CHAPTER ONEThe room was adorned and decorated with crimson velvet drapes cascading from the ceiling, crystal chandeliers on marble floor and priceless art hanged beautifully, adorning the walls.Kevin stared intensely at the art as he buttoned his shirt, appreciating its beauty when his phone rang,“Hello, who is this?” Kevin couldn’t help but ask.The individual on the interface exhibited a high sense of impatience.“Hey! Kevin, it’s me. It worked! You’re rich again”Kevin discerned the voice as belonging to one of his acquaintance in the realm of investments, Jonathan.“Hey Jonathan, slow down. What worked?” he was confused“C’mon! Your investment in Sunset Haven group paid off! You now have more money than your entire family! You’re rich again my friend!”Kevin found Jonathan’s words utterly incredulous. They seemed too perfect to be real.“I don’t believe you, Jonathan. How did that happened? Is this a prank?”Jonathan’s words were too good to be true.“My friend, it is real! Why

“Lily, is there something you’re keeping from me? What exactly is going on at work? You seem more stressed than usual.”Lily sighed“My company received a new contract last month and there was an error in the calculation of the data. Our products did not meet the requirements so we need to compensate them with seven million. My company’s funds will not able to turn around which means that, I might need to at least get four million dollars of investment in a week, otherwise my company will most likely go bankrupt. I can’t do that to my employees.”Monica’s eyes widened,“How are you supposed to find someone willing to invest four million dollars in a week!?”Just then, Lily turned around and sighted Kevin standing in the hallway, with a tear falling down her soft cheeks, Lily whispered.“Kevin, I’m sorry to say this but Monica and I need some privacy. Can you please give me some space?”Feeling distraughted by his wife’s pain, Kevin nodded“Of course, I’ll go back to the bedroom. It’s

Kevin helped lift Lily onto the back of his motorbike. Lily wrapped her arms around Kevin’s waist as he thought to himself,“I love this feeling. From this moment forward, I’m going to start steaming our relationship. I’m going to be the man who Lily wants me to be, the man that she deserves.”Stopping at the red light, Kevin turned around to find Lily biting her bottom lip.With a gentle sigh, Kevin asked“How are you feeling? You look great but I know you… you only bite your bottom lip when you’re stressed.”Lily nodded,”I am a little bit stressed… I checked the reports this morning and I confirmed my worst nightmare. The company isn’t going to get any extra investor’s support which means that by the end of the week, we’re going to officially declare bankruptcy. This morning, the major shareholders will be holding a meeting and as the company’s chairman, I have to be there. To be honest, I just feel so terrible about the poor employees that will be loosing their jobs… I mean, it’s

CHAPTER SEVENKevin picked his phone and dialed the number of the person who left him with nothing two years ago.The old man’s voice resonated with a deep timbre that carried the weight of years of wisdom and experience.“Kevin! I knew you would call…”Kevin responded impatiently,“Hello Grandpa, let’s not waste time with fake formalities. I’m calling to let you know that I can help solve the crisis of Williams family with my money but in exchange for that, I have two conditions. One, before six o’clock tonight, you will give me a DreamLover necklace. Second, at the down town family branch, there is a person named Blakely, I want him removed immediately.”Still sitting on his motorbike, Kevin hung up the phone with his grandpa and said to himself,“The tables have turned! Now I have all the power… this is going to be so much fun.”Just then, Kevin received a text message from his wife Lily. Kevin took a deep breath and read,“I’m sorry about our call earlier. I really wish things cou

Just as Kevin’s butt touched chair, Kate responded indifferently,“Sorry, I’m saving this seat for Jessica.”“Huh!? I thought Jessica was sitting over there”Kevin pointed to the beautiful woman sitting seven or eight seats away from them. His face was full of confusion.Kate frowned and looked very unhappy. She raised her hands and covered her nose and said in a muffled voice,“You sort of stink and I feel so uncomfortable. Can I please change seats?”Kevin was stunned. He raised his arms and sniffed his armpit area, it didn’t smell. He had just changed before coming to the re-union.“This woman must have problems with her nose.”Kevin thought to himself.“Kevin! You haven’t taken a shower for few days, have you?”One of the guys askedA female classmate sitting next to him quickly said,“Kevin c’mon now, I’ll change seats with you. Don’t make the beauty breathe in bad air so she will be able to eat.”Kevin didn’t want to talk but at that time his old friend, Zach walked over and pul
