The Goldstein Retribution Saga Chapter 209: Leander and Yvonne
Leander approached Yvonne quietly as she stood by the window. Without a word, he gently placed his hands on her waist. Yvonne stiffened at the touch, her breath catching as she felt the warmth of his hands. “Leander...” she muttered, her voice low and breathy. She didn’t move away, but her posture was rigid. After a pause, she added, “You know, if Dorian saw this, he’d have a heart attack.” Leander chuckled softly, removing his hands from her waist, sensing the tension. “He’s not here, Yvonne.” She turned slowly to face him, her eyes locking with his. There was a flicker of something in her gaze—playful, sarcastic, yet serious all at once. “Oh, I’m sure. But you think this is smart? Playing with fire? You’re the one who said I didn’t owe Dorian anything, right?” Leander stepped back, his hands raised in mock surrender, though a smile played on his lips. “I’m not playing with fire. But if you want me to back off, just say the word.” Yvonne tilted her head, crossing her arms. “Back
The Goldstein Retribution Saga Chapter 210
Leander sat comfortably in the plush leather chair of Wyatt Crowley’s office, his mind half-focused on the papers laid out in front of him. Wyatt, one of Leander's closest friends and business partners, sat across the desk, tapping his pen thoughtfully as they discussed an upcoming investment opportunity. "This deal is going to set us up nicely, Leander," Wyatt said, flipping through a few more pages. "If we move now, we’ll secure the best contracts before anyone else." Leander nodded, his gaze drifting toward the tall windows behind Wyatt, where the city skyline stretched into the distance. "I agree. Timing is everything. Let’s move forward." Just as Wyatt was about to respond, Leander's phone buzzed loudly on the desk, breaking the focus. He glanced at the screen and saw Dorian's name flashing. His brow furrowed slightly. It wasn’t unusual for Dorian to call, but something about the timing felt off. "Give me a minute," Leander said to Wyatt, picking up the phone. He stood and wal
The Goldstein Retribution Saga Chapter 211
Leander sat at a corner table in a quiet, upscale restaurant, enjoying a rare moment of peace. He was halfway through his drink when he noticed a group of men approaching him, their expressions tense. He recognized them immediately—Dorian’s friends. They stopped in front of his table, and one of them, a tall man with a sharp jawline named Marcus, stepped forward. His arms were crossed, and his eyes were hard as he glared at Leander. “We need to talk.” Leander raised an eyebrow, setting his glass down. “About?” Marcus leaned in slightly, his voice low but laced with anger. “About what you did. We know what’s going on between you and Dorian’s wife.” Leander’s eyes narrowed, his calm demeanor hardening. “Yvonne? There’s nothing going on between us.” Another one of Dorian’s friends, Liam, a shorter man with a stocky build, stepped forward, shaking his head. “Don’t lie to us, Leander. Dorian told us everything. You’ve been sneaking around with her behind his back.” Leander’s patience
The Goldstein Retribution Saga Chapter 212: Dorian renders apology to Leander
While Leander sat in his office, tapping his fingers lightly on the desk, his mind was focused on running over the events of the past few days. Yet, Dorian had pushed him too far. The constant accusations, the lies, and the betrayal had worn thin. It was time to settle things once and for all. He knew Dorian was a man full of pride, and Leander was determined to shatter that today.The door creaked open, and his assistant poked her head in. “Mr. Goldstein, Dorian’s here. Should I send him in?”Leander nodded, keeping his expression calm. “Let him in.”Dorian walked in with a stiff posture, his face trying to hide the tension, but it was clear in the way his jaw tightened and his eyes flickered around the room, avoiding Leander’s direct gaze. He sat down across from Leander, trying to look composed, but his shoulders were tense."You wanted to see me?" Dorian asked, his voice lacking its usual confidence.Leander leaned forward, locking eyes with Dorian. "Yes. We need to clear the air
The Goldstein Retribution Saga Chapter 213: Private Island
A few days later, Leander decided to go on a first tour to his private island and decided to take Yvonne and his assistant Elaine along with him.They first reached the private dock where Leander stood at the edge, gazing out at the shimmering waters ahead. His assistant, Elaine, stood beside him, checking her tablet and coordinating with the crew. Yvonne, dressed in a light summer dress, leaned over the rail, her eyes wide with excitement.The boat rocked gently as it prepared to depart for the island Leander had been gifted by the Carnegie family some time ago. It wasn’t just any island—it was a private getaway, untouched and hidden from the world. Leander had been waiting for the right moment to visit, and today felt like the perfect day to show Yvonne its beauty. Elaine had suggested that the trip would be smooth, and Leander trusted her to handle all the details.“Are you excited?” Leander asked Yvonne, turning toward her with a small smile.Yvonne nodded eagerly, her eyes sparkl
The Goldstein Retribution Saga Chapter 214: Leander & Yvonne at Gala
Leander drove in silence, his hands steady on the wheel, the hum of the engine the only sound filling the air between him and Yvonne. Yvonne sat quietly in the passenger seat, her arms crossed loosely, looking out the window. The earlier excitement from the island had faded, replaced by a quiet tension that Leander could feel but didn’t address. After a while, Yvonne turned toward him, breaking the silence. “Leander, I’ve been thinking.” Her voice was soft but carried an edge of uncertainty.Leander glanced at her briefly before focusing back on the road. “About what?”She hesitated, clearly trying to gather her thoughts. “About today. About the island, everything. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it was amazing, but…” She paused, searching for the right words. “Why did you take me there?”Leander didn’t respond immediately, the question hanging in the air between them. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, not out of anger, but because he knew Yvonne would eventually ask. It wasn
The Goldstein Retribution Saga Chapter 215: An attack on Leander's Legacy
Leander sat in his office, the tension in the air almost palpable as he went through a stack of papers on his desk. His assistant, Elaine, hovered nearby, her expression grim. The latest news had hit him like a hammer to the chest. It wasn’t just any kind of rumor circulating in the media. No, this was a full-scale attack on his identity, his heritage, and most importantly, his claim to the Goldstein fortune. “They're saying you're not Daxton Goldstein's son,” Elaine said quietly, glancing up from her tablet. “The media is running wild with it.”Leander clenched his fists, feeling the rage simmer just beneath the surface. “I know what they’re saying. I just don’t understand how something like this could come up now. After all these years...”Elaine shifted uncomfortably. “It's not just random, Leander. These kinds of accusations don't come out of nowhere.”Leander's eyes darkened. “You’re right. Someone’s pulling the strings behind this.”Elaine looked at him cautiously. “You think D
The Goldstein Retribution Saga Chapter 216: An attack on Leander's Legacy II
Leander clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. The weight of everything seemed to press down on him—the investigation, the rumors, the doubt creeping into his own inner circle. It was suffocating, but he couldn’t let himself break. Not now. Not ever. He handed the tablet back to Elaine, his expression hardening.“Get the legal team in here now,” Leander ordered, his voice sharp.Elaine hesitated for a moment before nodding and quickly stepping out of the room. Leander’s eyes drifted to the city skyline outside his office window. How had things spiraled so far out of control? Everything he had worked for was hanging in the balance because of a few forged documents and an orchestrated attack by someone desperate enough to see him fall.As the minutes passed, Leander remained motionless, his mind racing with possibilities. If Dorian thought he could win this, he had clearly underestimated Leander’s resolve. There was no way he would lose his legacy without a fight.

Leander stretched his legs as the private jet descended toward the coastal paradise of Montevia. The turquoise waters sparkled below, and lush green islands dotted the horizon like emeralds in the ocean. Beside him, Brianna leaned back in her seat, her sunglasses perched atop her golden hair, radiating effortless elegance."This was overdue," she said, her voice soft yet teasing.Leander turned to her with a smile. "Blame the whirlwind of deals, auctions, and diplomatic dinners. But now, I’m all yours."The jet landed smoothly, and they were greeted on the tarmac by a motorcade of luxury SUVs. Montevia was known for its breathtaking landscapes and exclusivity—this wasn’t a place for casual tourists.

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.
