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

    The pulsing beat of electronic music and neon lights brought the club to life. Leander and Lindsey stood at the entrance, Lindsey adjusting her dress and Leander straightening his collar. The excitement of the night hung in the air. "Are you sure this is your scene?" Lindsey asked, raising an eyebrow at him.Leander grinned. "What, you think I can't handle a little dance?"Lindsey laughed, her eyes sparkling. "Well, you do seem more like the quiet dinner type""Hang on, I guess you might find this surprising," he said with a wink.As they made their way through the crowd, the music intensified. Inside, the atmosphere was electric. Lost in the music, people moved and swayed to the rhythm as he cheered. "Uh, drinks first?" Leander suggested, nodding towards the bar."Hmm, lead the way," Lindsey replied.They made their way through the group of dancers to reach the bar. Leander motioned for the bartender and ordered a pair of cocktails."So," Lindsey said, leaning in closer to be heard

    Exhausted but satisfied, they found a corner table as the night club drew to a close. Recognizing the need to rehydrate after hours of dancing, Leander asked for a few glasses of water."You've got some moves," Lindsey said, taking a long drink of water."I aim to impress," Leander replied with a wink."Well, consider me impressed," she said. "This night has been amazing.""It has," Leander agreed. "And it's not over yet.""Oh? What else do you have planned?" Lindsey asked, raising an eyebrow."Uh, you'll see," he said, standing up and offering her his hand. "Come on"Curious and excited, Lindsey took his hand and let him lead her to a more secluded part of the club. There was a VIP area, roped off from the rest of the crowd. Leander gave a nod to the bouncer, who then lifted the rope to allow them to pass."How did you manage that?" Lindsey asked, impressed."I have my ways," Leander said.Inside the VIP section, the music was still loud, but the atmosphere was more relaxed. Guests h

    Rex’s apartment off-campus was the perfect example of subtle luxury. The contemporary design of the space reflected his family’s affluence without being flashy.Tonight, he had invited a few campus lolfriends over for dinner. Among them were Clara and Madison who had caught Rex's eye recently.The evening began with laughter and conversation in Rex's spacious dining room. A private chef hired by Rex prepared a sumptuous meal that the group enjoyed. The food was superb, and the wine was abundant."So, Clara, how's the campaign going for student council president?" Brayden asked, leaning back in his chair.Clara grinned. "It's going well. I think I have a good chance this year. My platform is all about transparency and improving student resources"Rex nodded. "I think you'd make a great president, Clara. You've got the drive and the charisma""Thanks, Rex," Clara replied. "What about you? How are your business classes treating you?"Rex chuckled. "They're tough, but I'm managing. The e

    Clara couldn’t bear the weight of the fact she had been carrying since that night at Rex’s apartment on her own. As she understood the extent to which Rex had ruined her, she couldn’t help but feel pity for Camila.Clara, a key ally of Leander, now acts as his covert surveillance operative, strategically setting up a trap for Rex that no one, not even himself, can escape.A moment later, Leander strode in, his relaxed aura calming Clara. Catching sight of her, he approached with an inquisitive grin on his face."Hey, Clara. What's up? You sounded pretty serious in your text," Leander said as he sat down across from her.Clara took a deep breath, trying to find the right words. "Leander, I need to tell you something, but you have to promise not to freak out"Leander raised an eyebrow. "Okay, I promise. What happened?"Clara looked around to make sure no one was listening, then leaned in closer. "It's about Rex and Madison"Leander's eyes widened. "Rex and Madison? What about them?"Cla

    Mr. Parker's eyebrow shot up, his gaze locking onto Leander. He paused, his words teetering on the edge of his lips before he sealed his mouth. Yet Leander's impatience bubbled over as he blurted out, "Come on, say something... You were about to!"“Yeah, stay calm, I am trying to put things together,” Mr. Parker gave a swift response, his voice tinged with anxiety.Next, Leander’s mind raced as he struggled to comprehend how the government and the royal officials had discovered his father’s secret riches. Suspicion ate away at him, propelling him back to the day he assumed the presidency of Veritas Conglomerate. A large, enigmatic tension existed between him and Mr. Parker, a mystery yet to be solved.Leander’s gaze became focused and he posed a demanding question to Mr. Parker, seeking answers. "Can you be trusted? I just need to know who I'm dealing with. How did my father's wealth get exposed?" His words were slurred.Mr. Parker's eyebrows shot up in disbelief. "Ah, what are you

    "Fine," Mr. Parker replied, trying to come up with convincing words to make Leander believe him. "I know you believe the rumors about me...."".... But if I had done something disloyal to your father, he would have kicked me out. And I only helped because of him, not for my own gain" Despite his anger, Leander couldn’t help but smirk at Mr. Parker’s words. "I don't need your help. It sucks. It's useless and sickening that you are only looking out for yourself, and not my father or our family's legacy" "Don't act like you're better than everyone else," Leander's voice boomed, filling the air with tension. "But mark my words, I will hunt you down until you are eliminated”Upon hearing such threatening words, Mr. Parker turned to face Leander and reminded him of what he had said."Are you well aware that your statement is a threat to my right to live? That's what I interpreted it to," Mr. Parker muttered.Leander's scowl was deadly as he reassured him, "I won't be the one to end your l

    Once he was done with Mr. Parker, Leander went to pick up his Personal Assistant, Elaine, on the road, as he got ready for another appointment.Within few minutes, Leander and Elaine reached a Bugatti dealership, the sunlight reflecting off the cars’ polished metal and chrome. With a deep breath, he felt a powerful blend of excitement and skepticism. This was it. The moment he had dreamt of for so many years."I think this will definitely be great, master," Elaine, his personal assistant, muttered with a smile. She was always composed, her demeanor professional yet warm. Today, though, there was a sparkle in her eyes, knowing how much this meant to him."I can't believe it's actually happening," Leander replied, his voice tinged with awe. "I've dreamt of this day for so long. Let's do it"Upon entering, they were met with the showroom’s opulent and refreshing interior. A well-dressed salesperson approached them with a welcoming smile."Good afternoon. How can I help you today?"Leand

    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.
