The Goldstein Retribution Saga Chapter 228
The night started with a casual walk through the streets of the coastal city, just before they reached the restaurant with the aquarium. Leander and Brianna strolled side by side, the breeze cool against their skin. The city lights sparkled along the waterfront, casting reflections over the calm sea. "Do you always have surprises planned, or is today special?" Brianna asked teasingly as they walked, her hands tucked into the sleeves of her light jacket. Leander grinned, adjusting his pace to stay in step with her. "Today is special, but I wanted to keep things simple at first." Brianna raised an eyebrow. "Simple, huh? You’re taking me to a fancy restaurant by the sea with dolphins swimming around. I don’t think you know what simple means." Leander chuckled. "Okay, you got me. But it’s all for a good reason." They made small talk as they walked past street vendors and musicians playing soft tunes for the evening crowd. Brianna seemed relaxed, her usual elegance showing in the

"Leander, you think you’re so much better now, don’t you?” Camila said, folding her arms as she leaned against the edge of the table. Her sharp eyes were locked on him, and her boyfriend, Rex, stood beside her with a smug expression. Leander tilted his head slightly, a small smile playing on his lips. “I don’t *think* I’m better. I just know I’ve worked hard to get here.” His tone was calm, deliberate. They were standing at an exclusive rooftop lounge, the perfect spot for the wealthy to mingle and flaunt their influence. The golden light from the setting sun made Camila’s features glow, but there was irritation on her face, hidden beneath a forced smile. Rex, dressed in a sharp, expensive suit, looked Leander up and down. “It’s funny seeing you like this. Back in the day, Camila told me you wouldn’t amount to much. Guess she wasn’t entirely wrong. I hear your position in the Goldstein family is still being questioned.” Leander’s smile didn’t falter, but his eyes grew sharper.

Leander picked the call and pressed the phone to his ear. “Dorian, what now?” His voice was clipped, irritation creeping in from the disruption. On the other end, there was a pause, followed by a heavy sigh that told Leander whatever Dorian was about to say wouldn’t sit well with him.“You’re not gonna like this,” Dorian finally muttered.Leander leaned against the bar, motioning for a whiskey neat. “I already don’t. Just spit it out.”Dorian’s voice dropped into a solemn tone. “It’s about Camila.”Leander stiffened, his jaw clenching. He’d already endured enough of Camila’s mind games tonight, and the thought of her entangling him in another problem made his head ache. “What about her?”“She betrayed me.” The words came bluntly, as if Dorian was struggling to keep his frustration in check. “Everything we built, every agreement—she’s been feeding our competitors information. My private dealings. My investments.”Leander’s fingers tightened around the phone, his drink arriving just in

The Goldstein Retribution Saga Chapter 232: A leverage
Leander stared at his phone, knowing Dorian’s request wasn’t going to be as simple as calling Yvonne. The line went silent after their last exchange, but the weight of the conversation lingered. His gut told him Dorian wouldn’t reach out unless there was something big involved—something more than just apologies and regrets. His phone buzzed again, and Leander glanced at the screen. Another message from Dorian, “I need to meet you. It’s important.”Leander sighed. With a reluctant shake of his head, he texted back, “Where?”Dorian’s reply was quick. “My place. 30 minutes.”---Thirty minutes later, Leander pulled up in front of Dorian’s penthouse, the skyline glittering in the background. He hated getting dragged into situations like this, but curiosity and the nagging feeling of unfinished business kept him moving forward. Dorian opened the door before Leander could knock, greeting him with an uneasy smile. “Come in. We’ve got a lot to talk about.”Leander stepped inside, the fami
The Goldstein Retribution Saga Chapter 233: Rex and Dorian's alliance
As Leander pushed open the door to leave Dorian’s penthouse, his phone buzzed again. He knew who it was without even looking. He sighed, debating whether to pick up or let it ring out. After a second, irritation won, and he swiped the screen. “Leander,” Dorian’s voice was smooth, but there was a slight edge to it. “You’re walking away from the deal too quickly. You’ll regret it.” Leander chuckled bitterly, already halfway down the hall. “Do you think I’m stupid, Dorian? You were setting me up from the start.” Dorian’s silence on the other end gave Leander all the confirmation he needed. “You thought I wouldn’t figure it out, huh?” Leander said, lowering his voice. “I pull the job, get the money, and the moment the Sullivans start sniffing around, you throw me under the bus. Tell them it was my idea. That I was the mastermind.” “That’s not—” Dorian started, but Leander cut him off. “Save it. I know exactly how this works. You keep your hands clean, and I take the fall. Smar
The Goldstein Retribution Saga Chapter 234: Leander thanked Brianna
Leander and Brianna sat side by side on the sofa, hands still intertwined, as they pieced together their plan. The air between them felt lighter now, not just because of the kiss but because they knew they had a path forward. Whatever Rex and Dorian were scheming, they wouldn’t go down without a fight.“We’ll need to time this perfectly,” Brianna said, her fingers gently tapping against Leander’s knuckles. “If we expose Rex and Dorian too early, they’ll wriggle out of it, and we’ll be the ones left in the fire.” Leander nodded, his mind sharpening with focus. “Yeah. We wait until they start their operation—whatever scam they’re running. That’s when we make our move. If we hit them mid-action, it’ll be harder for them to cover their tracks.” “And that’s when we go to the Sullivans,” Brianna added, her eyes narrowing in thought. “With enough evidence, they won’t be able to ignore us.” Leander tilted his head, considering the dangers. “What if Dorian figures out what we’re doing? O
The Goldstein Retribution Saga Chapter 235
The day arrived faster than Leander or Brianna had expected. Word reached them that Rex and Dorian were putting their plan into motion—a high-stakes financial scheme to siphon funds from the Sullivans through a series of fraudulent business deals. It was now or never. Leander and Brianna had already prepared their evidence, aligning everything perfectly to alert the Sullivans just as the scam unfolded. All that remained was to watch it collapse. Leander stood by the large windows in Brianna’s living room, phone in hand, as they waited for confirmation from the Sullivans’ security team. Brianna, sitting on the couch, looked calm but alert, her sharp mind processing every possible scenario. “Do you think they’ll try to run?” Brianna asked, crossing her legs and resting her chin on her hand. “They won’t have a choice,” Leander replied, checking the time. “Once the Sullivans confront them, flight will be their only option.” The room fell into silence for a few moments, the weight

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. Only the most elite found themselves vacationing here, and Leander and Brianna fit that bill perfectly.---The villa was a marvel of modern architecture, perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean.

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.
