Carrying four cement bags that totaled a backbreaking 440 pounds, Denver looked like it was no big deal.With steady steps, he climbed the ladder to the second floor of the building in the construction.Today’s grind was simple but grueling—hauling all the cement and sandbags upstairs. His reward? A measly 30 bucks.It wasn’t much, but he had no choice. He was working for the future of his family.Denver carefully placed the bags in a dry corner, wiping a bit of sweat from his brow. Just as he straightened up, a distinct click-clack caught his ear—the rhythm of high heels on concrete.A woman in a sleek purple dress with three-quarter sleeves, her dark hair flowing like silk, and a face as radiant as the morning sun.She looked and swayed like a model, and was so out of place in this dirty site!Every other worker dropped their jaws as they saw her.What was a woman like her—dressed to kill in a stunning outfit—doing at a dusty construction site?From the distance, her wide, sparklin

“I’m a nutjob, huh. Yeah, I was not able to see through you, so you can call me that,”Denver sadly smiled, picking the ring off the floor. It was a heart-shaped ring. Denver also had another such ring on his ring finger now.The pre-engagement rings were worth around 500 dollars, which was not at all a small amount of money for Denver.More than the monetary value, the emotional value these pre-engagements rings had in Denver’s mind was great. They were supposed to be treasured for life, yet how could Diane toss the ring away like it’s nothing?Did she really never love him? Not even like him?“Hmph, go and find a monkey to put that ring on,” Diane snorted and looked away.Denver did not speak afterward.As he was walking away, she went out of her way to say, “Oh, I forgot. You have nothing in your name. Even a beggar wouldn’t want to marry you now.”Denver did not talk back to them but just clenched his hands.He just walked toward the main door, leaving behind a trail of blood d

“See him out with a stun baton!” Subrina’s voice was loud to irritate every ear out there.The manager regained his haughty demeanor and cast a sharp glance toward Subrina. That gaze alone warned her not to cause a scene anymore. “Do you want to be seen out with the stun baton?”Subrina stepped back twice in bewilderment.She could only grind her teeth and watch the manager take Denver to the VIP lounge on the first floor.“This way, ma’am,” the assistant manager, on the other hand, respectfully invited Subrina to his office. She kept cursing Denver as she went to the assistant’s room.The assistant manager gave a soft drink to Subrina which she liked. She didn’t thank him because she believed that she deserved it. And the drink helped her body cool down a little.The assistant manager tried to personally process the check, but when he checked the balance of the associated account, his expression stiffened for a second. Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at Subrina who was enjoyin

“You know very well who I am don’t you?”Stephen’s words made the manager frown. Seeing the manager conflicted, Stephen hiddenly smirked. In truth, he was no longer as rich as he used to be. His father lost a lot of money lately, but he was still a well-known and feared-figure locally.The manager knew Stephen’s father, which was also why he didn’t think Stephen’s father was capable of having a diamond card, but then again, the card might have been temporarily given to Stephen’s father by the real owner.The manager briefly glanced at Denver who had already entered the correct password. He wished he was able to see the account details, but because of the confidentiality, he was not capable of doing so. It would take too long to get permission from the headquarters, but the problem before him needed to be resolved as fast as possible because all the staff in the bank had stopped working due to this incident. The other customers were also looking and probably even recording the incident

Sheryl stopped her car in front of the house and said, “I need to call someone, so you take care of your business here. I’ll be waiting outside. We’ll go to a doctor to get your head wound checked after that.”“Okay,” Denver stepped out of the car with effort because he was a big man. He didn’t think he’d enter this house again so soon. But because he knew that Diane was not in the house, he believed that this was the right time for him to take the items he wanted.One of the neighbors who was walking their dog, an adult brown rottweiler, in the middle of the day tried to chat with him, seeing that he stepped out of a luxury car, but Denver said he was busy right now. The dog, however, came to him and began to rub its body. He gave it a couple of pats. “I don’t have any food right now, Payne. Next time.” He told the dog and then quickly entered the house and was about to go upstairs in a hurry.“Denver, who broke the table lamp?” a voice reached his ears.He stopped and looked to his
