“We have made all the overall estimations, and the results are in. We now know exactly how much we’ll make from the drugs once they’re sold,” Rosella said, standing confidently at the screen. “About trillion of…”

She hadn’t finished the sentence when murmurs rippled through the boardroom.

It was morning, and we were all gathered in the underworld’s meeting hall. Dimly lit, heavy with the scent of old leather and cigar smoke that never quite left the walls.

We had finally prepared everything. The map was rolled out, risks assessed, contingencies planned in meticulous detail. This was the moment before we took it public.

Desmond’s father, Mr. Gent, sat in his usual quiet chair, observing everything without a word.

Yenda was present too, sharp–eyed and composed. My elder sister Catherine sat among them, staring at the room in silence.

This wasn’t her first time in the underworld, but it was the first time she was actually participating. Like me, she still couldn’t understand why Father had suddenly insisted she take over my modeling career as my manager.

“So what is the cover?” my father asked from his seat at the head of the table, his gaze shifting to Catherine.

She looked around slowly, clearly out of her depth.

She was known as a fashionista once. Elegant, trendsetting until her marriage to that asshole husband drained the life out of her.

She had retreated into spending Daddy’s money and nothing else. Now Father seemed determined to force his children together, by fire if necessary.

“I um…” Catherine began quietly, then made a small, pleading face. “Dad, this is…”

“What is the cover, Catherine?” Father asked again, his voice hardening.

She swallowed hard, sighed shakily, and glanced around the table once more. When her eyes met Father’s, the look he gave her made the hairs on my arms stand on end.

‘We’re planning on Aura X,” she said, slipping into her polished, posh tone as she rose and pressed a button on the remote.

We all turned to the large screen. A sleek skincare line appeared. Elegant packaging, soft lighting, premium branding.

‘Aura X Skin System. We have three distinct sets. Godlike Legal Empire will launch the product the moment the papers are signed.

Cupid will front the men’s line as the brand ambassador. The pricing will be jaw–dropping but realistic. High enough to feel exclusive, low enough to move volume.

In the market, it will hit hard. Profits will be enormous on the surface… but the real elevation of net worth will come from the drug evenue pouring in underneath. Aura X will be the front–page headline.”

Murmurs rose again. Approval, calculation, quiet excitement. The board members leaned in, talking among themselves until Beta sky, who had been unusually silent, spoke up.

“There should be a female model brand ambassador too, right?”

Catherine considered it for a moment, then nodded. “That would make it more effective, yes.”

“Have you chosen one yet?” he pressed. “How about Rosella?”

1 turned to him in confusion. Rosella?

“She’s not a model to begin with, Uncle,” Desmond replied evenly.

Beta Sky lifted his gaze to him once, sharp, dismissive then looked back at the table.

“She’ll adapt. What do you think, Alpha Ruis?”

Slowly, every head turned to my father.

There was no way he would agree. Not now. Not after everything.

“I love the presentation Catherine has put together,” Father said calmly. “And when it comes to the legal empire, fairness is non- negotiable.

“Instead of… pushing your daughter into it, Sky, how about we keep this fair? Let Catherine, the manager decide. Is Rosella the perfect fit to partner with Cupid for the Aura X launch, or do we go with another model?”

“Another model? Who?” Beta Sky’s voice dropped into something low and threatening. “Now you’re trying to take that away from her too just like you broke the betrothal between our children? Huh?”

The room froze.

Everyone’s eyes flicked between Beta Sky and my father.

“If this is about the engagement between our children,” Father said evenly, “I already told you I broke it because my son does not love your daughter. That has nothing to do with anything.”

“That’s a lie!” Beta Sky shot to his feet, jaw clenched so hard the muscle jumped. “You’re unfair, and you know it. After everything I’ve done, years of loyal service and this is how you repay me? Let an adopted rogue come between us? Fine. Forget it. I’m out.”

He stormed toward the door.

“Dad!” Rosella cried, rising quickly after him.

The silence that followed was thick and uncomfortable. It lingered until Yenda flashed his usual easy smile, the one that smoothed

over cracks.

“We’ll move forward with the launch, Father. Right?”

“Right,” Father answered quietly.

The meeting ended.

Everyone rose, bowed respectfully, and filed out until only a few remained. My uncle, Mr. Gent, my father, and us.

Mr. Gent stared at the Alpha for a long, heavy moment before finally speaking. The man who rarely parted his lips unless it

mattered.

“Let me find a crime against him,” he said quietly. “Have him locked up for a few months. Maybe years. When he comes back, he’ll be stable.”

Father swallowed, stared at the table for several seconds, then slowly shook his head.
