Sergio’s haven looms over us as we crouch hidden in the tall grass. The place is dark, save for a few torched flames that Sergio’s guards carry as they patrol the premise.

Sun Tzu said, ‘Plan for what is difficult while it is easy.’” Julian turned to me, eyebrows lifted. “Have you ever actually read Sun Tzu?” “Of course I have,” I lied. I had a list of famous quotes from The Art of War. Who had time to read the actual book?

“Read it. Best work of literature ever.” “I thought you were joking when you said The Art of War is your favorite book,” my woman mutters as she pages through it. “The greatest victory is that which requires no battle,” Alexei quotes the book. “Sun Tzu was a wise man.” “I like the sound of that,” Anya says, a smile curving her lips. She starts to read, and Alexei leans closer, pointing out more quotes. That’s what a father should be like. Emotion wells in my chest because Alexei is a father to us all.

Jasper will have all the reports compiled. Second, financial power plays. Mergers, acquisitions—understanding where leverage exists and who is desperate enough to make a deal. And third—the art of war. Because business is war. As Lao Tzu said in his book Tao Te Ching, "Know when to move forward, when to retreat, and when to let the enemy defeat himself."

Shin Tzu something,” “Sun Tzu,” I corrected. “What do you mean by that?” “It means I know Nick,” I said his name trying to see if he would react but he didn’t so I continued, “And right now I know he is making his move or moves. I know he isn’t done yet.” “What are you saying?” James' focus was on me now. “Have you ever heard of the saying, Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary mome

Only the two of them, alone at the top of the world. As they ate, Brian unwound in a way that Davidson had never witnessed. He spoke not of commerce, but of philosophy. He referenced Sun Tzu not regarding corporate conflict, but the art of leadership and insight. He questioned Davidson on a new Medici biography he was reading, his eyes focusing intently upon Davidson's face as if every word was gold.

“For 363 days.” He searched my face, then let go like I’d burned him. He didn’t touch me again for the rest of the drive. That night, I found a book on my nightstand. The Art of War. No note. I opened it. On the first page, in black ink, sharp and precise: Rule six: Enemies are everywhere. Trust no one. Not even me. I closed the book and looked at the camera in the corner.

I’m about to reiterate my question when his eyes refocus on mine. “I visited him several times after he formed an office at Sao Paulo. I found it odd, considering it wasn’t his territory, but I didn’t question it. However, I did find it strange to see the same paperweight on his Sao Paulo desk as he had in his Cozumel office. He moved it last time I came over, and his books are not in the proper order except for one. The Art of War by Sun Tzu. I was curious because it was the only red softcover bo

Or what has been done to her? That last question immediately has blood rushing back to my dick. The thought of her being this way due to being sexually abused has something going off in my head. When I look at her again, she isn't cleaning anymore. Or she could be done. I don't know, but she's glancing through the cover of The Art of War by Sun Tzu then flips through the pages. I have the book in a limited cover edition so I can understand her confusion. Done pretending, I set my laptop aside. “That's the actual book.” She jumps on her toes from my voice startling her.
