Mr. Edward walked into Leander's office as the door crept open.

Upon entering, he took a deep gasp, his anxiety weighing on him. As Leander looked up at him, he quickly connected his gaze before muttering, “Master, good day sir!”

“Did you do as I asked?” Leander nodded, intrigued.

“Yes, sir. I have informed the board members,” Mr. Edward replied with a bow.

Leander's new office was a modern masterpiece. Windows flooded the room with light, showing off the city skyline. The walls were elegantly decorated with sleek art pieces, striking a balance between sophistication and clutter-free space. Light bounced off the large mahogany desk, emphasizing Leander's power and authority.

Leander sat in the leather seat behind the desk, books on strategy and innovation lined one side of the room, while a high-tech console kept him connected and in control on the other.

Leander's fingers intertwined as he pondered Mr. Edward's words. "Make sure they understand the gravity of this. The AI project is

    With each passing second, Leander’s expression darkened as he contemplated Sophia’s words. "But it won't still be enough. These people are more formidable than you think, Leander," Sophia said with a soft sigh, her face etched with a disdainful frown. Leander was deeply contemplative after hearing her words."I'll consider it, but I don't trust anyone," Unaware that he was speaking aloud, Leander muttered with doubt and dissatisfaction evident in his voice."Leander, I'm not saying you should trust them, okay? But understand, they have an edge over us. Their weapon is more potent than you realize," Sophia countered, her voice filled with confident resolve.Leander's curiosity was piqued, and he furrowed his brows. "What weapon?" he asked sharply."Influence," Sophia replied, her eyes narrowing. "These politicians have mastered the art of cooperation and teamwork. None of them could single-handedly seize Daxton's assets. They devised this plan together, backed by a few corrupt high-ran

    Leander paused for a while, fully comprehending the weight of the transition. As it will become a subsidiary of his own company, Veritas Conglomerate, Etherium University is now under his responsibility. He felt a surge of determination. There was much to do, and he was ready to begin.“Having successfully bought Ethereum University, I am now free to do whatever I want,” Leander muttered to himself. In no time, Ms. Walker approached him, her smile warm and appreciative. She murmured, offering a handshake, "Leander, congratulations to you!"Leander reciprocated her smile, retorting, “Much obliged. Glad to hear you aced it”"I did nothing, Brianna took care of everything for you. She deserves those praises," Ms. Walker casually brushed off Leander’s compliments, carefully choosing her words.The mere mention of Brianna caused Leander to feel a surge of uncertainty and anxiety. Speechless, his breath turned hot as thoughts of Brianna's actions spun in his mind. He felt a whirlwind of em

    Opulence radiated from the gala hall, where elegantly dressed figures mingled amidst the soft glow of crystal chandeliers. Leander, dressed in a tailored tuxedo, smoothly made his way through the crowd, his eyes searching for familiar faces. Spotting a group near the bar, he made his way over."Rex!" Leander greeted warmly, extending a hand. "Good to see you here."Rex, with a perpetual smirk, shook his hand firmly. He was surprised to see Leander as he muttered, "Likewise, Leander. Didn't think you'd make it to something like this"A trace of disgust appears on Leander’s face as he fakes a light chuckle. "Oh, you know how these things are. Couldn't resist"While engaging in small talk, Leander couldn’t ignore the presence of a glowering figure by Rex’s side - Sebastian.. Sebastian acknowledged Leander with a barely perceptible nod, his cold eyes locked onto him."So, Rex," Leander began, attempting to break the tension, “how’s your thesis coming along?”Rex gave into a detailed expl

    Leander looked out of his penthouse office, admiring the breathtaking view of the Etherium skyline. A private jet purchase was imminent for him, representing his success in a way that few others could match.However, he was interrupted from his thoughts by the buzzing of his phone. It was a message from Elaine, his new personal assistant, "Master, Goldstein, your 11 AM appointment is here”Leander straightened his suit jacket, took a final glance at his reflection, and headed to the conference room. While walking, he observed his employees fully engaged in their work, a sight that always made him proud. They were the backbone of his empire."Master Goldstein, good to see you," said the sales executive from Skyward Aviation, standing up as Leander entered. The tall man was dressed perfectly and exuded confidence that matched his profession. He was one of the top salespeople at Skyward Aviation, a premier supplier of private jets."Uh, it's good to see you too," Leander replied, shaki

    That was three weeks ago. Since then, there have been no calls, no texts between Leander and Brianna. Just silence. Her absence left a huge void in his life. Every part of his day seemed incomplete without her. He missed their late-night talks, the way she could make him laugh with a single word, the way she understood his unspoken thoughts.Leander stood up and walked to the window, staring out at the rain-soaked streets. He found himself trapped in a tempest that he had brought upon himself. Over and over, he replayed the argument in his mind, hoping for Brianna to give him another chance. His chest tightened with displeasure, a physical pain that made it hard to breathe.Taking a deep breath, Leander picked up his phone. His fingers trembled as he typed out a message, deleting and rewriting it several times. Finally, he settled on simplicity."Can we talk? I'm sorry"He stared at the screen, his thumb hovering over the send button. What if she didn’t respond? The thought was un

    In a secluded corner of the campus, near a lush, manicured garden, Leander sat on a bench in deep contemplation. Returning to Etherium University, once a dream, is now a reality that he can’t believe.He had come to this place for silence, but he anticipated that someone would find him soon enough. Leander wasn't just another student. The once-hidden billionaire is now revealed, and his recent actions have stunned everyone, especially those who despised him. It had all changed at the auction last week. Bid after bid, he surpassed everyone, increasing his stakes and staying unwavering. And by the end of the day, he secured the most valuable artifacts, leaving the rest in stunned silence.Now, as he sat in the tranquility of the garden, he saw them approaching. Rex, with a perpetual sneer; Brayden, with his carefully groomed appearance and calculating eyes; and Sebastian, trailing slightly behind, his usual smirk replaced with a gaze of uncertainty.Rex was the first to speak.

    Despite the late hour, the triowas abuzz with activity, Rex, Sebastian and Brayden murmuring about the recent turn of events.Rex paced back and forth, his face flushed with anger. "I can't believe he did it. He actually bought this university?"Brayden limped back to his chair, shaking his head. "We should have seen this coming. I think it's all our fault for relying secretly on Brianna. This isn't what we agreed on. Her friendship with Leander was supposed to be our buffer”Sebastian, seated on a dusty chair, looked up at the two. "This is more than just unexpected. It's a power play. He's got us exactly where he wants us"Rex stopped pacing and turned to Brayden and Sebastian. "We can't let this stand. We have to stop him before he starts his revenge. We should know what he's capable of"Before either of them had a chance to answer, the door to their temporary meeting room opened, making a creaking sound. Brianna’s serene demeanor was a striking difference from the tense ambiance i

    As the evening wound down at the Evans estate, Leander found himself reflecting on how smoothly the dinner had gone. The partnership with the Evans family held tremendous potential, and for the first time in years, the idea of forging alliances felt more natural than adversarial. He was about to leave when Walter extended a hand and stopped him.“Leander, a word before you go?” Walter asked, gesturing toward his study.Curious but composed, Leander nodded. “Of course.”The two entered the dimly lit study, where walls were lined with shelves of leather-bound books. A vintage globe stood by the window, and the scent of aged wood filled the room. Walter closed the door behind them and motioned for Leander to sit in one of the plush chairs by the fireplace.“What’s on your mind?” Leander asked, his tone measured.Walter sat across from him, a serious expression settling over his face. “I need to ask for your discretion, Leander.

    The grand hall of the Thornton estate was resplendent with luxury. Crystal chandeliers sparkled overhead, casting a golden glow on the marble floors, while the walls were adorned with intricate tapestries depicting the family’s storied lineage. It was their annual feast—a celebration of the Thornton legacy, a night to flaunt wealth, power, and influence to the elite of society.Leander stood at the entrance, his sharp suit tailored to perfection. His expression was calm, almost unreadable, but his eyes held a glint of quiet determination. He had been invited, not out of goodwill but as a courtesy and a calculated move by the Thornton family to show they had nothing to fear from him. After all, Leander's recent rise in influence had made him a threat, even to the likes of the Thorntons.As he stepped into the hall, the chatter quieted for a moment. All eyes turned to him. He was an outsider in this circle of established power, yet his presence demanded respect."Leander," Albert Thornt

    Leander stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at the skyline. The city below was alive with movement, lights flickering in every direction, but up here, in the quiet of his penthouse, it felt like a different world. He took a slow sip of whiskey, feeling the warmth spread through him. The quiet of the evening was a rare gift, one he appreciated more than he let on.The sound of the door opening behind him brought his attention back to the present. Wyatt walked in, his usual easygoing demeanor at odds with the tension in his posture."What's got you in such a rush?" Leander asked, his voice low but carrying a note of curiosity.Wyatt closed the door softly behind him, walking across the room to join Leander by the windows. "Just came from a meeting with the board. It's about the next quarter." He paused, eyeing the glass in Leander's hand. "You're drinking already?"Leander smirked, taking another sip. "Some days, it feels necessary."Wyatt shook his head but didn't commen

    As the evening stretched into night, the two friends returned to their seats, the conversation flowing easily once more. They discussed upcoming projects, potential collaborations, and their shared vision for the future. “You know,” Wyatt said, swirling the last of his whiskey, “we should do this more often. Just sit back and talk, no agendas or deadlines looming over us.” “I’d like that,” Leander said, a rare note of vulnerability in his voice. “It’s easy to lose sight of what really matters when you’re caught up in the grind.” Wyatt nodded, raising his glass. “To friendship, then. The one thing that’s worth more than all the deals in the world.” Leander clinked his glass against Wyatt’s, the sound ringing out like a promise.The conversation deepened as the night drew on, the city lights sparkling in the background.

    The late afternoon sun cast a golden glow over the expansive terrace of Wyatt’s penthouse. The panoramic view of the city was breathtaking, with skyscrapers reflecting the sun’s brilliance and the streets below teeming with life. Leander leaned back in one of the plush armchairs, a tumbler of whiskey resting on the table in front of him. Across from him, Wyatt lounged in his usual carefree manner, his tie loosened and the top button of his shirt undone.“So,” Wyatt began, swirling the amber liquid in his glass, “how’s Brianna handling your new found glory as a corporate savior?”Leander chuckled, shaking his head. “She’s proud, of course, but she keeps reminding me not to let it get to my head. Says she doesn’t want to live with an ego the size of this penthouse.”Wyatt laughed, the sound rich and genuine. “Smart woman. You’d be insufferable if you started taking yourself too seriously.”“Says the man who had a custom portrait commissioned for his office,” Leander shot back, smirking.
