She was dressed in a simple yet elegant black dress, her long black hair framing her delicate features. Roland himself was dressed in a pinstriped suit with a red tie, looking every bit the successful businessman that he was."Seraphina, my dear, do not concern yourself with your maid duties tonight. You are my lover, my equal. I will make it known to everyone when we sit down for dinner tonight," Roland said, taking her hand in his.Seraphina smiled at him, the warmth of his touch spreading through her body.

From turkey and stuffing to cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes, it was a feast fit for a king. The table was also adorned with various desserts ranging from apple pies to chocolate cakes.Roland lifted his glass of red wine and stood up, commanding the room’s attention. "I propose a toast," he said, smiling at his guests. "To love, laughter, and friendship that never fades."His guests raised their glasses in unison and echoed his words.

The happy and lively atmosphere of the party was gone, replaced with a sense of foreboding.He tried to shake it off and immerse himself in the festivities again, but it was hard.Seraphina sensed his mood. "Are you alright?" she asked him.He gave her a weak smile, "I’ll be fine."The rest of the partygoers had left, leaving behind a small group of close friends and family, chatting and drinking eggnog by the fireplace. Roland's aunt was still playing the piano softly in the background, but the mood had changed. It was no longer a joyous affair.Just then, the doorbell rang, interrupting the stillness of the room.Butler Lucas, Roland's trusted advisor, opened the door to reveal a man standing on the porch laden with gifts."Hello, I have a delivery for the Lafayette family," the man said, smiling.Lucas nodded, "Please come in."The man entered the room and handed the packages to Lucas.Roland walked over to him.

Now is the time to choose between me or your so-called love," the woman said, her voice husky and full of anger."I can't do this right now, and you know it," Alex replied, feeling trapped."Then when can you?" the woman demanded."I don't know, but I'll figure it out," he said, sounding defeated.The woman on the other end of the line hung up without another word, leaving Alex standing there, staring at his phone.He knew he was in deep trouble, and he didn't know what to do.Alex had worked hard to

The sirens blared in the distance, growing fainter as the vehicle disappeared from view. He couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction at the thought of Roland's misfortune. After all, he had always been jealous of his half-brother's success.As he watched the ambulance disappear, he began to pace back and forth, muttering to himself.

The True Heir A Second Chance
Roland lay on the hospital bed, his chest heaving with each labored breath. Beads of sweat dotted his forehead, his body twitching with pain. The doctors worked frantically around him, their faces etched with worry."His blood pressure is through the roof," muttered a doctor, peering at his vitals. "We need to bring it down, fast.""His potassium levels are dangerously low," chimed in another, frowning at the results on the screen. "It's affecting his heart rate."They exchanged knowing glances. It didn't take a genius to figure out what had caused this sudden breakdown. Alex was really a pain on a neck and besides they agreed to be allies, after donating blood for their father, then he changed.His constant attack for power was really stressful for Roland and running the Lafayette Group as the CEO wasn't easy as well.He had neglected his health condition again.At some point, his body had simply given up."We've got to get him stabilized," said the lead doctor, barking orders to t
The True Heir Rising from the Ashes
The doctors were hesitant, but Roland was determined. He knew the risks, but he couldn't sit by and watch his life's work be destroyed.Maria made arrangements for his release, and within hours, Roland was back in his office, the familiar hum of the Lafayette Group filling him with a sense of purpose.But he was weak, and he knew it. The mere act of walking across the room left him winded and trembling.He made his way to his desk and sat down heavily, his mind racing as he surveyed the reports and memos piled high on his desk.He had a lot of catching up to do.But as he started to pore over the documents, something felt off. There was a sense of tension in the air, a feeling that something was about to break.Roland knew he had to act quickly.He called a meeting with his executives, determined to get to the bottom of the matter once and for all.They filed into his office, their faces inscrutable. Roland nodded curtly to each of them, taking a deep breath before launching into the
The True Heir Suspicious
Roland's grip on the phone tightened. He didn't want to talk to Alex. He wanted to put an end to this once and for all."What do you want, Alex?" he asked, his voice sounding more steely than he felt."I'm coming to town," Alex said, his voice almost a growl. "And I suggest you meet me. We have some unfinished business to attend to."Roland's mind raced. He knew that meeting Alex would be dangerous, but he also knew that he couldn't just sit back and wait for things to happen."Fine," he said through gritted teeth. "But it's going to be on my terms. Meet me at the Lafayette headquarters tomorrow morning."There was a long pause on the other end of the line."Very well," Alex finally said. "But I warn you, Roland. This will not end well for you."With that, he hung up, leaving Roland feeling even more uneasy than before.He knew that the next day was going to be critical. He had to come up with a plan, something that would give him the upper hand in this deadly game of power.Roland sp
