LEONARD KISH'S POV,With the victory from last night still new in my mind, my spine straightened as I stood before the dressing mirror that Friday morning, I gazed at my reflection and my eyes sparkled with determination,Since I had overcome the obstacle that posed a threat to my path, I felt a renewed surge of adrenaline coursing through my veins, energizing me to crush another day,As soon as I sat at the dining table, the delicious aroma from the elaborate spread filled the air, but almost immediately, my brows furrowed, and a sense of anger dampened my mood as my eyes landed on the elaborate spread at the other end of the dinning table,Instinctively, my hands shot out, and I signaled Butler Joe who was standing behind me at his serving spot,With his head bowed and shoulders slouched, he hastened to my side, "You called for me, Young Master," He answered cautiously, his voice tender and laden with difference as he spoke,"What is the meaning of this?" I questioned, my tone bear

The members of Five Stars had been agitated, gradually moving towards Leonard's resignation as the league leader.

LEONARD KISH'S POV,"What an important meeting you're having right in your villa, Mr. Yuka!" I announced. My voice boomed with confidence as I took long strides to the empty couch on the other side of his plush living room,Elsa tugged closely beside me, her arm brushing against mine as she sat beside me just as I had instructed.The tension in the living room was palpable, their gaze fixed on us as if they had just seen a ghost. They clearly weren't expecting my visit, and the shock on their faces was undeniable.A blanket of shame had clothed Mr. Zeus, while Mr Edwin still had his straight face with an unreadable expression on his face.Sitting comfortably on his couch, I turned towards Mr. Yuka and inquired, "Were you talking about me?" His face had a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, and I knew he was struggling to keep his cool.Just then, my eyes began to travel from one person to the other, with a smile on my face, although my question was directed to Mr. Yuka, who I was

LEONARD KISH'S POV,"Have you contacted Macpherson." I asked Sam whose attention was focused on the road, as he drove to the company that day.My gaze was fixed intently on the contract with Macpherson, which he had given to me earlier, meticulously tracing every little details. I had taken it upon myself to ensure that every term and clause was error-free, since I knew, signing a contract with Macpherson was going to earn me more ground and increase my chances of becoming the next Chairman of 'KishLee Corporation.'"Yes boss!" He beamed in response, without taking his eyes off the road.With the election for the ceo position scheduled, I knew I had to be meticulous and avoid any mistakes that Richard Yuka could exploit. The stakes were high, and I couldn't afford to leave any openings for him to capitalize on."Their secretary has confirmed that the meeting will proceed as agreed, and the contract will be finalized by two o'clock pm." His words came again, dripping with satisfaction

I needed to hear the truth from Sam himself before I could accept my fears."What is it about Macpherson? What did Richard Yuka do?" I questioned as calmly as I could, my eyes fixed intently on him, as I urged him on for an answer, even though deep within me I feared my gut."He's... He's... finalizing... the cont...

Sam hesitated, unsure if he should continue, while I remained silent, not saying a word to him either, and we continued in silence.After a while, his words came again, breaking the silence that had fallen upon us,"How about we report this matter to the board of directors, and let them handle it?" He suggested, his voice heavy with pain as he spoke.

ELSA ELKINS' POV,As soon as I was done, I hurried downstairs, towards the kitchen, and upon getting to the living room, I met Nanny Ruth, whose face was radiant with smiles, "Good morning, Nanny Ruth!" I greeted her, sharing in her warmth. After exchanging warm pleasantries, Nanny Ruth said gently, "It seems Leonard brought you breakfast." Warmth glinting in her eyes as she stared at me.I shrugged. After Leonard's attitude last night and his coldness that I was used to, I wasn't about to be swayed by that single gesture, no matter how thoughtful it seemed. "Well, he did," I answered, my voice as flat as my expression. "But there's nothing more to it," I added calmly.Nanny Ruth's eyes softened, and her gaze turned inward as my words sank into her. Her smile, although still present, whispered a gentle concern."I heard the both of you arguing last night," She began softly,"But I want you to know that Leonard is a good kid and not as bad as you think," she said calmly, her words ec
