The True Heir Every Weakness
Alex Lafayette sat in the dimly lit room, staring into his glass as he swirled the amber liquid around. It had been a day since Simon, his supposed ally, had failed him. He had allowed their plans against Roland Lafayette to be discovered and now Alex found himself in a precarious situation. He was angry, frustrated, and betrayed all at once. He had spent months meticulously planning their every move, and in one foolish moment, Simon had undone it all."He was always weak," Alex muttered under his breath as he took a long swig from his glass. "I should have known better than to trust him."Alex's thoughts drifted back to the night before. He had been caught off guard when the Lafayette's security team had descended on their operation. Simon had panicked and made a run for it, leaving Alex to deal with the aftermath. It was only thanks to his quick thinking that he had managed to escape with his life, but their plans were now ruined."Pathetic," Alex hissed, slamming his glass down
The True Heir Destroyed
Alex walked through the hallways with the sound of his shoes echoing in the silence. He couldn't shake off the moment with Simon from his mind. He had been betrayed before, but this one stung more than the others. It was partly because their plan was about to bear fruit and went to hell just before the final stage. But Simon was more than just an ally, he was family.He pushed open a wooden door and found himself in the living room, scanning its emptiness."How many of our guys are still in the estate?" He asked."One," replied Aaron, his assistant. "We had to withdraw most of them yesterday except for the lookout who might have seen something.""What did he see?""Not sure yet. He's still being debriefed.""Good. I need you to tell him to burn everything he has. No traces.""What do you want me to do about Simon?""Nothing," Alex replied with nonchalance. "He's a liability now. I'll deal with him myself."Alex crossed his arms and leaned against the table as he began to think about

You are my lover, my equal.

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.
