We stood in silence again for a moment, the cool night air moving between us. "There is something else," he said quietly. I did not reply verbally, which was its own form of invitation. "The redirected funds intersect with a trust," he said. The word struck deeper than I had prepared for. "A trust," I repeated. "Yes." "That is a common enough financial structure." "This particular one lists a beneficiary." My pulse slowed deliberately - a discipline, not a natural response. "And who is listed as the beneficiary," I asked. He held my gaze without any particular emphasis.

I correct. He gives me a look. “Say that again,” he says. “Our enemies,” I repeat. His mouth curves, soft. We talk about boring things. Insurance. Taxes. My future masters. His future legitimate ventures. “We can set up a trust,” he says. “For you. For…anyone who comes after.” “Anyone?” I ask, arching a brow. He clears his throat. “That was more theoretical than immediate,” he says. “But not…off the table?” I press.

Danish held the scoff back that was jumping into his throat. "Sure, I'll do anything to get their trust back but before that I have to do some cleaning so let start with the finance department, ask them to pull the data of the last ten years" He dropped the bomb on him, making him stubble but he composed himself quickly but nothing hid from his hawk eyes, but he chose to pretend not to notice.

They adjust. Because investments don’t disappear. And exposure cuts both ways. The decision settles into the room like gravity. Once made, it cannot be undone. My eldest brother pulls out his phone. No hesitation. No discussion. He scrolls, selects a contact none of us have used in years. “Activate the trust,” he says into the line when it connects. “Full disclosure protocol. Yes—that one.” He listens. His expression never changes. “No,” he adds. “This isn’t preventative. It’s reactive. We’ve already been marked.”

Taylor stands as it dawns on him. “That would be the best way to try and hide money. You have hundreds of trusts for very rich people who have those trusts invested in a million different things. The peaks and falls of those investments might not be noticeable to someone so wealthy and that isn’t checking regularly. They might think a stock dropped if they are halfway paying attention.” “They take a little from here and a little from there,” Craig adds. “Then they make a break for it before anyone catches on.” “But you can trace it?”

May his soul rest in peace. ​I concentrated on the tons of emails that needed answers. My secretary filters it for me. Only the high alerts go to my inbox, and the rest she replies to them. Of course, she knows which level they are in — if she makes a mistake, the whole company will suffer. That's the beauty of Core, started by Daddy and Mommy with everyone's trust in the people running it. Everyone wants to give their best for the progress of all. I don't know how Kim ended up like this. It only started when I took over. ​I was answering the last email when Cleo showed up at my door. "Hey, are you ready to go?" She entered and sat on the sofa.

“This whole thing has gotten way out of hand,” Sandra moaned as she fell into the cushioned sofa beside Creighton. “We have over six hundred employees coming to this party next week. Who is going to be taking care of the company while everyone is away playing?” “We have more than a third of the employees who chose the monetary package over the trip,” Creighton told her, pulling her into his embrace. “Not everyone likes to travel and may not even have passports, so the money is a good option for them. I don’t know why you’re so stressed about it. NHT is not going to go bankrupt if the work is reduced for a few days. We have everything under control, with enough added help to make sure things

Stanley’s voice echoes in my mind, his calm, patient warning when I confronted him days ago. “You’re wandering into rooms you can’t walk out of.” I open the trust file. Most of it’s redacted. The trustee is listed as Aurelius Holdings, another one of Stanley’s labyrinthine shells. The beneficiary line, though, is blank. Empty, as if someone erased it. A trust without a beneficiary is like a gun without a trigger, it’s still built to do damage. I rub my temples. Stanley’s sleeping in our penthouse across town right now, no doubt dreaming the kind of dreamless sleep only men with secrets can afford. And here I am, in his empire’s beating heart, tracing the veins he doesn’t want me to follow.

I sent the message before I too left my office to take care of things and people that needed my attention. I know just where to find Mr.Jake, my VIP patient, the hospital had a gym for people like him that had accidents that needed them to undergo exercises where they could be watched so as not to stress the injured bone. He had been doing pretty good by following all the rules and not stressing himself too much so I didn't have to worry about him, he knew it was for his own good, though I know some people would still be disobedient even if they knew what you are telling them to do is for their own good.
