As usual, she wanted to be the belle of the ball so gram Fallon had ordered a dress from another state and even bought the most expensive necklaces and earrings to compliment her luxurious look. When she noticed the large amount of turn up of guests, she was pleased because she knew she looked the best, and the hall she rented was one of the best in Roseville. She was also glad she hired the press and reporters to record everything live, because that way the people who weren't present would still see her outfit and they would witness her new partnership with the DnD real estates. Taking one leisure step after the other, the old woman made her way to the stage, stopping right in the centre where the spotlight would shine down on her. "Firstly, I would like to say a big thank you to all our friends and business partners who took time out of their schedules – which I believed was a busy one – and came down here to celebrate with us." She said, a pompous smile on her face. If it wasn't

Ignoring the curious and shocked expressions he got from the guests, Dominic walked over to Aliya's table and whispered to her. "I want you to go up the stage and inform everyone that the Fallon Cartel has been prohibited from working on the project with us because I'm revoking the contract I gave them. And that they're also banned from working with the DnD on future projects."She nodded and stood up immediately to carry out his order. There was absolutely no way he was letting his family in law hurt his wife like that and get away with it. That director position belonged to his wfe, and he was going to make sure it was given to her. He went outside and found her crying and it made him feel had. He hated seeing her sad or hurt. He sat next to her and did his best to cheer her up, and at first it seemed like it wasn't going to work, but after a while he was able to draw out a smile from her lips. Almost five minutes after he joined her, he noticed the doors to the banquet hall ope

"Watch my back? What the hell is that supposed to mean dork?! Are you threatening me?"When Dominic said that, his wife turned to look at him and the expression on his face was none like she had ever seen before. He had this confidence, this boldness on his face. Almost like he was the one who made David go bankrupt, and he could do the same thing to George if he wanted to. Of course that was impossible, single handedly making another person and their entire family completely go bankrupt was a feat that was only possible for someone with great power and a deep connection with the government. Even her family combined still wouldn't be able to do half of what happened to David and his family. "I have no reason to threaten you George, I'm just saying. You never know what might happen." He said it so nonchalantly that it almost didn't sound like a threat. "What is your problem, you poor loser? How does David's misfortune concern me? Am I the one who took all his money? Why should anyth

"What?""Are you deaf! Or is there something wrong with your brain? I said to join the protesters in my place. Do you expect an important person like myself to join a bunch of old men and women screaming like zombies? It's much too embarrassing."Of all the things his mother -in -law had asked him to do, this was hands down, the most ridiculous thing ever. "Why exactly are they protesting anyway?" If he was going to embarrass himself, then he might at least know the reason. "Who are you to question me? I am your mother -in -law you nitwit! You have no right to question my order. You just do whatever I tell you to do, whenever I tell you to do it. Understood?!"This woman was something else, how could she call him without offering any form of explanation, and expect him to just start screaming his lungs out, and still she refused to explain what was going on!"You're not going to do it?" She crossed her arm over her chest, frowning at him like he was supposed to feel intimidated by he

Since the night Richard saw her at the banquet, he had not been able to get Ciara out of his mind. He still found it hard to believe that a woman so beautiful could still be a virgin as well. He had been thinking of different ways he could approached her, but none of it seemed right. Then there was still the issue of her annoying husband. Why did he have to exist in the first place?George had tried to tell him that he wasn't important in their family but he was still there, and he was still married to her. He remembered how he stood protectively in front of Ciara when he tried to shake hands with her. And even Ciara seemed to have feelings for him as well because she barely paid him any attention while he was trying to talk to her. If only there was a way he could see her again. Maybe an opportunity that would give him the chance to visit their home or workplace. Almost like she had been listening to his thoughts, Richard's cell phone stated to ring and upon checking the caller ID
