Nikolas flinched. His expression tightened as a new thought crept in—if Hamilton really unleashed his fury on Cedric, what would happen to his own standing? Whatever brief comfort Nikolas had felt was gone now-replaced by a gnawing sense of dread.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOne by one, the brothers drifted off, each lost in his own tangle of worries.
Days passed quietly—at least on the surface. Then, trouble began to ripple outward. Daniela's restaurant cto a sudden standstill, struggling to acquire the most basic ingredients.
Not long after, their construction cto a halt. Materials ordered from Olisvine never arrived. No explanation. Just silence.
Worry etched across his features, Nikolas called an urgent meeting with his brothers.
"This situation is spiraling," he said, his voice low and heavy. "If things keep heading in this direction, it's only a matter of tbefore Daniela and Cedric fold under Dad's pressure." Kohen's expression turned stormy. "And when that happens, the inheritance gets stretched thinner. One more non the list." "Not just one," Nikolas said sharply. "Cedric has a wife, and she's not exactly weak. If they ever decide to have a child, that kid would be Dad's first grandchild-automatically in line for the McCoy legacy." The weight of that possibility hit the room hard, draining color from their faces. “We have to act now," Nikolas continued, his tone firm.

Daniela gave a small nod. "Is there something you need?" Damon, struggling to keep his emotions in check, said, "You've been someone I've looked up to for so many years, and that's why I had to cwarn you. You and Cedric need to leave as soon as possible. My father isn't the type to show any mercy. His tactics are far more ruthless than anything Nikolas would ever do. You won't be able to handle what he has planned. And it's not just him—the other brothers don't want you in Oiscoll either. The McCoy family holds enormous power here. You've provoked him, and because of that, there's no chance you'll be able to establish a successful business. Please, get out while you still have the chance." A soft smile tugged at Daniela's lips. "I appreciate you coming to tell me. But I'm not going anywhere. I don't believe that I will."
Right then, a gust of wind swept through the street, catching strands of her long hair and the air like a flating them into raised in quiet rebellion. Damon stood there, staring at her unshaken expression, and something settled inside him. There was no longer any doubt-she truly was Shim.
Before heading out, Damon turned back and told Daniela, "If you even need anything, just say the word. I might not have much pull, but I'll do everything I can."
Daniela gave a silent nod in response. With that Damon took his ve leave.
