“The world doesn’t kneel to sentiment and compassion, Isabella. It kneels to power.” I balled my trembling fists. “You are not a god! How dare you make assumptions?” “It’s not an assumption. It’s the truth. You have proven it multiple times. Power bends the rules, principles, and even the laws. And what’s behind power?

When you have power you can also gain respect and grace. And this is all about life."

I frowned at Marco's pathetic display. "'Blood and sweat?'" I repeated his words, my voice like a razor's edge. "Marco, is 'busting your ass' what you call shaking down our own people for 'protection' money?" Marco froze, but he still tried to argue. "Don, it wasn't protection money!" he said, waving his hands frantically. "It was an operations fund! For building connections, recruiting top talent! Look, I brought in over a hundred new people in five years..."

Everything looks perfect here. The male journalist leaned in. “So you built an empire out of… favors?” The Boss’s lips curved — not quite a smile, this time. Boss: “Out of leverage. This city doesn’t run on money. Money burns fast. It runs on debt. On knowing who owes who, and what they’re willing to do to erase it. I learned every secret I could. Who was sleeping with whose wife. Who was gambling with money they didn’t have. Who was running guns through whose territory. Information isn’t just power here — it’s currency.”

Bob said moving closer to have a clearer view of the laptop. " See money, " the first one said, pointing at the monitor while mimicking a clown. " what???" Bob shouted covering his mouth with his palm, "how.. how did you get this kind of money?" Bob was confused. " I have access to my boss bank account." " What???" Bob said more shocked. " I want to withdraw money from the account." " Won't he find out?" Bob asked. " How is he going to find out? I quitted a long time ago, how will he find out if you don't tell him. "

VIKTOR Money was a language. The only language I understand. Most people think that having power is most important but they're wrong. Money is the most important to have because with money comes power. And unlike people, money barely lied. Every dollar had a trail. You're looking for someone? Track their credit or debit cards. Go to gas stations where they probably used cash. It is so easy to find someone with their paper trail, except that someone was me. I sat behind my desk, scrolling through reports as the morning sunlight spilled into my office.

On Christmas Eve, my wife, Abigail Balmer, publicly announced her relationship with her forty-ninth boy toy. [My forever love, @Dwayne Porter.] [My forever love, @Abigail Balmer.] Then she turned to comfort me. "He just lost a dare game, that's all. Don't take it to heart." Everyone mocked me as the man who'd married into money, too spineless to fight back. But I never made a scene. What they didn't know was that I'd struck a deal with the System. Every time Abigail was unfaithful, one year of her lifespan would transfer to me. By my count, of the eighty years she should have lived, she now had exactly one left. All I had to do was survive until the New Year, and she'd meet her natu

“Just like you.” He didn’t wait for me to respond. “Seriously,” he said. “What do you actually have?” He tilted his head up, looking at me from his knees. “Other than your family name?” “Influence?” he went on. “Your parents’ money?” He let out another soft laugh. “That’s not power,” he said. “That’s borrowed.” One of my guys cursed under his breath and pressed Carter’s shoulder down harder. Carter grunted, but kept talking.

Money moved before people even realized it was gone. That was Nyxara’s first memory after death—how currency slipped between hands like smoke, indifferent, untethered to conscience or sleep. Money never waited. It didn’t need to. It belonged to whoever could seize it, shape it, and unleash it. Right now, it answered to her. Loyal as a wolf at her heel, and just as hungry.
