Fucking idiot. I was sitting outside, perched on the stone bench beneath the ivy-covered archway, reading The 48 Laws of Power—my favorite book and the only thing I managed to bring with me from home. Honestly, it's the only reason I haven't lost my mind yet. That book isn't jusr philosophy; it's basically the blueprint for survival in a place like this. And it's been working. Slowly. Strategically.

I said, grinning from teeth to teeth like a child. We walked into the library. It looked like it had been a while, since it was in use. We went through several sections which included, finance, self-improvement, ethics, business amongst all. I caught a glimpse of a book I had been wanting to read, “Atomic Habits” by James Clear. I picked it immediately, and started going through it. After a while, I noticed I wasn't hearing any sound from the cook. I looked around and found her wiping tears off her eyes with the hem of her apron.

The zeal which begins with hypocrisy must conclude in treachery; at first it deceives, at last it betrays. -Francis Bacon Laying with his eyes open, he analyzed his situation. His options...there pros and cons. And he had barely closed his eyes when the dawn broke, the first rays of sun infiltrating through the curtains of his private chamber, bathing the large room in a golden glory. 'It was another starting! ' But what a foul way of starting the day when the first thing you notice is your mistake of last night?

* She thought with a smile as she walked across the room. Because of her regular visit to his office during the first week of work, she felt familiar enough to walk around and not feel nervous. Her encounters with him also made her feel settled. "Even though he acts like someone who has bipolar disorder sometimes, he is still kind." She found herself saying out loud as she opened a book which she found interesting from his shelf. The title of the book was "Think And Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. She was so fascinated in the last page of the book and the thoughts swirling in her head that she wasn't aware of her surroundings anymore.

Although he had kept a low profile for so many years and many people had forgotten him, the last trip to the capital city had made Madison realize that the reason why he had been forgotten was that he seldom showed up. If he showed up, they would remember him. However, oppressing others with power wasn't a good thing. In his words, one had to bow first, and then fight later. They could talk first, and if not, then talk about other things.

"Geez, Henry, why are you lying on the floor like a stray dog?" He had completely shed his weak and pitiful facade from earlier, his eyes gleaming with triumph. "Do you want to know who put the peanut powder in the drink?" He squatted down, shining the flashlight directly into my eyes. "It was me. I just wanted to see who's more important to Dad, Mom, and Violet: you, their biological son and brother, or me, who is adopted. Guess what? Even though you're related by blood, in their eyes, you're not even fit to carry my shoes!"

Interesting. The door shut behind him quietly. I sat alone again while rain continued sliding down the windows behind me. The study smelled faintly like coffee, paper, and old wood carrying moisture from the storm outside. Seven years building this operation had taught me something most people misunderstood about power. Power didn't come from intelligence. It came from predictability. The second you understood how someone behaved under pressure, you owned them. Victor tightened control when cornered. Board members protected money. Politicians protected perception.

"When I do the sweep of the property perimeter. I know I'm doing it." "Is knowing it different from not knowing?" he asked. "Yes," she said. "When I don't know, the habit just runs. When I know, I have to decide whether to let it run or interrupt it." She paused. "It's exhausting, the deciding." "It gets easier," Dante said. "The deciding becomes less conscious and then eventually the habit frequency drops and then it stops being a decision and it's just — occasionally, when something is actually worth assessing." He paused. "The habit doesn't disappear. It calibrates."

I comb my hair down, and catch my reflection in the mirror, allowing myself a small, controlled smirk. I take the journal, and lock it in my safe behind the towel rack in the bathroom. Heavier than it looks, that little book. Paper and ink shouldn’t feel like leverage, yet it does. Like holding a pulse in my palm. People think power comes from guns, money, men who answer when you call. They’re wrong. Power is knowing someone’s secrets. Power is knowing the exact sound they make when they’re lonely. I rest my hand on the safe door for a second longer than necessary, exhaling slowly.
