Mello chuckled and casually dropped the necklace he was holding, then turned to face them ." Would you like me to do it again." Mello said, a mischievous glint dancing in his eyes noticing the scowl forming on the man's face.Few people gathered around to see what was happening. A look of fear was on their face as they recognized the thugs as a member of the Black kings." I'll teach you a lesson for this!" the man growled, lunging forward to grab Mello by the collar with brute force With a smirk, Mello skillfully dodged the man's grasp, retaliating with swift blows.At the same time, a black card fell from Mello's pocket, it's significance unnoticed by all but a few keen observers.The man painful cries filled the store leaving an astonished look on everyone who watched.The other two thugs became hesitant after seeing what happened to their companion." Let's go man, he ain't worth the stress," they muttered and dashed out of the store.The man was enraged." No. I'm never letting

Ana hesitated for a moment, her eyes taking in her surroundings, capturing the weight of the moment.This was it. The very moment that would forever change the course of Ashley group.She glanced at Mello and could sense the tension etched on his face and sent him an reassuring smile.She turned to the wall screen and Mello's picture was instantly displayed on it, then she turned back to the investors and the next thing she did shocked everyone." The final stage of this process requires each and every one of you to sign and consent Mello of his rights to become the new heir" Ana said, prompting murmurs to ripple among the investors." How is this fair? " A voice from the crowd interjected." Impossible! How can a nobody with little to no experience suddenly take over a multi- trillion-dollar corporation? This is pure suicide."" I'm never taking part in this, And how the hell was he able to gather that much shares? I suspect foul play here, just count me out.""What nonsense! I thoug

Mello turned to Ana, his face contorted with anger and betrayal." How could he do this to me, Ana? How could Father just decide my fate without even consulting me?"Ana sighed, her expression a mix of sympathy and apprehension." Mello, please calm down. I know this is difficult, but yelling won't change anything."Mello stopped and glared at Ana, his eyes burning with intensity.Few people turned to gaze at him but at that moment, he cared less." You knew about this, didn't you? You knew about this arrangement and you didn't bother to tell me?"Ana looked down, unable to meet Mello's accusatory gaze." I .. I only found out recently, Mello. Father made me promise not to say anything. He thought it would be easier if you heard it from him."Mello clenched his fists, his jaw tensing with suppressed anger." Easier? Easier for whom, Ana? Certainly not for me! I refuse to be entangled to someone I barely know, all for the sake of some stupid family alliance."Ana reached out quietly, p

Ana looked at him intently, her tears welling up and flowing down her cheeks." I'm sorry I can't be with you this time," she smiled, managing a smile amidst her sorrow." Just take the time you need to heal... I'll be back soon. Let big brother finish the job, " Mello assured her and she smiled.He then took her to rest on the couch before stepping out.Immediately Mello got out, he was greeted by the comforting warmth rays of the orange sun and had to shield his his eyes with his hands against it's brightness.He approached one of the guards who straightened on his feets immediately he saw Mello approaching." Who's Reece?" Mello inquired and a man not more than his age, stepped forward and saluted." Present, Sir!"Mello nodded." Good. Can I trust you to take care of my sister for me untill I return" Mello asked him with a serious tone." Yes, sir! I swear on my life sir!"" And if a single strand of her hair gets hurt, I would make sure to make your life miserable for all eterni

Mello who was confused, looked into the system and his face twitched into that of surprise and shock as he read the screen." Dad..." Mello tried to say but was cut short." How is this possible? The hospital has finally been locked down by government due to numerous complaints and all the sick patients are stranded and our workers displaced. God, our powerful patients might sue us for this, it's all Sir Ren's doing," Ana exclaimed as Mello stared intently at the screen.Mello slowly paused, taking a moment to process what was happening.His fear was slowly becoming a reality." Dad, I'm sorry... I lost focus and made a mistake" Ana's voice quivered as she spoke, her gaze fixed on the ground.Mello instinctively placed a comforting hand on her shoulders, easing her discomfort before directing his attention back to his father. " But Dad, I'm working on something, something that'll hit him so hard he'll regret ever findling with Ashley Group," Mello interjected, wanting to take the bur
