After three years, Camila finally found herself in her luxurious mansion. Surrounded by opulence, she stayed in her bedroom, each detail a testament to her hard-earned success.

It was unbelievable to her how she had achieved success and made her family proud. Her achievements in her acting career are owed to the help of Zara and Xavier, the Australian celebrities. Camila is now recognized as a prominent public figure and influential personality, gaining everyone's attention.

It’s shocking that Camila, with the backing of a mysterious private equity investor, now owns a real estate and finance entity. The combined net worth of both firms exceeds more than half of her total wealth.

The realization struck that it was almost 9 a.m., and time was running out. Camila rose from her chaise lounge, her thoughts consumed by the mysterious individual who had covertly supported her business over the past year, disguised as a private equity investor.

In excitement and disbelief, she got up and hea

    "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. Still surprised by her assistant’s words, she was left in deep contemplation, her mind flipping through the identities of the high-profile CEOs, popular athletes, and billionaires she was familiar with. But still, she couldn't figure anyone out.Aft

    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

    Camila's jaw dropped in shock. "What? Are you sure he was here earlier?" She shook her head, her brows furrowed in confusion. "No one saw him, and we can't even identify him," she protested.“He was here earlier, I swear! He was talking to people,” the young man persisted, leaving Camila, Rex, and Naomi speechless.“Damn it. How did we miss him? Is he a ghost or something?” Naomi exclaimed, her fists clenched in anger. Camila slapped her forehead in frustration. But she didn't let it slow her down; she quickly thought of a solution.Rex was perplexed too. He couldn’t help but ask sharply, his expression stern and curious, "Okay, you know what? Do you know his name? If we have his name, we can find him.”The young man shook his head slightly, his gaze uncertain. “I don’t know his name. Someone among us pointed him out while we were talking.”With a sense of urgency and curiosity, Rex demanded, “Do you know where he is right now?”The young man glanced around nervously before responding

    Elaine then called his attention to something strange. "Master, look over here!" she exclaimed.However, she pointed towards a small shelf in the corner that seemed out of place. Among the neatly arranged personal care items, there was a fancy box that looked like it belonged in an antique shop rather than a modern supermarket. Leander became curious when he noticed the intricate carvings and faint glow."What's this doing here?" Leander muttered, stepping closer to check the box. As he reached out to touch it, the store manager rushed over, looking nervous."Excuse me, sir. That item is not for sale," the manager said, trying to sound firm but clearly worried about Leander's interest.Leander raised an eyebrow, even more interested now. "Why is it here, then?"The manager hesitated, looking around nervously. "It's... complicated. It's part of a special event we're planning, but it's not supposed to be on display yet. I apologize for the confusion."Leander exchanged a glance with Ela

    He quickly composed himself, turning back towards the staircase. At an urgent pace, he abruptly turned back, his mind in a state of chaos and disbelief.As he approached his waiting henchmen and Elaine, he couldn't mask the shock in his voice. "Uh, it's time to leave, now," he instructed, his tone firm.Leander, who didn't seem to be in haste, continued out of the supermarket with his henchmen, remaining silent.***The Dean of Science at Etherium University, Ms. Walker and Dr. Nguyen, held a meeting with Leander Goldstein in the administrative hall to discuss their plans for the new academic year, as Leander had recently acquired the university. The reason for this discussion was the circulating rumors that Leander had not yet agreed to a two-year incentive from Veritas Conglomerate for the university.Leander sat comfortably in the plush leather chair, appreciating the blend of modern technology and classic elegance that characterized the hall.

    “Having dinner with my ex? That sounds kind of weird,” she thought to herself before responding, her voice playful with a hint of pride. She hinted to her left and smirked. “Sorry, I can't have dinner with you because here's my real man.”Leander's eyes followed her finger to see Rex standing there, his presence charismatic and dominant, adding an extra layer of tension to the moment.Camila sneered, her eyes dripping with disgust and uncertainty. "Uh, can you see that you're not husband or boyfriend material?”Leander met her gaze, unflinching. "Is that really what you think, Camila? Or are you just trying to convince yourself?"Camila's smirk faltered slightly, a flicker of doubt crossing her face. "I don't have to convince myself of anything. I've moved on.""Have you?" Leander's voice was calm but piercing. "If you're so sure about Rex, why does my presence bother you so much?"Rex stepped forward, his demeanor intimidating. "Is there a problem here, Camila?""No problem at all,"

    Leander’s face displayed a combination of surprise and amusement as he turned. His eyebrows raised a little, and a gentle laugh slipped out. “Mom?”Sophia exclaimed, a mischievous glint in her eye, her smile teasing yet warm. “I was thinking more along the lines of fiancée, don’t you think?”Lindsey blushed deeply, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her dress as she glanced at Leander. He chuckled softly, shaking his head. “Mom, one step at a time,” Thomas laughed heartily, clapping a hand on Leander’s shoulder. The weight of his amusement was palpable. “Well, it sounds like you’ve got some high expectations to meet, young man.”“Just imagine; they’ve been together for so long,” Sophia added with a soft sigh and a firm tone, her eyes gleaming with a mix of affection and expectation.Leander chuckled again, his smile widening as he looked at Lindsey, who offered a shy smile. “Mom, you’re making Lindsey blush.”Lindsey, indeed blushing, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her vo

    “Yeah, I know you won’t,” Leander said, giving her a reassuring smile. “Now, let me get you settled in.”They walked to the elevator, which whisked them up to the top floor. The doors opened to reveal the presidential suite, a luxurious expanse of elegance and comfort. The living area was adorned with plush furnishings and floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking views of the city skyline.“This is incredible,” Lindsey murmured, taking it all in.“Only the best for you,” Leander replied with a smile. “Remember, if you need anything at all, just call me, okay?”“Thank you, honey,” Lindsey said, her gratitude evident. “I’ll make sure I’m ready for tomorrow.”With a final, reassuring nod, Leander left the suite, leaving Lindsey to settle in.Outside the hotel, Leander met a billionaire friend, Mr. Whitman, a tall, slender man in a crisp suit who radiated professionalism and authority.They both exchanged greetings and handshakes with cordial smiles. Leander, a bit confused, asked s

    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. Leander and Wyatt, though often consumed by the corporate grind, rarely afforded themselves these moments of unguarded honesty. This was one of those nights.Wyatt l

    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.
