The Devil’s Throne
Opening Scene – The Price of Power
Victor Langley was no longer a king.
His empire? Destroyed.
His wealth? Gone.
His men? Scattered.
And the one responsible?
Damien Sterling.
Victor sat in his darkened study, a gun in one hand, a drink in the other. "That bastard played me."
His phone rang.
A voice on the other end. "Victor. You were warned about him."
Victor's fingers tightened around the glass. "I want him dead."
A pause. Then—
"Then you'll need me."

The Birth of a New Power
Meanwhile, Damien stood at the top of a high-rise, looking over the city.
He had taken everything from Victor.
But there was still one problem.
"The Syndicate," Luther said beside him. "They won't accept this."
Selene smirked. "Then let them try to stop us."
Damien's voice was cold. "We don't wait for them. We make the first move."
A new empire was rising.
And it belonged to him.

The Syndicate's Response
The Serpent Syndicate held a meeting that night.
The room was filled with killers, crime lords, and corrupt politicians.
Victor stood before them, seething. "Damien Sterling is a problem. And problems… get eliminated."
An old man at the head of the table—Don Marconi—leaned forward.
"Then we send the Reaper."
Silence.
Then murmurs.
Selene's smile vanished. "They wouldn't."
Luther exhaled. "They just did."

Enter the Reaper
The Reaper.
A ghost.
A legend.
A man with no past.
Damien had heard of him.
A hitman who never failed.
And now?
He was coming for Damien.
"Let him come," Damien said, lighting a cigarette.
His enemies thought they had found the perfect assassin.
They had just sent a man to kill the devil himself.

Final Scene – The Silent War Begins
The night was quiet.
But in the shadows?
War was brewing.
And Damien Sterling?
He was ready.
