Third time is not a charm

Gunnar arrived at the conference flanked by members of his gang, all dressed in immaculate black suits. They moved with a sense of purpose, their presence imposing. As they entered the conference hall, the swarm of reporters, TV crews, paparazzi, and journalists created a flurry of activity. Cameras flashed, and microphones were thrust forward as Gunnar made his way to the podium.“Mr. Gunnar, can you tell us more about your new project with Apex Corporation?” one journalist asked, her voice barely audible over the din.Gunnar smiled confidently, taking a moment to adjust his tie. “Now that we’ve secured the contract with Apex Corporation, we’ll be focusing on meeting with potential incorporations to form strategic partnerships. This is a significant step forward, and we’re excited about the opportunities ahead.”“Can you elaborate on what these partnerships will entail?” another reporter called out.“We’re looking to leverage the strengths of both Apex Corporation and our company,” Gu

No need for a threat

The dining room of the Rossi mansion was quiet, and yet the atmosphere carried tension as the rest of the family watched Maria serve Rene and herself the food that she prepared, ignoring the one the maids prepared for the entire family."Are you going to buy new silverware and dishes for him too?" Bianca mocked with a scoff.But Maria said nothing and calmly pulled out her chair, sat down, and started to eat. Her silence annoyed Bianca to the core and she clutched her fork."Okay. That's enough. There's no need to ruin this morning more than it already is." Mr. Rossi said, eyeing Rene.Then he cleared his throat and reached for his glass, tapping it with his fork, drawing everyone's attention to him."As we saw in the news yesterday, we have a new competition in town... ReF Networks Incorporation has landed the biggest deal in the country right now. Even though it's just two months old, it has climbed to the rank of a major player in the industry. One of its biggest successes is gett

Age gap

Straightening himself in his seat, Gunnar frowned as he stared ahead and said, "No one hates that bastard, Jason, more than I do."A look of shock Rene's eyes widened in disbelief. He took a moment to process Gunnar's words, trying to understand the implication. Gunnar’s vehement hatred for Jason Rossi was evident in his tone and expression."You... hate him?" Rene said slowly, his voice betraying a mix of surprise and curiosity. "Then why didn’t you tell me about your connection with him earlier?"Gunnar sighed, his frustration palpable. “It’s not a simple matter. My issues with Jason go way beyond mere rivalry. There’s history there—personal grievances that make the professional animosity look trivial." A pained expression appeared on his face as he continued. "My gang and I once turned down a job with him because he requested us to beat a young college student to the point of death. His ego got bruised after I turned him away and told him I don't hurt innocent people. So he paid o

Is that a threat

The phone buzzed and Gunnar stared at his office phone and then reached for it, resting it against his ear, "Hello, Rebecca.""Mr. Gunnar, Mr. Jason Rossi is here, in the lobby to see you, should I send him up?" Gunnar looked up curiously; a slight frown gracing his features and then he answered, "No.""Pardon?""I will come down to meet him."With that said, he ended the call and then stared at Rene sitting on the couch, drinking a glass of Chateau Lafite 1869 wine."He's here," Gunnar said, watching a faint smirk appear on his lips. "You know what to do," Rene spoke softly without glancing in his direction.Gunnar paused a moment before nodding firmly. "Yes."With that, Gunnar grabbed his phone and then left from his desk, leaving the office.Moments later, when he got down to the lobby, Jason was standing there, and the moment their eyes locked, a cold smile played on his lips."Gunnar, my man! How have you been?" Jason said cheerily, stepping forward and placing his arm around h

Her worth

Butler Thomas walked with a purposeful stride through the halls of the Rossi mansion, carrying black envelopes with a gold dust outline on them in his hand. The family was having their usual breakfast when he walked in, approached Mr. Rossi, and whispered in his ear, "Master, these were delivered a moment ago."With that, he handed the envelopes to his master, who nodded at him, took the envelopes into his hands, and then Butler Thomas walked out of the dining room as quickly as he could.Looking at her husband, Isabella's curiosity filled her, "What is it, my dear?" she asked. A smile spread on her husband's face as he opened it and saw that it was an invitation from Gunnar."Jason, my boy! You actually did it." The old man cried out, tears filling his eyes.The others looked at him confusingly, but he patted Jason on the back, saying, "You know when you told me that you got Mr. Gunnar to agree to a partnership with Rossi enterprise, I was skeptical, especially when two weeks passe

What's his name

One hour to the party.Staring at her closet, Maria kept chewing on her nails, thinking of the possibilities of how she should look tonight.Suddenly, Rene stepped in front of her, and she stopped biting her nails and gazed up at him.Smiling, he said, "Let me be your stylish?""Huh? You?" Maria chuckled, raising her eyebrows."Are you accusing your husband of not having any fashion sense, Mrs. FLores?" Rene retorted.The was something about him calling her by his last name that made Maria bite her lip subconsciously, waking up feeling in Rene that he was struggling to control himself.His eyes darted away from hers, and then he walked over to the closet, opened the door, and rummaged around inside.Unable to hold it in, Maria burst into laughter, causing Rene to turn around to see her smiling broadly at him.He furrowed his brows before returning to searching through his closet. Eventually, his eyes lit up upon finding what he was looking for and he pulled it out.It was a stunning e

Don't disappoint me

Immediately, Leonardo's face fell as he watched Rene approach him, his face blank and indifferent. "You shouldn't be here," Leonardo spoke quietly, his voice laced with distaste, causing Rene to stop in front of him."Who are you?" Rene asked with a raised brow.A look of annoyance crossed Leonardo's features as he looked at Rene through narrowed eyes."How dare you look down on Mr. Varga?!" Ron, Leonardo's head of security shouted.But Varga raised his arm, silencing Ron. He met Rene's cold gaze once more before replying, "Ah-ah... Why get offended? You don't expect such a thing to beware of my image?"A smirk played on his lips at Rene's silence, and then he leaned forward, speaking quietly. "What if I told you that I'm the one interested in your wife?"His smirk faded when Rene continued to glare at him silently. "I know your dumb brain can not comprehend a single word of what I have just said," he said cooly. "But believe me when I tell you that I mean every word."His bodyguards

Forgiveness

“Kia,” Maria began, her voice barely above a whisper. “What are you doing here? You weren’t invited.”Rene met her eyes, his gaze unwavering. Slowly, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, elegant envelope. The golden seal glinted under the chandelier's light, and he handed it to her with a soft smile.“Mr. Gunnar didn't see me as useless after all,” he said quietly, but with a hint of pride. “He sent my invitation later than the rest of the family, and I kept it a secret because I wanted to surprise you. I wanted to make you proud of me.”Tears prickled at the corners of Maria’s eyes as she took the envelope. She could feel the weight of the moment, the tension in the room, the stares from her family and the guests. But all that mattered was the man standing in front of her, the man who had always been by her side despite everything.“Are you proud of me now, Maria?” Rene asked, his voice gentle as he brushed a tear from her cheek. “I know I may not be up to their standar

Tension

The smirk on Ron's face widened as he lifted his shoe slightly, raising a brow at Rene, and mumbled, "Go ahead and amend for your mistake. Lick it."The room was cold with silence and some guest anxiously waited with a mocking smile, their eyes glinting with a cruel interest. Within the blink of an eye, the tip of Rene's shoe slammed into his neck, bringing Ron to his knees with a choked gurgle.Before he could catch his breath, Rene grabbed him by the neck, snatching the smashed Beet Pickled Deviled Eggs off the floor, squeezing his neck till his mouth opened wide enough, and then he shoved the egg into his mouth.When Rene let go, Ron dropped to the floor, choking for air, his eyes widening in horror, unable to speak as he desperately tried to take another breath.The look of horror on the guests' faces deepened, and no one dared move for a while as they watched.A frown finally crossed Leonardo's face, and a bloodthirsty look settled there. He was about to take a step when his fat

The final guest

As the initial shock of the confrontation began to wear off, the murmurs in the room grew louder, each guest grappling with the unexpected turn of events. The members of the Rossi family exchanged bewildered glances, their faces reflecting a mix of shock and concern.“Did you see that? Mr. Gunnar just sided with that... that son-in-law of ours against the Varga family. This is a disaster!” Vittoria's eyes were wide as she whispered to her husband, her voice trembling with disbelief. Josh’s face was pale as he looked around, trying to make sense of the situation. “How could he? This will only anger the Varga family more. They won’t forget this. We’re in serious trouble.”Staring at her parents, Layla couldn’t contain her disbelief. “Did Mr. Gunnar really just back him up?""He's new in the business circle and he dares make enemies with the Vargas. How foolish... He is in for a rude awakening. A lot of people may not want to work with him now." Mr. Abett mumbled with a sigh.Mr. Rossi,
