Bound by Fortune :A Scandalous Heir Billionaire Romance Chapter 301 – The Eternal Flame
The night was a deep, velvet quiet over Manhattan, the sort of silence found only at the summit of the world. Davidson Ekon stood on the terrace of the Ekon-Brian Tower, a crystal glass of amber whiskey held loosely in his hand. The city sprawled beneath him, a galaxy of ambition and light he now commanded, yet for the first time in a decade, the view did not demand anything of him. It simply was. And he was simply in it. This was not the hush of absence but the profound hum of a legacy fulfilled.His thumb stirred involuntarily, caressing the heavy, platinum band on his finger. It was Joe's ring. For a year after his passing, it had felt cold, a relic of loss. Now, it was warm with the heat of his own skin, no longer a token of grief, but a seal of a partnership that had transcended the grave. It was a constant, quiet reminder that he was never truly governing alone.The quiet whisper of the automatic glass door cut through the stillness. He didn't need to turn to know who it was. Th

The last of the gala’s guests had departed, their laughter and the lingering notes of the orchestra swallowed by the consummate silence of New York at its apex. The penthouse below was a beautiful wreckage of crystal and wilting flowers, but Davidson needed distance from the echoes of adulation. He ascended the final, private staircase to the rooftop terrace, the city’s breath—a cool, ceaseless wind—greeting him like an old friend.Below and around him, the empire glittered. A constellation of light and ambition he now commanded. Brian Corp Tower, a spear of obsidian and light, was the heart of it, but the other buildings, the refineries, the data hubs, the distant, silent sites of the Arctic Venture—they were all part of the great, breathing organism he and Joe had built. We're still building.He moved to the railing, his hands resting on the cool, smooth steel. The city’s hum was a physical thing, a vibration that traveled up through the bones of the building and into his own. It wa
Bound by Fortune :A Scandalous Heir Billionaire Romance Chapter 299: The Gala of Crowns
The Ekon-Brian Foundation’s Global Gala was the event of the decade, but the air humming through its soaring, glass-walled venue was not the brittle, predatory energy of old-money galas past. This was a celebration, vibrant and genuine. The guest list was a testament to the new empire: tech visionaries in sleek, minimalist suits stood beside environmental champions in ethically sourced silk; old-world industrial titans, who had once scoffed at Joe Brian’s “sentimental” protégé, now listened with grudging respect to young innovators. The very atmosphere was a declaration: the fortress walls were gone, replaced by bridges.And at the center of it all was Davidson Ekon.He moved through the crowd with an ease that was both regal and approachable. He was no longer the sharp-edged, hungry protégé, nor the embattled heir clutching his contested throne. The man who shook hands and shared laughs was a statesman, his authority woven into the fabric of his being, as natural as breath. The scand

The boardroom, once a chamber of polished obsidian and cold calculation, felt different. The air, usually thick with the tension of profit margins and defensive strategies, was now charged with a different energy—the crackling potential of the new. On the massive screen behind Davidson, the traditional Brian Corp logo, a stylized oil derrick, was shown next to a new, sleek design: a stylized sun cradled within the derrick’s embrace, above the words "Ekon-Brian Energy Consortium."The men and women around the table, the same ones who had weathered Victor Brandt’s coup and Davidson’s scandalous ascent, watched him with a mixture of trepidation and wary curiosity. They had accepted him as Joe’s heir, the man who had saved the empire. Now, he was asking them to follow him into uncharted territory.“For a century,” Davidson began, his voice calm yet resonating with a conviction that silenced the faint rustle of papers, “our identity was forged in the depths of the earth. We powered the wor
Bound by Fortune :A Scandalous Heir Billionaire Romance Chapter 297: The Ghost’s Visit
The weight of the day, a pleasant but persistent exhaustion from the Innovators Fair, had pulled Davidson into a deep, dreamless sleep. Then, the quality of the darkness changed. It was no longer an absence of light, but a substance, a velvet silence that parted seamlessly to form a room.He was in the old library of the Texas estate, the one Joe’s father had built. It smelled of aged leather, fine bourbon, and the faint, clean scent of the oil fields that lingered on Joe’s clothes long after he’d left the derricks behind. A fire crackled in the great stone hearth, though Davidson felt no heat from it.And there, in his favorite worn leather armchair, was Joe.He was as Davidson remembered him from the early days, not the frail shadow illness had claimed two years prior, but in his vibrant prime. His hair was thick and silvered at the temples, his hands—resting on the arms of the chair—were strong, the hands that had built an empire. He was looking at Davidson with a small, quiet smil
Bound by Fortune :A Scandalous Heir Billionaire Romance Chapter 296: The Protégé’s Rebellion
The proposal was brilliant. Arrogant, premature, and strategically reckless, but undeniably brilliant. Julian Thorne, twenty-four years old with a mind like a razor and an ambition that burned almost visibly in his intense gaze, had just presented a plan to spin off Brian Corp’s entire bio-tech research division into a separate, Julian-led entity.Davidson listened, his expression giving nothing away, from the head of the polished conference table. He watched Julian pace, his gestures sharp and expansive, his voice ringing with the unshakable confidence of youth that had never been truly, soul-crushingly tested. The boy was a prodigy, plucked from MIT and nurtured in the company’s most innovative labs. He was, Davidson saw with a painful, unwelcome jolt of recognition, a reflection. Not of the man Davidson was now, but of the man he had been: all hunger and horsepower, chafing at the bit, convinced he saw the future more clearly than those burdened by the past.“The current structure
