This dday, Leander was set to meet with high-ranking government officials to discuss his entitlement to his father’s assets, which were taken by the government three months ago due to their belief that he had no heir.

Leander sat behind his large oak desk, his fingers steepling as he considered the situation. A sense of tense anticipation filled the room, with only the sound of papers shuffling and a high-end wall clock ticking in the corner. Engrossed in preparations, the sharp-suited attorneys on his legal team maintained serious and focused expressions.

The door opened, and Leander's personal assistant, Elaine, ushered in the government officials. Mr. Fitzgerald, a seasoned bureaucrat known for his intelligence and unwavering nature, was in charge. With an air of authority, he walked into the room and scanned his eyes everywhere until they landed on Leander.

I've made all your favorites tonight,” Grandma said with a warm smile.“Merci, Maman,” Elena said, smiling at her mother as she placed a dish on the table. “It's good to be back home.”Camila settled into her seat, still stealing glances at Rex.

She picked up her fork, trying to focus on the food in front of her.Rex leaned in slightly, whispering, “You okay?”Camila nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. “Just still a bit surprised, that's all.”Elena noticed the interaction and raised an eyebrow, a playfu

I have good news for you,” Camila said, approaching Elena with a smile, her excitement and satisfaction evident.Elena’s curiosity piqued, and she asked, “What is the good news?”Camila chuckled softly as she revealed, “I just got a message that my certificate is now being released by Etherium University.”Elena’s eyes widened with delight. “Oh, Camila, that’s wonderful!

    Rex's mind raced. His curiosity and fear overwhelmed him, but he couldn't risk revealing too much. "What do you want from me?" The mysterious stranger slowly took off the hood over his head, revealing his face under the gleaming chandelier lights of the bar. Rex recognized him immediately, his lips parting in surprise. "So, it's you, Mr. Parker.""Damn it, you already scared me with that gangster-like voice," Rex exclaimed, slapping his forehead in displeasure. Regaining his composure, he sighed and smiled at Mr. Parker, who was known as the assistant to Leander's late father, Daxton."Oh really?" Mr. Parker's sharp reply echoed through the bar, his voice booming."But wait, how did you know I was here?" Confused and concerned, Rex demanded answers, his breath hitching."Well, I'm here with my friends for some refreshments and relaxation. That's all," Mr. Parker answered with a raised eyebrow, a soft chuckle dancing on his lips.But then Rex detected a burning scent, like a cigarette

"Of course, there's nothing stopping me. This is the moment I've been waiting for.”He felt a rush of excitement in his stomach. Missing this opportunity to end the feud with Leander could result in complete ruin for him. After all, he couldn't match Leander's power and influence in a court trial. By resolving this conflict, he would have time to rebuild himself and become a formidable rival to Leander."Thank you so much, Mr. Parker," Rex said, his face beaming with an appreciative smile.As Mr. Parker prepared to leave, he quickly dipped his fingers into his shirt pocket and pulled out a business card.

    "But I guess the person is someone you might have heard of before," Naomi added, taking a deep breath."Are you kidding me?" Camila's eyes widened in surprise. "I can't believe what you're saying."Naomi leaned in closer, her face beaming with excitement. "Ma, I communicated with some individuals about the owner of the private equity firm. They couldn't provide the person's identity. One of them even looked certain and told me you would definitely know the person since he or she was convinced to invest in your business.”A jolt coursed through Camila as she was left speechless at this point. She couldn't help but stare at Naomi intensely, a bit spooked by her words.“Well, I don’t know the person.” Camila sighed softly as she shrugged off.

    She sighed, reluctantly turning to face him. "Leander," she said coolly, her tone sharp and dismissive.Leander's smile faltered slightly at Camila's icy tone, but he pressed on. "Uh, it's been a long time. I see you've done quite well for yourself."Camila's lips curled into a smug smile with a hint of pride. "Yes, well, I suppose I have. I'm an actress and I run a billion-dollar real estate empire, and my finance company tends to keep one busy.”Leander's eyes widened in shock, and he gave her applause. “What? A billion-dollar empire? That's impressive.”“Thank you,” Camila replied, her tone dripping with pride. “And I have Rex to thank for a lot of it. He’s been my rock. He is a good partner indeed, not just campus friends anymore in every sense of the word.” She cast a fond glance at Rex.“Just imagine; you said that's impressive. If I were still with you with your poor lifestyle, then I wouldn't have reached this point,” Camila taunted, her soft voice underestimating.Rex stepped

    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.
