The heir of Bright group doesn’t want to be anywhere near Veronica. For the sake of the anniversary party, he doesn’t want to say something that will cause a disturbance and thus, the best thing to do is walk away. Austin joins Dacron as he walks and when the media sees them together, they begin to flash the cameras at them, trying to take pictures of them standing together.“An awesome anniversary party. It looks like you forgot to invite me?” Austin says as they stop at the cocktail section.“I never forget to invite people for a special occasion. However, if I do, it’s because they are not important in the first place.” Daxon replies.“Get this into your thick skull! I am also the son of Bright and I will not allow you to look down on me.” Austin says.“Shut it.” Daxon says silently. “You are a son my father just realized exists. And before your arrival, father transferred this hotel to me…I’m the owner. If not for the presence of the media, I would have had them send you out…alon
Daxon’s security is triple and they surround the gangsters. They help Austin up from the floor and he walks away—the gangsters begin to move back and they make haste to dissipate the environment before they get into trouble. Austin is grateful for his life because if Daxon did not walk in at that point, he would have suffered much more injuries than this. “Sir, do you really just want them to go away like that? We should lock them up.” The head of security says.“If we lock them up, we might have to look this one over here. It seems he is so familiar with them. They can go and return as they want, he is a gangster too.” Daxon says, turning his back and walking into the party. His guilty conscience did not allow him to walk away from a crime that he had witnessed with his own very eyes. At least, he has a heart unlike Austin who didn’t even open his mouth to utter a word of thanks. It could be disbelief, shame or something else entirely. He watches as Daxon walks away, and he is unab
“I didn’t want you to make the same mistake as the last time. So, I asked Butler Joe to do some findings on Azura. I also wondered if you would ever tell me about it.” “I know she is the sister of your ex-wife but they are not the same people and I will not judge them equally. I saw the way Azura was worried in the hospital, she didn’t even care that I was in the room. Her first focus was on you. So, I give the both of you my blessings.” Christopher says and Daxon smiles at his father.“Thank you so much. Honestly, I was scared to reveal it to you but I’m glad you understand.” Azura says and Christopher claps his hands.A staff approaches, delicately carrying a resplendent Ruby Emerald necklace upon a plush velvet cushion. The gleaming gemstones catch the light, casting a dazzling array of crimson and verdant hues that dance across the room. The moment it is placed on the table, Azura covers her mouth to filter her gasp. “This is a gift that I’m giving to you as my daughter in law.
The moment Austin gets off the phone with Veronica, his eyes blazes and his mother walks into the room. “Son, how are you feeling? Have you taken your drugs today? Why haven’t you told your father about what Monte Carlo’s son did to you!?” Grace asks.“Mother, please! Stop calling that man my father.” Austin says, looking into the mirror and checking if there are still any signs of the pleating he went through.“But he is your father! Who do you want to call father? The man who is buried in a grave?” Grace says and Austin glares at her.“I have to tell you the truth. No one else would if you I do not tell you. Don’t you understand?” Grace says and he walks away from the mirror.“Listen, mom! I don’t care about anything that has to do with Limbert or Christopher. The only thing that matters to me is this war with Daxon. I cannot let him become the inheritor of Bright group.”“He is getting engaged and he is doing everything that old man wants, the boards of directors are in complete s
“Keep your voice down, Daxon Winter!” Monte Carlo says, pure excitement in his eyes as he takes delight in the ache of Daxon’s voice and anger. “Repeat what you said regarding my mother! Where the hell is she!?” Daxon bangs the table and the officers stare in because they can hear the increase in vocal chords between both men. “Hey, you need to keep your voice down!” The security guard says and Monte Carlo is still laughing hysterically.“Please, tell me where my mother is?” Daxon says, staring at Monte Carlo who is not saying anything for the first few minutes.The heir of Bright group shoulders slump in defeat, his chest heaving with each ragged breath as a tempest of emotions rages within. His brows furrow in a deep-seated fury, his jaw clenched in a palpable display of seething anger. Eyes that were once bright with determination now smolder with a sad resolve, revealing the depths of his anguish and the fierce resolve brewing beneath the surface. His fists clench and unclench,
Daxon cannot think straight. This is all because his father left them. If his father didn’t leave, his mother would not have fallen to such a ruthless fate. Where could she be? Where in the world could his mother be? His father doesn’t even know that his mother could be alive? The heir of Bright group is feeling a ton of different things and one of that is a sense of betrayal that may forever linger. If his father, if his father did not leave his and his poor mother .It wouldn’t have resulted in this. This is the height of it and as much as Daxon’s heart is shattered against everything that is happening. It didn’t stop him from driving to his father’s house to ask him questions that breaks his heart.At the mansion owned by Christopher Winter, Daxon strides briskly down the corridor, his determined gait conveying urgency. Each step, purposeful and rapid, echoes through the silent hallway. As he nears the office, his eyes fixate on the entrance, jaw clenched in determination.Grace wh
Grace runs into her bedroom after what she witnessed. It is like a heaven set miracle and it is the best part for her to make a wave for her son. Austin is in his bedroom, getting ready for something when she bolts into the room.Austin’s brow furrow in concentration as he attempted to navigate the intricate folds of the tie, his fingers fumbling slightly with the slippery fabric. As he works, a faint crease of frustration tugs at the corners of his mouth, but it is swiftly replaced by a sense of triumph as the tie begins to take shape.“Mom?“ Austin says, trying to adjust the tie on his neck. “Son. Something has happened!” Grace says, covering her mouth with her hands as she looks at me. Austin looks at her from top to toes, he thinks she is probably trying to tell something that makes no sense. With a gentle yet firm voice, Grace clears her throat, signaling the imminent disclosure that hangs in the air.“Austin, I’m speaking to you! You won’t believe what I just saw and heard!” Gr
Daxon cannot believe it. His head is not in the right place as he enters his home. Lewis and Azura are inside, waiting for him so they can have lunch together. When he walks in, they realize that his shoulders have slumped and his eyes fixed on the ground. His normally confident stride was replaced by a hesitant shuffle, each step marked by a weighty sighLines of fatigue etches onto his face, shadowed by a sense of profound desolation. His unkempt hair falls untamed over his forehead, betraying a neglect that echoes his inner turmoil. A once-crisp suit now bears the creases of neglect, hinting at the battles he might have facedAzura gets up from her chair and begins to walk over to him. Lewis, on the other hand, is watching in confusion. What could have happened to his boss? “Daxon, are you okay?” Azura asks and he lifts his head to look at her. Words do not emanate from his mouth but he walks towards Azura and hugs her immediately.“Oh my God! Daxon, did something happen? Are you
