Alpha, the leader of the Suiz mafia gang, sat on a large leather chair, flanked by two scantily clad women who quickly disappeared at his command. He had an air of power and authority about him, his gaze sharp as he looked at the newcomers.“So why are you here?” Alpha asked.“We want to trample on the DiMarco household,” Don Albert answered.“DiMarco you say,” Alpha exclaimed and then chucked. “Do you

As Caspian and Andreas entered the hall, Caspian was immediately struck with awe at the opulence and grandeur of the place.

Monica, her father’s assistant, sat beside her, helping her with her work.She had been assigned by Caspian to creep into the little girls head and heart, see what her day in school was life to check for any signs of intrusion as it was a world that Caspian knew would not be safe for his daughter.Also, since Lalya had visited, Caspian had been worried that Sonya’s heart might be won over so that she would prefer the company of her mother.Monica asked Sonya, “So, how was school today, Sonya?”Sonya looked up with a smile and replied, “It was good!

She tells us stories about her advent

In the van as they went towards the address that Duchess Dillion had sent, Caspian was reminded of something he had wanted to ask and he felt it was the best time to do so. “Andreas, you remember the grand baron and his jibes yesterday?” Caspian asked and Andreas nodded.“Yes, baron.”“That part seemed to be out of the dossier. What happened back then?”?“It was during the time of your grandfather’s reign, Caspian. The Dimarco empire was flourishing, and we had forged a partnership with the Ya’az tribe, a powerful group who controlled valuable resources in the eastern territories. We saw potential for mutual benefit and worked together on several successful ventures.”Caspian listened intently, his curiosity piqued. “What kind of ventures did you work on together?” he asked.Andreas smiled sadly, “We traded goods, shared information, and even fought side by side in battles against common enemies. The bond between our peoples seemed unbreakable.”“Why did it fall apart then?” Caspian

"I never thought I'd see the day when my own colleagues would stab me in the back." As Caspian delved into the intricate

The scent of old books and faint traces of cigar smoke filled Caspian's office as he sorted through his latest case file that the governor gave him.

The dusty road that laid ahead stretched out before them, the wheels of their vehicle kicking up clouds of swirling sand in their wake. Caspian leaned back in his seat, the weight of their recent discovery weighing heavily on his mind. "So, finally, there we were," Caspian began in a voice low and intense. "At the Tomb of Gold, surrounded by ancient ruins and the lingering whispers of a forgotten civilization."
