Outside the door of Carter's building, Eva had been kneeling for nearly an hour. It was humiliating as she could feel the stares of many servant

Soon, the front door opened and a group of people walked out of the building including Eric, Benjamin and Brian

“Why are you here?” Benjamin asked in a cold voice.

“I'm here to plead with you to revoke your order, grandfather. Please don't kick us out of the family.” Eva quickly begged, lowering her head before Benjamin.

“Shameless! How dare you make such an outrageous demand after your heinous crimes towards the family?” Benjamin hollered, his voice filled with anger. “You have shamed our family and because of you, our family lost ownership of Cross Corporation. Now, people will mock us just like they did years ago when you got married to that useless husband of you."

“Grandfather, I swear that it wasn't my intention to smear the family's reputation. Moreover, I really had no idea that such a clause was added to the contract.” Eva s

    The next day, the shocking piece of news that the Carter family had lost ownership of Cross Corporation and the company in question now belonged to the Pegasus Enterprise had already spread like wildfire around Brooklyn. It had become the hottest trending topic everyone in the city was talking about, especially the business elites. This was mainly because it was a very rare occurrence that an elite family would lose the right to the ownership of the family's main business that had been passed down from generations to the next generation. Although there were cases of bankruptcy, even that hadn't happened in a long while. The second captivating part of this trending news was that many of the current top employees of Cross Corporation were being laid off, especially those that were members of the Carter family. The fact that the Carter family status has drastically dropped to the league of the fourth tier elite families was certain. Many reporters and journalists were gathered o

    Meanwhile, dressed in a simple outfit, Eva was seated on her bed scrolling through her cell phone, searching for job vacancies. It was a weekday and she would usually be buried in a pile of paperwork in her office at this time of the day. Unfortunately, that was no longer going to be the case for an uncertain period of time since she had now become jobless. Apparently, Eva came across the news that Pegasus Enterprise was going to hold an interview session to hire employees for Cross Corporation. It made her heart sink to think that just a day ago that company belonged to her family and she held the position of being one of the company’s project managers. Suddenly, she jolted from being startled by the abrupt sound of her room door being pushed open. “For heaven's sake mom, you could have at least knocked?” Eva complained. “Oh my goodness! What are you wearing? You have a guest waiting for you downstairs so you need to get dressed in much more suitable clothes.” Kate said with

    After hearing Dustin's words, Eva couldn't argue that it was a heartwarming reason. She would have felt completely touched if only she didn't know that aside from the reason stated, Dustin also had some other ulterior motive. Nonetheless, she still had to appreciate Dustin's visit. “Thank you very much. As you can see, I'm doing quite alright.” “Of course, you would be! You are a very strong-willed woman and that is why I admire you so much.” Dustin complimented, trying to flatter Eva. “I brought you a small present.” He announced, revealing a small fancy looking box from his jacket. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the box with lingering curiosity to know the contents inside the box. Dustin opened the box, revealing an elegant gold chain bracelet with a heart shaped green emerald pendant that was glittering and shining luminously in the box. Kate immediately gasped in admiration after seeing the bracelet. Her eyes filled with greed.“Oh my God! That looks very beautiful.” She co

    The room was instantly engulfed by the sound of Chris mocking laughter. He was very impressed with Eva's response although he didn't doubt her since he knew that she wasn't easily lured by materialistic items. “Bastard, what's so funny about this situation? You don't deserve to be standing next to Eva but this is the end of the road.” Dustin asked in an infuriated tone while also glaring menacingly at Chris. “It is very daring of you to make a love confession to my wife despite my presence in the room. However, I find it much more amusing that you claim to be expressing your sincere feelings to her by gifting her a fake bracelet while pretending it's original and yet you still got rejected in the end.” Chris remarked, his words striking a chord of confusion in the mind of everyone present in the room. “You can't fool everyone here.” Instantly, Dustin became very nervous but he tried to hide it. “W-What are you talking about? My feelings for Eva are true and sincere.” He proudly

    “Mom, why are you doing this?” Eva tried to meddle but Kate also snapped at her with her eyes blaring in flames of anger. “Stay out of this, Eva!How could he lay hands on Dustin? What if the Ambrose family tries to retaliate back at us. We no longer have the support of the Carter family so how do you expect us to defend ourselves?” Kate pointed out. Eva knew that Kate’s words made a lot of sense but she was confident that Dustin wouldn't do anything like that Chris sighed as watched his mother-in-law throw a fit of anger. He understood that she was worried for the family so he couldn't blame her. However, In situations like this, it was best to avoid her until she was more relaxed so he willingly walked out of the house. “Chris!” Eva called when she saw Chris leaving the house “Don't worry! I'll just wait outside the house for a while” Chris informed her before leaving. He stood outside the front porch of the house staring at the sky that was gradually losing its brightness

    At the same time the Carters were holding a meeting at the mansion concerning the interview that would take place at the Cross Corporation. The company previously belonged to them and so there was still a lingering attachment to it that made them still look for ways to claim it back. “Father, I just spoke with the representative of StarTech Corporation. They are also saying that they’re terminating their cooperation with us. They’re the tenth company that wants to terminate cooperation with us over the past few days. What should we do?” Bryce asked Dominic anxiously. This was the current state of the Carter family. As words spread about how they breached the contract with the Pegasus Enterprise a few days ago and compensated it with the Cross Corporation, they became the laughing stock of Brooklyn. Their status had also plunged significantly, and to make matters worse, they had offended the Pegasus Enterprise. Thus, many of their former business partners decided to cease their co

    Chris had a stern expression on his face after hearing Dustin’s words. He was aware of the fact that the Ambrose family was clinching a collaboration with Pegasus Enterprise and It was no wonder why Dustin was very confident about helping Eva get a job at Cross Enterprise. Dustin was trying to tempt Eva with the offer of getting her position at Cross Corporation to make her accept his marriage proposal. He intentionally decided to help Eric become general manager of Cross Corporation in order to irk Eva. However, he couldn't allow such a nuisance to stick around him so he made a mental note to fix this situation. “It would be wise for you to accept Dustin's proposal. Maybe our grandfather will consider letting you back into the Carter family if you marry into the Ambrose family. The Ambrose would soon rise to become a top tier elite family in Brooklyn with the connection with Pegasus Enterprise and it would be great to form family ties with them.” Eric also pitched in his own opi

    “Silly brat! You know how to flatter someone?" Bill laughed but his facial expression immediately turned sour when he saw the text message on his phone. It was a message from Pegasus Enterprise stating that his employment had been terminated. Bill immediately sprung up from his seat. He was totally confused by the current situation. “This can't be happening! Why?....Why am I being terminated?” He mumbled incoherently. “Is there anything wrong, Uncle?" Dustin asked in a concerned tone after observing the sudden change in Bill's demeanor. “I have to go right now!” Bill ignored Dustin. Instead, he grabbed his car key and headed straight to Pegasus Enterprise to confirm what was happening. Shortly afterwards, Dustin also got a phone call back from his father. “What is happening, Dustin?! Did you do something to offend Pegasus Enterprise?” The voice on the phone was speaking in a very harsh tone. “No, father. I haven't done anything wrong.” Dustin replied, feeling slightly confu

    The helicopter’s blades roared above the scorched terrain, kicking up waves of sand as it ascended from the narrow gorge where Chris and his team had taken cover. The extraction had been swift and precise, thanks to Cara’s defiance of Mason’s orders. Chris sat near the cockpit, bloodied but alive, staring at the phone he had taken from the enemy leader during their last desperate clash. His fingers danced across the keypad, composing a message that would set the next phase of their plan into motion.“ All targets eliminated. Confirming Chris and his squad had been neutralized.”He read the text twice before pressing send. The stolen phone vibrated faintly in his hand, sending the message directly to Mason. A bitter smile crept across his face. Mason would never suspect it was him—he would think it was a final report from the enemy forces he had conspired with.“Message sent,” Chris muttered to Ethan, who was securing Roy’s injured arm beside him. “Let’s see how Mason reacts.”Ethan g

    In the shadows of the crimson-tinted base, Mason waited. His eyes never strayed from the monitors in front of him, the glow from the screens illuminating his calculating expression. He had spent years cultivating his place in the Legion, building his alliances, playing the part of the dutiful soldier. But beneath the surface, something had festered—a hunger, a thirst for power that had been there all along, waiting for the right moment to break free.Mason had known that James, the leader of the Legion, was vulnerable. After all, the older man had always been so sure of his power, so confident in his ability to hold the reins of the Crimson Legion. But James had a weakness: his attachments. And none more so than his favorite student, Chris.Mason had always hated it. Hated how James doted on Chris, how he saw potential in the young soldier. It was a jealousy that had quietly gnawed at him over the years, and now, it was something he could no longer control.So, Mason played his cards

    Meanwhile, As Chris waited for extraction, his resolve hardened. The mission wasn’t over, and the fight was far from done.The desert air was tense as the helicopter lifted off from the extraction point, its rotors slicing through the night. Chris sat near the door, his rifle resting on his lap, scanning the horizon for any threats. Ethan, Roy and another surviving operative, sat across from him, their faces grim but relieved. "This confirms it," Chris muttered, his voice low but resolute. "There's a mole in the Crimson Legion."Ethan frowned. "You sure about that, sir?"Chris nodded, his gaze sharp. "They knew we'd come. Every step of this mission was compromised." His voice was low, calculated. "The enemy was too prepared. They knew our every move.Someone's feeding them intel."Before Ethan could respond, the cockpit alarm blared, jolting everyone to alertness and the pilot's panicked shout pierced through their headsets."Missiles incoming! Brace for impact!"The first explosion

    Despite their efforts, the enemy continued to press, their numbers relentless. Chris’s mind raced as he evaluated their options.“We’re not going to outrun them,” Ethan said, his tone grim.“Then we outsmart them,” Chris replied.Spotting a narrow canyon ahead, Chris led Ethan toward it, the rocky terrain offering some cover. The enemy jeeps couldn’t follow, forcing their pursuers to dismount and continue on foot.The narrow passage became a deadly battleground as Chris and Ethan used the terrain to their advantage. Chris’s sharp instincts and flawless aim were on full display, each kill executed with surgical precision.Ethan, despite his exhaustion, matched Chris’s intensity.

    The Midnight RaidBy the time the moon hung high in the sky, Chris and his handpicked team were en route to Sudan. The helicopter flew low, its rotors slicing through the stillness of the desert night.Chris briefed the team over the roar of the engines. “We’re dealing with a highly organized group. They’ve anticipated our moves before. Expect heavy resistance. Our priority is James. Nothing else matters.”The plan was to extract James and the team will be transported from the site by a military convoy led by Mason which was already enroute couple of hours ago.Chris was surprised that Mason willingly chose to lead the escort team as he had expected that Mason would never want to miss the action. As the enemy camp came into view, the tension in the air was electric. The camp sprawled across the sand, a chaotic mix of tents, watchtowers, and armed patrols.The helicopter hovered just long enough for the team to rappel down, their black gear blending seamlessly with the shadows.They
