Roland woke up early in the morning, his mind clear and focused. He had put his father's death behind him and was ready to face the challenges that lay ahead. As he sat up in bed, his maid, Seraphina, walked in with a tray of breakfast."Good morning, young master," she said with a smile."Good morning, Seraphina," Roland replied as he got out of bed. "I have a big day ahead of me today. I need to be at the Lafayette Group by 9 am."Seraphina nodded and helped Roland get dressed. She picked out a crisp white shirt and black pants for him, and then helped him tie his tie. As she buttoned up his shirt, she couldn't help but notice how handsome he looked. "Is everything okay, Seraphina?" Roland asked, noticing her staring at him."Yes, young master," she replied quickly. "You look very handsome today."Roland smiled and thanked her. He grabbed his briefcase and headed downstairs, where Butler Lucas was waiting for him."Good morning, young master," Lucas said, bowing slightly."Good m
...AA Station...Visiting Hour."The Lafayette's heir is strong-headed. I couldn't take him down but I monitored him closely, that'll do." A man whispered to the stiff-looking young man that was locked behind the prison walls."I'd take it from here." The stiff-looking man finally spoke as he gaped at the man who shared the information with him.The man gave the stiff-looking man a piece of paper containing the things he jotted down while he was monitoring the heir of the Lafayette family."You've done a good job." The stiff-looking man said with a smirk on his face.The man beside him chuckled darkly. "Indeed, I have. My money." He demanded."Let me get out of prison first, money isn't an issue." "Money is my issue and besides you're going to spend a lifetime here in prison."The stiff-looking man had a smug looked on his face and he pointed to the police officer who was heading towards their direction."Is visiting hour over?" The man asked but the stiff being still didn't move an
Simon didn't know what to do or say as his mouth flung open. Of course, he had ordered a man to take down Roland but it was unsuccessful and he met Alex even before Alex was imprisoned.He never knew Alex was from the Lafayette family Could this not get any worst?Simon face palmed himself and gazed at Alex as if wanting to say something but Alex wasn't bothered.The same rude and psycho Alex."What's next?" Simon asked out of tiredness as he yawned."I got to buy a house here in Candon City before I'll have other plans of moving to the Lafayette's Mansion," Alex said."But you can just get a house at the Lafayette Estate using a hidden identity, that way, you and Roland might be able to meet coincidentally," Simon suggested.Alex massaged his temple, he thought about what Simon said and it turned out to be a perfect plan. He even has other plans other than taking what he claimed to be his. His other plans were far more grave and would be later discovered as time goes on.A satisfa
"Roland gave me a cold shoulder, he didn't forgive me with an open mind as he was just acting." Debbie sobbed.Simon let out a sigh after listening to her narration.He knew Debbie was greedy and would eventually leave him if Roland accepts her again but Roland wouldn't do that because the things they've both done to him in the past were unforgivable and he knew it."Was he really going to demolish all the buildings in the area because of his project?" Simon asked confused about the whole situation."I don't know, that pained me the most." She continued sobbing over the phone."Inform your father about it," Simon suggested."Don't you know who Roland is now?" She said almost yelling. "My father is in no position to stop Roland or his project."Alex, on the other hand, listened to what Debbie said and he came to realize that she must be Roland's ex-girlfriend who neglected him in the past.He didn't want to intrude so he kept his ears wide open without saying anything."It's okay, Debb
Roland sat in the high-backed chair, his fingers tapping impatiently on the polished oak table in front of him. He was waiting for the highest agent of demolition to arrive, the man who would give him the authority he needed to bring down the old shopping estate that had been a thorn in his side for years.The room was dimly lit, with only a single lamp casting a warm glow over the table. The walls were adorned with oil paintings, all of them depicting scenes of destruction and chaos. Roland found them comforting, a reminder of the power he held in his hands.Finally, the door opened, and a man dressed in an expensive suit walked in. He was tall and thin, with slicked-back hair and a permanent scowl etched onto his face."Mr. Roland," he said, his voice deep and gravelly. "I assume you have an update for me on the shopping estate?"Roland leaned back in his chair, his eyes never leaving the man's face. "Yes, I do. The estate is falling apart, and it's becoming a safety hazard for
Anthony entered his apartment after a long day at work, hoping to relax and spend some quality time with his girlfriend, Sarah. However, as he walked into his room, he saw Sarah sitting on his bed, talking on the phone to someone he didn't recognize. Her back was turned to him, and he couldn't hear the conversation. As he walked closer, Sarah quickly ended the call and put her phone away."Who were you talking to?" Anthony asked, puzzled.Sarah looked up at him, her eyes wide with surprise. "Oh, just a friend," she said, trying to sound casual.Anthony wasn't convinced. He had been suspicious of Sarah's behavior lately, and this only added to his concerns. He looked around the room, trying to see if anything was out of place. That's when he noticed that his laptop was missing from his desk."Where's my laptop?" he demanded.Sarah tried to play it cool. "I don't know. Maybe you left it at work or something."But Anthony knew that wasn't true. He had left the laptop on his desk before h
Roland sat in the grand living room of Lafayette's Mansion, staring out of the window at the sprawling gardens that surrounded the estate. He was lost in thought, contemplating the upcoming demolition of the old shopping mall. He knew that it was the right decision, but he couldn't help feeling a twinge of sadness.Roland was sad because of the old striving people who worked there and they had to move out. He pitied them because they were old and they were also caught up in Debbie's mess as she should be the only one suffering from it.Suddenly, the door opened and Butler Lucas entered the room. "Good morning, young master," he said, his voice calm and measured. "I trust you slept well?"Roland turned to face him, offering a small smile. "Yes, thank you, Lucas. And yourself?""I slept well, thank you for asking," Lucas replied, moving to stand beside Roland. "Is there anything I can assist you with this morning?"Roland hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Actually, yes. I wan
Roland stood outside the police station, taking in the red brick facade that loomed before him. It was a tall building, with plenty of windows and a heavy wooden door. The sun shone brightly, casting long shadows across the pavement and Roland felt a bead of sweat run down his back.He took a deep breath and stepped towards the entrance, pulling open the door. As he entered the station, he was hit with the harsh smell of disinfectant and cleaning products. His eyes scanned the room, taking in the rows of metal desks and filing cabinets. A few uniformed officers sat at their computers, typing away but none of them paying him any attention."Excuse me," Roland said, approaching the closest officer. "I'm looking for Alex Lafayette."The officer looked up, his eyebrows rising in surprise. "Are you a family member?""Half-brother," Roland confirmed, his heart beating faster in his chest. "Do you know where he is? I want to pay him a visit."The officer hesitated for a moment before sigh
