The Almighty Dominance novel Chapter 46

Alex sat at a café table, his mind drifting as fragments of his memory began to unravel.

He couldn’t quite recall his mother’s face, but he remembered this medallion she had given him.

“Alex, if you ever get lost, use this medallion to find your why home.” Her voice had been urgent, full of warning.

He remembered her telling him to hide, someone was chasing them. But who? He couldn’t piece it together.

The next memory was of him waking up at the orphanage, the medallion already gone from his possession.

These must have been his memories before he ended up there.

Touching the cold, surface of the medal, Alex knew he had to track it down to find his mother and reclaim his past.

Suddenly his phone rang.

“Alex,” Jasmine’s voice was soft but tense.

“Yes?”

“Can you help me by accompanying me to my banquet?”

Alex wanted to refuse, but he remembered his promise to Abraham–to ensure the Kingston partnership was handed over to the Lancasters, even though Sophia had divorced him.

His mission to find his mother’s trace was already solved by Sophia’s medallion.

This had been the purpose of the marriage from the start, after all.

As he hesitated, Jasmine added, “My father forbade me from using our car, saying there might be a tracking device or possibly an attack. And now I can’t reach him. He seems so busy, and my banquet starts in a few hours. It’s my first one, Alex.”

“Alright,” he sighed. “I’ll take you to your banquet.”

“Thank you, Alex,” Jasmine replied with relief.

He hung up and glanced at himself.

He couldn’t show up in something so plain as Jasmine’s partner, not for her first public appearance.

He needed to make her look good.

Picking up his phone, he said, “Julia, arrange my suit and everything I’ll need for the banquet.”

“Yes, Master,” she replied.

Meanwhile, at the Lancaster mansion, Sophia had just finished transferring money to Chris, who had already signed the BioHealth Solutions ownership papers over to her.

“Chris, why don’t you just sign the marriage papers now?” Mrs. Lancaster asked with a sly smile.

“Mrs. Lancaster,” Chris responded politely.

“Don’t call me Mrs. Lancaster. Call me mother–in–law. Or mother is fine.”

Chris nodded awkwardly.

Chapter 46

“Mother, Sophia just signed the divorce papers. Signing a marriage certificate and a divorce paper at the same time doesn’t feel right. But tomorrow morning, we’ll go to the government office first thing! I’ll bring all the BioHealth documents tomorrow too. It’s late now, and we need to attend the banquet to secure the Kingston- Lancaster partnership.”

“You’re right,” Mrs. Lancaster agreed, satisfied.

What she didn’t know was that Chris had no intention of signing the marriage papers.

Today, his father had secured a $100 million loan, using BigHealth as leverage.

Chris knew the company was on shaky ground. All he needed to do was handing the ownership papers to Sophia.

This meant the Lancasters would have to repay the loan to reclaim full control of BioHealth.

Not far away, voices echoed from the living hall.

“What are you doing behind my back? Why are people at the office saying you’re draining all of the Lancaster Group’s cash reserves?” Abraham’s voice boomed, filled with frustration.

“What do you know, old man?” Grandma Lancaster’s voice cut in, sharp and dismissive. “We need that money to secure our partnership with Kingston!”

“Why do you need money to secure the partnership?” Abraham asked, confusion coloring his tone.

“You’re too old to understand. Just take care of your health and let the younger generation handle the business,” Grandma Lancaster snapped back.

A long silence followed before a butler entered and called for Sophia.

“Master Abraham needs you in the living hall.”

Sophia’s heart raced as she made her way to the hall.

“Grandpa,” she greeted softly.

Abraham sat weakly in his chair, his eyes weary but focused 1

“Sophia, I gave you the position of CEO of Lancaster Group–not your parents, not your uncle, and certainly not your cousins. I know you’re smarter than all of them.”

“I’ll take care of Lancaster Group, Grandpa,” Sophia reassured him. “Just focus on your health.”

Abraham sighed heavily. “Listen to me, Sophia. When I was younger, I signed a contract with a secret organization. I’m bound by that contract, unable to reveal the full truth–not even to my family.”

Sophia stared at him, stunned. She had never known this.

“The Lancaster Group was built with their help,” he continued. “All I ask is one thing–please don’t divorce Alex.”

Sophia’s heart pounded faster, guilt creeping in. She had already filed for divorce.

“Your grandmother and the others can’t see what’s hidden in people. They don’t judge character well. I would never put you in harm’s way. Believe me, Alex is more than he lets on.”
