THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR A LOST CHANCE
Three days later, Marvin drove a small, beat-up scooter through the busy streets of Neovalle. The city buzzed with life, and its towering skyscrapers gleamed under the bright sun. His scooter weaved through traffic like a shadow, almost invisible among the larger vehicles. On his back was a box marked “Delivery,” and on his chest which had the logo and colours of the Zypher conglomerate, he wore a plastic tag that read, “Delivery Personnel.”Marvin wore simple clothing—a plain white shirt and dark pants—but he had chosen a cologne that left a trail of rich, sophisticated scent as he passed. For good measure, he had added a fake mustache, thick and neatly combed, disguising his face. It was hard to connect the calm, commanding man from three nights ago with this quiet delivery driver.The scooter slowed as Marvin approached the heart of Neovalle’s business district. His eyes widened slightly as he looked up at the towering structure ahead of him: the headquarters of the Zyphers. T
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THE DEFIANT ENCOUNTER
Marvin followed the intern’s directions as he walked down the long hallway that stretched ahead of him, it was a hallway that felt like a path to power.The walls around him were covered with pictures of the Zyphers' products. These were items that represented the future: luxury electronics, medicine, energy solutions, and high-tech gadgets for everyday life.Each image shouted success, which a reminder of just how much the Zyphers’ influence had spread across Neovalle.When Marvin turned the corner, the logistics wing came into sight. It looked like a busy marketplace, with workers in uniforms moving heavy crates and packages onto automated conveyor belts.The machines made humming noises as they quickly sorted and scanned everything. Forklifts zoomed across the floor, carrying pallets of goods, while supervisors shouted orders into their earpieces. The speed and efficiency were overwhelming, yet Marvin walked confidently into it.He took a moment to observe the scene, his eyes were
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THE TABLES TURN
The chubby boss sneered at Marvin, his voice was dripping with venom. "You know what? You're fired! Get the hell out before I rain down on you!"Marvin, unfazed, smirked. "Well, how I wish your fat ass was as quick as your mouth. Come make me get out."Gasps erupted among the workers, their disbelief echoing through the logistics wing. The boss, his face contorted with rage, tore his belt from his waist and lunged at Marvin, raising it high. But before the belt could strike, Marvin grabbed the boss’s wrist with a firm grip. With a swift motion, Marvin delivered a solid headbutt, causing the boss to stumble back, clutching his forehead in pain.The workers froze, their shock was mirrored in wide-eyed stares. Marvin moved to press the advantage, but before he could, a group of security staff intervened, grabbing him by the arms. "Come on, man, it’s okay. Time to go," one of them said, trying to defuse the tension.Marvin didn’t resist. Instead, he relaxed, his calm demeanor was unsha
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR FROM DELIVERY GUY TO CEO
The chubby boss stared at Marvin, and his mouth was opening and closing like a fish out of water. Finally, he managed to stammer, "You? Are you the…"Marvin leaned back in the CEO’s chair, with a triumphant smile spreading across his face. "Yeah, sure I am. You got any problem with that?"The boss’s head shook slightly as if trying to wake himself from a bad dream. "But… but you were the delivery guy I saw at the docks some minutes ago!""And I’m still that delivery guy," Marvin said, smirking. "The only difference is, I’ve upgraded. And, as God would have it, I’ve been your boss for…" He glanced at his watch. "For the past twelve hours."The chubby boss’s face turned pale, beads of sweat gathered on his forehead. "This… this is not possible," he blurted out, with a shaky voice. "You cannot be the boss! This company is owned by the Zypher family! They wouldn’t just hand it over to someone… like you. The company’s doing better than ever! They wouldn’t make such a stupid decision!"With
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR EXILED FROM POWER
The chubby boss was still kneeling on the floor, and his hands were clasped tightly together. His wide, desperate eyes looked up at Marvin. "Please, sir Marvin," he begged, his voice shaking with fear. "I promise to do anything, anything at all to keep my job!"Marvin leaned back in his chair, his smile widened as he watched the man squirm. "You want to keep your job, huh?" he asked with a voice that was calm and steady."Yes, yes, sir," the boss stammered. "I need this job. I have a wife... kids..." His voice trailed off, and he lowered his head, ashamed.Marvin interrupted him, rolling his eyes. "Spare me the sob story. If you were such a good family man, you wouldn’t have been rude to me at the docks," he said coldly.The boss’s face turned red with embarrassment. He had made a terrible mistake by underestimating Marvin, and now he was paying for it. "I’m sorry, sir. I was wrong. Please, give me a chance. I promise to be a changed man," he said, bowing deeply, showing how sorry h
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THE ZYPHER'S SHADOW
The door to Marvin’s office creaked open, with the sound slicing through the quiet hum of the room. A shadow appeared in the doorway, and Marvin glanced up from his desk, his sharp eyes were narrowed. The man who entered moved slowly, his steps were uneven and his shoulders hunched.The man looked old—perhaps in his late sixties. His clothes were wrinkled, and his shirt was slightly stained, as though he had rushed out without caring to iron it. His gray hair was unkempt, sticking out in odd directions. He limped as he approached the desk, with one hand he gripped the back of a chair for support.Marvin straightened in his chair, his gaze was cool and assessing. “Can I help you?” he asked, his voice was calm but guarded.The man paused, breathing heavily, and then nodded. “Yes. I... I hope you can,” he said, his voice hoarse and weak. “My name is Edward Hargrove. I used to work here. I used to be the head of the human resources department.”Marvin’s brow lifted in surprise. He leane
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR A PLAN TO REGAIN POWER
Jessica Zypher sat in her luxurious living room, her manicured fingers trembled slightly as she held her phone to her ear. Her jaw was tight, and her usually composed demeanor was cracking under the weight of the voice on the other end of the call.“Jessica,” the chubby boss’s voice broke through the line, it was hoarse and filled with rage. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done to me? That new CEO you handed power to—Marvin—he has ruined me!”Jessica sighed, leaning back in her chair. She closed her eyes, as though the call was a weight she couldn’t bear. “Calm down,” she said, her voice was measured but tired. “What happened?”“What happened?!” The boss’s voice rose, nearly a shout. “He made me roll on the floor like a circus animal in his office! Do you know what that felt like? To be humiliated like that?! Me, a boss—reduced to rolling on the floor like a fool. He streamed the whole thing online! The entire company probably saw it!” His words came out fast, almost tripping over
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THE RETURN OF JESSICA
Marvin sat at his large, imposing desk in the CEO office of Zypher Group, the morning sunlight filtered through the massive windows behind him. The room was pristine, decorated with sleek furniture and a dominating sense of power. On the polished desk in front of him rested his smartphone.His eyes narrowed as he stared at the phone, unmoving. Slowly, Marvin placed his hands palm-down on either side of the device. He took a deep breath, trying to center himself.“I can do this,” he muttered under his breath.He wanted performing telekinesis on his smart phone.Marvin closed his eyes and focused intensely, imagining the phone lifting into the air. He tried to feel the energy within him—the synapticore energy—flowing through his mind and body. He had done it before, hadn’t he? This wasn’t supposed to be impossible.The muscles in his face tightened as he pushed all his focus toward the phone. His breathing slowed, becoming deliberate, as though even that might disturb his concentratio

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS
It was Valentine’s Day.Inside his VVIP lounge at the Aurora Grand Hotel, Marvin stood in front of his large bedroom TV. He was fully dressed in a custom-made navy blue suit, adjusting his silver cufflinks. His reflection on the screen showed a man who had everything — success, power, and charm.On the TV, a documentary about his company, Helios Enterprise, played softly. Marvin glanced at it with mild interest. The documentary showed all the major exploits and innovations of Helios Enterprise, including the famous SOLNOVA Projects — inventions that had the possibility of changing solar technology across the world.The voice of the narrator filled the room:"Helios Enterprise, under the visionary leadership of Marvin Richmond, would be launching the SOLNOVA projects in four days time, with the hope of bringing endless energy to millions..."Just then, Marvin’s phone buzzed. He smiled faintly and called Helena.She picked up almost immediately."Hey, are you ready?" Marvin asked, his
FROZEN AT THE THRESHOLD
She had heard it all. Every word, every promise, every confession. Her heart sank with each syllable that left Marvin’s lips. His voice was so filled with conviction, so different from the way he had spoken to her. To Helena, it was a cruel revelation. The man she loved—truly loved—had just opened his heart to another woman in a way she had never imagined.Helena stood frozen just outside the door, her breath caught in her chest. She wanted to retreat, to leave the space, but she couldn’t. She was paralyzed, as if the air had thickened around her, suffocating her ability to move. The reality of Marvin’s feelings for Stella settled over her like a dark cloud, suffusing her thoughts with bitterness and sorrow. She couldn’t comprehend how it had all gone so wrong upon the firm confirmation that Marvin had another lover.From inside the office, Marvin’s voice continued to flow, filled with life and excitement as he spoke to Stella, unaware that Helena was standing mere feet away, hea
A FUTURE TOGETHER?
Marvin leaned back in his chair, the conversation with Helena was still echoing in his mind. It had been a close call earlier, but things had finally lightened. She had kissed him lightly on the cheek before heading for the door, leaving behind the faint trace of her perfume, the scent lingered in the air like an invisible mark of her presence.The door clicked softly behind her, and for a brief moment, Marvin let the silence settle. He closed his eyes, exhaling deeply, with a sense of relief washing over him. His shoulders, tense from the pressure of the conversation, began to relax as the moment of calm spread through him. But just as he thought he might get the chance to fully unwind, his phone buzzed again.He glanced at the screen, the name was flashing brightly: Stella Orion.A smile tugged at the corners of his lips. Stella. She had this way of making everything feel easier, lighter. His mood shifted, almost eagerly, as he swiped to answer the call. No more pretending,
A FRAGILE MOMENT
She leaned forward, her eyes locking onto his. The tension between them was palpable, thick enough that Marvin could almost feel it pressing on his chest."Why are you not picking up your call?" she demanded, her voice was now laced with suspicion.Her tone had shifted. It was forceful now, more aggressive, more violent than it had been a moment ago. "Who is it, Marvin?"The question hung in the air like a heavy weight. Marvin’s heart raced as the blood drained from his face. He could feel the words slipping through his mind, desperate to make an escape, but he couldn’t bring himself to speak the truth. He had promised himself that he would be honest, that he would stop lying... but now, under the intensity of her gaze, he wasn’t sure what would happen if he did.For a moment, he simply stared at her. The silence stretched out, dragging on longer than it should have. The weight of their unspoken words pressed down on him, suffocating him in a way that felt almost unbearable.What
HOME, BUT NOT THE SAME
Marvin opened the door gently.The soft click of the handle turning echoed slightly in the quiet room.Inside, Helena sat on the couch near the office desk, her eyes were fixed on her phone. Her fingers glided lightly across the screen, seemingly absorbed in whatever she was reading. The atmosphere in the room felt different — quieter, colder.As the door swung open, Helena raised her eyes slowly.Their gazes met.Marvin’s heart skipped a beat. A wave of relief and joy washed over him at the sight of her, but something else lingered in the air — something he couldn’t quite place.Without thinking, he walked toward her with open arms, he felt the instinct to pull her close. He had missed her — more than he cared to admit.But today was different.Helena didn’t rush toward him, as she used to. There was no excited smile, no sparkle in her eyes. She simply stood up, her movements were slow and deliberate, almost mechanical. Her expression remained unreadable.He faltered for a moment,
HOME, BUT NOT THE SAME 1
A Week Later…The city of Neovalle was bathed in the soft, golden light of morning.After a week away, Marvin Richmond finally returned to Neovalle.He sat comfortably in the backseat of a sleek black luxury vehicle, the engine was humming quietly as it moved smoothly through the streets.The windows were slightly tinted, shielding him from the outside world, but Marvin could still see the tall buildings, busy streets, and colorful banners fluttering in the breeze.Neovalle was alive as ever—but for Marvin, something felt different.He leaned back into the plush leather seat, resting his head for a moment against the headrest, deep in thought.The driver, dressed neatly in a black suit, maneuvered the car expertly through the final turns, heading straight toward the tall, modern building of Helios Enterprise.Marvin’s sharp grey eyes caught sight of the familiar shining letters on the front of the company compound as they approached.HELIOS ENTERPRISE.Home.The vehicle slowed down as
UNDERNEATH THE PERFECT SKY
Inside the grand office of Helios Enterprise, sunlight streamed through the tall glass windows, bouncing off the polished floors and elegant white walls.The office smelled of fresh leather and paper—it was a scent of power and business.At the large, black marble desk sat Helena.Today she looked cooperate, business like, beautiful and sharp, dressed in a smart navy-blue suit that hugged her curvaceous body perfectly. Her long dark hair was neatly tied into a loose ponytail. A gold watch glinted on her wrist as she held her phone to her ear, finishing up a call with an important investor.Her voice was calm, sweet, but full of authority.“Yes, Mr. Langston. The shipment will be ready by noon tomorrow. You’ll have the first batch by next week, as promised. Trust me—Helios always delivers,” Helena said, her lips curling into a confident smile.She ended the call and placed the phone gently on the desk.Then, without missing a beat, she lifted her eyes to the four men standing quietly
WHEN LOVE DEMANDS MORE
Inside a quiet chamber in the Orion estate, the air was warm and sweet with the scent of jasmine. Moonlight poured through the glass ceiling, casting soft silver light on the bed where Marvin Richmond and Stella Orion lay—entwined in each other’s arms, naked, warm, and close.Their lips met again.A deep, slow, passionate kiss.Her fingers slid through his thick hair, pulling him in gently, while his hands caressed the soft curve of her waist. Their bodies pressed together—skin against skin—hearts pounding, breath shallow.She moaned softly, holding him closer.Their kiss wasn’t rushed. It was tender. Burning. A silent cry of relief, passion, and love.“I missed you,” Stella whispered, her voice was husky against his lips.“I missed you more,” Marvin breathed, brushing her cheek with his knuckles.Stella giggled slightly, then kissed his jaw, moving to his ear.She held his face in her hands and whispered, playfully but with a hint of mischief,“You know, I should cut off your ears
THE ELDERS VERDICT
Tariq Khyber could not move.His body was frozen, stiff like carved wood. His chest rose and fell with short, ragged breaths, but everything else was still. His mouth twitched, trying to form words—but no sound escaped.The Elder with the glowing Synapticore moved away from his obsidian chair.The silver-blue light on his forehead pulsed brighter, hotter. Like lightning trapped in glass.He took one step forward on the floating platform.And then—“How dare you interrupt an Elder, Mr. Khyber?”The Elder’s voice struck again.Tariq gasped, and suddenly a sharp pain stabbed into his head.He clutched at his skull—yet still could not move his limbs.A terrible pressure was building inside his brain.It was like invisible hands were tightening around it… squeezing slowly.His face twisted.Blood began to drip from Tariq's nose.“How dare you interrupt an Elder, Mr. Khyber?” the Elder asked again.This time the squeezing became sharper, more violent. Tariq’s eyes rolled back for a moment.
