15 Minutes
August was stunned by Mia’s demands,as were Tina and her father.He breathed a silent ‘thank you God’ that their marriage was a sham, otherwise, he would’ve been trapped in a union with the devil locked behind a pretty face.Her demands were extreme andhumiliating. She was not just asking them to give up the partnership for her but also strip them of their last shred of dignity.If the conditions only involved her giving up the partnership Tina might had easily considered it. But the fact that her own dad would kiss the shoes of the one person she would forever hate made her frown.“To hell with you and your conditions Mia!As far as my dad and I are concerned, nobody is in with yourevil demands,” Tina objected sternly.“To hell with me?” Mia laughed bitterly. “Mr Doe, I don’t think your daughter understand the implications of what she is saying.

Damian And His Men
The office door swung open from the outside and August emerged. He did return after the call.“Look who’s returned. You must have a lot of nerves coming back here,” Mia said with a frown.“Foolish you! You should have used the opportunity to run away. Anyways, now that you are here; you’ll watch them lick clean my shoes before I’ll have you beaten up,” Tom said with curled smile on his lips.August glanced at his wrist, “Five minutes had pass, you have ten minutes left!” He said confidently.Tom’s eyes reddened, he was extremely furious. How could a nobody like August dare threaten the heir of the Turners? He just signed his death wish!“You are a dead man!” Tom growled angrily before he removed his phone and dialed a contact. “Damien, bring a handful of men to Resonant Audios in eight minutes,” Tom instructed the man on the other end of the call before hanging up.Mr Doe’s and Tina’s jaws dropped, their heart raced quickly at the mention of the name.They were quite aware of who Dami

Beat Them Up!
At the sight of Mr Kane, the thugs quickly withdrew their fists. Though Damien and his men were feared across the city, they would not dare inflict violence in the presence of Mr Kane, the emissary of the country's most powerful family.“M-Mr Kane, y-you’re here?” MrDoe stammered in disbelief. “Please, have a seat,” he said nervously pointing to the visitor’s chair.Mr Kane ran his eyes across the faces in the room and chuckled slyly when he caught sight of August. Without saying a word, he took his seat.“Before I go on with what brought me here, may I ask what these hoodlums are doing in your office?” Mr Kane asked glaring at Damien and his men.Mr Doe hesitated, he was absolutely certain that if he told Mr Kane it was Tom and Mia who brought the hoodlums into his office, they would retaliate later after he might have left. So, he had no choice but to lie.Before he could think of a suitable lie to tell Mr Kane, Mia used the opportunity to change the subject and make a good impressi

After Mr Kane and his men departed, Tina and her father were elated. Mr Kane had not only driven off Tom and Mia with their ruthless demands, but he had also put an end to Damien's extortion for protection money from them once and for all.Out of excitement, Tina jumped on August, her arms wrapped around his neck. Startled, August reacted awkwardly; it was the first time a woman had ever hugged him. After a few seconds of mustering his courage, he finally embraced her, wrapping his hands around her tiny waist.August wished the hug could last forever, savoring the warmth and closeness he'd never experienced before. But all too soon, she pulled away, leaving him yearning for more."What can I say, August? Thank you for everything. None of this would have been possible without you," Mia exclaimed gladly.“Me? Why am I receiving praises for what I didn’t do?” August retorted.“Come on August, we both knowthis is all thanks to you. First, you broughta technician to fix my laptop. Then you

If the Turners, the most feared family in Aurora Bay, were turned down when they tried to buy the restaurant, then who wouldn’t be?"Congratulations to me, then. I'll do what the Turners couldn't: acquire ownership of the restaurant."August’s tone low but full of confidence.The manager was annoyed. “Will you shut up already and stop this bluffing. You are not just delusional, you are nut!Maybe loosing your wife to Tom has driven you insane. Men as wretched as you don’t deserve any lady at all; you were married to Mia for more than two years but all you did was eat off her.Thank the almighty Tom liberated her from a parasitic leech like you.You are the opposite of rich and—” before he could round up all his insults to August his phone chimed.August glanced at his wrist and chuckled as the manager reached for the phone in his pocket.

He was still upset that Tina had left dinner early yesterday, ruining his plans to ask her out, all thanks to Nebula Interactive. He felt such hatred towards the company that he considered buying all its shares and shutting it down—whatever the company was worth, it’s just a chump change to him.“Maybe I should check up on her, at least know whether she arrived home safely,” August gave himself a reason tobend in to the urge to speak to her.Before he could scroll down to her contact, his phone buzzed. It was a call from Tina. What a coincidence!"Maybe she's thinking about me too," he thought, his delusions speaking. He wasted no time and quickly answered the call."Help me!
