“Daxon!” Azura says, throwing her arms around him in fear of her life that seemingly flashed before her eyes. Daxon’s facial expression is showing genuine concern and empathy to Azura’s reaction. His brows are slightly furrowed as he tries to understand her distress. At the intersection of the busy traffic lane, Daxon takes her into the car and Lewis drives off from the honking vehicles behind them.Inside the car, Azura is hysterical at how close the stalker made his way towards her and at the same time, puzzling Veronica’s threat together. She is completely puzzled by how her own sister would try to harm her.“Azura? Are you okay?” Daxon asks and she wipes her eyes dry. He chooses his words carefully, ensuring that they are both empathetic, so as not to overwhelm her further. Her body language is typically frantic and her pale hands tremble.“Azura, take deep breaths!” Daxon says, and she softly breathes, holding her chest.“I thought someone was following me.” She replies, looking
It is eight in the morning and Veronica finds her way downstairs due to the constant buzzing of her phone. She opens the door of the house and Matthew Creed swathes in like a raging storm. Veronica runs after him and he heads into her room.He is faster than her when he heads into the room and slowly he fixes his camera before she can file in. Veronica rushes in and hits him.Slap!“What do you think you are doing!? If my mother catches a glimpse of you in this house, she’ll kill you. Have you forgotten that you are the man who took our money and turned us into nothing!?” Veronica says.“I have been buzzing your phone all week! I helped you get to this stage of the plan. The least you can do is to reply to my goddamn damn messages!” Matthew says, pushing her back and gritting his teeth. “ I don’t owe you anything Matthew. I am the one who went into Daxon’s hotel room, staged it and made it feel like something happened between us. However, you on the other hand made sure to gird up y
Just like Azura planned, Matthew sent a video showing the conversation he shared with Veronica, where she confesses and also proves that she isn’t pregnant. Finally, after what seemed like a cat chase, Daxon can finally take a deep breath. It feels good to know that nothing happened between him and Veronica.Now, the time to make Veronica pay for all her crimes has come once and for all. As if it wasn’t enough that she married him as a damn bet and mistreated him throughout the scopes of their marriage. After watching the video on his phone, Daxon orders Lewis to the nearest police station to file a case against her, and Matthew Creed handing over all the proof.But first, he wants Veronica to think that she has somehow won before he makes everything crash around her. It is the same thing that happened to him when they were married and he realized that their relationship was nothing…it was built on the foundation of dust. So, at the same time, to prove this father that Veronica is a
Daxon and his father’s conversation is cut shut by the arrival of Veronica who fled like a gust of wind the moment she received an invite to the mansion. Did her fate finally give her the chance to have a better life? She couldn’t sleep or think all day, all her thoughts were gathered on how to become the future daughter in law of Bright group, nothing else.Veronica’s mouth is opened in awe at the interior of the living room which is a grand and palatial space, designed with opulence. The designated butler offers her refreshments and she turns, twisting her neck, trying to take all of the glances.There is an elaborate crystal chandelier on the feeling that casts a warm and inviting glow throughout the room. The seating area where Veronica crosses her legs is a masterpiece of design, with plush, oversized sofas. An evil smile grows on her face because she can imagine Cecelia, Azura, Matthew and everyone who has ever wronged her—begging on the floor. There are custom made art pieces
All thanks to Azura’s wits, Matthew Creed and Veronica have been sentenced to jail time and won’t be coming out anytime soon. Today is a very important day for Bright group because Daxon will be meeting one of their largest investors, Nexus group who is entering into a partnership with Bright group for a business project. The moment Daxon enters into the company, there are camera lights flashing at his face. Like a swamp of bees, a crowd of reporters and media personnel buzz around him. He is exuding an air of authority and confidence. With a tailored suit and one hand in his pocket, Daxon commands attention without uttering a word. Microphones and cameras swerve to get a word out of him but Lewis is present as a shield that blocks the swarming.As they walk, the reporters fire questions like about the partnership with Nexus group and at the same time, they ask him question about who will take over due to the rumors of retirement of Christopher Winter, his father.“Mr Winter!”“Mr Wi
“I think you are mistaken but I don’t know anything about the mafian world and neither does my father. You must have confused him with someone else?” Daxon says, he doesn’t allow the accusation to fly.“Isn’t your father Christopher Winter?” Austin says, crossing his legs and maintains a good eye contact with Daxon.“Yes, a legitimate business owner who isn’t a mafia king or ruler of your mafian world. I hope this is the last time you mention this to me.” Daxon replies, his face and voice is resolute. The restaurant is a stage of tension and competition, charged with an electric aura that's palpable to anyone who passes them. Dimly lit, it is an intense showdown between two powerful men seated at opposite ends of a lavishly set table.“I can’t apologize for something that is true, Daxon Winter. You probably have no idea about it yet. If I were you, I would ask my father and if he tells you that I’m mistaken…I will apologize for mistaking you for someone else.”Daxon’s eyes sharpens i
“I, Limbert and a few others worked for the corporation and we got promoted. Over the years, I gained the trust of the most powerful man in the corporation and I told him about my dream to own the largest commerce company in the city.”“We called him Monte Carlo, and he controlled everything around the black world. At the same time; he believed in my dream and gave me a chance to fuel it. Monte Carlo gave me a nickname or what we called a Code name; the Mount.” Christopher says.Daxon’s face is in an expression that is not palpable, he didn’t think there would come a time where his father would confess to having dealings with illegal aspects of the world. “Dad, how did you leave then? Tell me that you at least left and never turned your back!” Daxon asks.“Yes, Monte Carlo helped my dream and with the money, I left for the state. I removed myself from the corporation emotionally, physical and financially. I paid him every single amount that was owed.” “They didn't want to let me g
Monte Carlo is another word for ruthless. He is the most powerful man in the black world who never releases people who join the corporation. When Christopher Winter left, he made a vow that was carved in stones to find Christopher and ruin everything around him—including his son and wife.As the Don of the black world, he is the ultimate authority within the organization, there was no way to escape from the corporation unless he released one himself. Though Christopher Winter was a smart man who found a way to block him completely, Monte Carlo waited for a better time to take his stance.He commands a high degree of respect and obedience from the low pioneers of the organization and through Nexus group, one of his many vast corporations, he decided to gain access to Daxon Winter. As a merciless mafia, he knew how much Christopher wanted to protect his son and late wife. Years have passed and now, Monte Carlo is ready to strike because Christopher has let his guard down and has been r
