After many years of being the CEO of Elijah Consortium, even when the time when he first became one and many questioned him, this was the first time that Jaxon Elijah was stumped by a question. And the person who left him speechless was his son who could barely reach his waist.

“Who told you that?” Jaxon immediately thought of the child’s mother. “Did your mother talk nonsense again?”

Scottie’s innocent eyes blinked and still stared straight at Jaxon’s eyes. “I called Mom because…because…I’m sad. Daddy leaves Scottie alone again. I called Mom. Scottie always saw that sick auntie with Daddy…always with Daddy.” He paused as if he hesitated for a moment before he continued. This time, Scottie’s eyes were slightly red. “Daddy, my friend said that his Daddy and Mommy are filing for divorce because of another auntie. Am I…am I going to be like my friend?”

Jaxon finally stood up. He closed the meager amount of distance between him and his son. It only took him three steps, but at this moment

    Losing control was the worst outcome for someone who held control as the Holy Grail.Growing up, Jaxon was groomed to be the heir of the giant enterprise called Elijah Consortium. He was taught that there was no room for any mistakes or it would make the huge business empire to crumble—a great sin for the ancestors of his family.To do that, control was the key to eliminate any mistakes. If he eliminated variables, focused on taking ten steps more advance than the others, he needed to control everything around him.His friends were all on the basis of interests. His business acumen revolved around iron-clad means. Even the emotions shown for his family members were precise.

He had already a candidate for his wife—Talia.Talia was the daughter of his father’s subordinate who sacrificed himself to sav

    The stone cutter master picked up the wool that Ashley pushed. This was the apple-sized wool that Ashley first discovered which was surrounded by thick white smoke to the point that it was barely visible for him when using the Jade Eyes.“How to cut it?” asked the stone cutter master. With the way he moved, it was shown that he was an expert in this field.Seeing that there were at most ten wools in her cart, the people who were still leisurely choosing and observing the wools had become interested and crowded the stone cutting area. This place was located at the innermost part of the store but it was only a few steps away from the display area of the wools.Ashley did not mind the crowd. In her eyes, they were all his money bags. Instead, she focused on the apple-sized wool. With the use of her lucky physique, she was able to determine how to solve the wool without damaging the jadeite inside it.“Grind it.”The sound of the tool used for grinding wools resounded.

    Every raw jade stone with a thick white smoke surrounding it was selected by Ashley. It all came in different sizes and shapes but the quality inside—only Ashley knew that each one was more valuable than the other.There were raw wools as big as a fist while there were as big as a human torso. Common raw jade stones were as big as a football or as huge as a human head.Three hours later, all the carts were filled with raw jade stones. Secretly, the sales guide could not help but think that the customer was a prodigal for buying so much without the guide of an expert. The sales guide even concluded that maybe the store where Ashley was working was short with money that was why they were pushed to the point of relying on luck. Unbeknownst to the sales guide, all the wools contained jadeites which were high class category!When the truck of Ashley’s processing plant came, she watched for a few minutes before she proceeded to the other nearest supply points.

    It was not until Ashley failed to see her son’s small silhouette that she finally withdrew her gaze. She did not bother to glance at the towering figure of the man standing next to the gate of the Elijah Mansion like a damn door god.Before Ashley could dash away, Jaxon crossed the distance between them. The next moment, he was standing next to her window, knocking the mirror. He wanted to talk with her, something she was able to avoid the last time.Ashley hated this feeling of being oppressed. But she also knew that running away was not the solution; they had to sit down and talk about it. So she opened the window and said: “There’s a nearest coffee shop here with good privacy. I will wait for you there for five minutes. If you are not there within that period, I’m out.”Without waiting for his answer, Ashley’s car drove away, leaving a solemn-looking Jaxon Elijah. He looked back at Harold. “Let’s go.”Harold drove the phantom car, dropping Jaxon before he looked for a place to park

    Five months had passed since Ashley and Jaxon decided to give their family a true second chance.Now, seated in the plush back seat of their luxury SUV, Ashley’s fingers traced over the financial reports on her tablet screen. The elegant logo of Rosemary Jewelry and Rosemary Real Estate gleamed in the corner, a reminder of the empire she had built with her own hands.

To build not just a business empire, but a family.The numbers on the reports reflected her hard work.Rosemary Jewelry, a brand that had once been a small passion project, was now a name whispered among high society.

    The steam clung to Ashley’s skin as she stepped out of the bathroom, her damp hair cascading over her shoulders. A plush towel was wrapped securely around her body, but she hardly paid attention to the fabric covering her as she reached for the hairdryer on the vanity. The sound of movement near the closet made her pause.She turned her head—and then froze.Jaxon stood with his back to her, his broad shoulders flexing as he ran a towel through his damp hair. The dim lighting of their bedroom accentuated every ridge and valley of his toned muscles, the chiseled perfection of his body honed through years of discipline and training. But it wasn’t just the raw masculinity of his physique that stole Ashley’s breath—it was the dark, intricate ink stretching across his back.Her name was there.Ashley Elijah.Just beneath it, an elegant script detailed a date—one that sent an icy shiver down her spine.

    Jaxon Elijah sat in his office, his fingers pressed against his temples as he listened to Harold recount the details of Henry Deneuve’s confrontation with Ashley. The more Harold spoke, the more Jaxon’s fury burned like an unrelenting inferno. His jaw clenched, his breathing steady yet deep—a dangerous calm before the inevitable storm.Henry Deneuve had dared to threaten his wife? To speak to Ashley as if she were some scheming outsider rather than the woman who had suffered and endured to reclaim her rightful place? Jaxon would not tolerate it. Not now. Not ever."Prepare the package," Jaxon finally spoke, his voice devoid of emotion but carrying an unshakable weight. "Everything we've collected on Henry over the years. I want him to see every dark secret, every skeleton buried in his past."Harold nodded without hesitation. He knew his boss well enough to recognize that this was not a moment for questioning. This was a moment of execution. The Elijah Consortium did not deal in empty

    Ashley stood before the towering glass doors of an exclusive luxury boutique, her heart thudding in her chest. It was a strange sensation—one part excitement, one part apprehension. She had never done this before, never had the chance to bond with a mother over something as trivial yet meaningful as shopping. The mother she had known, the one who had raised her until she passed away, was a distant memory, blurred and bittersweet. And Camilla Connor, the woman who played the role of stepmother, had only ever used the idea of motherhood as a tool to manipulate and belittle her. But now, standing beside Uriel Deneuve, her real mother, Ashley was finally about to experience something she never had before.Uriel, graceful and poised, exuded the quiet confidence of someone who had spent her life in wealth and power yet carried an air of warmth that Ashley hadn’t expected. She reached out, gently squeezing Ashley’s hand. “Are you ready, ma chérie?” she asked in a soft voice, her foreign acce

    Ashley stood in front of the grand estate, her heart pounding against her ribcage. The Deneuve estate was nothing short of magnificent, with its towering gates, sprawling gardens, and a mansion that exuded centuries of prestige and power. She had been through countless battles in life—both emotional and physical—but standing here, waiting to meet the people who had given her life, felt like the hardest thing she had ever faced.Jaxon stood beside her, his presence a solid wall of support. He hadn't said much on the way here, knowing that no words could ease the storm brewing inside her. Instead, he simply held her hand, giving her strength in his silence. Ashley squeezed his hand briefly, grateful that despite everything, he was here.The gates opened slowly, revealing a long driveway lined with aged oak trees. A butler approached them with practiced grace, bowing slightly. "Madam Ashley, Master Jaxon, welcome. Mr. and Mrs. Deneuve are waiting for you inside."Ashley took a deep breat

    Ashley stood before the grand gates of the Connor estate, her heart pounding in her chest. The towering iron gates, adorned with intricate gold embellishments, loomed before her like a silent guardian of the past she was determined to unearth. She took a deep breath, her fingers tightening around the leather straps of her handbag. She had spent years believing in lies, believing that Fred Connor was her father, believing that she was a part of this family despite never truly belonging. But today, she was here to uncover the truth.The guards hesitated for a moment before opening the gates, recognizing her instantly. Despite the years of neglect and mistreatment, Ashley was still considered a Connor by name, a title she never truly wanted but was forced to bear. As she stepped onto the estate grounds, memories flooded her mind—the cold stares, the whispered insults, the forced smiles at extravagant galas where she was paraded as the ‘honored’ daughter of the Connor family.She was led

    Ashley sat on the edge of their massive bed, her fingers gently tracing the embroidery on the soft duvet. The silence in the room was thick, heavy with unspoken words and lingering ghosts of the past.Jaxon stood a few feet away, his broad shoulders tense, his hands buried in his pockets as he gazed out the window at the night sky. The soft glow of the city lights cast shadows on his face, making him look almost unreachable, almost like the man he used to be—the man who had once broken her heart over and over again.She took a deep breath, summoning the courage she needed. "Jaxon, we need to talk."He turned immediately, his dark eyes locking onto hers with a mix of worry and determination. He had been waiting for this conversation just as much as she had."I know," he said, taking a step toward her. "I’ve been waiting for you to be ready."Ashley nodded. "I need to know, Jaxon. I need to know what’s next for us. For Scottie. For this family."Jaxon exhaled sharply and walked toward h

    The sun cast long golden streaks through the hospital window, bathing the pristine white room in a warm glow. Ashley sat at the edge of the bed, absently running her fingers over the sleeve of her hospital gown. She was ready to leave. The doctors had confirmed it that morning—she was strong enough to be discharged. But even as she prepared to return to her life, an unsettling weight pressed down on her chest.Scottie sat on the couch near the window, staring out at the world beyond the glass. He hadn’t spoken much that morning. He hadn’t smiled either.Jaxon stood near the door, his arms crossed as he watched them both carefully. His sharp eyes missed nothing, least of all the way Ashley clenched her hands together as if trying to steady herself, or how Scottie’s small shoulders seemed to shrink under an invisible burden.They were leaving this place, but the horrors of that night still clung to them, unwilling to release their hold.Ashley inhaled deeply and released a slow, shaky b

What was once the most dominant empire in the business world was now teetering under pressure from an equally formidable opponent—the Rostishire Family. The emblem of crows, their unmistakable mark, was beginning to loom over the Elijah Family’s empire, signaling the coming of a war that was as much about power as it was about revenge.It had been three weeks since Izana Rostishire had disappeared without a trace. No ransom note, no communication, no evidence—just an eerie silence that enraged the Rostishires to no end. The head of the family, Reginald Rostishire, was a man of calculated ruthlessness, and the disappearance of his only son had turned him into a force of nature, an entity that would stop at nothing until his heir was returned.While Reginald was known for his composure, the movements he had been making in the corporate world were anything but subtle.
