Lev the Start of Everything in Between

FAREWELL & POWERFUL ALLIES

After a week of serenity and joy in the company of Lev and Dr. Luke, it was time for Eros and Zara to return to Dubai. The four of them stood near the private hangar in the south wing of the airport, where the sleek silver jet bearing Eros's family crest waited patiently.

Feels too soon," Luke said with a fond smile, pulling Zara into a warm hug. "Come back anytime."

Lev clapped Eros on the shoulder. "Next time, we'll come visit you. Don't think you can escape us forever."

Just then, a black luxury car pulled up quietly near the hangar. A woman stepped out, dressed with elegant simplicity — long coat, sharp eyes, and the unmistakable air of someone who moves with purpose. She approached with a soft smile and a small, finely wrapped envelope in her hand.

"Mr. Eros, Ms. Zara," she greeted politely. "I'm Ms. Kim, assistant to Ms. Lenny — Lev's mother."

Zara exchanged a quick glance with Eros, intrigued.

Ms. Lenny asked me to give this to you," Ms. Kim continued, handing the envelope with a slight bow. "She said, 'I hope you like her present.'"

Eros took it gently. "Please tell Mom Lenny," he said with a charming grin, "that whatever it is, I'm already grateful. Anything from her is a gift."

Ms. Kim smiled faintly and nodded before walking back toward her car. Lev and Dr. Luke gave one last wave, stepping into their vehicle as well.

Eros and Zara walked up the private staircase to their jet, hand in hand, still holding the unopened card. Inside, the flight attendant welcomed them aboard, and the engines began to hum softly.

The Gift of Power: A Message from Lenny

As the jet cruised above the clouds, Eros and Zara sat side by side, still reflecting on the warmth of their Canadian farewell. The soft hum of the engines made the atmosphere feel calm, yet charged with anticipation — like the quiet before a life-changing moment.

Zara glanced at Eros, her fingers tracing the edge of the elegant card from Lenny. "She's a force," she whispered, smiling. "And she's not done surprising us."
it was a sleek envelope, jet black with a gold seal.Eros took it, recognizing the seal — the signature of Lenny herself.

He opened the envelope and read aloud:

"As my present to you..."

Zara leaned in as Eros continued, his voice calm but intrigued.

To Eros,
"I know you have a collaboration with GL ELECTRONICS under your EROS company, approved by both CEOs and owners — Liam and Loraine, my beloved grand daughter and nephew. But I would like to officially add my share to that collaboration. From this moment forward, the three of us are united in this venture."

Zara's eyes widened. "Lenny's joining the project?"

Eros read on:

"This will result in the opening of new alliances across industries and countries. Once you land in Dubai, you'll receive documents that need to be completed and signed. If you have no questions or concerns about my gift, just sign. Your business will expand — swiftly globally before you know it"

Your Family & Allies
Lenny

Then came the final lines, the unmistakable voice of the Lenny they had come to admire — and never underestimate:

"I may no longer hold an official position. But don't mistake that for weakness. I am still Lenny. And I'm more powerful than ever. Don't underestimate me."

Eros chuckled, shaking his head in awe. "She plays chess while the world plays checkers."

Zara laughed softly. "And she just made us partners with a legend."
