From Trash to Titan Chapter 153
The journals were stacked to one side. He had been putting off reading them properly. Not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't want to read them and get emotional or sad.However today he was bored enough to pick them up. He picked up the first one and opened it. Inside the front page, in handwriting that was neat but not careful, someone had written a date from twenty nine years ago.Maxwell stared at the date for a moment.Twenty nine years ago, his father had been roughly the same age Maxwell was now, or more accurately 27 years old. He turned the page and started reading.The food arrived forty minutes later and Maxwell hadn't moved.The entries were not dramatic. That was the first thing that struck him. His father didn't write like a person who knew he was going to die young and leave things unfinished. He wrote like a person who expected to have time. Observations about the business, frustrations with suppliers, occasional notes about books he was reading or thing

The front door clicked shut, leaving the three of them in the quiet of their small living room. For a long moment, nobody said a word. The atmosphere felt heavy, like the threat Bron had made was still here in the corner of the room.Hazel sat there, her mind racing through numbers. She was already calculating how much of her first paycheck could go toward the debt and how quickly she could scrape the rest together. She needed to move fast, before Bron decided to do more than just call.After a couple of minutes, her dad finally spoke."I’m sorry," he said. His voice sounded thin and full of regret. He reached out and took his wife’s hand, his fingers shaking slightly.Hazel felt a sharp ache in her chest. Seeing him look so defeated was worse than the phone call. "Dad, don't do that. Don't apologize.""I have to," he insisted. "I borrowed that money because we were desperate, but I shouldn't have. I’ve put this whole family in danger.""You didn't put anyone in anything," Hazel said

Maya looked at her. Then the corner of her mouth curved into a mischievous smile. "You're happy," Maya said with a teasing undertone in her voice. "Yes," Hazel said simply. "My day went well. I attended an executive meeting. I think I'm allowed to be happy about that.""You are," Maya agreed. She looked away, ostensibly at the street ahead of them. "Definitely. That's definitely why you're smiling."Hazel glanced at her. And she could tell that Maya was doing her thing again, that she had been doing a lot lately, ever since that day at the lake. "What does that mean?""Nothing," Maya said pleasantly. "Just that you're smiling. Which is nice. Very nice." She paused just long enough. "Are you sure it's just the meeting though?"Hazel stopped walking and expression darkened, her eyes narrowing as she gave Maya a disapproving look. Maya took two more steps before she turned around, her expression the picture of innocence. “Are you sure it doesn't have to do with a certain Sterling?”"Re

Maxwell's expression didn't change dramatically. But something behind his eyes did. Actually he was already exhausted that Isobelle was still pushing this on him. And the even more exhausting part was that the person she was trying to set him up with didn't even like him at all. And neither did he in any romantic way. At this point it felt like Victoria and her were competing, trying to see who between them would find him a wife first. It was something he didn't agree to at the moment. If he will ever get married, he wanted to do it by himself and not because it was set up by someone."Isobelle," he said."Camille asked about you," Isobelle continued, completely ignoring his tone. "Just casually. Nothing serious. She mentioned your name and I thought that was interesting considering how she feels about you."Maxwell paused, surprised that Camille would speak about him. But then he thought: it makes sense, that she would speak about him, to vent after he annoyed her by accusing her

Some time passed with everyone in the room debating. And Maxwell was still quiet.Eventually the debate hit a wall. Everyone was talking over each other and nobody was winning.Victoria tapped her pen on the table, silencing the room. Then she looked straight at Maxwell."Maxwell," she said. "You've been quiet. What do you think?"The room went still. Hazel felt a cringe coming on. She expected him to stammer or say something safe like, "I agree with both sides."That thought actually made her want to laugh before he had even actually said it. ‘Please say that. I'm dying to see you make a fool of yourself,’ she thought to herself, looking at him with an expectation.Maxwell leaned forward. The change in his energy was sudden. He didn't look like a ghost anymore.The truth was that he had only been quiet because this was a very serious matter and he'd rather listen and think about what was best for Sterling Industries than debate people."The fear of glitches is real," he said. His voi

Victoria looked at Julian, her expression businesslike. "It's serious enough that we can't wait until Monday," she said. "Let's wait for the others. Then Natasha will explain how much trouble we're actually in."Trouble?Maxwell was now concerned after hearing that. What trouble could Sterling Industries possibly be in? To the rest of the world, Sterling Industries was an invincible fortress, a company worth hundreds of billions. He hadn't thought it could be in trouble.But Maxwell wasn't naive. He had seen companies fall before. He knew that the bigger they were, the harder they hit the ground, and the more people they crushed on the way down.As the future owner, the pressure of Victoria's words settled on him differently than it did on the others. This wasn't just a corporate problem to solve; this was his legacy, and it was under threat before he'd even fully stepped into it. He shifted in his seat, his earlier calm replaced by a cold and sharp focus. He needed to hear every word

The next morning, Maxwell was waiting in the lobby when Kieran pulled up at exactly 7 AM.He climbed into the passenger seat. "Morning.""Morning," Kieran said, pulling into traffic. Maxwell looked at him. "Where are we going?""Sterling Manufacturing. One of our production facilities about an hou

When Maxwell burst back inside the building, the first thing that hit him first was then heat. Even in the hallway, away from the actual fire, the air was thick and hot. It burned his throat with every breath. The wet shirt helped, but not much.Maxwell kept low, moving fast. The smoke was worse i

Maxwell ignored Julian and his hostility and kept his eyes on Victoria. "Cedric called Frank a dishonest pig right before he stormed out of his office. Then ten minutes later, the section Cedric was working in explodes. That's not a coincidence.""Cedric could've been upset about anything," Victori

Kieran was quiet for a moment, like he was deciding how much to say."Your father got into a fight once," Kieran finally said. "At a charity gala. Black tie event, everyone who mattered was there."Maxwell looked at him, confused, "A fight?""Yeah." Kieran smiled slightly. "Don't worry, he wasn't a
