A piece of paper lay on the table, with a pen. Governor Wells leaned back in his chair, looking at Sean with a calculating gaze. "How about we make it an even 50 percent? We want to maintain some control over the company." Sean shook his head firmly. “60% No less!” Governor Borne smiled. “We understand that we need you, Mr Sean. But please reconsider. 60 percent of your shares will take us off the board.” “I am the one with the money,” Sean said and folded his hands as he stared back. “Please!” The Governors chorused. "Okay, I will beat it down to 55 percent, but no less. I need a controlling stake in the company to make the changes I want,” Sean said and unfolded his hands. “What do you say?” Governor Borne raised an eyebrow and whispered to his partner. “We agree,” Governor Borne said and the two offered Sean a ha

Sean opened his eyes, again, he felt like he had been dreaming again. But when he smelt his blood on his body, he knew the parts that were dreams and the parts that were real. He laid recumbent on the forest floor, with his eyes scanning the overhead trees that covered the sky, allowing little of the moon to fall on his face. He stood to his feet and realized that he felt no pain. Then the words of the system he activated came back to his head and remembered that he had been given another shot at life. A beeping sound followed and he saw the screen in his head. ***SYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENT*** ***YOU WILL SHUT DOWN IN THIRTY MINUTES*** After the notice, Sean saw the countdown happened, indicating 29:59. “What is happening? Am I dying?” Sean asked, his heart beating fast. ***NO Sean, YOU'RE NOT DYING. IT'S JUST A NOTICE*** “Are you in my head?” ***YES, EXITING LIKE ANOTHER FRACTION OF YOU, SHOWING YOU THINGS, TELLING YOU THINGS. THIS IS WHERE I CAN DO ALL THAT, ONCE YOU TRANSCEND TO

Dw 3 Caspian rose from his bed, the memories flooded back to him with a startling clarity. He remembered the overwhelming sense of despair that had consumed him, the fleeting thoughts of ending his own life. But he also remembered the exhilaration of freedom that Jason had felt after being released from the confines of his imprisonment. Shaking off the remnants of his dreamlike state, Caspian's mind immediately went to the locker in the bank where he had stashed his money. With a sense of urgency, he made his way to the bank, his heart pounding in his chest. As he entered the code and the locker opened, he couldn't help but feel a surge of relief.

Caspian stood on the porch, the cool night air swirling around him as he mulled over the decision that lay before him. It was the first day of his wedding with Duchess Dillion and he was feeling the heat already. He was faced with the need to decide where he'll place the Duchess particularly with the tantrum that she had thrown to Monica and his daughter. He paced back and forth, the weight of his role as leader of the DiMarco household pressing down on him heavily. He knew that his loyalty to his family and duty as a mafia boss were at odds with the feeling that Duchess Dillion had for him, even though he hadn't been able to figure it out.

Caspian sat in the dining room. It was Monday, the second day of his marriage to Duchess Dillion, a woman he had been forced to care for in a short amount of time. It was also the first day of the week and there was more to handle. As he sipped his wine, lost in thought, he was suddenly interrupted by the sound of soft footsteps. Looking up, he saw his daughter, Sonya, standing in the doorway of her room. He couldn't help but smile at the sight of her, her long dark hair falling in waves around her delicate face. She looked so small and vulnerable in the dim light, and he felt a surge of protectiveness towards her. "Sonya, what are you doing up so late? You should be sleeping now." Caspian asked, reaching out to pick her up and settle her on his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her face in his chest. "I couldn't sleep, Papa," she whispered, her voice barely more than a breath. Caspian felt a pang of guilt at the thought of his daughter lying awake in her bed, no

Ali Ya'az stood on the deck of his favorite ship and smoke cigarette as he looked far and near the waters that surrounded him.The salty sea breeze tousled his hair as he listened to the reports coming in over the phone, through mails and calls.The first call was from one of his men, who informed him of Captain Rodrigo Duterte's lucrative sea deals that could have been potential opportunities for The Ya'az Canopy. Ali's brow furrowed in anger as he listened, his grip on the phone tightening."What do you mean Captain Duterte is making deals worth millions of dollars that could have been ours?"

It seems that someone has been supplying Captain Duterte with information about our potential deals," the man on the other end of the line explained nervously."Are you here reporting him or you want to know what to do about your being lacky?"

The dimly lit alleyway was a hive of activity, with shadowy figures slinking in and out of sight like ghosts. Caspian, clad in a worn leather jacket and jeans with mackintosh boots, moved with calculated precision, his eyes scanning the area for any signs of danger. It was a risky move to go undercover in this dangerous territory, but he knew that in order to dismantle the black market operation that was funding corrupt politicians, he had to get his hands dirty. Infiltrating the seedy underworld had always been a part of Caspian's job as an undercover agent, but this mission felt different. The stakes were higher, the criminals more elusive, and the corruption ran deeper than he had ever imagined. His heart raced as he made his way through the crowd, blending in seamlessly with the unsavory characters that populated the alleyway. As he navigated through the maze of narrow passageways and hidden entrances, Caspian's sharp eyes caught glimpses of illicit activities taking place in

As he sifted through the papers, a feeling of unease washed over him, the weight of the deception heavy on his shoulders. "We trusted each other," one of the politicians, a man named Senator Thompson, said with a mixture of anger and regret. "How could they do this to us?" Caspian looked up at Thompson, his eyes sharp with determination. "There's more to this than meets the eye, Senator. We need to dig deeper." Thompson nodded, his jaw clenched in frustration. "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 details were sparse - nothing but a missing heirloom, a valuable necklace with sentimental value.

Caspian sat in Governor Tuchel's opulent office, eyeball to eyeball. The mahogany desk that separated them. The air was thick with tension as the Governor's piercing gaze bore into him, his expression unreadable. This meeting had been shrouded in secrecy from the start, and Caspian's curiosity burned like a hot coal in his chest, eager to know the Governor's true intentions.

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." Rodrigo's eyes widened, his gaze fixed on Caspian as he recounted the events that had unfolded at the mysterious site. The air around them seemed to crackle with tension, a palpable sense of foreboding settling over the two men. "We had expected to find nothing more than relics and artifacts," Caspian continued, his tone growing somber. "But what we discovered was far more sinister." As they delved deeper into the tomb, they had stumbled upon a hidden chamber, its walls adorned with intricate carvings and shimmering with the faint gleam of gold. But it was not the sigh
