Mrs Doe was taken aback by Boris self-effacing. She couldn’t believe he would put away his ego and drop on his knees to defend himself despite being the heir to one of the most powerful families in the country.“What are you doing, Boris? Please get to your feet,” Mrs Doe said quickly grabbing both of his arms as he raised him to his feet. “There is no need to apologize or explain yourself— I did not believe a word of the accusations he said about you. I knew he was lying from the start— I know that you will not be with another lady but my daughter,” Mrs Doe said calmly.Boris guffawed inside but on the outside he remained indifferent. “This woman is very foolish, she doesn’t even doubt a word I say. Her foolishness is going to land Tina in my bed,” he jeered within.August on the other hand was seething with rage, seeing Mrs Doe easily convinced by Boris acting skills made his blood boiled vigorously. “Don’t fall for his act!” August protested. “Trust me, he is lying— his intentions

“Mom!” Tina called, signaling her mother to see what the persons at the other end of the street were holding in their hands. “I think we should go closer and have a good look”They quickly crossed the road to where the Protestants were standing. As they were close enough they could hear them screaming all sorts of things about the store.“If you can’t give us the jewelry we paid for, refund our money. You thieves!” One of the voice yelled in frustration.“You can call more thugs to beat us up but we won’t we stop till you pay us back our money, all of it!”“You can’t just shut us up after taking our money. We want our money back, you scam!” Another yelled.The more Tina and her mom drew closer, the more frustrating screams they heard and the more puzzled they got. None of the voices said anything positive about the store. “Excuse me Mrs, if I may ask, what’s with the uproar against Aurora Diamonds?” Tina asked intriguingly.“Aurora Diamonds, those scoundrels!” one of the woman curs

Boris led the way and the group followed from behind across the street to the store, confidence surging in all of them. Boris walked straight up to the two security guards standing at the store’s entrance.“Hey you!” He called gesturing at the guards. “I want to see who is in charge, right now!” he instructed with a frown.The security men gestured at him and the group behind him puzzled. “Who are you? And why do you bring this mob with you looking for who is in charge?” One of the security men asked.Without hesitation, Boris walked up to him and slapped him across the face. “How dare you talk back at me? Go in and bring whoever is in charge, right now! If you demand on knowing who I’m it may be the last thing your ears will have to hear,” he spat coldly, his eyes a mixture of intimidation and threats.Of course the security guard was scared to the core; any one bold enough to slap and threaten him in front of the store must be extremely powerful, even more than the store owner. In f

“What nonsense! Why would he mention you to me. You’re just insignificant,” Boris said quickly, his confidence fading.Don Maxino frowned the more, his eyes glowing with rage. “Why would he not mention me to you, after all he had done to me. That bastard for a father of yours,” he spat in fury.“Will you let go of my collar already, you’re not significant enough for my father to mention you. What makes you think he’ll remember a lowlife like you?” Boris said rudely, but his voice trembling.Don Maxino slapped Boris so hard across the face that he might need a dentist sooner or later. "Why would your father forget me when I'm the reason he's so rich now? Or is he too ashamed to mention me to you?"All of a sudden, Boris face was covered with cold sweat. He thought Don Maxino would be cowering in fear after discovering he was Harrington’s son but it turned out he was even getting into much trouble after all.“I can see that coward for a father of yours did not teach you any manners nor

“Oh look Mrs Doe, your son-in-law has already peed in his pants— he promise to help us get back our money but it seems he is the one that needs the help now. Poor fellow, he shouldn’t have messed with Don Maxino if he knew he wasn’t so Influential. Oh my, we shouldn’t have put our faith in him, I thought he was someone from a very influential family. It turned out he is just another average kid with some dirty guts,” one of the protestants said in a low tone, her voice tinged with disdain.“Oh my gosh, I can’t believe he was bluffing all this while, what kind of a man piss on himself after speaking with so much authority. Don Maxino will show him no mercy, he even had the balls to slap him on his face,” another chimed in.Mrs Doe was ashamed, she thought Boris would have the store owner return all the protestants money and they will sing her praises for having such a powerful family. But right at the moment her reputation was a stepping mat in front of the protestants.“You people mis
