THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR CRACKS IN CONTROL
Two hours had passed.Marvin sat on the metal stool, his back was slightly hunched. His mind felt like it had been stretched and pulled in all directions, yet he still wasn’t sure if he had truly connected with the rabbit. He had tried—really tried—but all he got were flashes of movement, strange impressions, and faint emotions that vanished as quickly as they came.The Prime Minister watched him for a moment before finally speaking.“You did your best,” he said, his voice was even. “It wasn’t perfect, but that’s expected. You will return here tomorrow.”Marvin exhaled, rubbing his temples. He was exhausted, but he nodded anyway. “Alright.”He stood up, adjusting his woollen jacket. As he turned towards the door, he cast a quick glance at his uncle, Christopher Richmond, who had been silently observing from the corner of the lab. With a subtle dip of his head, Marvin muttered, “Thank you, Uncle.”Before he could take another step, the Prime Minister’s voice stopped him.“There’s som
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THE SUSPENDED SECRET
Marvin blinked rapidly, forcing himself to snap out of whatever daze had taken hold of him. He cleared his throat, with his mind scrambling to recover, but instead, it went completely blank.He hesitated before speaking, rubbing the back of his neck. “Um… sorry, what question?”The words came out slower than he intended, and as soon as he said them, a wave of shame washed over him. He had just made a fool of himself.Helena’s brows lifted slightly. “Why are you acting weird?” she asked, tilting her head again. “I was asking how your mind training was.”Marvin exhaled, regaining some composure. “Oh, about that,” he said, quickly searching for the right words. “It was… good. I was glad to try something new. But that rabbit’s mind…” He paused, shaking his head. “It was unstable. Like a quantum particle in a superposition state—constantly shifting, unpredictable, and impossible to pin down.”Helena’s lips curved into a small smile. “That makes sense,” she said. “A rabbit’s thoughts flick
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR A HEART BEYOND LOGIC
Helena felt a deep, almost suffocating urge to open up to Marvin, to reveal everything that had been gnawing at her for so long.She wanted to tell him why she created the bioengineered humanoid, why she had taken such a dangerous and controversial step. The weight of her secret pressed down on her chest, and she could feel the truth bubbling up inside her, begging to be let out.But as soon as the thought crossed her mind, she quickly pushed it away. She could feel her heart race, her hands tremble slightly. She couldn’t. Not now. Not yet. She wasn’t ready.The urge to speak only grew stronger, though, until it hurt. It was like a tight knot in her throat, each second she held back feeling like it might strangle her.Helena took a deep breath, her eyes were narrowing as she turned her attention back to the pod. She needed to say something—anything—to distract herself from the overwhelming need to confess.She swallowed hard. “It’s made up of a variety of synthetic tissues and bio-g
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THE SHORE CONSPIRACY
Marvin stepped away from Helena as he answered the call. His voice was steady. "Oliver, why are you calling me?"There was a brief pause before Oliver Grant’s voice came through the line, laced with urgency. "Sir, I need you to come to the shore immediately. There's an issue with the solar components."Marvin’s brow furrowed. "What issue?"Oliver exhaled sharply. "Our suppliers informed us that the monthly solar components have arrived, so we moved our transport trucks to receive them. But when we got there, some people from the AETC were already there, claiming rights over part of the shipment."Marvin’s expression darkened. "The AETC?" He knew the name well—the Advanced Energy and Technology Commission. "Can’t you handle it?" he asked, his voice was calm but firm."Sir," Oliver hesitated before continuing, "I wish I could. But this is the AETC we’re talking about. If we don’t handle this carefully, it could cause serious problems for us. I need you to come here personally to tackle
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR STANDOFF AT THE DOCKS
Marvin walked toward the scene, his mind was buzzing with uncertainty. The dock area was tense, filled with shouting and confusion. His staff, visibly upset, stood in a group, arguing with the law enforcement officers and AETC representatives. The solar components, which had been expected for their production projects, were surrounded by heavy machinery and armed police, with the situation looking more like a standoff than a simple shipment arrival.Oliver Grant stood to the side, his arms crossed, clearly frustrated as the tension in the air thickened. Marvin’s eyes narrowed as he took in the sight of the AETC representatives and their unyielding stance."These solar components are ours!" One of Marvin’s staff members was saying, his voice was sharp with anger. "There is no legal agreement that says the AETC can claim them. We’ve been waiting for weeks for this shipment."A tall man in a black suit, one of the AETC’s representatives, sneered. "If you don’t comply, we’ll seize the
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR A DELICATE BALANCE
Marvin stood silently for a moment, processing the gravity of the situation. The weight of the note in his hand felt heavier with every passing second. His mind raced, analyzing every possibility. This wasn’t just a simple dispute—it was more complicated, deeper, and far more dangerous than he had anticipated. He could feel the pressure building around him, the eyes of the AETC representatives and law enforcement officers still fixed on him, waiting for his response.Oliver Grant, still standing by Marvin’s side, stared at the paper in disbelief, his face shifted from confusion to suspicion. “So, you’re telling me the Prime Minister is involved in this? But why would we have problems with the AETC if he’s the one who funded the shipment?” Oliver whispered, his voice was low but filled with concern. He couldn’t hide the confusion in his voice. If the Prime Minister was behind this, why were they being threatened with the seizure of their goods?How could they sense a foul play in t
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THE WEIGHT OF A CHOICE
Marvin stepped away from the AETC representatives, his mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. The weight of the decision he had just made pressed down on him with the suffocating heaviness of an anchor. He knew, deep down, that the choice would have repercussions far beyond what he could fully understand in the moment. But it was the only option—at least for now.There were no more paths left to consider.As he reached the vehicle door, his thoughts swirled like a storm, but he forced himself to focus. He took one final glance at the representatives behind him. Their gazes were fixed on him, eyes heavy with expectation, the kind of expectation that held the power to crush even the most seasoned of men. Marvin didn’t flinch. He didn’t allow them the satisfaction of seeing how the pressure gnawed at him. On the outside, he remained composed, but inside, the tension was a constant buzz in his ears, rising in intensity with every passing second.He walked toward his vehicle,
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR TIPPING POINT
“Okay, listen,” his uncle continued after a moment of thought. “I’ll try to get in touch with the Prime Minister from my end. You stay calm, Marvin. We’ll figure this out. We have to.”Marvin let out a deep, shaky breath, feeling the smallest flicker of relief at the sound of his uncle’s confidence. “I appreciate it, Uncle. But please, hurry. I don’t know how much longer we have before this all completely unravels.”“I’ve got you covered,” Uncle Christopher said, his voice was steady and resolute. “I’ll make the call. Stay put. I’ll handle this.”Marvin ended the call and leaned back in his seat, his eyes closed as he tried to steady his breathing. He felt like a man standing on the edge of a precipice, with nothing but a swirling abyss below him. His mind buzzed with a thousand thoughts—each one more urgent than the last. The fear was overwhelming, but he couldn’t afford to let it consume him. He had to hold it together. For his company. For the future.Suddenly, his phone rang aga

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.
