It was the tallest building in the world.
A token of pride to whoever owned it.
An industrial empire that stole selfishly in the name of success.
A giant that overshadowed its competitors’ comparatively smaller establishments under the risen sun.
And everyone knew whose devilish strategies it came from…
From the topmost loft of the building stood a man with a glass of red wine in his hand. He was smirking; not at the taste of the fine wine but at the misery of his rivals.
"Master Sean, everything happens at your will."
"I know. And that makes everything else boring."
"Seventy-two percent of the overall economic businesses of the world are already under your name and only the remaining twenty-eight percent are still government property. Shouldn’t we acquire all of it?"
A dart arrow swished through the air and landed at the heart of the dart board.
"I don’t think we should. It will be no fun if I gain all of it. Let them grow it and if they make it, I will cut them again,” he smiled at the thought of his game plan.
Sean Herald.
He’s the owner of Herald Monopolies of Businesses and of most businesses in the world; all sorts of transportation, entertainment companies, real estates, banks, technological and research facilities, academic institutions, and many more to specify. Even the mafia was within his authoritarian powers.
No one ever imagined that the commoner he used to be would rise as the richest person in the world from the rags of his sweets processing start-up.
His multi-trillion mercantile business started from his interest in a board game called Monopoly. But the game that he used to play in a little rectangular box became a real life gamble. He grew bakeries, confectioneries, and pastry institutions until his monopoly business dominated the top level for an uncontested seventeen years up present.
He called his strategy Monopoly Tricks and he was the zero-sum player.
He bought businesses that were nearly bankrupt and revived them. In most cases, he himself would move secretly to drive other businesses to bankruptcy and tempt them to sell it to him no matter how low his bargain was.
A huge Monopoly board game was placed at the heart of his workplace. It was his real wealth map. It was a strategy that made him devilishly powerful. But although his reputation instilled fears to most, his monopolized businesses were managed by grateful and loyal secretaries. Under the secretaries was the hierarchy of board directors and presidents ruling the company’s numerous branches.
Those that tricked him were easily tracked and punished under the ubiquitous influence of the Herald Groups. And the payment was always a life. This agreement was known to anyone prior to recruitment. Each employee was aware of the odds beforehand, so unfaithfulness is a death wish each makes in his own volition. Through this, nobody dared to cheat Sean Herald.
Herald Monopolies was the biggest contributor to the economy of the world. It can either raise or break the economy of a country. But despite this power, Sean forbade his people to boast and abuse their position in the company. He wanted everybody to be treated fairly and whoever would break this law should settle in exchange of his own life.
Only Sean Herald could use that power. Everybody knew that name but nobody outside his trusted circle really knew what he looked like.
He only met his executive secretaries, trustworthy counsels, and his private bodyguards. He was sometimes in disguise as a customer and often an ordinary man freely roaming the world. Not even his father, who was a commoner, knew of Sean’s true identity.
His father was a morally decent man who taught him never to revenge, for revenge can only kill the beautiful person inside an individual. Sean abided by his father’s beliefs and perspective. He became a just and empathetic man. But he was silently thirsty to destroy the kin that ruined his own family.
So he lived two lives at once.
An ordinary man with a father living in the countryside.
And a rich man who waited to revenge.
Sean collected influence until he’s ready to strike the Madrid Empire, an *untouchable that no country ever planned to war against. He knew the empire was under the support of the illegal industry, a world that could be bigger than the supremacy he made legally.
But he waited.
Until he could finally rage war against his only enemy.
*definition not the noun pertaining to the lowest caste in India.

(Sena POV)“Hey, Sean! Come back here! Don't tire me out. It's too early in the morning for me, and I'm on my period! "My ghad. What kind of trick you're doing on me Sean to make me pissed like this. Also, he was aware that I have my menstruation today but what he wants is to make me chase him and be bullied by him. You're too cruel Sean!It's a good thing Bloody Mary isn't causing me too much pain, but I can feel my lower body weakening."Sean! I'm ti— Aww." Which causes me to writhe in pain.Oh no... What is this? My abdomen is suddenly throbbing with pain! Dysmenorrhea!Oh, bloody Mary, don't make me regret thinking I wouldn't feel the pain of menstruation.I put one hand in my stomach. And this is what they called dysmenorrhea. Severe and frequent menstrual cramps and pain during your period.Awww... This is excruciating.I close my eyes and feel the pain's presence. My dea
(Luis POV)Sean's men stood in front of the trash protester who had been sent here by my father. According to my calculations, Levi must pay for nearly fifty people faking the protest today. Tsk. And I believe there are a lot of them if Sean doesn't do anything to reduce their number. My stepbrother knows how to play the dirty game of the Madrid Elder. He used to do it for almost a handful of years.When they became aware of me. I knew as soon as I heard their voices that they recognized me for who I truly was. I turned away from them, and Sean's men were alarmed when those people, particularly the media, approached me.It is my father's trash, and I have a responsibility to take care of it as his son. This is the responsibility of a good son and a man of initiative.I dialed my secretary's number."Hiro.""Sir Luis," he asserts.“The Madrid E
(Luis POV)Hmmm. I'm intrigued. How many times have they exchanged saliva?Isn't that disgusting? Or am I just cynical?Sena persisted in her belief that she should triumph over Sean. If not, she is a loser and she wouldn't let it happen."It continues to affect me as a productive citizen of our country.As you may be aware, there is a scarcity of creative artists in our country. Specifically, my qualifications as a hard worker and a kind person. Do you disagree with me, Sean?"That made me smile because it's true.We can be defined by two things: our patience when we have nothing and our attitude when we have everything.Sena remains the same, even though Sean gives her everything, and nothing has changed in her; I am proud of her.Sean, on the other hand, responds with a smirk."Kind and hardworking... where are those, Sena?" he
(Luis POV)“How dare you, Luis. She’s, my wife. Never, ever dare or else— Aw!”Hahaha. Sena hit Sean on his shoulder, which makes me smile. It's as if I'm watching a comedy-drama where I want them to stay happy and not even a single storm come into their lives. They are an absolutely wonderful couple.How dare they plan to devastate and harm this good couple."You seriously underestimate me!And you do italways on a daily basis! ""Ouch, Sena,""You didn't value me as your wife. Oh yeah, you have everything, and I am nothing in you! You treat me like a hen, and after I lay an egg, I have to give up my time to hatch your eggs! You're far too cruel."Wait, why is my brain suddenly turning green? Is Sena alluding to Sean's egg? Ahahaha.Which I can't help but make a laugh at my Li
(Luis POV)"Stop it, Sean. You don't have to worry about my safety if that's only your concern. How could I help you if I only stay in the comfort zone you've given me? How do I become productive?"She gave us a forceful laugh."My hardworking neurons want to return to be productive again.""Your words are also meaningless," Sean added.I'm sure he has a lot of bullets in his arsenal for making Sena irritated and annoyed. I'm just smiling at them, the way they're conversing. They are not your typical sweet couple, especially my stepbrother."Your words are causing me pain, Sean!"My cousin is about to get up, but Sean has managed to keep her seat."However, if you improve a little, Sena, you will most likely be welcome in my company."Sena is a woman who should not get involved in business matters, especially when it comes to making a decision in a
(Luis POV)Cecile's expression reveals the question she wanted to ask: why should I be the one to be grateful that it should her boss to do that?But in the end, she nodded at me when the couple approached us.Sena's face...I'm not sure what they were talking about that made Sena pout like a duckI give them a friendly smile.I took the cup of coffee I had been busy making while talking to Cecile. I took a sip and watched how Sean have a silly conversation with his wife.Sena took notice of me."Tell me boss Luis, did you two just happen to meet in the park? How dare Sean not even wake me up. I wished I have come with him. I want to breathe fresh air too.""You can't come with me; I'd rather not wake you up if all I get is a beating from an angry wild duck mom who has disturbed her sleep. Tss."Sean reacted immediately to what Sena to
