Valeria became John Smith's lover in a short space of two months since his arrival.

Their relationship, however, was kept a secret from public eye as John Smith insisted on anonymity.

Despite being lovers, Valeria still did not know what the man behind the mask looked like.

However, this didn't bother her. She was madly in love with John Smith.

She fantasized about getting married to him with a final revelation of him unmasked.

Madame Aurora, on the other hand, was impatient.

The subject of her hotel project had been brought up to John Smith once or twice.

He had shown his interest, but hadn't taken any form of action yet.

Madame Aurora had her eyes on Star beach.

She spoke with Desmond Dekker and was thrilled to hear he hadn't sold his beach to anyone.

Unknown to Madame Aurora, Desmond Dekker had lied to her under orders from Moses.

    John Smith's days in the Imperial Hotel came to an end. Madame Aurora and the entire MOMO family got together to bid him goodbye. It was a grand affair. They needed to make sure John Smith enjoyed his stay at the Imperial Hotel before he leaves. “I'll surely return,” John Smith promised Madame Aurora. “Once I arrive at my nation, I'll execute the shipment of your gold with immediate effect.”Madame Aurora felt over the moon. “I can hardly wait. We should exchange emails so we can keep in touch.”But John Smith shook his head. “I can't allow that. It's part of my nation's regulations not to exchange contacts with foreigners. However, I'll reach out to you.”Madame Aurora was disappointed. “But how would you do that?”John Smith smirked. “We have our ways, of course. I'll message you the moment my private jet lands.”Madame Aurora grinned. “In that case, I'll wait.”John Smith turned to Valeria, who looked earnestly at him. “John Smith, let me come with you, please,” she pleaded.

    “I hired John Smith to scam the MOMO family.”A grave silence fell in the room as Moses finished dropping the bombshell. Madame Aurora was shaking like a cornered rabbit, her eyes growing wider a trifle. “You mean to tell me you're the one behind everything?” Madame Aurora asked, her voice sounding like metal. “You set me up with John Smith?!”“That's correct,” Moses said, his eyes fixed on her. “The reason the MOMO family is presently going through hell is because of me.”Glenn and Valeria were stricken with shock at this revelation. “You monster!” Glenn yelled, raising his fists. “How could you do this to us?”Moses glared at him. “Watch it, Glenn.

I have also prepared your favourite steam sauna.”“Thank you, Albert,” Moses said, collecting the bottle and pouring the water down his throat.“Your ride is ready,” Albert stated. “I've reserved a seat for you at the Twelve Leaf conference.”“I'll be on my way now,” Moses replied. “But first, I must take that sauna.”Albert nodded his approval as he stared at the muscles on Moses' body. “How impressive, young master. You've developed a fine physique in such a short time.”“Why, thank you, Albert,” Moses grinned at him, then ran up the stairs for his steam bath.Moses hadn't been wasting time while carrying out his revenge on the MOMO family. He had spent months lifting weights at the Dobermans clan's underground gym, and mastering karate and judo.

    “How dare you speak to me like that?!” Barnes hissed, puffing with anger.The paparazzi flashed their cameras at the scene, capturing both Barnes and Moses. Moses' dog growled its fangs threateningly at Barnes, but Moses cautioned it with a warning. “Stay!”Barnes was afraid of the Doberman pinscher, but he tried to act tough. “Better warn your mutt not to bite me, or I'll make you suffer for it.”Moses glared at Barnes. “I don't appreciate being slapped, Barnes. That was totally uncalled-for.”“And so what?” Barnes challenged. “You can't do anything to me.”“I'll give you a warning,” Moses said, his voice hard. “Kneel and apologize to me.”“Such audacity,” Mrs. Harlow came up behind him. “If there's anyone here who needs to kneel and apologize, it's you, Moses.”“That's right,” Barnes grinned. “Bow and apologize for being a miserable piece of garbage.”Moses took out his phone and dialed Genevieve's number.

    “Moses, you did this to me!”“That's what you get for provoking me,” Moses replied darkly. “All your current projects across the twelve cities will be suspended and your properties seized. How do you like that?”Barnes gritted his teeth. “You fiend. How did you do it?”Moses smirked. “I told you, my clan is one of the pillars of the twelve cities. I still have a ton of influence around here.”“Bullshit,” Barnes barked at him. “I'll fight this. I have the best lawyers. I won't lose to you.”“You can't win,” Cleveland said sharply on the other line. “I control the lands and estates across the Twelve cities. You'll only be wasting your money on lawsuits. Give it up.”Barnes was shocked Cleveland was still on the line. Before he could open his mouth to respond to him, the phone went dead. Barnes felt as though the earth had opened to swallow him. “No way, this can't be happening to me.”To everyone's shock, Barnes sank to his knees and pulled at his hair in frustration. The paparazzi

    “Are you sure you want to meet my family?” Gwen asked as she drove through the gates of the Goldstein residence. “Wouldn't it be alright if I call your office?”Moses shook his head. “I insist. I would like to meet your family before we proceed with the contract.”Gwen pulled up before a fifteen-bedroom duplex with a spacious garden, and its own golf course. Moses was pleased with the building. “Does all your family live together in that building?”Gwen nodded. “My late grandfather insists we all reside together as a family under one roof.”“Who's the family's patriarch now?” Moses asked as they walked together towards the door. “My uncle,” Gwen replied. “He's a difficult person. Pay him no attention.”As they arrived at the front door, it swung opened, revealing an angry man. In the blink of an eye, the man reached out and slapped Gwen on the face. “You slut!” The man yelled. “You're bringing a man to the house now?

    “Gwen's not taking that contract from you, Moses,” Richard barked, his face a deeper shade redder than before. “I'm warning you, Moses, stay away from my wife.”“The contract is already hers,” Moses said, his gaze set. “It's her choice to accept or reject it.”“She won't accept your contract because the Goldstein family is strongly opposed to it,” Uncle Harold chimed in. “You're done here, Moses. Get out.”Moses didn't argue. He turned to Gwen. “Gwen, this is your decision to make, not theirs. Take the contract and forge your path.”Uncle Harold slammed his fists on the table.“Gwen, if you dare accept that contract, you'll be disowned from the Goldstein family. I would strip all the connections and privileged under Goldstein constructions from your firm.”Gwen stiffened. Without her family's connection, her firm wouldn't survive long. Richard jumped in, his voice threatening. “And if you choose Moses over me, I'll divorce you. Don't think you can survive on your own without me, Gwen

Cranes could be seen towering over the site, and workers bustling about, laying the groundwork.Moses called for a press conference, inviting journalists from every major news outlet in the city. The event was held in a temporary conference hall near the construction site, and the room was packed with reporters, photographers, and curious onlookers.Moses stepped onto the stage, dressed in a sharp black suit. He stood at the podium and addressed the crowd. “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here today. I’m Floyd Westchester, and I’m here to announce the future of the Imperial Hotel.”He paused, allowing the murmurs of surprise to ripple through the crowd. No one recognized his name, but this was what Moses wanted. Until this project is completed, Mos

  • Claude's Challenge

    Moses was taken aback by Claude’s sudden outburst. The man’s cheerful expression had vanished, replaced by a storm of anger and resentment. Moses raised his hands slightly, trying to defuse the tension. “Whoa, hold on. Why do you say ‘over my dead body’? What’s your issue with the Imperial Hotel?”Claude’s face twisted with bitterness as he leaned forward, his hands gripping the edge of his desk. “Madame Aurora,” he spat the name like it was poison. “She made my life a living hell. I was once an employee at the Imperial Hotel, loyal and dedicated. But no matter how hard I worked, it was never enough for her.” “She belittled me, humiliated me, and treated me like dirt. I vowed to destroy her and everything she stood for. And I did. I built Diamond Fountain Hotel to surpass hers, to crush her legacy. I won’t let her name or her hotel rise again—not as long as I’m alive.”Moses sat in stunned silence, processing Claude’s words. It seemed Madame Aurora’s cruelty had come full circle.

Her death marked the end of an era as the most powerful matriarch across the twelve cities. After the funeral, Valeria approached Moses and Yuri. “Moses, my grandmother left something for you. It’s in the study. Would you come with me?” she asked softly. Moses exchanged a glance with Yuri before nodding. They followed Valeria to a private study on the upper floor of the hotel.

    Moses felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off his shoulder after resolving the royal family conflict. A month after, Benjamin was crowned king at the ripe age of sixteen. Moses settled down in the United Kingdom Of Niklauria and live together with his new family. A week after Benjamin’s coronation, Moses was enjoying his quiet time, surfing on the royal palace's private beach. As he was prepared to ride another round of waves, Yuri approached him.“There’s someone here to see you.”Moses looked up, his brow furrowing. “Who is it? I'm about to ride another wave.”Yuri stepped aside and gestured for the visitor to come forward. A woman stepped forward, her head bowed, and her hands clasped tightly in front of her. Moses’s eyes widened in shock as he instantly recognized her.“Valeria?” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. It was his ex-wife, Valeria, from the Momo family. Moses hadn’t seen her in seventeen years—not since the Momo family disappeared from the twelve

    A soft chuckle escaped Elizabeth’s lips. She leaned back on her throne and regarded Benjamin closely.“Very well,” she said. “I will step down.”Curtis’s head snapped toward her, his jaws dropping. “What!” he exclaimed in shock.Elizabeth sighed, rising gracefully from her throne. “This was my decision from the very beginning, Curtis.” She continued. “When you spiraled out of my control, I sought for Moses’s help. I knew Benjamin would return. I chose him.”Curtis’s face twisted into a mask of fury. “You—You planned this all along?” His voice grew louder. “And you expect me to just step aside for some stranger to take the throne?”“He's your brother,” Elizabeth corrected, her tone sharp. “Your mind has been corrupted by the house of Neptune. You're in no position to become king.”“I don’t care!” Curtis bellowed. “I refuse to accept this! You may have chosen Benjamin, but I have half the kingdom’s military backing me! If you think I’m going to sit back and let some outsider take wh

    "I knew it," Moses whispered under his breath. "You're cut out to be a King." Curtis’s eyes threatened to fall from their sockets as he gaped at Benjamin. His mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water. “Who the hell are you?” Curtis demanded, pointing his fingers at Benjamin in rage. Moses stepped forward, placing a steady hand on Benjamin's back. His voice carried over the stunned crowd, loud and clear. “This is my son, Benjamin, and the rightful heir to the throne of the United Kingdom of Niklauria.” Silence descended in the hallway. Curtis’s face instantly turned crimson as his shock gave way to anger. “What the hell are you talking about?” Curtis roared, pointing an accusing finger at Moses. “I am the rightful heir to the throne! This—this is absurd!” Moses exchanged glances with Benjamin. Then, Benjamin then turned to face Curtis. “We’re twin brothers, Curtis. Fraternal twins,” Benjamin said. Curtis’s eyebrows deepened into a frown. “That’s a lie! I am

    The next day, Curtis entered the grand hall of the Grand Sovereign Museum, where the legendary Crown of Domination was displayed. A red velvet carpet led directly to the centerpiece of the room: a glass pedestal casing that held the crown. Curtis strode confidently toward the display, his noble companion following closely behind. Several other museum visitors stopped to gawk as Curtis’s guards cleared the path for him. The museum curator, a graybeard man in a tailored suit, stepped forward and gave a polite bow.“Your Highness,” the curator began, gesturing toward the crown, “I've been expecting you. I learned you're here for the crown of domination. Would you like me to give you a brief record of the—”Curtis raised a hand, cutting the man off impatiently. “I don’t need the history lesson. I already know its legacy. Just tell me the terms.”The curator cleared his throat. “As you wish, Your Highness. For a fee of $10 million, you are permitted one attempt to wear the crown. But b
