Author: Cozy Season
Debra frowned. "That's reckless. Street racing is illegal. What if someone gets hurt?"

Marion chuckled, "Relax, no one's getting hurt."

Debra wanted to argue, but when she looked back, she noticed something surprising.

Despite the racing, everyone was oddly polite. They yielded to other cars and signaled properly. But when it came to racing each other, they went all out.

While everyone else stayed within the speed limit while showing off their driving skills, Drake played by his own rules.

By the time they reached Marion and Debra's new house, the usual 20-minute drive had been cut down to 13 minutes.

Debra glanced outside, and those cars were parked perfectly in place.

"I'm first." Drake stepped out of his car, grinning.

Erica got out of hers. "You cheated."

Drake shrugged. "No one said cheating wasn't allowed."

Randy quickly stepped in. "Forget about this guy. You're the real winner."

Theda and Robert got out of their car, followed by Jordan. Chace's group arrived last.

    Erica asked, "What dream?""I mean... Fermin passed out, too. But he woke up faster than all of us," Debra replied.She had been planning to ask why she didn't see Fermin in the dream, but the whole thing had to do with rebirth. With everyone around, she didn't want to bring up the topic.The power of the four gems was unbelievable, and rebirth sounded absurd. Besides, after everything happened, her gems were gone. The one in Jeffrey's possession had disappeared, too.Maybe they vanished after running out of energy, or Fermin had taken them away.According to Jordan, he had stepped away for a while to bring reinforcements. Fermin could've left during that time.Randy changed the subject. "Let's not talk about this on such a happy day. Anyway, our biggest threat, Jeffrey, is dead. Juan has made it clear that he won't target us anymore. From now on, we all live in peace and head toward a bright future."Erica snorted, "That last part doesn't sound like something you'd say, does it

    "So, the threat still exists.""Exactly.""Who is their leader?""I don't know. But I think the person is right around you."Debra looked back at the cheerful group. She didn't want to doubt any of them.Her eyes fell on them one by one. She trusted every single person there. If one of them was the traitor, she didn't know what to do.She ended the call and went back. Randy and Erica urged her to sit down.The conversation carried on, but Debra couldn't focus.Michael sensed her unusual behavior and pulled her outside while the others were drinking their rounds.Enjoying the cool night air, he asked, "Was it Juan who called you?""How do you know?" Debra glanced at him.He was looking into the distance. She immediately understood. "You're like another version of me in this world. We've worked together for so long. I'd be surprised if you didn't know."Everyone there was her friend, but only Michael had understood her from the very beginning.Other than Marion, he was the f

    The photo showed a piece of clothing Jeffrey had worn before. It was a white mask paired with a black cloak.The mask looked horrible, with sunken eye sockets that gave off an unsettling vibe."During your time abroad, have you ever seen anyone dressed like this? Usually, they'd show up at special banquets or balls. Overseas, there are plenty of those, especially with wealthy crowds. You've probably attended quite a few. Have you seen this before?"Michael took the phone and glanced at the photo. "There are a lot of masquerade balls, and plenty of people dress like this. The mask looks like something from an opera. Give me some time. I'll look into it.""Take your time. The treasure in Seamar City is gone now, so whoever's behind this probably won't show their hand too quickly. Just keep an eye out. If you find anything, don't approach them directly. It'll get messy if you're caught."Debra still remembered the terrifying atmosphere when Cathryn trapped her and Liza at that banque

    When Debra and Michael returned to the room, everyone was chatting happily around the table.Marion was the quiet type, not really engaging in the conversation. He would only speak up occasionally.When Debra came back, he relaxed and smiled.Debra didn't smile back this time. She just walked over and sat down beside him.Marion had peeled shrimp for her because she never liked to eat anything with shells.She casually picked up one and popped it in her mouth. Soon, the next one was ready."What's wrong?" he asked, looking up. "Don't you like the food today?""Juan called me," Debra said quietly."I know.""Aren't you going to ask what he said?""Other than congratulating you on being discharged, I can't think of anything else."His tone was thick with jealousy. In the past, Debra would've laughed and reassured him that she only loved him. But now, a million questions flooded her mind.When Marion first started pursuing her, he didn't message her that often. He would ghost

    Randy spoke up. "You're leaving so soon? Let's continue to have fun. You can just crash here. Debra and Marion won't mind.""We have a place to stay. Besides, this is their new house, so another day maybe," Theda replied.Michael also stood up. "I'm going back, too. Got an appointment tomorrow to make.""Us too." Oscar and Chace stood up.Jordan said, "There are still some family matters for me to do, so I won't stay tonight. Let's catch up another time."Drake stood up as well, saying to Kale, "Let's go."Randy and Erica looked around, a bit stunned.Erica stood up and said, "Oh, right, don't we have a date tomorrow? Come on, let's go.""A date?" Randy hadn't finished speaking when Erica pulled him up and dragged him toward the door.He pointed to his jacket in the chair, "Wait, my jacket.""Forget about it. I'll get you a new one," she said.Debra and Marion were left alone in the room."I'll clean up. You've had a long day. Go take a rest," he said."Marion." Debra grab

    "As I said, if I ever lie to you, my life is yours to take," Marion said sincerely.His firm tone convinced Debra, making her wonder if Michael was mistaken."Why so serious? I was just joking," she said, pecking him on the cheek. "We've had a long day. Let's get some rest.""Okay," Marion agreed.In bed, he held her tightly.Unable to sleep, she whispered, "It feels like we've never fought before."Marion wasn't asleep either. He chuckled, "If that's your wish, we can pick a small thing to fight about.""I don't want to fight," Debra said, turning over to face him. "If you're lying to me, keep on. Just don't let me find out that you don't love me.""I love you," Marion said solemnly.But his love was different from that of others. Debra was the person he loved most in this world, the one he wanted to devote his entire life to. There would never be another person as important to him as her.Late into the night, Debra was fast asleep.Marion pulled the blanket over her and qu

    "Just stay out of this," Marion said.Drake suddenly thought back to their childhood. In the slums, Marion was always the quiet one.There were many kids. Some swindled, some stole, and others fished for sympathy.Drake was the weakest of them all. Begging for food or money was his only option. The other kids bullied him and drove him to the worst place.Marion had been there with him. He had thought Marion was just another weakling. So, he kindly shared his bread with Marion, who didn't speak or eat it.The next day, a kind-hearted person gave him a gold coin, but when the other kids saw it, they beat him up and took it.At night, he hid in a haystack and cried alone.When Marion came back, he quickly wiped his tears. Marion tossed a gold coin in front of him and sat down in the corner.Different from other kids, Marion was always steady and composed.He still remembered Marion's first words to him. It was the third day they had been together.By then, he'd been ostracized a

    Marion realized what was going on. "His door got blown off by the wind," he stammered."The wind blew it off? And I'm supposed to pay for it?" Debra said in disbelief.She found Drake's message on her phone and showed it to him. "Drake says some lunatic showed up at his place last night and smashed his door. Oh, and he sent me a security cam video. Wanna take a look?"The footage was crystal clear, showing how Marion barged into Drake's house.Marion didn't even blink. "I was just testing the durability of his door.""Come on. I'm not blind," Debra huffed, standing up. "Let me guess. You were afraid that Drake would spill your secrets, so you went over there to shut him up.""No, I didn't." Marion fidgeted.Debra crossed her arms. "He didn't tell me anything, and you tore down his door. You're paying for it."She tossed the bill at him and headed upstairs.Marion glanced down at the invoice and then Kale, who was standing nearby.Kale nervously bowed his head. "I'm just fol

    Debra's eyes narrowed at this guy she'd never heard of.Michael had kept it under wraps, proving he had never fully trusted her."Mrs. Houston," Jason said, "I'm here for Mr. Austin to negotiate. He called this shareholder vote in the name of the biggest stakeholder. He's got the right to kick it off. Any objections?"Debra plopped into the head chair. "Cut the polite crap. Everyone's here. Objections or not, this vote's happening, right? No way it's that simple.""Mrs. Houston," Jason said coolly, "today's vote's straightforward: who's better suited as the McKinney Group CEO, you or Mr. Austin? Everyone here sees what you both bring. In the past two years, you've barely shown up. Mr. Austin ran the show, held a key role, and raked in profits. He's the clear pick for CEO.""So, you're saying I suck as the boss?" Debra shot back.Michael didn't even show, sending this random assistant instead. That already pissed her off.Now this guy's veiled jabs annoyed her even more."I'm ju

    Debra's heart sank.Back when she'd teamed up with Michael, she had nothing, offering him Frazier Entertainment shares to seal the deal. Later, Frazier Entertainment merged into the McKinney Group, and she handed it off to him.To keep her identity hidden, she'd tossed him more shares. With Frazier Entertainment, he'd racked up 30%.She'd thought he deserved it. For two years, he'd run the show plenty. She'd never seen this coming."Madam, you there?" Ben's voice shook.This was huge and should stay quiet. Otherwise, the company would fall into chaos.Debra's blood ran cold. She hadn't expected Michael to go so far."I'll be there soon," she said, hanging up.She turned to Marion. "Michael scooped up loose shares. He's gunning for a vote as top shareholder."Over 40% wasn't half, but it made him the biggest player. Calling a vote was his right.Debra only had 40%. If 10% of the rest sided with Michael, he could oust her."Don't sweat it," Marion said. "We'll hit it together.

    That shut everyone up.If Jordan was right, Drake was gambling with his neck."That's too risky. I've gotta drag him back." Debra spun to leave.Erica grabbed her. "Jordan's guys are on it. They'll ping us if they find him. You can't go out like this and become their target.""I'm not their focus anymore," Debra said. "They'll zero in on Drake."She looked at Marion. "Get your people searching. We need his trail fast, or he's dead."Once the Illuminati squeezed the stone's location out of Drake, they'd kill him.Orkgate was now controlled by Lara. Drake had no other value for them."On it," Marion said.They split up. Erica and Randy tapped their networks."Debra, don't freak," Jordan said. "Drake is not dumb. Injured like that, he couldn't have gone far. As long as he keeps that secret, they won't kill him."Debra nodded. "Hope he doesn't do anything stupid."She should've seen it coming. A proud guy like Drake couldn't handle being down for so long.His injuries were bru

    Outside their room, Drake froze mid-knock.His head was down, and his expression was hidden. Eventually, his hand dropped, and he sighed.He turned around and shuffled downstairs, leaning on the wall. He was a broken mess now, unwilling to drag them down....Debra woke up the next morning, reaching for Marion.He wasn't there. She bolted upright, threw off the covers, and ran barefoot downstairs, shouting, "Marion?"In the hall, Marion and Jordan turned as she stumbled in, still in her pajamas.Marion rushed up, slipping off his slippers for her. "What's with the panic?""I didn't see you." She heaved a sigh of relief. "Thought you'd...""Any luck?" Jordan asked Kale, who'd just walked in.Kale shook his head. "Not yet.""What's up?" Debra asked, clocking everyone's grim faces."Drake's gone," Marion said. "No note, nothing. We're looking.""Did the cameras catch anything? Could it be the Illuminati...""Not them. He walked out himself.""Why the hell would he just up a

    Debra jolted awake from a nightmare, her forehead slick with sweat."Still torn up about Michael?" Marion's voice came from beside her.She settled into his arms, finally feeling a little relieved. These past two months, they'd faced everything alone. She hadn't curled up with him like this in forever."It's my fault," she whispered. "If I hadn't trusted Michael so much, the Eaton family wouldn't have been a mess. Mr. Eaton Sr. wouldn't have been in the hospital.""It's your fault," Marion said, patting her back. "Even without your trust, the Illuminati would've found a way in. That was their goal.""I just can't wrap my head around why Michael's one of them," she said.She'd spent all night recalling the past, from meeting Michael to building the McKinney Group with him. He was key to its success, but everything had been a lie."Maybe he was never with us," Marion said. "The Illuminati's everywhere. Didn't you check his background when you teamed up?""I..." Debra faltered.S

    "We're all in it for ourselves." Michael shrugged. "Jeffery did his part for the Illuminati, so I'll cut you some slack.He pushed the teacup to Juan. "But I don't buy it that you're all-in. Following in Jeffery's footsteps sounds nice, but you killed him, which shows your ruthless nature. We need people like you. I don't care if you're Debra's mole or chasing your angle. Save your energy. It's pointless. Just do your job and back us up. I won't say a word about it.""Should I thank you for it?" Juan scoffed.He'd thought Michael was forced into it, but now he saw how naïve that was.Though young, Michael was already a core member, suggesting his connection to the Illuminati dates back a long time.Only intelligent and influential ones could enter the core circle. That meant he hadn't defected midway.Michael sat down across from him. "Don't look at me like that. We're not the same, and you know it.""When'd you turn on Debra?" Juan asked."Doesn't matter," Michael said, smilin

    It was true they were both members of the Illuminati, but Fermin never signed up to be a lapdog.Back then, he'd teamed up with them for mutual gain. But the Illuminati wanted more than a partnership. They wanted the Eaton family on a leash.When Fermin didn't bite, Michael added, "I saw Miss Eaton crying her eyes out. We go way back. Should I cheer her..."Before he could finish, Fermin's knife flashed to his throat, nicking him. Blood trickled, but it was just a scratch."Stay away from her," Fermin growled. "Touch her, and I'll end you.""I'm just being nice here," Michael chuckled. "But if you're not cool with it, I'll drop it. But those terms? Think twice. We only help our own. If you keep playing your own game, that heart goes elsewhere. And trust me, you won't find another match."Fermin hated to admit it, but Michael was speaking the truth. Without the Illuminati's help, he couldn't find a match for Bert's heart.He lowered the knife. "Fine, it's a deal. Get your people

    She only had Fermin and Bert left in this world.She had no mom and no real friends. She couldn't lose Bert or watch Fermin turn into this.She didn't want Debra's crew hurt either.Fermin pulled her into a hug. "Don't worry. Dad will be fine. I'll make sure of it."His promise unleashed her tears. The hospital hallway echoed with her cries.Once she calmed down, Fermin had someone take her away.A guard stepped up. "Mr. Eaton, our master is waiting ahead.""You've tailed me this whole way," Fermin said coldly. "Gonna keep it up? I don't like shadows."The guards stayed silent, just following orders. If their boss said stick to Fermin, they'd die before leaving his side."Loyal dogs to your master," Fermin scoffed, brushing past them.He walked into an empty ward. A tall figure in a white shirt stood by the window."You've really opened my eyes," he said, surprised."I'm flattered, Mr. Eaton," Michael said, turning around.His crisp white shirt had dried bloodstains. Notic

    Liza rushed to the ICU upon receiving the news.A bodyguard stopped her. "Mr. Eaton said no one gets near the room and disturbs the patient's rest."Liza smacked him, and he bowed his head.Her eyes were red, her vibe darker than ever. "That's my dad in there. Why can't I go in? Move!""Mr. Eaton forbids it. Please, don't make things hard for us," the bodyguard said, stuck.No one there dared to defy her. They all knew how much Fermin doted on her."I don't care," she snapped. "Step aside, or I'll have my brother skin you alive. Let's see if you still block me."Her threat chilled him. She might be bluffing, but Fermin wouldn't."What's the ruckus?" Fermin's voice cut through."Mr. Eaton." The bodyguard bowed his head."Didn't I tell you no one gets near?" Fermin's tone dripped danger.Coming with him was a group of elite guards. The bodyguard was daunted by their aura.Liza stepped forward. "Dad is in a bad condition. Why wouldn't you let me see him?
