Frowning, Nicholas was about to stand and call the chef to bring other food when a sudden fierce wind swept across the sea. The yacht lurched violently, the grill overturned, and scalding charcoal scattered in every direction. "Watch out!"

The sharp click of her 5-inch heels echoed through the lobby.

BATTLE FOR MY INHERITANCE Maxwell’s POV I rose up from my seat with burning fury, stirring in me like an angry sea wave. I looked down, setting my eyes on him to pass the information that I am eager and seriously desperate to get what belongs to me. “There is no other way you can devise to get what is not yours.” He snapped back with genuine boldness which I didn't find interesting and literally irritated me. He leaned backward, forced out a wicked smile, as his fingers fidgeted at his luxurious desk.

She was already hoping that there was a chance this man might help her in that direction. “You nearly got your fool hind-end turned into demon dog food!” His fists were tight. He was clearly furious. “There’s a reason people sail around the edge of the land through the Sea of Souls rather than risk the Landbridge!” He gestured furiously over her shoulder. Back in the direction they’d just came from. “Very few survive the journey.” “We just did.” She said softly. “Because of my animal senses. Who’s fool are you?” “What’s that supposed to mean?” She stomped an aggravated foot.

He extends his arm, unsure for a heartbeat, then I step into it. And I don’t resist. I let him pull me close, let my cheek rest against his shoulder as the sea crashes beneath us. *** Vynov’s port comes alive in the early morning mist—noisy, and utterly indifferent to our arrival. Sailors shout over crates. Nobles in deep velvet disembark with wrinkled noses. Merchants haggle before their boots even touch the cobblestones. Gold moves hands. Oil-stained ropes creak. It’s practised chaos. This is an island kingdom built on trade, and it runs like a hungry beast, feasting on coin and commerce.

I could hear and feel the blood in me. “Make it stop!” I shouted and cried. The pain was unexplainable, it was so thick and weird. I felt like my blood was boiling. Sweat formed on my forehead and my body stretched unnaturally. “Exhaurire cruor - coetus potentia!” “Exhaurire cruor - coetus potentia!” They kept chanting, causing me pain. “Stop this nonsense, Mom!” Collins yelled at his mother.

The leather bag in his hand made him look suspicious as the sinister grin on his lips told yet another story. A story of greed. A story of acquiring wealth. The tough winds shifted the boat to his left as a result of which the elbow of the hunchback touched the surface of water. He anyway sailed further, hitting his oar harder and stronger through the rising and falling waves in the water. Any wiser man wouldn't have considered sailing through the sea at this point while there was a storm in the ocean.
