Meanwhile, Jason exited the building without incident. No sudden ambush, or last-minute change of plans from Logan. Just silence.

He slid into the Benz, shut the door, and exhaled slowly. One hand on the wheel, the other tapping his phone screen. He had another task to handle. He had to call Jamal White and instruct him to help Smith Royale out of their financial situation.

Jason pulled up the contact and hit Call. Jamal wasn’t just some businessman; he managed several high-tier corporations under the Eclipse Syndicate’s umbrella. If anyone could make moves quietly and fast, it was him.

The line rang once before it clicked. “Jason Wolfe,” Jamal’s voice answered smoothly.

“I need you to push an investment into Smith Royale,” Jason said without introduction. “Can you use one of the shell companies? Make it look like a partnership, something clean and mutually beneficial.”

“Sure, I'll get to that. I'll have one of my associates reach out to Smith Royale.” There was a beat of silence. Th

    The Smith villa was a place of happiness as laughter and clinking glasses filled the grand hall. The air buzzed with relief, a sharp contrast to the weeks of tension and uncertainty that had hung like a storm cloud over the family. For the first time in what felt like forever, the Smiths were celebrating.Servants bustled in and out with trays of champagne, while Seraphina held court in the center of the room, basking in the glow of her own triumph.“This is only the beginning,” she declared, her voice carrying over the chatter. “With Sterling Enterprises backing us, Smith Royale will rise higher than ever.”“Higher than ever,” Charlie echoed, raising his glass again—his third toast of the hour. The room erupted in cheers, glasses clinking in agreement. For most, tonight was a victory worth savoring.But not for everyone.Two women sat in silence, their smiles thin and brittle, in fact one of them wasn’t smiling at all: Vanessa and Morgana were both drowning in dark thoughts, though

    Vanessa skimmed the final page one last time, the words blurring for a moment as the realization of what she was about to do settled over her. Then, with a steady breath, she picked up the pen. Her hand didn’t tremble, not outwardly—but her pulse thudded in her ears as she signed her name in bold ink.Done. The deal that will change everything for Smith Royale was sealed.Across the table, Marcus smiled widely as he pulled the documents towards himself and then he added his own signature. After he was done, he looked to Vanessa and said, “Congratulations, Ms. Smith,” he said smoothly. “Welcome to Sterling Enterprises’ circle of partners.”“Thank you,” Vanessa replied, her voice composed though her chest fluttered with barely contained relief. She didn’t care anymore who had helped smith royale, Jason or Cassius, what mattered now was that, they were safe from bankruptcy.Marcus rose from his chair, buttoning his suit jacket with effortless elegance. “Before you go,” he added, his ton

    Cassius shamelessly lied to Seraphina and Charlie.“Oh, is that so?” Seraphina asked.“Yes,” Cassius replied with an easy smile.Seraphina’s expression brightened, her eyes gleaming with hope. She was elated—convinced that Cassius had pulled it off. To her, he was the perfect future son-in-law: wealthy, well-connected, and considerate enough to use his influence to help her struggling family.What more could a mother ask for? He was the one for Vanessa and she didn't care what her daughter or anyone else thought, but she would make sure that Cassius would be the one who got to be the son in-law instead of a bum like Jason.Little did she, or anyone else, know he was lying through his perfect white teeth.“Cassius, you're such a lifesaver.”He laughed lightly, his tone just modest enough to seem sincere. “Well… I did say I could get it done.”He was lying, calmly, confidently, without hesitation. But what choice did he have? Telling the truth now would just ruin everything. Worse, it w

    The phone rang twice before a crisp voice answered."Marcus Gunn speaking.".“Hey, Marcus! It's Cassius Devereux.”“Who?Charlie and Seraphina exchnaged a worried look. If they were friends, why was Marcus being rude towards him?Cassius let out a laugh, so that it would sound like him and Marcus were really friends and the latter was just pretending to not know him. “Haha, you're always funny…. How are you, my friend?"There was a pause. A long, uncomfortable pause. Frowning, Cassius immediately removed the phone from the speaker and pressed it to his ear. "Cassius Devereux?" Marcus's voice was cold, almost confused. "I'm sorry, do we know each other?"Cassius's smile faltered slightly. But when he noticed Seraphina and Charlie looking at him with uncertain expressions, he laughed and said, "Of course it's me! Buddy, how could you forget me, when we play golf together every Sunday at the country club. Just last week you were telling me about Sterling's expansion plans—""I think you

    He placed a reassuring hand on Vanessa's arm, letting his fingers linger longer than necessary.Vanessa felt a surge of discomfort.But not Cassius. He knew exactly what he was doing. The brief contact sent a jolt through him, he was enjoying it.He then went on about his connections. One would say he was bragging, but to him? He was just simply letting them know. Letting Vanessa know that she was missing out. "I've known Chairman Marcus Gunn for years. Our families have been business partners for decades. Marcus and my father went to Harvard together. We've been close ever since."Seraphina's eyes widened with hope. After hearing that his dad and the chairman were friends, she looked impressed. ‘This is exactly what we need. Jason, you can't compete with this man,’ she thought.Cassius had visited their home often enough to be considered a friend, yet he’d never mentioned his background. Now, it only made him seem more perfect for Vanessa.And it sounded like he was offering to help

    His leather shoes clicked confidently across the marble floor, and his expensive gold watch caught the light as he approached.Everyone turned towards him."Oh, hey Cassius ," Vanessa replied, though her voice lacked its usual warmth. Cassius was well known to the Smith family. He had been over at their house on a few occasions.Mostly because he had been relentlessly pursuing Vanessa for months, though he'd briefly tried his luck with Morgana Smith before realizing she wasn't worth his time. His interest in Vanessa, however, had only intensified since learning of her engagement to some nobody.Seraphina had a knowing smile across her face after seeing him. She'd always hoped Cassius would sweep Vanessa off her feet, he was everything Jason wasn't. Coming here could turn out to be a blessing in disguise, after running into him. Cassius Devereux was the kind of man who commanded attention simply by existing. At thirty-two, he was the youngest partner at Devereux & Associates, one of
