"Get out of here this instant!"Dominic only smiled at the old woman's comment. "Am I not right? You were all here the day we made the bet, but none of you had any objections, that was because you thought– no– you were all expecting Ciara to fail. The idea of me going down on my knees and calling George my master sounded so wonderful to you guys, and you were all eager to actually see it happen. So eager that you forgot about the possibility that Ciara could actually turn up victorious. So now that she has, the bet is suddenly a bad thing." He paused for a while before adding. "It's completely fine by me though. Actually I think I prefer this; George Fallon, the grandson of lady Rosa Fallon is too much of a coward to carry out his end of a bet. He has no problem with giving up– a perfect example being you giving up on getting the contract wi0@thout even trying– and is not afraid to chicken out if the situation gets uncomfortable for him… even if it makes him a castrated coward."G

"You wanted to see me mother?""Yes Ciara, what is the meaning of what you did back at the conference room?""I don't know what you're talking about mother.""How could you humiliate your brother like that in front of everyone? And in the presence of that idiot as well!""Mother, Dominic is not an idiot, don't say that. And to answer your question, they made a bet. I mean, you were all there that day, so you clearly saw it all happen. Besides, why are you making such a big deal out of it? It was only a harmless joke.""A harmless joke you say? Your brother –older brother by the way – went down on both his knees and apologized to that- that imbecile! And you call it a joke. Are you being serious right now?""Mother calm down, if you want me to, I'll go and apologize to George.""Forget it! I just don't want such nonsense to repeat itself ever again!"Ciara was trying to keep herself from asking but her anger wasn't going anywhere so she decided to just ask anyway. "Mother, when George

After his lunch date with his wife, Dominic didn't go back to work. He was only going to have one chance to prepare the best surprise for their anniversary, and he wanted to do it right. Back when he was still lacking in the monetary aspect, there was very little he could do. But now things were different, he had all the riches he could ever need or want, and he was prepared to spend it all to please his wife. First thing he needed was a gift, something that would wow her. A gift so impressive that it would blow her mind. He knew how much Ciara liked to accessorize so he decided that jewelry would be perfect for her. He headed to Ace diamonds, the best jewelry store in all of Roseville. Contrary to the name, they had more than just diamonds. There were gold, silver, ruby, jade, emerald and basically any other gems you could think of. He walked in the extravagantly decorated store, hoping to find the perfect gift for his perfect woman. He checked out a bunch of necklace and other

'Was the gift enough to make their anniversary a memorable one?' he thought to himself. He needed that day to be perfect for Ciara, and so that meant that he had to make it better. When he and his wife got married, they never had the chance to have a real wedding. It had always been Ciara's late grandfather's wish to see his great grandchild, and he wished Ciara would be able to give him that. When he asked Ciara to marry Dominic, she tried to get him to tell her the reason behind his unbending decision, but the only response she could ever get out of him was that he was a good person, and he wanted Ciara to end up with a good person. After having their marriage registered, the old man chose a date for the actual wedding, but just a week before then, he fell really sick. The family did their best to restore his health, from taking him to different hospitals, to flying him out of the country for special treatments. But unfortunately, despite all the amount they spent, the old man

"Push me any further and I just might actually call the police on you." Ariella threatened. By then, the defeated guards had retreated inside the building, probably to tend to their wounds. So Ariella was left alone with Dominic. "I thought you already called them. Was that a lie? Do you really think you can threaten me with the authorities? Don't be an idiot."Ariella was stunned with the way Dominic spoke to her. He was supposed to cower in fear, and he shouldn't even be able look her in the eyes, after all, she was much higher than he was in society. But instead, he was talking calmly and boldly. Even the mention of the police was not enough to make him quiver. "Me, an idiot? Hah! At least I'm not a leech feeding off of my wife's family!""Wife? I did not know you were a lesbian now.""What, no! That was not what I meant. Whatever, just get lost loser. As long as I still work here, you are never setting foot in the hotel.""Are you sure about that Ariella? This world is full of
