THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR SCAMMED AND CORNERED
Marvin’s piercing gaze remained fixed on Victor as he spoke into the phone, his tone was calm yet unnervingly smug.“Where are the drivers and the monetary profits gotten from the Voltforge Dynocell batteries there at the retail market?” Marvin asked, the question cut through the tension in the room like a blade.Luiz Tarejo’s voice came through clearly on the other end of the line. “They’re at my stronghold.”Victor’s ears perked up at the response. Stronghold. That sounds like that’s where Luiz and his cartel operated.Marvin’s eyes flickered with understanding as he leaned back in his chair. His smirk grew even wider. “You’ve done well, Mr. Tarejo,” he said, his voice was smooth and calculated. “Make sure everything is finalized as planned. I’ll be expecting the report and a possible spending spree by tomorrow.”Victor’s fists clenched at his sides, his nails started digging painfully into his palms. His blood boiled as the realization sank in. These bastards were talking about hi
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR BURN OR SURRENDER
Victor Vayne’s fingers tightened around the grip of the gun, his knuckles started turning white as he aimed it directly at Marvin’s head. His face was red with rage, his chest was rising and falling with rapid, furious breaths. His eyes burned with a wild intensity, and his entire body trembled with barely contained fury. He had never felt this level of anger before—not just anger, but the raw, unfiltered eagerness to pull the trigger and blow Marvin’s head off. Marvin’s smug expression faltered for a brief second. He hadn’t expected Victor to react this quickly. But as soon as that moment passed, he regained his composure, leaning back casually in his chair as if the gun pointed at him was nothing more than a minor inconvenience. “Wow,” Marvin said, tilting his head slightly. His voice was dripping with mockery. “What is that? A gun?” Victor’s grip on the weapon tightened, and his whole body started trembling with rage. “Give me back my money, or I swear I’ll blow your fucking
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR CHECKMATE: GAME OVER MR VAYNE
Victor Vayne stood frozen, his mind started racing for a solution—but nothing came. His brain, which had always been sharp in times of crisis, was blank. It was as if his entire world had collapsed in an instant. His grip on the gun remained firm, but for the first time, his fingers felt numb. His eyes, still locked on Marvin, burned with hatred, yet deep inside, fear was creeping in like a slow poison.Meanwhile, his assistants had lost all composure.One by one, they bolted for the door, shoving past each other in blind panic."Run! He’s planted a bomb!" one of them screamed."Get out of the building now!" another shouted as they disappeared down the hallway.The sound of their footsteps echoed like thunder as they stormed through Voltforge’s corridors, their terror started spreading like wildfire.Outside the office, chaos erupted. Staff on the evening shift, who had just been going about their usual business, were suddenly thrown into a state of confusion.“What’s happening?” so
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THE COUNCILS RECKONING 1
The black luxury sedan pulled up smoothly into the underground parking lot of the Neovalle Business Regulation Council building. The sound of the tires rolling over the concrete echoed softly in the vast, dimly lit space.Inside the car, Marvin Richmond sat with one leg crossed over the other, his face was calm and unreadable. His private butler who was dressed in a neatly pressed suit, stepped out first and opened the back door.“We have arrived, sir,” the butler said with a slight bow.Marvin didn’t respond immediately. He adjusted his cuffs, straightened his jacket, then stepped out of the vehicle. The cool air of the parking lot greeted him, but he paid it no mind.Waiting nearby was a council escort—an official dressed in a sharp grey suit with a security badge clipped to his chest. He gave Marvin a brief nod before gesturing towards the elevator.“This way, sir.”Without a word, Marvin followed.The elevator doors slid open, and the three men stepped inside. As the elevator a

Mr. Hirsch took a slow, measured breath, his fingers were tapping lightly against his desk. Then, he leaned forward, with his voice dropping into a warning tone.“Mr. Marvin, I hope you have not forgotten where you are standing right now? This is—”“Fuck the place I’m standing, Mr. Hirsch,” Marvin cut in, his tone was as sharp as a blade. His cold, piercing gaze never wavered. “You know…” He paused, letting the silence stretch before continuing, “You know, if this association isn’t as autonomous as it claims to be, only God knows how many businessmen have fallen victim to the top players—men who think they’re untouchable.”Mr. Hirsch’s jaw tightened, his polite mask began to crack. He exhaled sharply through his nose, shaking his head.“Marvin,” he said, with a firm voice, “if you’re here to rant, I suggest you stop. This is my office, and I won’t tolerate any reckless tone. If you keep this up, I’ll have security throw you out.”Marvin smirked, his fingers started tightening on th
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THE WHITE FERN GLOW
Mr. Hirsch clenched his jaw, trying to regain his composure, but his mind was already spiraling.How did Marvin know?He was certain he had kept that vault’s secret well-guarded. Only a handful of people even knew it existed. Yet here Marvin was, standing before him, as if he had been watching every move Mr. Hirsch made.His hand slowly moved to the edge of his desk, gripping it tightly as if anchoring himself in reality.His fingers turned white with pressure. The color drained from his face, and his eyes darted between Marvin and the empty air, trying to make sense of the situation.Marvin’s smirk only grew wider. The silence between them thickened. It wasn’t just the vault that was in danger—it was everything Mr. Hirsch had worked for.For the first time in a long while, Mr. Hirsch felt truly vulnerable.His breathing was shallow, and his heartbeat was pounding in his chest. How could this happen? How could anyone—let alone Marvin—have discovered something this classified?Finall
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR SIXTY MILLION REASONS TO OBEY
Marvin’s smirk deepened. He took a step closer, his voice calm and steady.“I have the phone number of the Neovalle Commissioner of Police,” he said, watching Mr. Hirsch’s reaction closely. “And trust me, once I make the call, within a few minutes, a thorough investigation could begin in your wife’s mega store.”He let his words hang in the air, letting the weight of them sink in.Mr. Hirsch’s breath hitched. A deep shiver ran down his spine.Marvin continued, his tone almost casual. “You know what that means, don’t you?” He tilted his head slightly. “That’s life in prison. Your wife’s store will be seized, and you might be paying a fine worth sixty million dollars.”The room fell into silence.Mr. Hirsch’s fingers trembled against the chair’s armrest. His body tensed, his heart was pounding violently against his ribs. Sixty million? Life in prison? His mind screamed.He opened his mouth, but no words came out. A sharp breath escaped him, shaky and uneven.Then, his hands clenched
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR YOU WON'T BE HERE...
Marvin’s smirk didn’t waver. He studied Mr. Hirsch for a moment, enjoying the way the man looked utterly defeated. Then, he finally gave a slow nod.“We’re good,” Marvin said, his voice was smooth and confident. But then, his expression darkened slightly, his eyes narrowed. “But let’s be clear on one thing, Mr. Hirsch. This nonsense ends here. You will never— and I mean never— try to sabotage me or my business again.”He took a deliberate step forward, his gaze was locked onto Mr. Hirsch’s trembling eyes.“I don’t care who asks you to do it—whether it’s Victor Vayne, the Business Council, or anyone else no matter how powerful they may be. If I ever find out that you’re working against me again, trust me… I won’t just make phone calls next time.” His voice dropped lower, carrying a dangerous edge. “I will not be as gentle as I was today.”A violent shudder ran through Mr. Hirsch’s body. He nodded quickly, repeatedly, as if his life depended on it.“Yes, yes, I understand,” Mr Hirsch

OLD FACES NEW FEELINGS
Marvin’s breath hitched as he locked eyes with Stella Orion.For a moment, neither of them spoke.Then, like a sudden burst of warmth, Stella’s face lit up with pure excitement. Without hesitation, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him.Marvin stiffened slightly, caught off guard by the sudden embrace, but the warmth of her body against his own made him relax.“It’s really you,” she whispered, with a voice that was filled with relief. “After all this time.”Marvin let out a small chuckle, patting her back before pulling away. “Yeah… it’s me.”Stella’s silver-blonde tainted hair shimmered under the bright lights of the grand hall as she stepped back to take a good look at him. Her eyes, which were filled with admiration, traced every inch of his face as if making sure he was real.“How have you been?” she asked, her voice was softer now.Marvin smirked. “Well, I look good, so that means I’m fine.”Stella’s lips curled into a smile, and before they knew it, they both burs
A VOICE IN HIS HEAD
Three Days Later it was a grand Ceremony at Neovalle’s Ministry of Science and TechnologyThe grand hall of the Neovalle Ministry of Science and Technology was packed with dignitaries, scientists, and high-ranking officials. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement, as this was no ordinary event. It was a historic moment—the official ceremony to usher in Lady Evelyn Hartford as the new Director of Neovalle’s Advanced Energy and Technology Commission.The hall itself was massive, adorned with bright chandeliers and banners that bore the symbol of the federation’s technological future. Rows of neatly arranged seats filled the space, occupied by influential figures who had come to witness the new era of leadership.At the front, near the grand stage, the Prime Minister sat with an unreadable expression. By his side was Marvin’s uncle, Christopher Richmond who was a very influencial person within the state. Further down the row, Marvin himself sat in silence, his mind was racing with th
A GAMBLE FOR THE FUTURE
Marvin’s cheek still stung, but he didn’t react further. His eyes stayed on the Prime Minister, searching for answers.The older man exhaled sharply, rubbing his forehead as if exhausted. Then, he spoke in a low, controlled voice.“You know what? Forget that,” he muttered. His expression darkened as he leaned forward, with his eyes locking onto Marvin’s.“But that woman… she’s my wife—the woman you’re supposed to kill.”Marvin’s breath caught.He blinked, processing the words. His mind raced.In a hushed voice, he asked, “If that’s the case, then why did you give her the position of Director at Neovalle’s Advanced Energy and Technology Commission?”He frowned slightly. “I mean… you plan to get rid of her. So why give her power instead?”For a moment, the Prime Minister said nothing. Then, he let out a slow, disappointed sigh. He leaned back in his chair, his sharp gaze never left Marvin.“How can you be this dumb?” he finally said, shaking his head.Marvin’s brow furrowed. His confusi
TELEPATHIC FURY
Marvin felt his chest tighten, but he didn’t let it show. He had been caught off guard, but he refused to lose his composure. His polite smile returned, though it didn’t quite reach his eyes.Lady Evelyn’s response had been colder than he expected. No, not just cold—dismissive. She had shut him down like he was nothing.The room fell into a heavy silence.Marvin’s eyes widened slightly as he processed her words. He was not expecting such rudeness from the First Lady of the Federation. She had made it clear—whether he liked it or not, her agenda as the new Director of the Advanced Energy & Technology Commission was none of his business.He leaned back slightly, forcing himself to remain relaxed. But inside, his mind was racing.Why did she react that way?Was she trying to prove something? Or was there something deeper behind her hostility?The Prime Minister, sensing the tension, let out a small sigh. He turned toward his wife, his expression was calm but firm.“Evelyn,” he said ge
THE LADY OF AETC
The Prime Minister’s expression remained calm as he finally spoke.“The reason I’m here, Marvin, is twofold,” he said smoothly. “First, I wanted to formally introduce my wife to you.”Marvin’s eyes flickered toward Lady Evelyn, who remained poised, her expression was unreadable.“And second,” the Prime Minister continued, “I wanted to inform you that she has been appointed as the new Director of Neovalle’s Advanced Energy & Technology Commission.”Marvin’s brows lifted in surprise.The AETC was one of the most powerful scientific and technological organizations in the federation which had its headquarters in Neovalle because it was the most technologically advanced state in the federation. It controlled massive funding and it oversaw critical energy innovations. Whoever led it had significant influence over the nation’s technological future.For a moment, Marvin could only blink, absorbing the weight of the announcement.Then, a slow smile spread across his face. He straightened in
MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
Marvin stood up immediately as the Prime Minister and his wife entered his office. He straightened his posture, forcing a polite smile as he walked over to greet them."Prime Minister," he said, extending a hand."Marvin," the Prime Minister replied, shaking his hand firmly.Marvin then turned to the elegantly dressed woman beside him. She had a calm but sharp look in her eyes, the kind that suggested she was used to being in control.The Prime Minister placed a hand on her back gently. "Marvin, I’d like you to meet my wife, Lady Evelyn Hartford.""A pleasure to meet you, ma’am," Marvin said with a respectful nod.Lady Evelyn gave him a small smile. "The pleasure is mine, Mr. Marvin. I’ve heard quite a lot about you."Marvin gestured toward the seats in front of his desk. "Please, have a seat."He waited as they settled into their chairs before he sat down himself. His mind was already racing. Why were they here? What did they want?The Prime Minister leaned back slightly, crossing o
NOOSE OF CONTROL
Three Days Later Marvin sat in the back of his car, staring out at the city skyline as it blurred past. The weight pressing on his chest hadn’t lifted since his meeting with the Prime Minister. If anything, it had only grown heavier.Three days had passed since that conversation—three days of restless nights, of running every scenario through his mind, of trying to find a way out of the trap he had walked into.And yet, there was none.The news had spread like wildfire—Darius Crowe, had confessed. He had admitted to being responsible for the Lunebrook drone disaster. The confession had led to a shocking reversal: the federal government had officially rescinded its plans to shut down Marvin's Helios enterprise.On the surface, it should have been a victory.But it wasn’t.Because despite Crowe’s confession, the policies and financial embargoes remained untouched.The commercial restrictions, the suffocating tariffs, the permits being withheld—none of it had changed. It was as if the
STRINGS ATTACHED
The Prime Minister tapped his cigar against the ashtray, his gaze never left Marvin’s. A slow smirk tugged at the corners of his lips as he leaned forward, his voice turning almost conversational.“But… I’m not an unreasonable man.” the prime minister said.Marvin’s shoulders tensed.The Prime Minister took a long drag from his cigar, exhaled a thin stream of smoke, and then gestured subtly with his fingers.“I understand the strain on your company. The commercial embargo. The legislative restrictions. The walls closing in.” His voice lowered slightly. “That’s why I intend to help… in ways that aren’t exactly ‘conventional.’”Marvin’s breath hitched. He didn’t like the sound of that.The Prime Minister leaned back, swirling the liquid in his glass. “First, let’s talk about the permits required for solar firms.” He set the glass down and clasped his hands. “Getting those permits through official channels is a bureaucratic nightmare. Too much red tape, too many enemies in the legislatu
CHAINS OF OBLIGATION
Marvin sat still, his mind was spinning. The Prime Minister’s words weighed heavily on him, and for the first time in a long while, he felt trapped.His fingers curled into his palms, his nails began pressing against his skin as he stared at the floor.Kill her?Was this really the only way?He closed his eyes, letting his thoughts run wild.Isn’t there another solution?Can’t we capture her? Lock her away?Maybe there’s something we don’t know yet. Maybe—No.The Prime Minister had already said it—she wouldn’t stop. Even if they locked her away, her people would continue what she started. If they spared her, she would find a way to escape. And if she succeeded, the entire Federation would collapse into chaos.Marvin inhaled sharply.The Over-beings would be wiped out. The economy would crumble. Families would be broken. War would tear through the land.Could he really allow that to happen?And who was making this request?It wasn’t just some random politician.It was the Prime Mini
