The Rise of Caspian DiMarco - Misery to Mastery. Chapter 1 - Back from prison
Caspian Moore, a 6 ft 5, bearded, muscularly framed and agile man felt a surge of mixed emotions as he walked out of the prison gates.Finally, he was a free man after serving his five-year sentence. A sentence which was filled with covert intentions. He looked back at the gate of the prison and sighed. In the end, against all the odds that stood against him, he was out. When his mind roamed backwards and forward, it settled on the prize, the only thing that had been his hope while serving time, and the only thing that was his hope at the moment. "Now let's go get the bag. Twenty Million Dollars!" he said and smiled.He approached a phone booth, eager to reach out to his friend who promised to be there for him once he was out. The number and his address were still in his diary, something he wrote five years ago. He pressed the number, awaiting a response from the other side only to find that the number was out of existence. He called his wife's number too, but it was the same resp

The lines were linked. He was indeed pronounced dead twice in the prison. The earliest was the month before he was released."Were you waiting for my demise? After all we built? You dare say that to my face?" Caspian asked.Now, the man walked to the bed and sat. Layla folded her hands and now, the remorse that was on her face before got replaced by some callous looks.“What is this man doing in our house?”"Your house?" Layla said and walked back to the bed as she took hold of a towel. "You must have forgotten, all we had was a gift from my father. You have nothing, Caspian, we had nothing of ours before you went to jail.""What are you talking about? My daughter, Sonya, is there in the living room, and you are here…""Shut the fuck up, Cass! You don't know her. She doesn't know you. She's not yours and…""Layla!" Caspian shouted. Layla's voice trembled as she started to recount the events that had transpired in Caspian's absence. Her face tightened in a frown and she spoke, "Caspi
The Rise of Caspian DiMarco - Misery to Mastery. Chapter 3 - Money over roles
Caspian was held tightly through the journey and when they alighted, a chopper was before them and he followed the men into the chopper.The next destination was a mansion and he stood in awe as he was ushered into the sprawling mansion after the exhilarating chopper ride. Me? An owner of a conglomerate? He asked himself. It was the largest and grandest mansion he had ever laid eyes upon. As he glanced at the fleet of luxurious cars parked in the garage, he could tell that they were worth a fortune and a sale of one would change his life forever. Walking alongside him were several men, impeccably dressed in black suits. Each sporting an earpiece while some stood at attention with their hands crossed over their groins.The sight of these well-groomed, earpiece-wearing individuals only added to the air of mystery surrounding the place and Caspian leaned towards the man closest to him and asked, "What is this place?"The man glanced at Caspian and replied, "This is DiMarco's stronghold
The Rise of Caspian DiMarco - Misery to Mastery. Chapter 4 - Becoming the Baron
In the charming town of Wallows Square, Andreas handed Caspian a substantial amount of cash. "Stay safe, Baron.""Don't call me Baron," Caspian said again and Andreas nodded. The sound of the Baron tag felt heavy on him and he would surely avert it if his plans worked. With a confident nod, Andreas swiftly drove away, leaving Caspian to his next move.Within the confines of the car, Andreas addressed Riqui who accompanied him. "Initiate the location tracker in his suit and ensure you stay on him," he commanded, his tone resolute. Riqui immediately changed inconspicuously into baggy jeans and a shirt to shield his identity. He promptly stepped out of the vehicle, ready to execute the orders given to him.Meanwhile, Caspian hailed a passing cab after he looked here and there. He knew that he might be followed. He instructed the driver to head to the illustrious Albert Mansion.As the majestic gates of the mansion loomed before him, Caspian felt a surge of hope. The same twenty million
The Rise of Caspian DiMarco - Misery to Mastery. Chapter 5 - Y'all will regret it
Caspian stood in front of his preserved grandfather's lifeless mummified body and felt a surge of emotions overwhelm him. He could see why he was kept away, it was to be kept safe and somehow he was thankful for that. “I could have been dead,” he thought.Standing before the lifeless body and preparing the burial meant one thing – he had accepted to lead the household, to become the Baron. He wasn't forced into it, he wasn't tricked into it; he had reasons to take the power and wealth that being a Baron had to offer and it was mainly because of his daughter, and to cook vengeance for his enemies as well. Andreas, his loyal right-hand man and cousin stood silently beside him with a map. Caspian took one deep breath before turning to face Andreas."Prepare the burial," Caspian said. "We can't, Baron. I am sorry," Andreas answered. "Why?" Caspian asked. "You have to be announced as the new Baron before we bury the GrandBaron. That's the mode," Andreas answered. "What do I need to
The Rise of Caspian DiMarco - Misery to Mastery. Chapter 6 - First mission as Baron
The next morning, Caspian awoke with tired eyes. He had barely slept, waiting for morning to come so he could get on his vengeance scheme. It was his first day as the Baron of the DiMarco gang and he could feel the weight of the day bearing down upon him.He hit a buzzer beside his bed and in the respite that followed, a gentle knock resonated through the room.Caspian wondered if Andress was waiting for the buzzer as he walked towards the door. He was amazed to see him dressed up already. "Good morning, baron," Andreas greeted, his steady voice breaking the silence. "It's time for your medical checkup."Caspian contemplated for a moment, his mind already racing with thoughts of revenge. He believed that this checkup was an unnecessary delay, an obstacle to his desires.However, Andreas insisted, emphasizing the importance of ensuring Caspian's well-being before he embarked on his dangerous path.Just as Caspian was about to voice his objections, another figure appeared by Andreas'
The Rise of Caspian DiMarco - Misery to Mastery. Chapter 7 - More enemies
Inside the lavish Albert mansion, Andreas, Riqui, and Raquel followed the grand marble staircase, their footsteps echoing through the opulent hallway.They were led by a butler to a set of intricately carved double doors, which swung open to reveal a spacious office adorned with antique furniture and rich tapestries.As they entered, Andreas stepped forward confidently, his voice resonating with authority. "Greetings, Don Albert," he said, extending his hand. "I am Andreas, the trusted mouth of the Baron of the DiMarco Empire. Allow me to introduce my companions - Riqui and Raquel, official heads of the household."Don Albert furrowed his brow and greeted them with a slight nod. He surely had heard about the DiMarco empire as a force to reckon with and with the chance coming to him, it was hard to say no. "Welcome," he responded, motioning for them to take a seat in the plush armchairs under the palm tree, all positioned before his large mahogany desk. "I have heard of the DiMarco Em

Documents, recordings, and witness testimonies painted a damning picture of corruption, deceit, and abuse of power within the highest levels of government. Andreas listened with furrowed brows, his expression grave as he absorbed the weight of the information being presented to him."This is grave, Caspian," Andreas finally spoke, his voice low and measured. "If you confront the President with this evidence, you are putting yourself in great danger. There's no telling how he will react."Caspian nodded, his jaw set with determination. "I understand the risks, Andreas. But the people deserve to know the truth. They deserve justice."Andreas studied Caspian with a mix of concern and admiration. "I have always admired your sense of justice and your unwavering commitment to truth, but this is different, my friend. The President

Case files lay strewn haphazardly across his desk before Caspian and each one representing a puzzle piece in the never-ending game of uncovering the truth. As he meticulously combed through the details of a particularly perplexing case, Caspian's phone rang, jolting him from his focused reverie. Sarah's panicked voice pierced through the receiver, "Have you heard the news? There was an assassination attempt on the President!" A chill ran down Caspian's spine as the gravity of Sarah's words seeped into his consciousness. Without a moment's hesitation, he rose from his chair, the urgency of the situation propelling him into action. Snatching his coat from the back of his chair, he quickly donned it and hurried out of his office, the case files forgotten in his wake. The drive to the presidential residence was a blur of flashing lights and echoing sirens, the tension thick in the air as Caspian's mind raced with the possibilities of what he might encounter upon arrival.

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

Caspian sat at his desk, surrounded by a mound of documents and evidence that painted a grim picture of betrayal among a group of politicians known to be looters. The public had criticized them and they had managed to take out all that pointed fingers at them. The locked people in cells, killed those acted against their wills and also came out publicly to announce that perpetrations will be punished. 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. A wealthy family, the Hawthornes, had reached out to him in a desperate attempt to seek help in recovering their precious family heirloom. Caspian couldn't ignore the pang of empathy that tugged at his heartstrings as he read through the account of the distraught matriarch, Mrs. Hawthorne. He stood up from his worn leather chair, the creak of old wood echoing in the silence of the room. Slipping on his trench coat and adjusting the fedora on his head, Caspian made his way to the Hawthorne estate, a sprawling mansion that exuded a sense of history and tradition. The gravel crunching beneath his feet as he approached the grand double doors, Caspian was met by Mrs. Hawthorne, a regal figure with eyes that held a mixture of sorrow and det

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. Finally, Governor Tuchel spoke, his voice low and authoritative. "Baron Caspian, I do have a proposition for you, Caspian," he began, his words carrying a weight that echoed through the room. "I need someone I can trust implicitly to carry out a mission of utmost importance. A mission that will require cunning, courage, and unwavering dedication." Caspian arched an eyebrow, his interest piqued. The Governor was known for his political acumen and ability to navigate the treacherous waters of power with ease. Whatever task he had in mind must be of great significance, and Caspian knew he was about to be plung

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
