The morning sun cast a golden hue over the estate as Dean adjusted his cufflinks in front of the mirror. Today was meant to be a pivotal moment for Harry, the day he would be introduced to the rest of the Consortium’s members. It was supposed to mark the beginning of a new chapter, a moment of power and recognition.
The members of the consortium would be having the monthly business summit, and this would be the best time to inform them that he had found the heir to the Moxley’s empire, and should anything happen to the patriarch Moxley, he would have a successor to take over everything. But while all of that was going on his mind, the unexpected news reached Dean. The Patriarch of the Moxley Empire was dead. He had died of cardiac arrest. Dean sat down, his mind racing. The news had come in from the doctor who was put in charge to save the Patriarch’s life. The initial report claimed it was a natural death, but Dean wasn’t convinced. He had visited the Patriarch the previous day after he had brought Harry home, and even if he couldn’t get to talk to him because he was asleep, he noticed that the Patriarch was getting better, and it wouldn’t be long before he gets discharged from the hospital. Dean had spent years navigating the Consortium’s corridors of power, and if there was one thing he had learned, it was that nothing ever happened by accident in their world. A man like Moxley, which everyone believed had no successor in place, was worth more dead than alive to certain individuals. As he poured himself a glass of scotch, his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of approaching footsteps. Harry entered the room, adjusting his suit. He was still trying to adjust to this new life of luxury, but Dean could tell he carried himself with a quiet strength, something that had been forged through hardship. “You ready for today?” Dean asked, masking the weight of the news he had just received. Harry nodded. “I suppose. Still wrapping my head around all this.” Dean hesitated for a moment before finally speaking. “There’s something you should know.” Harry frowned. “What is it?” Dean exhaled, his voice steady. “Your grandfather Moxley is dead. I just got the news.” Harry’s expression hardened. He may not have known his grandfather personally, but Moxley’s name had loomed large over the entire Westland—a name that commanded respect. And now, just like that, he was gone. “When did it happen?” Harry asked. “Sometime last night.” Harry ran a hand through his hair. “How?” “The official story will say it was natural causes. But I have my doubts.” Harry’s jaw tightened. “You think someone had him killed?” Dean didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he took another sip of his drink. “I think we need to be very careful about how we proceed. There’s a lot about the Moxley’s Empire and the entire Consortium that is still shrouded in mystery and secrecy especially the death of your father.” There was a knock at the door. One of Dean’s assistants stepped in. “The Consortium members are waiting.” Dean stood, smoothing his jacket. “We’ll have to delay your unvailing for a while, until we know what really happened to your grandfather that had led to his death. If Moxley’s death wasn’t an accident, then someone is already making their move. Until we know who, we say nothing.” Harry nodded, although fear was already building up within him, as he couldn’t help but wonder what it is that he has found himself in. Alone, Dean made his way to the grand hall where the Consortium meeting was being held. The room was filled with the most powerful figures in the country. The members of the Consortium sat around an enormous table, each one representing a dynasty that had shaped the nation’s economy for generations. Dean entered, his presence drawing the attention of everyone in the room. The news had reached every one of them that Moxley was dead, and instead of the usual monthly business summit, they had called the meeting to decide what would happen next regarding the taking over of all that belongs to the Patriarch Moxley. “Ah, Dean,” said Victor Lancaster, the head of the Lancaster family. “We were just discussing what comes next.” Dean took his seat, offering a measured smile. “I assume you’re referring to the transition of power within the Moxley Empire.” Victor nodded. “Of course. The old man has no successor. His empire now belongs to the Consortium, and we must decide who takes his place.” Dean glanced around the room. No grief. No moment of silence. Just hunger. They didn’t care about Moxley. They only cared about what he had left behind. “The Robertson family is next in line,” another member chimed in. “It only makes sense that they take over Moxley’s shares.” Dean nodded, his expression unreadable. “I’ll ensure all legal documents are prepared to make the transition smooth. Once Moxley is laid to rest, the Consortium will proceed accordingly.” A murmur of approval filled the room. No one questioned it. No one cared. As Dean leaned back in his chair, a triumphant smile played on his lips as he couldn’t help but imagine the shock on their faces when he would introduce Harry to all of them as the grandson of the late Moxley. “You guys have no idea what’s about to hit you,” he smiled. William Robertson who was sitting at the far end of the table remained staring at his phone as thoughts of being the heir to the next in line to all that would be transferred to his family following the death of Moxley crossed his mind. Suddenly, a message popped up in his phone and it was from Hailey. “I’m sorry about what happened. I need to see you. Meet me at the Royal Grand Hotel.” William smirked. He hadn’t spoken to Hailey since their last encounter, when Harry had walked in on them. He figured he had so much at stake if what happened between him and Hailey gets out to the public. His only consolation was in the fact that Harry was behind bars and would remain there until Moxley is buried, and the transition is made. Grabbing his coat, he made his way out of the office placing a call to the police to ask about Harry’s condition. “Mr. Harry Parker has been granted bail.” The officer who had picked the call informed him. “What? Who gave the order?”Related Chapters

The drive to the Royal Grand Hotel was anything but smooth for William. His mind was in turmoil, replaying the officer’s words over and over."Mr. Harry Parker has been granted bail."It wasn’t supposed to happen. Harry was meant to rot in that cell until the transition was complete. Yet, someone had pulled him out, and he couldn’t help but wonder who that someone could be.The car pulled up to the hotel entrance. William stepped out, straightening his suit and adjusting his composure. He needed to be in control. Whatever Hailey wanted to discuss, it had better be worth his time.Inside, the receptionist immediately recognized him and gestured toward the elevator. “Miss Riven is expecting you in Suite 907.”William didn’t respond, simply making his way toward the elevator, his mind still racing.The moment he stepped into the suite, Hailey greeted him with a slow, seductive smile. Without a word, she closed the distance between them and pulled him into a deep, lingering kiss.For a mo

The conference room of the Consortium’s private estate was filled with an air of tension. The members of the Consortium—men and women who controlled the wealth and power of Westland—sat around an elongated mahogany table, their expressions unreadable but their minds sharp with speculation.Each of them had received the same message earlier that morning.“The heir to the Moxley Empire is alive.”It was a statement that shook the very foundation of the Consortium—the message that neither of them had seen coming.The old patriarch, Moxley, had always been perceived as the last of his bloodline, after the death of his only son Elijah Moxley years ago. His death meant a free-for-all over his empire, and the Robertson family had already positioned themselves to take control. But now, this message threatened everything.“I think it’s a hoax,” Victor Lancaster finally broke the silence, adjusting his cufflinks. “Someone is playing a dangerous game, and they want us rattled.”“I agree,” Sylvia

Your grandfather understands.” Dean replied as he placed a firm hand on Harry’s shoulder. “Come with me. It’s time you knew everything.”“Everything? What do you mean?” Harry asked surprise

There was a man who owned almost everything in the world and yet, has no one to call family.Just then, a voice rang out beside him. "We're about to close up for the night, sir.
