“Do you agree, Leander?” Wyatt asked sharply.

Leander sighed in relief. “Alright, I guess I have no other choice”

“Okay, fine. I will talk to her about it soon,” Wyatt replied. “And I’ll keep you updated.”

Sophia shook her head. “No problem. I’ll also get in touch with more people who can help.”

As the meeting drew to a close, Leander and Wyatt got up. After Wyatt said goodbye to Leander's mother, they headed to the door, Wyatt carrying his briefcase.

Once outside, Leander muttered, “Wyatt, isn’t there someone else who could handle this?”

“What?” Wyatt was taken aback. He turned to Leander, searching for words. “I thought you already agreed”

“Of course, I’m just wondering if perhaps…” Leander paused, squinting.

Wyatt pressed on, “Well, I would go for Brianna or her aunt, Alyssa. They’re the best for the job. The others aren’t trustworthy”

“My mom knows many government officials, but she doesn’t have anyone she can trust. We don’t know who’s supporting who,” Leander said, a smirk on hi

    "It's possible," Heather said. "I thought you told me that she received £50,000 from Rex on her 19th birthday, right?""Of course, you're right," Leander nodded in confirmation.Heather let out a soft sigh and turned to Leander.

I got mugged by masked thugs on the road a while from now"Sophia's voice spiked with alarm, "What the fuck? Are you okay?""Yes. They only swooped in for the hard drive I got from the vault in dad's office," Leander recounted, anxiety and frustration lacing his words."So, you gave it to them? You know they already got the secret. Maybe we should do away with the issue," Sophia suggested, sounding fed up."Mom, we're still in the game. I'm not quitting now. I saw it coming, so I cleared the drive and played it smart," Leander's announcement filled Sophia with a rush of excitement and determination.With her curiosity sparked, Sophia couldn't help but ask, "If they notice it's empty, won't they come back again?""I bet they won't dare me," Leander said confidently.

How may I help you?”Leander wasted no time in explaining the situation, his voice conveying urgency and authority. “I just need your team’s help. I have a high-stakes operation, and I trust no one else but your retired Navy SEALs”Max Masterson, a former SEAL, had formed a powerful group of ex-military personnel with expertise in private security and covert missions.

How was your night? I suppose you woke me this morning""Sorry for all the calls, but you were MIA," Brianna's voice tinged with apology.Leander's eyebrows shot up. "Really?

    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.
