The True Heir Drop His Revenge Plans
As they walked back to Alex's home, Simon couldn't shake off his disappointment. They had taken a lot of risks, and all for nothing. He couldn't believe they couldn't find anything incriminating about Roland. After walking in silence for a few minutes, Simon decided to voice his thoughts."That was a waste of time," Simon said, shaking his head. "We put ourselves in danger, and we don't have anything to show for it."Alex's eyes narrowed. "I know it didn't work out. But we still have to stay focused and keep trying.""How are we going to do that when Roland's on high alert? He knows someone's after him, and it's only a matter of time before he finds out it's us," Simon argued. He was getting frustrated. He had expected more from Alex - some sort of backup plan.Alex stopped in his tracks, turned to Simon, and put a hand on his shoulder. "I know it's not going how we planned, but we need to keep our head up and stay focused. We got past security once; we can do it again. The plan wi
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

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.

The mansion was alive with music, chatter, and the scent of holiday treats.Seated at the head of the long oak dining table, Roland watched with satisfaction as his guests dug into the feast the cooks had prepared.

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. Seraphina looked at him in admiration as he held her hand tight."To new beginnings, learning from our past mistakes, and spending time with the people we truly care about," Roland added, cheers ringing out

Roland walked back into the living room feeling deflated. 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. "Thank you,

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

Seraphina, sensing his distress, approached him cautiously."Roland, please," she implored, reaching out to touch his arm gently. "There's more to this than meets the eye. Perhaps there's a reason why Alex was named as the heir. We should consider all possibilities before jumping to conclusions."Her words only fueled Roland's frustration.
