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
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain My Heart Beats For Him
By the next morning, the Stellarite boardroom was filled with an uncomfortable tension. The usually composed executives exchanged hushed whispers, their eyes occasionally darting toward the door as if expecting something to happen. The rumors had already made their way to the financial media outlets—whispers of Andrew Everest’s supposed reckless expansion causing stockholders to panic, leading to a drop in the company’s value.The door opened, and Andrew Everest walked in, his expression unreadable.He moved with a quiet confidence that seemed to suck the air out of the room. Without a word, he made his way to the head of the table and took his seat.Langley Harper, seated further down the table, tried to maintain his usual composed demeanor. But the sweat on his forehead betrayed him, and his hands clenched around the edge of the table, betraying his anxiety.Elaine Monroe, one of the senior directors, shifted uncomfortably in her seat before clearing her throat. She leaned forward,

Escape From Death
Leon grunted under Andrew’s weight as he hoisted him higher over his shoulder. His body was limp but heavy, like hauling a furnace."Frederick, MOVE!" Leon barked, sprinting through the blasted terrain.The ground was littered with the dead— remains of Pale Division operatives burned to ash or torn apart.Smoke burned Leon’s throat with every breath. Frederick stumbled, dragging Hannah's limp body of the ground. Her hair dragged in the dirt, her clothes torn and soaked in .Taylor’s urgently spoke, "Seismic readings are spiking again! You have two minutes, tops! If you're not out of that blast radius, you’re dead!"Leon cursed under his breath.The jeeps were still a hundred meters away."Go!" Leon snarled, forcing his body to move faster, muscles screaming in protest.Frederick gritted his teeth and forced his battered legs into a sprint, Hannah slung over his back like a rag doll.Gunfire echoed behind them—as they ran."Shit! Some are still alive" Frederick hissed as he turned bac
Dark Puppets
But she didn’t stop. Not when the world was collapsing around her.Leon and Frederick fought like devils, but the more of their men where holding heavy with plasma guns, with the cry of sonic beams shattering rocks around.Two operatives with skin like molten silver flanked Frederick, striking with inhuman speed.Frederick blocked one blow but was caught by the second as he was punched in the stomach as he was sent sprawling into the dirt, coughing blood.Leon shot one in the head—only for his body to keep moving for two more steps before it finally collapsed.Frederick rolled under a stream of blue fire, flanking and snapping the arm of the fire wielder with a vicious elbow strike — only to be blasted back by psychic force.Taylor shouted from the comms: "EMP pulses offline! They're using hybrid tech—supernatural and engineered!"Another squad broke through, energy whips was being manipulated from their gauntlets.Hannah skidded to her knees beside Andrew, trying to lift him.Command

AshBlood Call
Andrew’s hands curled into fists at his sides, nails biting into his palms. The hum of machinery in the medbay felt a thousand miles away, distant and irrelevant against the roaring in his ears.Taylor shifted awkwardly, clearly sensing the crack in Andrew’s usually unshakable composure. Dr. Yuen lowered his eyes back to the monitor, his jaw clenched tight.Andrew swallowed hard. His voice, when it came, was rough with strain.“What do we do?”Yuen hesitated. “I… I don’t know yet. This isn’t something I’ve ever seen. I can keep stabilizing her physically, but the genetic evolution is... accelerating.”Andrew turned sharply toward the small observation window where Hannah lay resting.Pale. Fragile. Unaware of the war raging inside her blood.The child inside her — their child — was feeding on the Ashblood awakening.Growing stronger. Faster.Too fast.If they didn’t find a way to control it…Andrew clenched his jaw. "No. I won't let that happen." *********At the dining table, Andrew

AshBlood
In Iceland, deep within the frozen North, the Vatnajökull glacier cracked apart like a shattered mirror. Great jagged faults split the ice, The sky above churned, thick clouds swirling in unnatural patterns, forming a spiral no meteorologist could explain.Thousands of miles away in India, monsoon rains poured from a clear blue sky, flooding villages not in July, but in early spring.And in Chile, at the base of the old volcanoes near Atacama, molten cracks spiderwebbed across parched ground. The mountains growled, as if waking from millennia of sleep.In each place, small groups gathered. Hidden sects. The descendants of those who had always known this day would come.They knelt on stone floors or in ice caves, chanting in languages the modern world had forgotten. Their words filled the air like smoke, thick with reverence and terror alike.One word repeated across continents, whispered by many mouths:"Ashblood..."The Return of the Ashblood had begun.Inside the the safe house in S
World Transformation
The television buzzed softly in the dimly lit room, as Hannah’s was resting on the med bed, thin blankets pulled around her, one hand absentmindedly resting on her stomach. Her other hand held the small remote loosely. Her body still weak, but her mind sharp.The news anchor’s voice could be heard,“We warn our viewers, what you are about to see contains graphic imagery. Viewer discretion is advised.” The broadcast switched to shaky, handheld footage.Smoke.Screams.The camera jerked wildly as someone sprinted across a downtown street — others running behind him, scattering like ants."They're burning alive!" a woman shrieked off-camera.The footage cut to a clearer angle. A man stood in the middle of a parking lot, convulsing violently. His body shimmered as if his skin couldn't contain him.Then —with a horrible, wet pop — flames erupted from his chest, swallowing him and the nearby cars.He staggered backward, mouth open in a silent scream as his body burned from within."Help me!
The Baby's Not Human
Hannah stood just a few feet away from Andrew, wearing a dark hoodie and loose pants, her hair pulled back. Her face was pale, framed by exhaustion and the remnants of too many sleepless nights.She had purposely walked back and forth past the metal bench where Andrew was sitting, but he didn’t acknowledge her.After what seemed like the fifth pass, she was fed up with his silence and walked up to him.“You’ve been sitting out here since morning.”“Where else should I be?" Andrew said quietly.She exhaled, arms tightening across her chest. “You could’ve come to me.”His voice cracked. “I didn’t think I had the right.”She blinked. The silence stretched long between them. Then she stepped forward and sat beside him.“I hated you,” she admitted. “Not for leaving. For letting me believe you stopped caring.”“I never stopped.”Her head turned slightly toward him. “You were protecting me. Even when you were gone. Weren’t you?”Andrew nodded once. “I didn’t know what they’d do. I just knew
