The interior decorations and ornamental lights glistened throughout the Rogers family mansion. Heavy hitters swarmed the house for a chance at fame and to show off their exquisite gifts. Today was the birthday of the Rogers clan's lone patriarch, Ronan Rogers, and the building was packed with well-dressed relatives, employees, and wealthy elites from around the world. The lavish decorations had been arranged in various ways. Every table had candles, and there was even an elaborate floral arrangement in front of a grand piano. A band played quietly, and a giant banner hung proudly across one side of the large hall, displaying Ronan's name in flowing lettering that was so wonderfully designed that no one could easily decipher it. The agile older man had invited everyone to join him in celebrating, and as the head of a multibillion-dollar firm — Rogers Inc — his invitation was greatly appreciated. As he sat, dressed elegantly, everyone gathered around. It was time for them to bring t
Cassie stared at her grandfather, stunned. He intended to take advantage of the terrible position and marry her to some wealthy man. She didn't care if the so-called Mason Stitch was wealthy or owned a multibillion-dollar corporation. Her husband was everything to her. She loved him dearly.Mason, who was nearby, gave a wry smile. He had always wanted to marry Cassie. She was stunning, and the perfect trophy wife look. She’d also look great by his side at high-profile events. She was an eye-catching candy. Aside from her attractiveness, he had another reason for wanting to marry her, but that was a story for another day. With all these reasons combined, he'd tried tirelessly to win her over with his money even after she'd married, but she refused. If there was one thing he couldn't fathom, it was her attachment to a man who couldn't provide her anything. What, after all, did she see in the heinous being? He wasn't that attractive, so what was his allure? What did Ethan possess that
Ethan locked his gaze on the stranger's face. His eyes were hauntingly familiar. His hair was short and had faded to white, making him appear like a wealthy elderly CEO—someone who was born into old money. Regardless, Ethan felt positive he had a distant history with this man.A flood of heat rushed through his consciousness as he recognized who the man was. Archibald, his grandfather’s butler. Leonard Stark was his grandfather, a man well-known in business for his power, money, and brilliance. He was one of the country's wealthiest me.He was, nevertheless, lonely. After disowning his only son twenty-seven years ago, when the young man decided to marry Ethan's mother, he had no one except business colleagues around him. He’d been enraged, resenting the marriage to a commoner, and swore he didn't want anything to do with his son. He’d lost his last living son and daughter-in-law several years ago, and they had no children. Because of this, when the old man died, he had no one to gi
Ethan shifted his gaze to his sleeping wife. Her head was resting on a pillow, and she looked so lovely and at peaceA smile lit up his face as he remembered his last night’s resolution. He had said he would assist her. He had persuaded himself that receiving the inheritance from his grandfather would put an end to all their humiliations and worries. He'd do it, and she'd be free of her family for good. He got out of bed and looked at the clock on the table. It read 5:30 a.m. He sighed deeply. His phone, which was also on the table, beeped simultaneously, and stretching his hand, he grabbed the device. He'd gotten an email from Stark Inc. His eyes widened in surprise. Why would Stark Inc. contact him by email? He opened the email quickly to read the contents. "Dear Ethan, the board of directors of Stark Inc. has unanimously voted to induct you as the company director, and for the time being, we have made you Chairman and CEO of our new takeover, Buddy Industries." Ethan stopped r
Ethan fixed his gaze on the lovely young lady in front of him. He'd learned a lot about her from some magazines. She was a well-known businesswoman who had managed several renowned corporations. As Ethan observed her, she was about twenty-eight years old or younger. She was tall and slender. Her eyes were huge, and her neck was lengthy. She was also kind and mature. He pushed his palm against hers. "Thank you so much, Miss Demi. I'm overjoyed to be here." "Thank you so much. Please accompany me." She escorted him to her office on the same floor as his. They started talking while sitting in front of Demi's desk. "I regret to inform you that I will be absent from the office regularly. As a result, I want you to continue managing significant operations and business transactions. If there are any important ones that I need to handle, I will do it.”Demi gave him a respectful look. She was aware that he was Leonard Stark's grandchild. She anticipated him to be older, but she was aston
The bidding for the casino project was announced shortly after Ethan left the office. The news shocked the city, just as he had predicted. There would be many bidders because it was a multi-million dollar project. Several companies were eager to meet and get to know the enigmatic new Chairman of the Buddy Industry. What was his name? How did he acquire the Buddy Industry for approximately $500 billion in one lump sum payment? Many companies would need almost a year to raise such funds, but he bought the company in a day. How is that even possible? When his name was printed as "Mr. White," numerous companies wanted to learn more about him to gain his favor and win the bid for the Casino project. Everyone, however, had no idea who he was. His only identity was his surname, which could not offer them enough vital information. Many wealthy families were likewise drawn to the new personality that had emerged in the city. They wanted to introduce him to their daughters in the hopes that

easily, can’t you see, and now you are rejecting a drink from me” Mason added and shrugged which only added to Cassie’s anger.She hates the fact Mason thinks Ethan controls her when that is not the case. To prove what he was saying was wrong, Cassie snatched the drink from his hand and drank it on a go.“Good,” Mason said and smirked. Quietly, fisting his hand into a ball to show his happiness. He gently pulled his phone from his pocket, made sure Cassie wasn’t seeing him, and set it on camera, gently placing it in a place that would cover Cassie.Mason was happy everything was going as planned, the thought of how he was humiliated a few days ago only made him more livid, and he did anything to prove to them, that he wasn’t a failure.Mason remembered how Arnold met him outside his office, at first, he was surprised to see him outside his office, but soon his surprise morphed into anger. “Mr. Stitches!” Arnold had called when he saw Mason moving closer to him, Mason had a faint smile

He thought about going through his plans as he had made with Demi, he had a strong temptation to retaliate on everything Mason had done and humiliate him just like he had done to him severally, he would love it so much to bring him on his knees while he begs him to save him, Ethan sighed instead decided to take a different approach probably giving him a benefit of doubts.Walking past Mason, Ethan maintained a stoic demeanor, ignoring the insults and provocations. However, just as he passed by, Mason put his legs on the road, causing Ethan to stumble. He was only able to balance his stance before falling on the floor.Ethan blew his hair away from his face angrily and scoffed, he turned back to face him while Mason had a prominent smirk on his face, blowing the cigarette on Ethan’s face.“What was the meaning of that?” Ethan demanded an explanation for Mason's behavior, he had his hand fisted angrily, barely controlling himself from landing a punch on his face.“I had thought you were
“I have told you several times not to talk about Ethan in that manner, if not just stop the car and I will gladly come down, I can go to the venue with a cab” Cassie retorted, fisting her hand angrily. The night wasn’t going the way she had planned, and everything was on her nerves.“Stop being stiff Cassie, I don’t know why you get so angry when someone spills the truth about Ethan, you know deep down every word said against him is the truth” Mason stated and Cassie flared at her, at this point she was tired and regretted getting inside the car with him at the first place, she should have stayed back or better still look for a cab.“You are always acting as if Ethan controls you when your so-called husband could let you go that easily, can’t you see, and now you are rejecting a drink from me” Mason added and shrugged which only added to Cassie’s anger.She hates the fact Mason thinks Ethan controls her when that is not the case.

Desperately needing something sturdy to hold on to, Cassie reached out her trembling hand and gripped the nearby wall. The coolness of the surface offered a brief respite, grounding her in the midst of the chaotic scene. Her head spun with a mixture of alcohol and emotions, the intoxicating effects and the weight of her current situation vying for control.“Fuck!” she muttered as she tried to stable her stance.“Why is everything going against me today!” she muttered as she squeezed her eyes shut.Arnold watched her from a distance, a smirk dancing on his face. He glanced at his phone occasionally, watching a video Mason had sent him. Disgust etched across his features, he couldn't hide his disdain. He knew everything was finally working in his favor and the favor Cassie had in the hands of his grandfather would all change soon, he would see how worthless Cassie was, and she will be disgraced in the presence of everyone.“This is good” he muttered to himself as he watched the video al
“Don’t tell me, you are going to ignore me throughout the night. Are you that offended your husband let you go easily like the coward he is” Mason said and Cassie shot him a look.“I have told you several times not to talk about Ethan in that manner, if not just stop the car and I will gladly come down, I can go to the venue with a cab” Cassie retorted, fisting her hand angrily.

Ethan arrived at the venue, he stepped out of the cab “Keep the change” he said as he handed over the fee to the cab man, who slightly bowed at him and drove off.Ethan turned to walk inside the venue when he suddenly noticed Mason, he had his back resting on a car and was about to light a cigar, he thought he might have stayed behind, perhaps he wanted to humiliate him. He thought about going through his plans as he had made with Demi, he had a strong temptation to retaliate on everything Mason had done and humiliate him just like he had done to him severally, he would love it so much to bring him on his knees while he begs him to save him, Ethan sighed instead decided to take a different approach probably giving him a benefit of doubts.Walking past Mason, Ethan maintained a stoic demeanor, ignoring the insults and provocations.
