Once Marco was gone, and the office door clicked shut, Titus leaned back in his chair. His smile faded, and his face grew serious. He turned his chair slightly, reached into his coat pocket, and pulled out his phone. He dialed a number without looking, as he already knew it by heart.

The phone rang once… twice… then Victor answered.

“Titus?” Victor’s deep voice came through.

“It’s done,” Titus said calmly. “The financial assistant, Marco Thompson, arrived early. He signed everything. He’s already started working.”

There was a pause on the other end. Then Victor spoke, his voice was low but pleased. “That’s good. That’s very good.”

Titus could almost hear the smile in his voice.

Victor continued, “Listen carefully. There’s no time to waste. I want Marco to begin work on the Cayman channel. Make sure he’s handling only what we allow him to see; just the outer layer. He must start organizing transfers by today. Get him to sort and schedule dummy accounts for the first batch.”

  • FASHION AND CRIME   Chapter 43: Transaction of Fates

    Zagaff walked slowly across his home office, one hand in his pocket, the other brushing over the edge of his desk as he paced. His sharp eyes stared at the floor, lost in thought. His mind was still stuck on just one name; Sylvania Scarlet.He stopped by the window, looking out at the garden below, though he wasn’t really seeing it. His jaw tightened as he remembered something. The terrible news. The kind that had shook the whole city.The wedding heist.He let out a low, bitter sigh and shook his head. “She didn’t deserve that.”The memory of it burned in him; how her special day turned into chaos. Armed men, stolen treasures, and broken dreams. A woman like Sylvania… wept tears for something she didn’t deserve.Zagaff clenched his fists slowly. “That was no random robbery,” he said to himself. “Victor.”He spat the name like a curse. If there was one thing Zagaff hated, it was men who hurt women for power. And he was sure Victor had a hand in that heist.“I hope Nicholas crushes him

    Victor was alone again, staring down at the sealed black box on his desk. His fingers tapped slowly on the wood as he whispered to himself, “Your move, Nicholas.”The room was quiet except for the soft ticking of the clock on the wall. His eyes stared hard at the box in front of him; at the dagger, the bullet, and the ace of spades.He leaned back in his chair, one hand rubbing his chin, deep in thought. The fire wasn’t enough. Not for a man like Nicholas Amaro. That would only get his attention. Victor wanted more. He wanted Amaro to feel it.He grabbed a notepad from the drawer and started writing fast and messy.“Hit him where it hurts.”He tapped the pen against the page. “Not just his business,” he muttered. “His pride and his people.”His eyes narrowed.“Find out who his suppliers are,” he said to himself. “Block the ports. Cut off his shipments before they even land.”Then he paused, thinking deeper.“What about his man, Matteo?” he muttered, snapping his fingers. “That bodygua

    The laughter slowly faded. Macholo stood up from his seat, a serious look settling on his face as he glanced around at his men.“Alright,” he said. “celebration’s over. Time to get back to business.”Everyone went quiet, ready to listen. The mood shifted from playful to serious in seconds.For the past few weeks, they had been running several hustles; moving counterfeit designer goods across the border, collecting debt from nightclub owners who were late on payments, and securing a new supply route through the docks. It hadn’t been easy, but things were starting to fall into place.Yeyo and Marvin stepped forward, each holding a small notebook. They looked proud.Yeyo spoke first, flipping his notebook open. “The luxury copies we sent to Villa Bay last week? Sold out in three days. The boutique owner says she wants more.”Marvin nodded. “And the new guy at the dock? He’s loyal. He made sure our shipment got through without a single check. We didn’t lose a thing.”Macholo’s lips curved

    Maxine spun in her chair, curiosity written all over her face. She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and looked up at Leo.“What exactly are we sending?” she asked.Leo didn’t answer right away. He rubbed his chin, his eyes dark with thought. “Something that looks like a gift,” he said slowly, “but smells like a warning.”Dallas leaned back in his chair with a half-smirk. He tapped his pen on the desk before speaking. “We should send him a dagger, a bullet, and an ace of spades.”Maxine blinked. “Wait…what?”Leo turned around and looked at Dallas. “Go on.”He spoke slowly, clearly thinking every word through. “The dagger means betrayal. He turned on us. The bullet means we’re ready to fight. And the ace of spades…” he paused, then gave a grim smile. “That means death is coming. The final card.”For a moment, no one said a word.Then Leo leaned back in his chair, eyes locked on something far beyond the warehouse walls. “That’s strong,” he said quietly. “Symbolic. He’ll under

    Kamala drove into La Villa Avenue some few minutes later. Despite the calm appearance, but one could even tell that there was something going on. Several police vehicles were parked along the street, their blue and red lights flashing slightly. Uniformed officers moved about, talking to each other or checking the area. Some of them carried handcuffs and batons on their belts, while others had rifles slung over their shoulders. A few were stationed near the mansion where the shootouts had taken place, keeping an eye on the surroundings.Kamala parked her car at the far end of the street, ensuring she wouldn’t block any of the ongoing police activity. She stepped out, carrying her black bag and walked toward the mansion.As she approached the house, one of the police officers stationed near the gate noticed her. He was a tall man with a serious face, wearing a bulletproof vest and holding a notepad.“Excuse me, ma’am,” the officer said, stepping forward to block her path. “This is a res
