~Excerpt~ "Excuse me, Mrs Blackwood." He said to me as we stepped out of the courtroom. My feet halted on the spot, my face reddening with so much rage I tried to conceal it to no avail. The sound of the word Mrs sounded sour in my ears, especially having him call me that. Not that I was not at the age I should have gotten married, but because I had betrayed my boyfriend by marrying another man. "I am your husband now, at least I deserve a kiss from my newly wedded wife. That is the norm after couples get married, right?" Now what was he saying? He must be totally insane! It felt as if my fist cracked because of how much it clenched. Wasn't it enough he made me betray my boyfriend? He is not even ashamed of his greediness. Not even a bit of it showed on his face! "I've given you what you want, Liam Blackwood; a signature of my marriage to you. Now if you know what's good for you, it's left for you to give me what I want as we agreed." "I never said I was not going to keep to our agreement. Agreement is an agreement!" He exclaimed, chuckling as if I had said something amusing. "However..." He said and paused in a way that made me feel my heart also paused and started beating again, racing with anticipation when he began stepping closer to me. I instinctively moved backward, trying to create some distance between us, but he kept advancing, his eyes locked on mine with an intensity that made my breath catch in my throat. He continued until I felt my back hit on his godforsaken car. I could feel his red blood eyes bore into mine and his hands trapping me against his car as if caging a cat that fought to escape. "It seems you have forgotten the meaning of marriage, my Little Bunny. Maybe I have to remind you." I could see that playful smile return on his lips, it irked me so much that the need to smash it off his face irked my hands. He then leaned in closer, his breath whispering against my ear. "Marriage means a legally recognized union between two individuals," His voice was barely audible, but his words resonated deeply into my ears as he began to explain what he knew as marriage. "characterized by emotional commitment, legal responsibility, and social recognition, often involving mutual respect, trust, and a...deep emotional connection." The way he stressed the last words made my heart skip remembering the state of the contract. Was the deep emotional connection going to happen between us? This was killing me already. The next I saw was his hands trailing down the angles of my neck, going towards my cheeks and... "Can't we...do this...some other time? I mean, we cannot just do it here...in front of people." I tried to speak some senses into him, feeling so embarrassed and flushed at the touch of his hands. I didn't know why it made my heart beat so fast again, like it did before. "Yes, we can my darling. We are a couple, after all, so it's nobody's business. No law is against husband and wife kissing in public. It's only a kiss, I didn't ask you for sex here." He returned his hand to my neck again. I couldn't get over the sensational touch that tingled in my stomach. We can't do this now for goodness sake! People are looking! "Now, make me feel the sweet touch of your lips, my Little Bunny." As he finished speaking, his lips brushed against my ears sending a thrill through my entire body. Next, he lowered his face until it was just an inch away from mine. ~~~ I joined the contest "Viral Book Call" with this novel. Please support me. Thank you so much.

In 1984, America's streets were already a powder keg of crime and chaos. Then came Sean Rockefeller – and he brought matches to the party.

While others fought over street corners, he was building an empire that would touch everything from Hollywood to Wall Street. This wasn't just another crime story. This was about transformation: From a pizza shop worker to legal mastermind From street survivor to entertainment mogul From nobody to somebody who made Hollywood executives sweat From target to the head of an elite security operation From hustler to legitimate businessman One bullet to the head should have ended his story.

His empire would stretch from the courtrooms to the movie studios, from private security to legitimate business ventures. Some called him a thug who got lucky. Others said he was a genius who gamed the system. But everyone agreed on one thing: Once Sean Rockefeller entered the game, nothing in America's criminal landscape would ever be the same. They say America is the land of reinvention. Sean Rockefeller took that idea and ran with it – all the way to the bank.

As he navigates this dangerous new world, he must confront his past and decide whether to embrace his father's legacy or forge his own path.

Introduction: Deep within the fabric of society, forces move among the darkest social circles. To the average citizen, the world seems governed by laws, governments, and visible institutions that maintain order. However, behind every major decision, beyond the ministers' councils, in assemblies and courtrooms, darker interests lurk—those that operate in secret, invisible to the public eye. These powerful beings are bound by a web of influence and conspiracies, whose sole purpose is to shape the world's fate according to their own agendas. Throughout history, this network has crossed borders, manipulated economies, and silently altered the course of global events. Truth becomes relative, as control of information is the most potent tool in their hands. For those aware of their existence, escaping their influence is nearly impossible. Lies are disguised as facts, and reality is distorted at the conspirators' convenience, with identities as elusive as their motives. In this secret society, power is not ostentatious but subtle. It seeps into institutions and governments, moving its pieces with lethal precision. For those who dare challenge it, the consequences are severe, for truth is a dangerous currency that few can afford. Silence is bought, dissent is eliminated, and loyalty is measured by an individual's usefulness. However, even the most meticulous plans can falter, and when they do, the ensuing chaos is devastating. Amid this landscape of intrigue, where deception and mistrust reign, the world keeps spinning, oblivious to what truly happens beneath the surface. But occasionally, a crack forms in the carefully constructed reality. A mistake, a miscalculated decision, can set in motion a series of events beyond the control of those who believe they hold the world's reins. It is in these moments that the true nature of hidden power is revealed. Key players are brought into the fray, and those who think they are in control realize that even they are expendable. The truth, buried for so long, begins to surface, bringing danger to those who seek to expose it. In this labyrinth of secrets and betrayals, no one is safe. Neither the powerful nor the innocent can escape the consequences when the balance is broken. And as loyalties crumble, only one question remains: Who are the true masters of destiny?
