"It’s a masterpiece. We’ve moved beyond the era of ownership and into the era of experience. The Syndicate can't steal what they can't define."

I looked at Silas, then at Dante, then at the city that was breathing our legacy. I thought of the words that had led us to this moment the blood, the audits, the betrayals, and the redemptions. I realized then that the book wasn't about us anymore. It was about what we left behind for the ones who would come after the colors faded.

His posture was relaxed in a way it never could have been when he was fighting his brother for control of an empire. "I was looking at the blueprints for Das Vermächtnis des Milliardärs, " Julian . He was standing beside Elena at the window as a breeze drifted in from the harbor. "It’s funny how the 'unplanned legacy' turned out to be the one worth keeping."

The professional ghostwriter was finally the protagonist of her story.

"Sherly, you know how dangerous those events can be. Are you sure it's wise to go?Sherly bit his lower lip. She knows that her father is worried about her. After all, the mafia world isn't as good as what others think. It was chaotic, dirty, and full of blood. She sighed, knowing that her father's concern was justified. She smiled as she said, "I understand, Dad. But attending this ball is crucial for gathering information and maintaining my connections within the underworld." She then leaned back to her chair. "Besides, I leave this open for a long time and let my aid who betrayed me go and have a connection. That was the greatest mistake I've done in my part. So, this time, I wanted to be

Naghihintay kay papa para sunduin ako ngayon. I’m at my last year in junior high school.

Valentina slid into the last stall, locked it, and set the briefcase on the narrow shelf above the toilet. Her hands moved fast, efficient. The key turned with a faint click, and the lid lifted. There it was. The ledger. Black leather, worn at the edges, its pages thick with ink. She flipped it open, her breath catching as names and numbers spilled across the paper: shipments, ports, bribes, politicians bought and paid for—routes carved in blood. It wasn’t just a ledger—it was an empire written in code and ink. Her chest tightened. If Dante wanted this, it wasn’t for leverage—it was for war.

Jarrold stared, utterly thrown. He hadn't expected me to take the bag. In the past, I'd always refused his gifts, terrified he'd think I was some cheap gold digger. When he finally found his voice, he said, "As long as you like it." I looked down at the purse in my hands—a five-figure masterpiece that screamed old money. The longer I stared, the more I liked it. My father was a degenerate gambler. My mother was rotting away in a hospital bed. We were drowning in a sea of debt they didn't know I knew about.

It wasn't a room for holding money; it held something far more valuable – every secret that has held that De Luca empire tighter for generations. After my family had been slaughtered eight years ago, I searched the burned estate; some had been burned, some recovered, some were not. I wrote what burned out from memory – all the rules my father forced into my skull, all the penalties, punishments, and laws they lived by. Nothing was left to perish. I walked towards the final shelf. On it rested nothing but three books. Old, dusty, and unmolested. My fingers brushed along the cracked leather as I ran through the lot, stopping at one in particular.

I paused. “Alessia will inherit everything when they fall.” Paolo frowned slightly. “So… we do nothing?” I let out a quiet, knowing breath. “Oh, we do something.” My eyes darkened. “We wait.” Because when the time came… I wouldn’t just win. I would take everything. “So… we do nothing?” Paolo asked again, uncertainty creeping into his voice. I slowly turned my head toward him, my gaze cold enough to silence whatever else he had been about to say.

"And what are you offering? A thank you note and a pat on the back?" "Information," Panni said. "We know where the Architect kept the private vault in the Carpathian mountains. The one Jian hasn't found yet. It contains the only thing the Old Man valued more than the company: the Swiss bank keys to the personal inheritance he set aside for the 'Panni' girl he never got to kill." Annie went still. The "Panni inheritance" was a legend in the family—a fortune large enough to buy a small country. "You'd give that to me?" Annie asked, her voice dropping to a whisper.

He took a cup of hot cocoa from Annabel who settled down next to him and wrapped a fluffy blanket around his shoulders. "No you wouldn't! If he tries anything, you'll just flood him. You know, your usual Poseidon shit and stuff..." a few seconds of comforting silence passed, "You know, dude, you could be a super hero with this thing...Like-" she was abruptly interrupted by Garvin, "That's just the thing Annie, A super hero would have saved his parents. If anything, I'm gonna be a super villain. Right after I recuperate my inheritance from the cow. Can you picture it? A billionaire villain with actual powers." They both burst into laughter.
