A Lifetime Of Termoil

Falling for the billionaire's deal: The Deal of a Lifetime

It had been a rainy night. Ayla was only six months old, her small body burning with fever. She had been shivering all day, her tiny fists curling against my chest as she whimpered. The fever medication hadn’t worked. The wet towel treatments barely made a difference. And then, as night fell, her cries weakened, and her small frame went limp in my arms. Panic clawed at my chest. My baby was unconscious. I dialed Sebastian again—my fingers trembling so badly that I nearly dropped my phone. Call after call, I tried reaching him. No answer. He was working as a resident at Aetos Multi-Specialty Hospitals, but it was over an hour away. I had no choice but to rush Ayla to the nearest local hospital. The doctors did their best. I could see it in their tired eyes as they worked tirelessly to stabilize her. Machines beeped. Oxygen masks. Needles. My heart felt like it would stop at any second. “She needs to be transferred,” one of the doctors told me, his voice grim. “We’ve managed to stabilize her vitals for now, but she requires specialized care. Take her to Aetos immediately.” The next thing I knew, we were inside an ambulance. The sirens blared, cutting through the stormy night. Every second felt like an eternity. I held Ayla close, whispering desperate prayers against her damp curls. “Hold on, baby… Please, hold on.” The paramedic beside me checked her vitals repeatedly, his face tense. “We’re almost there,” he assured me. But my heart wouldn’t stop racing. I kept my eyes fixed on her tiny chest, watching for every faint rise and fall. Then, finally, the ambulance screeched to a halt in front of Aetos Multi-Specialty Hospitals. The emergency team was already waiting. They took her from my arms, rushing inside with urgency. I need money. That was the first thought that struck me. I had just started my career in real estate. I barely had a hundred dollars to my name. And the insurance? It wouldn’t cover everything. Ten thousand dollars. That was the estimated cost they gave me. I called Sebastian again. And again. And again. No answer. Desperation overtook me. I had no other choice. My parents weren’t in Eldoria—they lived in another state, a three-hour flight away. But I called them anyway, my voice breaking as I explained the situation. “We’re coming, sweetheart,” my mother said, panic laced in her voice. “Stay strong. We’ll be there soon.” My tears had dried up. My hands were numb from clutching my phone. But the pit in my stomach only grew deeper. I needed to charge my phone, so I stepped outside the PICU, searching for an outlet near the reception. That’s when I saw him. Sebastian. Standing in the dimly lit hospital corridor, his arms wrapped around a crying woman. His lips brushed against her forehead, whispering soft reassurances. My mind went blank. The world around me blurred. Then—darkness. Once, Aurora Adkins was a joyful, simple woman who believed in love. But love betrayed her. Left with nothing but heartbreak and a six months old daughter, Ayla, she clawed her way up from the ruins of her past. Now, she’s a real estate mogul, a self-made powerhouse with a heart of stone. Until she collides with him. Theron Drakos—ruthless, elusive, and heir to the Drakos Corporation. He’s built his empire in the shadows, and now, he’s ready to claim Eldoria. There’s just one problem, Aurora stands in his way. From the moment they meet, it’s war. Deals turn into duels. Boardrooms become battlegrounds. Two unstoppable forces, neither willing to bend. But beneath the sharp words and sharper gazes, something else smolders. Pride says they should walk away. Ego demands they win. But fate? It has other plans.

RISE OF A RACE

"there are two kinds of people, the wise and the intelligent. The wise are those who accumulate wisdom by making mistakes or witnessing others making them and learn from them, no one is born wise, wisdom is acquired by experience and observation of anything and everything, it may be from a job, stories, books, movies, tv shows, even social media... but most importantly history, people who disregard history are foolish, history shows us the mistakes made in the thousands of years of existence of our race, it is accumulated concentrated wisdom, it is the biggest treasure, the sharpest weapon of any civilization. And then we have the intelligent, or the 'deductions specialists' as i like to call them, those are the people that are independent from wisdom or little dependent on it, they don't need the experience of a situation to find a solution, because they find it on their own, they make it on their own on the very first try, they can do so much with so little information and tools, they surpass. Now it's not like they don't make mistakes at all, but it is very rare, and if they do, then the same mistake will never be repeated again. Now both of them are dangerous, but to a manageable degree, the ones that i fear the most are those that combine traits of both wisdom and intelligence, those that learn from their mistakes before even making them, those that undergo every single scenario, think about every single possibility, and never disregard any kind of information, no matter how insignificant it may appear, in their eyes it is worth the world. And that's not even the scariest part about them, they never regret their actions, but they always search for flaws in them, they never strive for perfection, for they know nothing is perfect, they know that they have a limit, and that someday they will reach it, but never stop from trying to find it, because they don't know where it lies and never will, it might be very close and it might be very far. They know there's no such a thing as surpassing your limit, they know they'll never become all powerful, because they're but a creation of the one and only God. Those are the ones i fear, what they can do is unimaginable, yes... I am scared of them... because i myself am one of them." ~Adam kawn~ Accompany Adam on his journey of leading Humans into becoming an multiversal civilization.
