THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THE MISSING CARD
Marvin woke up, and the sunlight spilled through the blinds of the hotel room. His body ached slightly, and as he shifted under the soft sheets, he realized he was completely naked. The events of the previous night rushed back to him—Jessica Zypher, her sharp eyes, her confident smile, and the fiery passionate intimacy they had shared.He turned his head, expecting to see her next to him. But the bed was empty. Marvin sat up, scanning the room. There was no trace of her. Her scent still lingered faintly in the air, but Jessica was gone. He let out a dry laugh, shaking his head."What a bitch," he muttered to himself, running a hand through his hair. "Just disappeared like a ghost, huh?"Scratching his blonde beard, he frowned. "Ah, this beard. Such a burden," he grumbled. "So much for a Scandinavian disguise."Marvin stood up and walked across the room, his bare feet was silent on the carpeted floor. He made his way to the entrance of the hotel room, carefully locking the door. S
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR REVEALED
Marvin stood frozen for a moment, staring at the empty pocket of his trousers. His mind raced. How could his Diamond Royale card be gone? That card never left his possession—it was worth billions, his lifeline for the upcoming auction.“No, no, this can’t be,” he muttered to himself, shaking his head. He patted down every inch of the trousers again, as though he might have missed it the first time. But the pocket was empty.His chest tightened with panic. “How? When? That card never leaves me. I’m not a careless person. No. This doesn’t make sense,” he said aloud, trying to calm his rising frustration.Marvin turned his attention to the rest of the room. Maybe it had fallen out while he was asleep or during his intimate moment with Jessica. He began searching every corner.First, he checked the bed. He threw off the soft sheets and flipped over the pillows, scanning for any sign of the card. Nothing.He dropped to his knees and looked under the bed, running his hand along the carpet.
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THE DIAMOND ROYALE DILEMMA
“Ah, shut up, Marvin,” Jessica snapped, cutting him off mid-sentence. Her voice was sharp, filled with mockery and disdain.“Spare me all those crappy lies. Did you really think you could play me? That I wouldn’t figure you out? Please.”She let out a cold, sharp laugh, the sound was dripping with satisfaction.“You thought you could outsmart me? Oh no, Marvin. I knew you were going to stand in my way of owning Project Helios. I knew you’d try to outbid me. But guess what? That’s not going to happen now. Not without your Diamond Royale card. Not without your precious billions. Face it—you’ve got no money, no power anymore. You’ve already lost.”Marvin’s jaw tightened as anger surged through him. His voice was steady, but there was a dangerous edge to it. “Jessica, you’re going to return my Diamond Royale card today. If you don’t, all hell will break loose, and every single one of your family’s investments in Neovalle will crumble to dust.”Jessica gasped mockingly, then laughed again

THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THROUGH THE VOID

She stepped forward, determined to confront the governor and demand answers.But then, something strange happened.As she moved past her assistant seated beside her, her body slipped right through her—no bump, no resistance.Jessica froze mid-step, her heart started pounding. She turned to the lady, expecting her to react. But she just sat there, staring calmly at the stage, completely unaware of what had just occurred.Her eyes widened. She reached out to touch the back of the chair in front of her.Her hand passed through it.“No,” she whispered, her voice was trembling. Her legs wobbled as panic began to creep in. Desperately, she waved a hand in front of her assistant’s face.“Laura! Look at me!” she shouted. “Do something!”But Laura didn’t flinch. Her eyes stayed fixed on the stage like everyone else in the room.Jessica’s chest tightened. She shouted louder, as her voice had risen in pa

His silver suit reflected the bright lights, and his composed demeanor commanded the attention of every guest.He cleared his throat, letting the silence stretch just long enough to build anticipation. Then, with a small smile, he began."Thank you all for being here tonight," he said, his voice was steady and smooth. "As most of you know, this auction was not just about money—it was about vision. About responsibility. And, above all, about ensuring that Project Helios reaches its full potential."The audience listened intently, nodding along, eager to hear what Marvin had to say next."I must admit," he continued, leaning slightly forward, "it was quite a sacrifice to make this bid today."

THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THE VICTOR'S STAGE

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,

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.
