Lisa smiled as Arnold escorted Rocky, who was injured and still hobbling, out of the apartment. Having no idea what this meant for her marriage, she could only wallow in the feeling that she was finally free from the clutches of the madman she called her husband, and Lisa couldn't be happier. Getting married to an alcoholic and self-centered human got six years had been a roller coaster ride for Lisa.Sure, he provided her with whatever she needed financially—which was the primary reason she'd persevered and stayed with him all these years—but what about the days when he came home raving at her like a lunatic?He might have had a difficult day at work or with his gang mates, and he always vented his rage on her. He'd refuse to eat her meal and even fuck her roughly, regardless of whether she was in the mood. All these and more Lisa had to endure.Most times, she’d get sick from all the abuse as expected, and worse still, her hormones wouldn't let her take anything without the drugs

"Make it rain." As Arnold made that statement, he looked up at the sky with an almost unbreakable concentration. It didn't take long at all. A chopper swooped overhead, flashing a powerful light down the ground below, lighting every nook and cranny of the vast field where Arnold stood with the gang members just two minutes after he made the phone call. Murmurs erupted from the assembled crowd, and Arnold could hear many of them inquire. "What the hell is going on?" Arnold heard Rocky inquire at the same time too. "Mr. Stone, What exactly is going on?"The limping man sounded terrified, and Arnold just chuckled. "Oh, you'll see what happens soon. Let's say in 5...4...3...2...1 and go." With that remark, the helicopter's lights faded, and something else occurred. The chopper's jaws sprang wide, and dollar notes flew out like bullets, showering down like hail. The paper bills flew everywhere, causing the gang members to shout and run around as the entire scene devolved into chaos.

It was another hectic morning in Mr. Xiu's office, and Arnold was the only one there besides Mr. Xiu himself.The room was littered with papers, which were tossed around indiscriminately, but Mr. Xiu didn't appear to mind. Instead, he seemed transfixed on his computer screen, frantically tapping away on the keyboard and muttering something under his breath. Arnold controlled his smirk as his hands moved quickly across the keys.This scenario in front of him was relatively common, and it occurred daily during their working hours. Mr. Xiu didn't become the Ghost Of Wall Street by accident—he worked hard, and it showed in his everyday routine. The older man would plop his ass, turn on the computers intended for trading stocks, and get to work once he arrived at the office, ate breakfast, and attended any meetings or appointments he'd booked. His resilience and drive inspired Arnold, and he was eternally grateful that he was trained in the business world by this eccentric man. Mr. Xiu

As the evening continued, Arnold found himself engaged in Jia's attractive company. The clinking of cutlery and the occasional bursts of laughter from surrounding tables produced a lovely environment around them as they sat in a cozy corner of the restaurant, bathed in gentle candlelight and engaged in vibrant conversation.Arnold couldn't help but notice Jia's date outfit—a flowing gown that complemented her grace and beauty—as they relaxed and had a good time. Her beauty was unrivaled by anyone Arnold had ever met, but his attraction to her remained unabated. He was captivated by the woman. Her beauty was a rare treasure in one person, and he wanted to know all about it. He wanted to investigate every element of this extraordinary being. And he was also intrigued by how she looked so beautiful without even trying."Your hands are so lovely..." Her comments jolted him back into the present, and the compliment surprised him. As if on cue, her hands materialized in front of his ey

“Money? How much are they asking?" Little Xiu inquired, already worried."Three thousand dollars, they say! They want three thousand dollars!""No way! No way am I going to donate so much money to a guy who has lost himself and doesn't even cherish his buddies.""Please, Xiu, please!" Selise begged, tears running down her cheeks, and that's when Xiu snapped.He had a soft spot for her, and seeing her so out of sorts and pleading for his sake irritated him even more. He also felt a pang of jealousy as he pondered if she would beg the same way for him if he were in the same or worse predicament.Xiu knew her pity still tied her for Micah, or perhaps it was because she felt she owed him so much. After all, his grandparents had taken care of her.Her parents were now frequently gone from her life, and their relationship had deteriorated significantly since their divorce.Her mother was the only one who stayed, and she wasn't much help. The woman constantly ignored her and her sister, as s
