“Does this mean you don’t stand a chance with the company?” Grace asks over the phone and Austin’s face hardens as he is reminded of how he lost once again to Daxon.“I will never accept it. If Christopher is acting in guilt, I will make sure I bend his heart and make sure he talks to the shareholders to fix me a spot in the company. I’m coming for Bright group and I will become the new heir.” He says, squeezing his phone tightly. “We have to come up with a plan to get rid of Daxon. As it’s going…he is a very strong competitor and I don’t think you can fulfill your dream while he’s still alive.” Grace says over the phone.“No, mom…we need to keep our hands clean. Have you forgotten that the old man has pretended to not know that I tried to kill Daxon? I cannot go anything that will toss me out of his favor. I just have to blindside Daxon.” Austin says as he is standing outside his car which is parked at the side of the road.From that point, he sights a man wearing a blue shirt and h
“It’s over! Quit trying over and over again! We tried to tell you that you are broke but you don’t believe us. Now, have you seen for yourself!?” Andrew says.Andrew and his friends' booming laughter echoed through the store, the sheer force of it causes others to glance in their direction. With tears streaming down their faces and a hand clamped over his mouth, they struggle to regain his composure. Andrew’s eyes remain fixed on the target of his amusement, Austin. “How is that possible? There is money on my card, enough to buy a house. My father is a billionaire! Have you heard of Christopher Winter!?” Austin says and Andrew finally stops laughing. He gives the sales rep his card and she inserts it into the reader. Automatically, the card is approved and Andrew folds hands in victory.“Did you see that? That is how it’s done. Also, a deal is a deal…go on your knees and lick my shoes.” Andrew says and all the sales rep, customers and withers gather to see what will happen to Austin
The anniversary of Castle hotel is ongoing and everyone is in their best moods. It is a whirlwind of elegance and festivity of important people and their employees. There is a red carpet unfurled at the entrance to welcome distinguished guests and patrons. Balloons and streamers add bursts of color, while the glow of candlelight and twinkling fairy lights infuse the atmosphere with an enchanting aura. Soft, ambient music fills the air, intertwining with the clinking of champagne flutes and the hum of animated conversation. Every guest is comfortable; they have been assigned on decorated tables which showcase exquisite culinary delights, offering a tantalizing array of menus from around the world. At the front, someone just finished giving a speech honoring the Castle hotel's legacy and milestones. It also acknowledges Daxon as the newcomer and a reminder of the establishment motto in serving the people. Daxon is talking to the guests who are recommending him on the wonderful things
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,
