The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain I'm The Real CEO
The Next Morning... Sunlight filtered through the window blinds, casting soft rays across the room. Andrew sat on the couch, fully dressed, his expression unreadable. His mind was already spinning with plans, but first, he needed answers. Taylor walked into the living room, stretching lazily. "Man, I haven’t slept this good in a while," he muttered, rubbing his eyes. Andrew barely looked at him. "Taylor, I need you to run a deep dive on Nelson Telsa. Find out everything about his financial downfall." Taylor blinked, then scowled. "Whoa, whoa. Hold up, Andrew. Since when did I become your personal investigator? You do realize I charge for this, right?" Fredrick, sipping his coffee, snorted loudly. He turned to Taylor with an amused smirk. "Yeah, sure. Just make sure to remind him that he was a billionaire." Leon nearly choked on his drink as both he and Fredrick burst into laughter. Andrew exhaled sharply, shaking his head. "Fine. I know I’m broke right now, but let’s get s
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Power Tussle
The manager’s face was pale white, his hands trembling as he took a hesitant step forward. His expensive suit now looked pathetic, his earlier arrogance completely shattered.“Mr. Everest,” he stammered, his voice shaking. “I—I didn’t know… Please, forgive me. I made a mistake.”Andrew’s sharp gaze pinned him in place, his icy stare devoid of emotion.The manager suddenly dropped to his knees.“Sir, I beg you! I was ignorant! Please, give me another chance!”The security guards, who had tried to manhandle him earlier, exchanged terrified glances before following suit, dropping to their knees as well.Andrew exhaled through his nose, unimpressed.“Tell me,” he said coolly, tilting his head. “When you insulted me, when you tried to throw me out of my own company—did you consider your actions to be a mistake then?”The manager’s throat bobbed, sweat dripping down his temple.“I—I was wrong, sir! It was a misunderstanding—”Andrew raised a hand, silencing him.“I don’t tolerate incompeten
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Meeting Gone Wrong
The boardroom remained silent, the influential figures around the long, polished table exchanged glances. Andrew sat calmly, arms crossed, an amused smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.One of the older board members, Mr. Caldwell, cleared his throat and finally spoke.“Given Mr. Everest’s… history, I propose a vote.” He looked around the table. “It’s in the best interest of the company that we determine who should remain at the helm—Miriam, who has led Stellarite Resources to unprecedented growth, or Andrew Everest, who—”He didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.Miriam looked hesitant, her fingers tightening around the back of the chair she was standing beside.One by one, the hands of the board members began to rise.“All in favor of keeping Miriam as CEO?”Slowly, nearly every hand in the room went up.Andrew didn’t react. He simply watched, his expression unreadable.Miriam turned toward him, her face filled with false reluctance. “Andrew… you see, the board h
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Love Rivalry
Miriam stood frozen, as the realization of her defeat settled in. The other board members sat rigidly, their eyes darting between Andrew and the large screen displaying the contract clause that had sealed Miriam’s fate.Andrew’s smirk deepened as he turned toward the security team standing at the entrance. The guards were still trying to process the sudden shift in power.“Take her out,” Andrew ordered, his voice cold.The security guards hesitated for a second before stepping forward.Miriam’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You… You can’t do this!” she sputtered. “I built this company in your absence!”Andrew raised an eyebrow. “Oh? And yet, it’s still mine.”Miriam shook her head frantically. “You need me, Andrew. You need my experience, my connections—”Andrew sighed dramatically. “You mistake convenience for necessity. I don’t need someone who betrays me at the first opportunity.”The guards grabbed Miriam’s arms, pulling her away from the chair she had so desperately wanted to sit i
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Trying My Luck
Andrew sat near the window in a Café cups against saucers. His gaze was fixed on the Blackwood Enterprises building across the street.He took a slow sip of his coffee, letting the warmth settle in his chest.Then, he smirked to himself. "I know that look," he thought, remembering the way Ryan Westwood had placed his hand on Hannah’s back, the way he had stood between them as if he owned her.Andrew’s grip on his cup tightened. He wasn’t a fool. Ryan was interested in her.And Hannah… she didn’t have clue that they were in a relationship before. A bitter chuckle escaped his lips as he squeezed the disposable coffee cup, almost crushing it."So that’s how it is?" he thought.His smirk faded, replaced by a hardened expression."Fine. Game on."He stood abruptly, tossing the cup into the trash before walking out.**********Andrew was in the closet if the office he went straight for the wardrobe.If he was going to do this, he needed to look the part.After two years of exile, prison, an
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Death Threat
Andrew sat in his car, parked a safe distance away from the company’s exit. He leaned back against the leather seat, casually flipping a pen between his fingers as he watched the building's glass doors.Hannah walked out, her hair swaying gently with each step. Andrew's sharp eyes immediately caught her subtle smile as she turned to Ryan, who walked beside her.His grip on the pen tightened. So, they’re leaving together again.Ryan opened the passenger door of his black car, motioning for Hannah to enter. She hesitated for a moment before nodding and getting in.Andrew sighed, a smirk tugging at his lips. Predictable.He started his own car, letting them drive ahead before smoothly pulling onto the road behind them. He wasn’t sure why he was doing this—maybe curiosity, maybe jealousy, or maybe… something deeper.But something about Ryan didn’t sit right with him.************The drive stretched on longer than Andrew expected. They weren’t heading toward Hannah’s house. Instead, the r
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Power Makes One Do Anything
Andrew gripped the steering wheel tightly as he drove through the streets of Lantana City. His body ached from the fight, blood staining his once-pristine white shirt. The adrenaline had worn off, and now the sharp pain of his wounds was creeping in.Beside him, Hannah sat in the passenger seat, her arms folded as she kept glancing at him. Her face was filled with concern, her brows furrowed."You sure you're okay?" she asked softly.Andrew smirked, keeping his eyes on the road. "I’ve had worse."Hannah sighed. "That doesn’t answer my question, Andrew."He chuckled, but the movement sent a jolt of pain through his ribs. "I’ll be fine. Just a few bruises."She hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "Can I have your number?"Andrew’s fingers tensed slightly on the wheel. He reached for his phone, unlocked it, and handed it to her."Go ahead."Hannah took the phone, quickly saving his contact. But as she typed in his number, a strange expression crossed her face.Her heart skipped
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Mole Exposed
Andrew walked into Stellarite Tower with calculated precision, his footsteps echoing through the marble halls. Seated in his office, he leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping against the polished oak desk. He had spent the morning reviewing Stellarite’s financial ledgers—but something didn’t add up.Unusual discrepancies. Unapproved wire transfers. A slow bleed of company assets.Andrew frowned. Miriam might have been power-hungry, but she wasn’t reckless. If Stellarite was taking out resources, someone else was responsible.“Taylor,” Andrew’s said as he reached for his intercomWithin seconds, Taylor entered, a laptop was in hand. “Already ahead of you, boss,” he said, dropping into the seat opposite Andrew.“Tell me.”Taylor spun his laptop around, revealing a list of suspicious activity logs. “Whoever’s leaking information is smart. They’ve been careful—small transactions, hidden under minor acquisitions. But I traced the pattern. There’s a mole, and he’s working directly

KAIROS ACCESS 6B
Liu's penthouse was unusually quiet. Andrew stepped out of the elevator onto the top floor of Liu’s tower, his footsteps muffled against the marble. He turned into a narrow corridor and approached a blank wall panel concealed behind a decorative wood carving. He pressed his palm against the biometric scanner. A soft beep, He stepped inside. It was the surveillance room, on the main display, six monitors cycled silently through camera angles—each one a different section of the penthouse.He tapped a command key, isolating the feed from the lounge.There she was Hannah, she was curled up on the far couch, wrapped in a soft gray blanket. A cup of tea rested untouched on the table beside her. She looked tired. Andrew watched her in silence, she shifted slightly, pushing the blanket off her legs. As she stood, her hand moved instinctively over her lower stomach.He stared as she walked to the kitchen and opened a cabinet, and retrieved a small pill bottle. Two tablets into her palm. A
I Feel Like We Have Met Before
Fredrick leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, eyes narrowing as he tried to process the storm that had just hit the room.“Wait,” he finally said. “You’re saying Hannah’s in Liu’s penthouse?”Andrew gave a stiff nod.“And she’s pregnant?”“Yes.”Taylor was pacing now. “This... This changes everything.”Leon looked between them. “Does she know who you are? That you’re there?”Andrew shook his head. “She didn’t recognize me. Not with this face.”“What are you going to do?”Andrew walked slowly to the window and looked out. The Shanghai skyline shimmered beneath the late afternoon haze, the buildings casting long shadows across the streets.“I don’t know,” he said finally. “I don’t know what I can do.”He turned to face them.“If I go near her, I put her at risk. If Liu finds out I knew her before, everything falls apart—my cover, the summit plan, all of it. He’d use her. Or worse.”Leon leaned forward. “But she’s in his house. That’s already a risk.”“I know,” Andrew said, jaw tight.
She Is Carrying My Child!
The next morning Mei had already left for the hospital and Andrew was going to check if Liu was there as usual stepped out of the elevator onto the residential floor, his mind still clouded with the previous night’s meeting. He walked toward the hallway that curved past the sitting room, heading for the guest wing where Mei had once mentioned her private library. He figured it would be empty, and he could think in peace.He didn’t expect to see anyone. But as he turned the corner, someone walked straight into him and it was Hannah.She stumbled slightly, bumping against his chest. He instinctively caught her, hands gripping her arms to steady her, he saw her...it was really her.The soft curve of her jaw. The subtle scar near her left eyebrow. The way her lashes fluttered when she looked up at him in surprise.His breath vanished from his chest, she didn’t recognize him.“Sorry,” she said softly, stepping back. “I wasn’t paying attention.”Andrew couldn’t speak. His throat locked up.
Full Time Liars
The elevator slid down as Andrew stood beside Liu, hands clasped loosely in front of him. He could still hear Mei’s voice in his head: Her name is Hannah.Liu, for his part, looked strangely amused. He glanced at his reflection in the mirrored elevator doors and smirked.“My wife thinks I’m too harsh with people,” he said suddenly.Andrew looked over, silent. “She says it’s why I lose sleep. That maybe I would rest better if I let one or two people in.”He turned to Andrew with a raised brow. “You think she’s right?”Andrew thought carefully before answering. “You rest better when you don’t have to look over your shoulder.”Liu laughed—sharp and real. “See, this is why I like you, Li. You don’t flatter me. You survive me.”They finally stepped out into a private executive suite on the 52nd floor—one of Liu’s secured business floors, far removed from the family residence above. Two guards stood at the ends of the hallway. Taylor was already there as he had already come ahead of time a
Almost
The elevator ascended through Liu’s residential tower. Andrew stood alone, dressed in black from collar to cuff, shoulders square, eyes steady. The city below shimmered through tinted glass—clean, mechanical, heartless. Like the man he was walking toward.He had received the message less than twenty minutes ago:“Come to the residence. We need to talk.”When the elevator doors opened with, Andrew stepped out into the private hallway of Liu’s upper penthouse. It was like walking into another world—warm lighting, mahogany walls, soft classical music drifting from somewhere he couldn’t see. For a place built by a man with blood on his hands, it smelled like jasmine and eucalyptus.He turned the corner and almost bumped into someone.“Oh—Li!” a familiar voice called brightly. “I was hoping to catch you.”Andrew stopped mid-stride and softened. “Mama Mei.”Meilin Zhen—Liu’s wife—stood by a corner cabinet, placing a vase of fresh peonies into place. Dressed simply in a white blouse and bla
Antenatal; I Love You Like A Daughter
The rain that fell heavily at night had stopped by morning. Hannah stepped out of the hostel with a scarf wrapped tightly around her head.The coins in her pocket jingled softly with every step—her entire week’s worth of tips, spare change, and what remained from her last cleaning job.Just enough, she clutched the folded leaflet from the shelter in her other hand. It listed public hospitals that offered prenatal services in the city, and one of them, Red River Women’s Clinic, was circled in blue pen."Just get there....Just register.....Just try." They was crowded, too loud, too fast. By the time she arrived at the hospital’s main lobby, her palms were slick with sweat. She looked up at the signs—mostly Mandarin, with some awkward English translations beneath them—and approached the front desk where two nurses in white uniforms were checking papers from a young couple.When it was her turn, she stepped forward hesitantly.“Hello... I, um... I want to register... antenatal care,” she
My Inner Man
The elevator ascended through the tower. Andrew stood alone in the glass capsule, as he could see himself in the mirrored wall as he moved Forty floors beneath him, Shanghai.But here, on the way to the seventy-second floor, everything was muted. He adjusted the cuffs of his jacket and ran through the pitch in his head again. There were no second chances with Liu. A single misplaced word could tear everything apart. Still, Andrew's face was calm, unreadable. As the elevator slid to a stop with a soft chime, the reinforced doors opened into a private vestibule guarded by two men in black suits. Neither spoke. One waved a biometric scanner in front of Andrew’s eye. It beeped once.“You may enter,” the other said.Andrew stepped through the glass security gate into Liu’s sanctuary.The penthouse office stretched out like a blade—clean angles, matte black walls, a white marble floor that absorbed the sunlight pouring through windows.In the distance, the Huangpu River glinted like merc
My Guys Always Have My Back
Monitors lined the walls of where Taylor, Fredrick and Leon resided. Each was streaming security feeds, decrypted chatter, and scrambled comm logs. Taylor sat before them, expression locked in concentration.The fact that Taylor, fredrick and Leon not being arrested was a bit strange, despite the fact they were involved. To the public, it looked like an airtight case: millions rerouted through dummy accounts, data trails forged, and Taylor’s login credentials stamped across the audit logs.But inside the network, those who mattered knew the truth: Andrew had been framed.Taylor, Fredrick and Leon, weren’t charged—not because they were innocent, but because they were smart. They didn’t run. They didn’t hide. They stood still and watched the flames burn around them.They knew the moment they disappeared, it would confirm guilt. Instead, they played it slow—publicly cooperative, legally protected, and always one step ahead of the full investigation.The firm’s real players—those who orch
The Universe Wants Us Together
The next morning, sunlight bled through the broken blinds of Hannah’s cramped room. Her stomach cramped from hunger, and the ache in her back reminded her how little comfort she’d gotten from the stained mattress.She sat up slowly, holding her belly. “Okay,” she whispered, brushing a strand of hair out of her face. “No more crying. You need to work, Hannah. You need to survive.”She splashed cold water on her face from the rusty sink in the corner, changed into her cleanest shirt, and stepped outside into the city’s chaos.By mid-morning, she’d walked into six different shops asking the same thing:“Do you need help? I can clean, I can serve tables, anything—just for cash.”Most turned her away before she finished her sentence. A few didn’t even look at her.She stood outside a noodle bar for ten minutes watching the staff through the window. Finally, she mustered the courage and walked in.A stout, middle-aged man glanced at her with a scowl.“You speak Mandarin?” he barked.“Yes, I
