On the top floor of a tall building a man was standing near the window admiring the evening view of the city. There was a knock on the door
"Come in," said Jason in a cold voice
"Young Master, madam called and she left a message for you to inform you that you're required to be at the Old Mansion before 5 pm," said assistant Russ after entering the office
Jason glances towards the clock to check the time, only one hour was left before 5 pm
"Okay call the driver and get the car ready and I want the detailed
information on the project I asked you," said Jason looking toward his assistant
"Yes Young Master," said Russ before leaving the office
Jason knew the reason for which his mother was calling him to the Old Mansion and glanced at the small photo frame on his desk, a young lady in a cute pink dress was smiling sweetly looking towards the camera.
"Anne.. " said Jason in a whisper while smiling sadly
The smiling lady in the photo was Anne Williams, daughter of Aaron Williams who was his father's business partner and childhood friend.
In City Z there are the three most rich families residing for many years- the Blacks, the Johnsons, and the Williams. The most powerful and richest among them was the Black family which is in a good alliance with the Williams family.
Jason Black the heir to the Black family and CEO of the company 'Empire' is known for his cold and heartless nature, due to which many people are scared of him.
He also possessed the title of the leader of the dangerous underworld organization 'The Tigers'. Before him, his father was the leader of the organization and with the help of Williams, he became the most dangerous leader.

At the Old Mansion,
Jason reached near the gate and the guards started greeting him, he nodded at them coldly before entering the house.
Ed the Head Butler greeted him
"Young Master, you're back the Williams family and everyone is waiting for you in the living room"
Jason nodded and moved towards the living room and halted for a second looking at how everyone in the room is chatting excitedly with each other
"Jason you're here," said a sweet and loud voice from his left side
and a hand interlocked with his arm
"Olivia.. " said Jason looking at her, everyone in the room looked at them.
"Look how sweet they are looking together, isn't it Eva?" said Madison Williams smiling towards Jason's mother Eva
"Yes Madi, you're right," said Eva smiling at Madison
"Jason, you came at the perfect time come here and have a sit," said Eva to Jason pointing at the couch
Jason sat on the couch with Olivia on his side and greeted everyone present in the room- Aaron Williams and his wife Madison Williams, Ray and Eva Black his parents, and his younger sister Nora, who was two years younger than him
"You wanted to see me mother!?" asked Jason coldly
"We were talking about your and Olivia's engagement party which will be held this coming Saturday," said Madison Williams excitedly looking sweetly at Olivia
"What!?" said Jason with a shocked expression looking toward his father and Aaron Williams with a questioning gaze
"What's the matter Jason, you don't want to marry me?" said Olivia with a pale and pitiful expression
Nora rolled her eyes at Olivia's tactics her dislike towards Olivia was obvious, she never liked her behavior.
"I'm going to my room," said Nora to her parents without even glancing at Olivia
"Say something, Jason don't you want to marry me?" said Olivia with tears in her eyes
"Of course, I want to marry you. But don't you think this is a little early?" said Jason to Olivia in a gentle manner
"But Jason...." before she could say anything her words were cut off by Jason's father
"Jason come to the office, I want to discuss some matters with you," said Ray Jason's father, and left the room with Aaron Williams
Jason looked at his mother and then at Olivia before leaving the room, Eva nodded her head in understanding.
"Come on Olivia we have to go shopping, so much work left for us to do before the engagement," said Madison clapping her hands excitedly
"Yes, Aunt Madison...but we should wait for my Mom, she is excited about my engagement and wants to join us for the shopping," said Olivia to Madison with a smiling face
Madison stilled and the smile on her face fell she looked towards Eva with an awkward face and smiled hiding her embarrassment.
Olivia was Aaron's illegitimate daughter, born from his relationship with his former girlfriend, Sophie Smith. Aaron had never known that Sophie was pregnant. By the time Olivia came into the world, he had already married Madison and started a new life with her.
For years, the truth remained hidden.
When Olivia was five years old, tragedy struck. Sophie was involved in a serious car accident and, with no one else to rely on, she reached out to Aaron. She begged him to look after their daughter until she recovered.
Aaron couldn't refuse.
The day he brought Olivia home, Madison was furious.
She couldn't accept that the child of her husband's former lover would be living under the same roof as her and their three-year-old daughter, Anne.
In her anger, Madison gave Aaron an ultimatum.
"If she stays, Anne and I will leave."
Aaron was devastated. He loved Madison with all his heart and couldn't bear the thought of losing his wife and daughter. He pleaded with her, promising that Olivia would never replace Anne.
