Two days earlier.Monte Carlo is devastated. There is an ire in his eyes because it seems like history so desperately wants to repeat itself but he will not allow that. After rebuking Alexa for even imagining a life with his nemesis son, Monte feels the need to do something about it. Usually, he is patient with his plans but he has lost it.This time, he is not about to sit down and let history repeat itself. So, he believes Austin has passed the prior test of giving him another chance. A knock comes on the door of his office.“Bring him in.” He says, unable to stay in a place and keep steady. The Winters are a curse and he is not about to allow his daughter to get close to the evidence of a broken love.Austin Limbert enters into the room, he has been waiting for Monte Carlo to call him back after utilizing the chance he gave to him. With his head bowed to the ground, he waits to be spoken to. “How bad do you want to replace Daxon Winter and become the new heir of Bright group.” Mont
In the grandstands and along the rail, the spectators of the horse racing competition are buzzing with excitement. The atmosphere is electric, with the crowd eagerly awaiting the start of the race. The cameras are rolling, the people at home are glued to their television, waiting in anticipation for their favorite player. Once again, each CEOs, whom are more than dozens, are introduced by the media to the spectators and to the viewers at home. As the horses are led out of the paddock, Daxon, along with others mount their horses at the starting gate. At the starting gate, the jockeys who are also the competitors receive final instructions from the gate attendants. They are reminded of the rules and the guidelines on how to maintain a fair and safe start.The tension in the air from each contestant is an adjective but the spectators can see it. Due to the presence of Daxon Winter, the heir of Bright group in their midst, the rest of the contestants are bent on winning so that the atte
After the incident, the contestants walk over to each other and offer a handshake. Austin is at the center, holding his trophy but not a lot of people are praising him. With eyes that move like dagger, he turns to the side when Daxon expresses his hands for a shake. As his jaw tightens—he fixes a smile on his face and shakes Daxon for the camera. The heir of Bright group gazes at Austin piercingly, his eyes are like two smoldering embers in the darkness and he knows what happened to his horse was no accident.After the end of that game, Lewis, Michael and Azura walk towards him after watching from the sidelines. “You could have gotten hurt! Are you okay?” Azura asks, holding Daxon to look at his body if he is injured anywhere.“Sir, we should still check you out? Are you sure you are not feeling pain at all?” Michael asks and Daxon opens his mouth to reply.“Young master, I told you not to do this…I told you it wasn’t needed.” Lewis says, obstructing Daxon all over again.“Guys! I’
“What do you mean by that?” Daxon asks, returning to Austin who is glad that what he said set the heir of Bright group off in shock. It is about time he said something that would hurt his moral esteem and everything else.Austin wants to pull Daxon’s wall down but he needs to do it at the right time. If he deviates from the plan, it would make Monte Carlo not trust him anymore and he still needs the man. “I mean…your father seems to have some background reputation of being an unruly person when he was younger. So, if I were you, I don’t know…I would have a humble gait because who knows, your father may have twenty more sons.” Austin says, to make it seem like he is joking and fooling around.“Is spouting trash your greatest hobby? Monte Carlo has you on a leash like some mountain goat, chasing after a family that can crush you at one go. I heard he has a son overseas, why do you think he won’t use his own son to fight his battle?” Daxon asks, tucking his hands into his pocket and Aus
Daxon grabs Austin by the shirt and glares at him. Fortunately, they are away from the peering cameras which would have taken a shot of this particular scene. Austin puts his head back and begins to laugh—he has already said what he wanted to say to Azura. And from the reaction on Azura’s face, he believes he was right. Lewis walks into the scene and immediately he pushes Austin off so that a fight will not break between them. The media could easily catch a whiff of it—they came here to bring good reviews to his image and if this battle between he and Austin continues—they may leave with a worse one.“Fine! Your bodyguard is here to save you, once again? The last time, it was you who saved him.” Austin says, referring to the incident where he sent gangsters to stab Daxon. By his words, Daxon Winter is enraged with anger and he knocks Austin to the floor. Immediately, Austin's mouth begins to bleed and his nose is full of blood. Daxon swings his hand for another punch but Lewis phys
Azura cannot believe what Austin told her. What did he mean by that? Why did he tell her that Bright group is built on illegal conduct? What did he mean by Christopher Winter being an underground business man? And after saying all of that, he proceeded to say that she should run far away from Daxon if she didn’t want to end in a pool of blood. As Daxon enters the resting area, he can see the distress on her face. For a slight second, he believed Austin kissed her but it doesn’t seem to be the case. He lost his temperament and now, he is ashamed to ask her what really happened. Azura turns to his side and their eyes meet. “How much longer will the chopper take? It has begun to rain, the weather seems bad.” She says, choosing to not raise any question about what Austin told her. Daxon walks over to her.“Aren’t you going to ask me why Austin and I fought? Did that seem normal to you?” Daxon asks and Azura blinks multiple times.“Um…if I don’t know it’s because you didn’t tell me and I
“You are wrong, Daxon. I don’t want you. It’s my boss who wants you and he asked me to get rid of anything in the way.” Michael says, clocking the gun at Lewis.“They are not in the way! We have all surrendered, don’t pull the trigger. Don’t put yourself in a war that doesn’t directly concern you.” Daxon says, trying to talk to him and waste time.He is looking for the perfect scenario where he would be able to grab the gun from Michael. And as long as he continues to talk to him, Daxon believes his defenses will be down.“Do you really think you can waste time by talking to me?” Michae says, taking out a system machine from his pocket. It is a machine that controls all the door and security alerts. If he hits the button, all the doors will be open for Austin Limbert and the gangsters.“Don’t do that, Michael!” Lewis says, his eyes widen at the security machine that Michael is about to press.“Don’t take it personally. We are all working for different sides and according to the number
In the windy atmosphere, the heir of Bright group looks back as water splashes in the air as they run. Every step he takes seems to crackle with energy and anticipation. The atmosphere is charged with a sense of urgency, and they can feel the adrenaline coursing through their veins. It is dark, they are not sure where to turn. Azura falls in the mud, coughing excessively due to pressure of the way they ran. Daxon lifts her up, and she finds it hard to stand on her own due to the exhaustion.“We are going to make it out of here, I promise.” He says to her while Lewis is trying to get a hold of the service that is supposed to bring the chopper.“Yes, can’t you hear me, we are tapped in a blister! They are people on us and we have fled from our suite. We got into the woods and we are not sure what to do next.” Lewis says, hoping the caller on the phone can understand what he’s saying.“Copy!” The caller responds despite the jammed network and relief spreads through their heart.“We have
