A storm was coming.
And everyone in Emerald City knew—
It had a name.
Ochieng.
His power was no longer just whispered about in the dark corners of elite circles.
It was being written in blood.
The Blackwoods had made a mistake.
A mistake so grave that the very foundations of their empire were beginning to crumble.
And in the heart of it all—
Serena was standing beside the man they had underestimated.
---
Ochieng stood at the top of his skyscraper, looking down at the city.
He had built this world.
And now, it was time to decide who deserved to stay in it.
Jeff, his most trusted enforcer, stepped forward. "The Blackwoods are desperate. Their businesses are losing money by the second."
Ochieng smirked. "Good."
He turned to Serena, his eyes glinting with something dark.
"And you? Ready to betray the family that once protected you?"
Serena took a deep breath.
She wasn't afraid of him.
She was afraid of what she was willing to do for him.
"I was never truly one of them."
Ochieng chuckled. "Then it's time you prove it."
---
The streets of Emerald City were silent at midnight.
And then—
Bang.
A single gunshot shattered the peace.
Kieran Blackwood clutched his shoulder, blood spilling through his expensive suit.
He turned, breathless, eyes locking on the last person he ever expected.
Serena.
Gun in hand.
Eyes cold.
She had just crossed the line.
She had chosen a side.
And from this moment on—
There was no turning back.
---
Ochieng stepped over Kieran's fallen body, barely sparing him a glance.
"Finish the job," he ordered.
Serena hesitated for only a second.
And then—
She pulled the trigger.
Boom.
The war was no longer just a game of business.
It was personal.
And now?
Emerald City belonged to only one man.
Ochieng.
