"But Mum, how could Dad let someone like that trick him into giving away the company?" Sophia spoke while driving her mum to the family's private mansion in the eastern part of Atlanta.
"I don't know why. That's why I'm going to ask him, to know why he made that kind of a decision without our notice," Sophia's mother responded, her face frowning and her teeth gritted.
The company Brooks used as compensation for the investment breach was the one Sophia controlled. Re

Before anyone could pass the gate to the auction grounds, they had to be invited and must have a golden ticket as a pass card. Victor and his father Brooks were present at the auction, and the beautifully enchanted gold and artwork were displayed at the frontage.The salesman, who was the speaker for the auction, walked onto the stage and picked up the mic."Hello, everybody! Thank you for coming.

"Hazel?" Victor asked surprisingly with a stare, hands gripping the steering wheel."Yes, she's here. Go finish what you failed to finish the previous time. And if you fail this time, I will be forced to make a decision I'm not willing to make on you. Don't make me do this," Brooks spoke coldly, handing a pistol to Victor. Victor collected it."Okay, Father, I will do exactly as you say," Victor responded. He dug the pistol at the side of his trousers, then used his shirt to cover it.Victor walked out of the car with the pistol to the auction ground, but people were still inside. If he said he wanted to start shooting, he might end up hurting innocent people. Victor decided to wait while scanning for Hazel and looking for the right time when she walked alone to pull the trigger.Suddenly, Hazel was caught in sight, but she was walking to the restroom. She was pressed and wanted to use it urgently. However, she wasn't alone; she was with two hefty men, guarding her from all angles."S
The Tycoon Heir Chapter 1: Sovereign's Sigil
A loud bang on the door awoke Nathan from his sleep. Groaning, he sat up on the thin, creaky mattress. His bedroom was little more than a storage closet: small, full of old boxes, and a broken fan that groaned louder than he did. The only light came from a small window covered with newspapers to block out the cold. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the time on his cheap phone. Five-thirty in the morning."Nathan!" The voice outside the door was sharp and impatient. He recognized it instantly. Madam Rose, his mother-in-law. "Are you deaf? Get up and make breakfast!"Nathan huffed, then swung his legs swiftly over the bed. He didn't want to give her reason to yell any louder. Pulling on a shirt and pants, he stepped out into the hall, his head low. Madam Rose was waiting for him, her arms folded, face twisted in her usual frown.You're slower than a snail," she snapped. "If you weren't married to my daughter, I'd have thrown you out long ago. Useless boy.""Yes, ma'am," Nathan murmured,
The Tycoon Heir Chapter 2: Embezzlement Agency
Nathan's footsteps were sluggish as he walked back through the creaky front door of that small house. The familiar scent of Madam Rose's perfume filled the air, and he let out another sigh, knowing the day hadn't gotten any better for him. It was day in and day out: work, chores, more work, the same routine, with a grim reminder that he didn't belong. He threw his bag onto the couch and went into the kitchen, where Madam Rose was already seated, sipping her tea."You are late," she said, her voice cold as steel, sharp and commanding. "What held you back? You are supposed to be back now, but I can see the way you have been wasting your time again."Nathan looked down, not raising his head. "Sorry, Madam Rose," he murmured, staring at the floor.Madam Rose did not even look at him and only waved her hand dismissively. "You better make dinner tonight. You know how much I hate eating late. Go on, get to work.""Yes, ma'am," Nathan said in a barely audible voice. He walked to the fridge, o
The Tycoon Heir Chapter 3: Ruinous Powers
This cold, dark holding cell felt like a suffocating box to Nathan. Gray concrete walls threatened to close in on him with each tick of the second. Clanking metal bars echoed off the silence to remind him he was locked up-somewhere he never thought he'd be. He sat upon the hard bench, trying to fathom what was real and what wasn't with his head racing in bewilderment. How had this all gone so wrong? How could he be here, accused of something he had not done?The iron door of the cell creaked as it swung open, and in came two police officers-one tall and with a scowl, the other much shorter but stocky, with a smile that set Nathan on edge."Stand up," ordered the tall officer gruffly.Nathan hesitated before rising to his feet, his body stiff from the cold. He wasn’t sure what to expect next, but his gut told him it wouldn’t be good.The taller officer pointed to the bench. “Sit. We’re going to have a little chat.”Nathan sat down again, his heart beating wildly in his chest. He had no
The Tycoon Heir Chapter 4: The Dreaming
Nathan sat in the cold, dark cell, the damp walls closing in on him as he wrapped his arms around his knees. His mind had been sucked into a black vortex, replaying every instant in his life that had brought him to this very point: accusations, ridicule, humiliation the end product of years of being treated less than human. He had no idea how much time had passed since he was thrown in here, but one thing he knew for sure was that no one would come for him. His wife wouldn't, nor would her family. Why would they? He was just the expendable son in law, the stray they had picked up off the street and allowed to linger in their lives.His body, worn and weary, finally gave in to exhaustion. His head leaned back against the cold wall, and his eyes closed. Sleep came reluctantly, dragging him down into its depths. For a time, it was a fitful haze, then the dream took shape, vivid and unsettling.The insignia from the server room reappeared, glowing faintly in the darkness. Nathan found
The Tycoon Heir Chapter 5: Psyche Evaluation
Nathan’s hands trembled as he stared at the crumpled piece of paper, the address scrawled in uneven handwriting. He had walked past the small, unassuming house twice, debating whether to knock. His dreams had grown more vivid, the insignia haunting every restless night. The pull of those dreams had brought him here, even though he wasn’t sure what he hoped to find.Finally, he gathered his courage and knocked. The door opened almost immediately, revealing a woman who looked to be in her late sixties. Her silver hair was neatly tied into a bun, and her sharp blue eyes pierced through him, as if she’d been expecting him.“Nathan,” she said, her voice calm and warm. “Come in.”Her familiarity made him pause. “How do you know my name?”The woman simply smiled and stepped aside, gesturing for him to enter. The smell of lavender and aged wood greeted him as he stepped inside. The living room was modest, with old furniture and shelves full of books.“Please, sit,” she said, motioning to the
The Tycoon Heir Chapter 6: Live and Let Die
Nathan stood transfixed, staring out the window as the mob outside the house seemed to emanate menace, their intentions clear, as they made their way toward the front door. Every fiber of his being was screaming at him to run, but his legs refused to move.Dr. Hayes was calm, though. She tugged on his arm and jerked him from the window. "Nathan, we don't have time for fear. Follow me!""What are we going to do?" Nathan stuttered, his mind racing. "They'll kill us both!Her eyes, older and sharper, met his and held steady. "Listen to me. If they've come, it means they've bypassed or otherwise disabled your father's failsafe. They no longer have a need for you alive. You are in danger, Nathan."The chill ran down his spine, but he made himself focus. "What about you? Why are you so calm?She gave him a sad smile. “Because I’ve made my peace with what’s coming. You, on the other hand, still have a chance.”Dr. Hayes led him deeper into the house, her steps quick but measured. She stopped

Victor spoke to Patel straight on, staring into her eyes. "I have a question to ask you before we get out of here. Why the hell did you want to attack me the previous time?" Victor asked curiously, staring at Patel."It was because I was... because I was being asked to do so. And the way I fail to deliver the blow on you... he will surely come for me. Morgan will surely come for me."Victor gasped "Don't worry about that. Help me bring Morgan down, and I promise to protect you. Not only that, I'll pay you a huge sum of money," Victor replied, patting Patel on the shoulder."Are you guys done already? I came here earlier, but I saw you two doing your thing, so I decided not to interrupt," John's voice sounded, cutting Victor off from his conversati

“Well, the intel you're about to hear might shock you. I spied on him, and I discovered that he's having a conversation with this very man,” Patel said, bringing out a picture she had snapped and handing it over to Victor. “I think I've seen this man once, but I’m not sure who he actually is,” she continued.“Shit! It's Nathan,” Victor snapped, seeing Nathan with Morgan having a conversation. His mind began drifting back to what his father had said, and he started doubting his words—that Nathan was incapable of doing anything to him. If Nathan could be shaking hands with this billionaire like they were making a contract deal, it meant something else. Nathan had something up his sleeve.“Do you know him?” Patel asked.

Brooks was now fixed in a tension that was between rage and betrayal. It hasn't been up to three days, and now an investment breach is taking place. What was actually happening? If Brooks didn't take any action about it, he would have no choice but to stay behind bars."Robin!" Brooks shouted. His voice sounded like a trumpet from his office. Robin, his clerk, quickly walked to the office to attend to Brooks' needs."I have an issue, and I want you to bring all the valuable documents. I need to go through them in order to verify some few things," Brooks instructed."Yes, sir, on it," Robin replied, then walked out of the office to get what he had been instructed to look for.Brooks wanted

"Did you execute her?" Brooks asked, seeing Victor walking into the sitting room.Victor sighed, then squatted in front of his father. "Please, Dad, give me another chance.""What do you mean by another chance? Did you fail the mission or what?" Brooks asked annoyingly, his face already irritated."Yes, Father, I failed the mission. Hazel tricked me, and I fell for it," Victor answered, his head bowed in regret."Explain. Make me understand your foolishness," Brooks demanded."Well, Father, I tracked her based on the intel I got, and it was absolutely correct. I saw her walk out of her car t

Some minutes later, Victor was already at home. He went straight to his bed and laid down. The next morning, he woke up to a knock on his door."Sir, your father, Mr. Brooks, is demanding your presence," the voice sounded from the other side of the door.Victor, with sleepy eyes, stood up, went to the bathroom, and showered himself. After that, he went to the sitting room where he found Brooks, his father, seated. He went over to his place and sat on one of the sofas facing him head-on. "So, Father, why did you call?" he asked.Brooks looked at Victor for some seconds before responding. "Well, son, I got information that a lady is after my life, so I want you to track down this lady and eliminate her for me,"

Spending ten thousand dollars for just a conversation is absurd. Shit, that bastard always uses me to get things, and I don't know why I keep falling for it," Victor mumbled, closing his eyes to have a rest.Some hours later, he woke up, got dressed, and was ready to head out to the club. By then, it was already past 9 p.m. Victor got in his car and rode to San Diego Club.The club was shimmering with the beautiful lighting of different colors. The entire place was filled up with people having fun and strippers dancing on poles. By his right-hand side was Victor’s security man, guiding him from all angles. Victor walked to one of the private rooms in the club—the room where John could be. On reaching there, he was dazed to see John smashing, smashing without even closing the door.
