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
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR A DANGEROUS GAME OF TRUST
Jessica took a deep breath, her eyes steady and focused. “I would like to…” She paused for a moment, choosing her words carefully. “No, I mean… even though you have taken over the company as CEO, that doesn’t mean I don’t care about it's success.”Marvin watched her closely, his expression was serious. He was trying to figure out if she was being honest or if this was just another smart move to win him over.“For heaven’s sake,” Jessica continued, moving her hands to show the room around her. “You haven’t even changed the name of the company. 'Zypher Group.' And I’m sure you don’t care about changing it, do you?”She was right. Marvin leaned back in his chair, his face showing no emotion. He didn’t care about the name of the company.His focus was on making money and gaining power. He didn’t worry about things like branding or names. In fact, if he was being honest, he wasn’t great at choosing names anyway. All he cared about was profit.Jessica didn’t wait for him to answer. She kept
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THE CALL THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING
Jessica nodded, her voice was steady and confident. “That is what’s best for you,” she said. “And that is what’s best for the legacy my family has fought to build all these years.”Marvin stared at her for a long moment, his mind turned over her words, weighing the risks and the potential benefits. “As much as I hate you, Jessica, I can’t deny the fact that your proposal is quite reasonable,” Marvin said, his voice was cold but firm. He leaned back in his chair, eyeing her carefully. “As a Richmond, being the CEO of a franchise that belongs to a rival family is very risky. However, without much further ado, I accept your request to be part of my executives. The procedures for your installation will begin in a few days' time.”Jessica’s heart raced with excitement, but she fought hard to keep her composure. Her well-crafted plan was finally falling into place. She allowed herself a small, polite smile as she nodded. “Thank you, Marvin, and despite our grievances in the past, I must
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR MARVIN RICHMOND REVEALED
The gates of the company headquarters groaned as they swung open, their movement was smooth and deliberate. Through the opening, four sleek black vehicles rolled in with a menacing air. They parked in a calculated manner, forming a neat yet intimidating line that reflected the power of those inside.The lead car's door opened first. A broad-shouldered, tough-looking man stepped out, his movements were precise, and his gaze was sharp. He strode to the back of the vehicle and opened the door with military precision.Victor Zypher emerged.The air seemed to change as he stepped out. A faint, spectral aura surrounded him, a shimmer was now in the air that made him appear larger than life. His presence was overwhelming—both regal and terrifying. On his wrist, he wore a golden bracelet, intricately designed and glowing faintly. That was no ordinary bracelet; it was his amulet, a powerful artifact that granted him the ability to turn invisible at will. It was a reminder of the special a
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THE FALLOUT BEGINS
The moment Victor Zypher uttered Marvin Richmond’s name, the room’s atmosphere grew heavier, suffused with unspoken tension. Marvin’s calm demeanor faltered, if only for a split second, before he composed himself. He stood, smoothing out his suit, and forced a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.“Mr. Zypher, oh, what a surprise.” Marvin extended a hand toward him, his voice was steady but it lacked conviction.Mr Victor didn’t take the hand. His piercing gaze bore into Marvin as though the handshake was beneath him. His tone was sharp, almost venomous. “What are you doing here, in an office meant for my daughter?”Marvin inhaled deeply, his composure was only slightly shaken. He clasped his hands behind his back and gave a practiced smile. “Well, Mr. Zypher, it’s a long story,” he began carefully. “But to sum it up, I run the entire Zypher branch here in Neovalle. However, you have no need to worry—your daughter is one of my executive staff members.”Mr Zypher’s expression hardened.
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THE SPECTRAL THREAT
Marvin’s expression remained calm, but his tone carried an edge of defiance. “And why should my business transaction with your daughter concern you?” he asked, his voice was cold and deliberate.Victor Zypher’s face darkened further, as his fury was barely contained. “Because it is my property she handed over to you, not hers!” he bellowed, with a voice that echoed through the office like a thunderclap.Marvin didn’t flinch. Instead, he tilted his head slightly, a faint smirk also creeped onto his face. “Well, Mr. Zypher,” he began, his voice was low but unyielding, “if you think that raising your voice on me is going to make me spill out just anything you want to hear from me, then you are mistaken.”His eyes locked with that of Mr Victor, and his tone grew colder. “Unless you are willing to calm down, sit so we can reason a way forward, get the hell out of my office before I do something to you and your entourage that you never expected.”For a moment, Victor Zypher froze. Marvin’s
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THROUGH BLOOD AND WILL
The room grew eerily silent as Mr. Zypher's form flickered and faded into invisibility, leaving Marvin seemingly alone. A faint chill ran through the air, the only trace of Mr Zypher's spectral presence. The tension was suffocating, and Marvin’s calm exterior began to falter ever so slightly.Suddenly, the faintest sound broke the silence—a sharp, piercing noise that Marvin instantly recognized. It was the sound of a blade slicing through the air, it was deadly and precise.Marvin’s instincts screamed at him. His heart pounded as he focused inward, calling upon the energy he had suppressed—his synapticore force. A low hum began to resonate in his head, growing louder as the energy within him stirred. Slowly, everything around him sharpened and became clearer. Shadows deepened, movements in the air became visible, and he could feel every vibration, every shift in the atmosphere.Meanwhile, Mr. Zypher, who was invisible and holding the dagger tightly in his hand, smiled to himself.

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.
