2025-01-03 17:30:59The doorbell echoed through the Winchester mansion.
Lisa’s mother went to open it, her heart pounding. As she pulled the door open, her heart nearly stopped. Standing there, in a silent but intimidating formation, was the Bigshark gang. “Oh no… this is trouble,” she whispered, her voice shaking. Everyone in the mansion froze, staring at the gang in fear. Faces paled, breaths held. Lisa’s mother stepped back, almost stumbling. “What have they gotten themselves into?” she muttered, watching the gang part to let someone through. As the group stepped aside, they revealed Tom and Lisa, both looking calm, with Delilah trailing behind, her head bowed, expression strained. It was something no one could’ve predicted. Lisa’s grandfather’s eyes narrowed as Lisa and Tom strode into the room. Delilah stayed back. Lisa motioned to the heavy suitcases the Bigsharks were carrying and had them set down in front of her grandfather. “Here’s the money,” she announced, her voice steady. “They even tripled the amount.” A murmur spread through the room. Shocked eyes darted between Lisa, Tom, and the Bigsharks, who, instead of causing trouble, seemed eager to avoid it. No one had ever seen the gang like this—respectful, almost subdued. The boss of the Bigsharks stepped forward, clearing his throat. “We… uh, we hope this clears our debt, and…” He hesitated, glancing at Tom. “We apologize for the delay. Please, accept our apology,” he said, bowing his head slightly before signaling his men to follow him out. The room remained silent as the gang left. When the door finally closed behind them. Eyes turned toward Tom, full of questions no one dared to ask. Tom looked at Lisa’s grandfather, his expression calm . “Now, is my wife allowed to contest for the CEO position?” he asked firmly. Lisa’s grandfather stared at Tom, then at the suitcases, speechless. Suddenly the crowd turned to the door opening as a tall , bulky man entered the room, carrying a large, gift-wrapped box. Lucas Hardy—a well-known philanthropist with a reputation as flashy as his wealth. People whispered and nodded in recognition, eyes following him as he made his way toward the family. “Am I late?” Lucas asked with a charming grin, dropping the huge gift onto a nearby table. He turned his gaze toward Lisa, his eyes lingering a little too long, his smile a bit familiar. “Lisa, how are you? You’re looking… thinner. Not eating well?” He threw a quick, dismissive glance at Tom, clearly aware of his presence but choosing to ignore it. Lisa frowned. “What are you doing here, Lucas?” Her mother, standing nearby, shot her a sharp look. “Lisa, that’s no way to speak to Lucas.” She stepped forward, smiling at him. “If it weren’t for Lucas, you wouldn’t be here today. You owe him more than you know.” “What are you talking about, Mom?” Lisa’s mother took a deep breath, her eyes darting between Lisa and Tom. “The Bigsharks didn’t harm you because I called Lucas for help,” she said, pride in her voice. “Without him, you wouldn’t be standing here.” Lucas gave a small nod, trying to maintain his composure, though confusion crossed his face. It was clear he had no idea how they’d survived the encounter with the Bigsharks. But he seized the moment, knowing the credit boosted his standing. Lisa’s jaw tightened. She didn’t believe it for a second. This was one of the reasons she’d refused to marry Lucas—he took credit for things he hadn’t done, always playing the hero . Her mother’s voice cut through Lisa’s thoughts “I won’t let you risk your life anymore with a sick, poor bastard like Tom,” she sneered, her eyes cold as she looked at her son-in-law. “I want you to divorce him. Right now.” Lisa’s eyes widened, her voice sharp. “Mom, what are you doing? This is my marriage. I decide what I want.” Her mother scowled. “Why are you still holding on to him, Lisa? He’s given you nothing but hardship and poverty. You could end this right now and marry a real man—Lucas.” Lisa shook her head, standing firm. “I’m not leaving Tom, Mom.” Her mother’s expression hardened. “I didn’t ask for your opinion. This isn’t up for debate. It’s compulsory, Lisa. You’re going to divorce him.”

Lisa took a step back. “No. I won’t divorce him. And if anyone mentions it again, I’ll leave this house right now.” Her voice was final. The room fell silent. Everyone could see she meant every word, and no one dared to push her further. Lucas cleared his throat, putting on a smile. “Alright, Lisa. I promise no one will bring it up again.” He held up his hands, looking around as if to assure everyone. “But… even if you don’t like the idea, how about a little drive with me? Just a short one.” His voice was casual, but the look in his eyes suggested there was more to it. Lisa hesitated, sensing his intent. But before she could answer, the door swung open, and in walked Debby, her longtime friend, looking flustered. She spotted Lucas instantly and rushed over, flashing him a bright smile. “Oh, Lucas! I didn’t know you’d be here!” she exclaimed, practically ignoring everyone else in the room. Tom stepped forward and gave her a polite nod. “Hey, Debby.” But Debby barely loo

At GOEXOTIC, the soft sound of a romantic song played , a band strumming gently as a singer's smooth voice filled the air. Candlelight flickering on the table where Lisa and Lucas sat. The waiter stood before them, patiently waiting as they studied the menu. Lucas glanced over at Lisa, his eyes glimmering with interest, but she remained focused, not looking up. After a moment, he broke the silence. "I'll have the salad, crab, and shrimp," he told the waiter, then turned to Lisa. "And a glass of champagne, please." The waiter nodded, then turned to Lisa, who was still deep in thought. After a pause, Lisa finally spoke. "A glass of champagne is fine," she said, setting the menu down. The waiter nodded and left to place the order. Lucas leaned back in his chair, a small smile tugging at his lips. "So," he began, breaking the silence, "Has Tom ever taken you to such an expensive place like this?" Lisa looked up at him, an eyebrow raised. "Is this all about Tom?" she asked, her vo

Debby appeared suddenly, walking over to the table with a haughty air. Her eyes narrowed as she took in the sight of Tom standing there. "Well, well," Debby said, her voice dripping with mockery. "Look who’s here. The beggar himself. How quaint." She sneered, her eyes raking over Tom from head to toe. Lisa’s heart pounded in her chest as she watched them. She had hoped to get away from the situation, but now it was only getting worse. "Leave him alone, Debby," Lisa said, her voice trembling with anger. "You have no right to talk to him like that." Debby ignored her, continuing to sneer. "How could you marry someone like that? He doesn’t even belong in a place like this. Does he wipe tables too?" She chuckled darkly. Lucas let out a sharp laugh, his eyes gleaming with malicious satisfaction. "He’s just a server here. A waiter, Lisa. Nothing more." He turned to Tom with a smirk. "Tell me, how’s the pay? Do you get a tip for working as the scum of the earth?" Lisa felt a tight kn

The next morning, Lucas sat slumped on his leather sofa in his oversized living room, his eyes fixed on the TV. The news anchor spoke in a serious tone, reporting updates on The Emperor—Tom Sullivan. Lucas's stomach twisted. He couldn’t shake the memory of Tom’s threat that echoed in his mind: “I’ll make you suffer.” His phone buzzed constantly, and his personal assistant, Trevor, paced the room, his own phone glued to his ear. Every few seconds, Trevor muttered into it before frowning and switching to another call. Finally, Trevor paused for a moment, his face pale as he looked over at Lucas. “Sir… there’s trouble,” he said quietly, glancing at the floor. Lucas exhaled, trying to keep calm. “What now?” Trevor shifted uncomfortably, glancing back at his phone. “It’s the business partners, sir. They’ve all… cut ties. Every single one.” He paused, almost as if bracing himself for Lucas’s reaction. Lucas’s jaw tightened, but he nodded. He’d expected a bit of fallout—but all

The soothing melody of the string quartet filled the grand hall, blending perfectly with the murmurs of conversation and clinking of glasses. The Metropolitan Hotel and Plaza Conference Hall was glittering with lights. Tom stood near the center, clad in a tailored black suit that fit him like a second skin. He held a champagne glass, conversing with the governor, whose booming laughter punctuated their exchange. “General Tom,” the governor said, gripping his arm warmly. “It’s a pleasure to see you again. We’ve missed such brilliance at these events. Truly, it’s good to have you back where you belong.” Tom smiled, a charming but measured expression. “The pleasure is mine, Your Excellency. Life has its twists, but it feels good to finally stand on solid ground again.” The governor nodded approvingly, raising his glass. “Cheers to your success, my boy. You’ve made quite the comeback.” As Tom excused himself to mingle with other guests, a familiar face stopped him. It was Vincen

The police swarmed the hall, their sirens piercing the air as they secured the scene. All the guests were in total shock, their faces pale and frightened from that gunshot. Amidst all of the chaos, Tom was rooted to the spot. His mind kept reeling with questions. Who wanted him dead? That was the million-dollar question that he needed an answer to. He however felt a wave of gratitude wash over him, since none of his esteemed guests were hurt. That would have been a much bigger issue, and so he was very thankful that nothing like that happened. Tom scanned around for any clues, but there was no trace of the assassin. He had vanished into thing air without being captured by the authorities. The police scrambled to review the security footage, but Tom knew it was a long shoot. So that wasn't going to be of any benefit. Just as he was about to let out a sigh of relief, his phone rang. He grabbed the phone from his pocket and answered the call. A doctor's voice came on the line.

"Let's have sex," she said matter-of-factly. Lisa stood at the foot of the bed, her hands steady as she let the nightgown fall to the floor until it settled on her feet. The man sitting on the bed barely moved, his eyes unfocused ahead, his body stiff. He didn't glance at her, just sat there, numb, unseen, as if he hadn't even heard her. Lisa drew closer, scrambling onto the bed until her bare skin grazed against his. She settled onto his lap, legs around him. He tensed up; his breathing came shallow, and his eyes darted in quick jitters from her face to the floor. "What-what are you doing?" he stuttered, his hands hovering without surety over her skin for some sort of placement. His face turned beet red, and his voice came out no louder than a whisper. She leaned in, her eyes fixed on his, and told him, "I need you to be a man." He swallowed hard and tried to say just what he needed to. "L-Lisa, I. I don't think this is a good idea," he said awkwardly, his eyes darting around

The doorbell echoed through the Winchester mansion. Lisa’s mother went to open it, her heart pounding. As she pulled the door open, her heart nearly stopped.

A hooting sound echoed from the rear loud enough to be audible. "She must be nuts. Messing with Bigsharks? Death wish if there ever was one." Still, another murmured in dismay, shaking his head: "Only an idiot would tackle them. Setting herself up to fail." Lisa's mother stood forward, marked with anxious lines and resentment. "Lisa, this is insane!" she admonished. "You think you can just walk in and ask those people for money? You're going to get yourself killed. And you're listening to him"-she sent Tom a withering look-"your poor, clueless husband, egging you into this mess." Lisa felt doubt clawing at her as she suddenly wondered what she was really doing. They were right-it was insane. Her mother rolled her eyes. "I regret ever giving birth to you, Lisa," she spat, cold. Then she turned sharply on her heel, storming out of the room. Delilah watched, trying and failing to conceal a smirk. Delilah's luck simply could not get any better than this. Their grandfather had just s
