Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNikolas pressed on, his voice low and razor-sharp. "If McCoy Group ever falls into your hands, I'll make it my mission to bring you crashing down. Why are you so smug now? You don't have the character for this. Even if you manage to grab hold..." ...of the position, it won't last. You should really take a long, hard look at your own abilities." Without sparing another glance, Nikolas strode away, leaving Kohen standing there-frozen and rattled, unable to pull himself together for a long while.
Hamilton's birthday arrived that weekend. He sent out invitations to Cedric and Daniela, then turned to Alexander with a calculating glint in his eyes. "Daniela's afraid of heights. That day, lure her up to the rooftop. The rest will be up to you." Alexander blinked, confused. "The rooftop?" A mocking smirk curved Hamilton's mouth. "Her greatest weakness is heights. You've known her this long and never figured that out?" Alexander looked utterly thrown. "She's scared of heights? Who told you that?" Hamilton's eyes glittered with mischief. “You don't need to know where I heard it. Just trust me—it's your best shot with Daniela. Leave Cedric to me; I'll make sure he stays busy in the study." Hesitating, Alexander remarked, "Cedric isn't the type to just do what he's told." But Hamilton only laughed, brimming with confidence. "Relax. I have my ways." Hamilton intended to reveal to the world that day that Cedric was his son, offering him formal recognition. That way, Cedric might find sbalance against the ache of losing Daniela. For a man with status, wealth, and power, finding company was seldom a struggle.
Hamilton held firm belief in the power he had built through the years. Alexander wasn't sure how Hamilton planned to keep Cedric busy, but he knew Daniela's weakness wasn't a fear of heights. But if Hamilton's schtruly unfolded as planned...

The McCoy family sat at the pinnacle of Oiscoll's elite, their influence stretching far and wide. For Hamilton's birthday, the city's most powerful and prestigious would gather under one roof. Entry involved a full search, and carrying something as obvious as fresh blood would draw immediate suspicion.
Alexander paused briefly, then told the secretary, "Bringa small fruit knife-something discreet and easy to hide."
The secretary looked confused.
Daniela "Didn't Mr. McCoy say Daniela feared You could simply take her to heights? Yo the rooftop. Why would you need a knife?"
Alexander offered no explanation "Just do it." The content is on novelenglish.net!
Hamilton fretted over whether Daniela and Cedric would even bother showing up to his birthday banquet. He cornered Nikolas and Damon. If Daniela and Cedric don't show up on my birthday and makelook like a fool, you two will pay for it!" He added dismissively, "It's just a party. What's there to fear? I'm not going to bite their heads off."
