tell them what he had said, and the truth he was hiding—that he had gotten Benjamin killed—was something he could never admit. If they found out, it would be his end.Instantly, Maverick's mind scrambled for a lie, anything that could save him. "Wait!" he gasped, his voice trembling with desperation. "I— I only said that because I wanted Brianna! She— she seemed to like Benjamin, and I was jealous. I said it to piss her off! I didn’t mean it!”His eyes darted between Austin and Matthew, hoping they'd buy his story. "I swear, that's all it was!"Matthew started hitting Maverick again, each swing

    Maverick whimpered, struggling against the ropes. His body trembled, covered in bruises from the relentless blows. Each strike felt like fire on his skin, and he was reaching his limit. He gasped for air, his mind racing for anything that could save him from the torture. "I... I swear, I just wanted to get Brianna angry! That’s why I said Benjamin was dead! I don’t know anything else!"Matthew growled in frustration but didn't stop. He struck Maverick again, this time across his back, making his body convulse in pain. "I’m not stopping until you tell me where Benjamin is!" he shouted, his voice echoing in the empty room.Maverick’s body trembled uncontrollably, his breath coming in short, ragged gasps. His face was streaked with tears and sweat, and blood trickled from several deep cuts along his arms and legs where the hook had torn into his flesh. The once-pristine shirt he wore was now soaked in a mix of sweat and crimson, sticking to his skin. His lips quivered as he sobbed, the p

    Opening the door, Cordelia was surprised to see the butler standing there, his posture as poised as ever."Butler?" she asked, her brow furrowing in curiosity. "Come inside."The butler shook his head gently, his eyes twinkling as he took in her appearance. "You're looking so beautiful tonight. Where did you get this outfit?" he asked, his voice warm.Cordelia smiled, glancing down at her black jalabiya dress. "I got it from a store that sells African clothing. Picked up three of them. Is it nice?”"It’s very nice," the butler replied, nodding in approval. "Makes you look even more beautiful, my dear."Cordelia nodded in gratitude. "Thank you, my grandpa. But why have you come here?" she asked, curiosity creeping back into her voice."I was wondering if you'd accompany me for a stroll around the estate," the butler said, his tone gentle. "Are you busy?"Cordelia shook her head. "No, not at all. I’d be glad to take a walk with you.”"Hold on," she said quickly, moving back into the roo

    That night, Benjamin glanced at Cipherella, who was seated at the computer, her eyes half-lidded with exhaustion. "It's late," he said gently. "You should go to sleep.” Cipherella nodded, already feeling the weight of sleep tugging at her. She stood up, stretched her arms, and began to head toward the sofa to rest. But Benjamin shook his head, a small smile on his lips. "Go sleep in the bedroom. I'll take the sofa.” Cipherella paused and turned to him, shaking her head in protest. "No, Master Benjamin, you're the boss. You deserve the bed. I'll be fine on the sofa." Benjamin stood up, his voice firmer this time but still kind. "Go to sleep in the room, Cipherella. I’ll manage here." His eyes were serious, and despite her reluctance, Cipherella knew there was no use arguing with him. She sighed, her eyes softening. "Alright, master," she said, surrendering to his command. With a tired smile, she gathered herself and made her way to the bedroom, obeying Benjamin’s request. Benj

    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
