Back at the duplex, Jen watched the TV, her eyes glued to the screen as she watched the breaking news unfold. Her expression shifted from surprise to bewildered as the shocking revelation hit her like a ton of bricks. The man she had been living with all this time, was none other than the owner of Kim's Empire, the largest conglomerate in existence?!"What the fuck?!" she exclaimed, unable to contain her disbelief. Her mind was flooded with countless questions, and she struggled to make sense of it all. How could she have been so blind to see his true identity?As the news report continued, a lot of thoughts raced through Jen's mind. But why didn't they tell her though? Because it appeared that Elsa also probably knew about it, or didn't she?Wow, this was a mind blowing revelation. She had been so casually living and chatting, and even causing troubles for such a figure. Jen's thoughts drifted to the ease with which she had employed Kingsley Quince as her lawyer.It all seemed too
The morning sun rose over the crystal blue waters as Felix stirred from a long night sleep. His eyes flickered open as he tried to adjust his eyes to the sunlight seeping through the window.The sleep was spot on and relieved from all the stress of yesterday's events. Yesterday....Felix remembered all that happened. Right from his entering into the cruise ship, meeting his other family members, meeting D'Angelo and Meq in the toilet, the attempted kidnap, and his dramatic entrance. It was all so fast that it felt unreal. He looked up and a gold-leafed ceiling high above the enormous bed, adorned with curtains of fine silk stared back at him.Felix stretched leisurely against the soft and comfy beddings. He didn't have the time to study the architecture of the room last night, so it felt like he was seeing a different place.His gaze traveled across the white walls that were decorated with hints of mahogany and the gold chandelier hanging from the ceiling.Priceless works of art wer
Felix strode through the hallways of Kim's Empire headquarters, his well-polished shoes clicking against the floor. All around him, employees in crisp suits nodded respectfully as he passed.This was the central place where Kim's Empire was managed. And from today on, Felix was in charge.As he approached the elevator, he noticed his reflection in the metal door; his tie was perfectly straight, not a hair out of place. He looked every inch professional and charismatic. When the doors slid open, he entered alone. As the elevator rose steadily to the 300th floor, he prepared himself for the long day head.The elevator doors opened with a soft ding, revealing an anteroom outside the boardroom. Through the tall glass windows, he could see the senior executives already seated around the gleaming table. Felix squared his shoulders and strode through the double doors, the murmurs immediately ceasing as all eyes turned towards the new leader.This was the first time he was meeting with ever
"Yes, CEO Kim. It's going to generate a lot of income for the hotel. Do you have a problem with that?" Alexander asked, confused at why Felix brought it up. "It's nothing. Just wanted to check on our top investments. Glad that the business is booming," he said, wearing a smile to lighten the atmosphere. "I'm impressed by the exceptional work of each division under Hess Power CO. Now, to Limbed Corporation. Mrs. Rebecca Turner?"Standing up, Rebecca effortlessly displayed a well-prepared presentation on the screens with a simple tap. "Thank you for giving me this chance, CEO Kim," she smiled.Graphs and diagrams appeared, illustrating Limbed's achievements in different areas. "Limbed Automobiles has been very successful in providing great services to passengers. We've worked hard to make the travel experience better, from making check-in easy to giving personalized services on our automobiles," Rebecca explained.Felix was engrossed as he watched a video showcasing smooth vehicles cru
A knock on the door pulled Felix from his thoughts. Felix swiveled in his leather chair, the wheels squeaking against the hardwood floor. A woman peering in with curly dark hair framing her face stood at the doorway. Lines by her eyes showed that she was in her late thirties but that didn't dull her friendly smile. "May I come in?" she asked in a pleasant tone. Felix nodded and she walked inside, closing the door behind her. "My name is Charlotte. I've been your father's personal assistant for many years now." Charlotte smoothed her ivory suit jacket and extended her hand. "It seems I'll be helping you for a while as well."Felix had done a review on her, so he was well-informed. "Sure," he extended his hand and shook hers.She left and returned to her desk, leaving Felix in the room. He decided to start by reviewing the company's current financial statements, budgets, and targets. As expected, it was nothing less than perfect. Though, he knew he had to stay ahead of the game, just
Elsa stirred in her chair, slowly blinking her eyes open as she woke up from sleep in the dimly lit room. She could hear voices talking quietly and quickly. Elsa kept her eyes closed, not wanting to fully wake up yet. The hard wooden chair was uncomfortable against her skin where she was sitting on it.As Elsa became more awake, she realized the voices were close. It seemed they were just across the room. Her neck hurt from the way she arched her head while asleep.Elsa became curious and tried to listen to the conversation, straining to hear snippets of what they were discussing. Since they hadn't revealed that she was awake, she had the advantage of being able to listen without them knowing.The chair made a small sound as she shifted ever so slightly, trying to get more comfortable without giving away that she was awake. Carefully, Elsa tilted her head upward, bit by tiny bit. Her neck hurt from the movement, but she kept going. As her eyes adjusted to the low lighting, she could
The Porsche car came speeding towards Vito's car in a flash, closing the distance in just a few seconds. Vito leaned forward."Driver, what's the meaning of-" Vito started to say. But before he could finish, the Porsche appeared right behind his car, just inches from the back bumper.Vito's heart jumped into his throat. With a loud screeching of tires, the Porsche swerved right into Vito's lane, cornering him. The front of the Porsche filled Vito's entire windshield view.Vito's breath got stuck in his throat. Time seemed to slow down as Vito just reacted on instinct. He quickly wrenched the steering wheel from the shocked driver's hand slammed on the brakes as hard as he could.Vito's car screeched to a sudden stop, narrowly avoiding a disastrous collision. For a while, it was completely silent except for the pounding in Vito's ears. Through the windshield, Vito saw cold eyes staring at him from the other car. Whatever was about to happen, he had a feeling it wasn't going to be goo
After confronting him, Felix watched as Vito sped away from his sight. He knew Vito wouldn't dare try nonsense because he had more than enough ways to bring him down. All he needed was one call."We finally have an ally in Vasley Group," Jake let a smug smile appear by the side of his face as they walked back to the sleek Porsche parked under the hot sun as it glinted.Shadow sauntered around to the driver's side, fixing the top button of his shirt that Vito had messed with. He slid into the leather seat and turned the key in the ignition. He was appointed by Felix to be the driver.Felix swung open the back door and lowered himself into the seat, relaxing against the headrest. "Jericho better watch out," he replied with a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.Just then, Felix felt a vibration in his pocket. He pulled out his phone to see "Dad" flashing on the screen. With a tap, he brought the phone to his ear. "Yes, dad?" he said. "Son, where are you now?" Kimber's voice cut
