CHAPTER 1
knock knockDominic nervously knocked on Mr. Gregory's office door. His heart raced with anxiety as he did, not knowing what to really expect. He had been thinking about this moment for weeks but never had enough courage to do it. He stared at his shaky hand and held it down, his heart pacng irregularly as he struggled to settle down his breathing."Come in," came the rapsy irritated voice of Mr. Gregory, Dominic's boss. Dominic took a deep breath as he entered the office. He walked further in and met with a pair of brown eyes. He averted his gaze from them and kept his eyes to the ground about five meters from where he stood. "G-... good morning, sir. May I have a word with you?"Mr. Gregory looked up from his papers, a hint of annoyance in his eyes. "What do you want, Dominic? Make it quick."Dominic swallowed hard, cold sweat slowly appeared on his forehead as he managed to say his next words. "Well.... sir, I-... I need to ask for a pay raise." he blurted out with as much courage

CHAPTER 2
"Young master, I've finally found you," the strange man said and gave a slight bow to show respect. "Young what?" Dominic asked, completely confused about who this man was. A few other men also came out of the car, and not one of them seemed familiar to Dominic at all. Who were these people? Had they mistaken him for someone else?"Young master, please let me help you up." The strange man offered and extended his hand, but Dominic didn't take it. These people seem like they must work for a multi billionare, and he didn't want to mess with the rich. Instead, he asked, "What's going on? Who are you people?"The man smiled softly. "My name is Richard Dawson, the butler for the Donovan family. And you, young man, are the son of our late patriarch, Mr. Donovan." Dominic was even more confused now. The butler of the Donovan family? And what father do they speak of?Dominic couldn't help it and burst out into little fits of laughter. "It seems that i must have a concussion from when i hit my

CHAPTER 3
Donovan felt dizzy upon hearing such an amount. He felt like this had to be some sort of dream, and if it was, then he hell damn never wanted to wake up from it. As they walked up to the enormous estate, Dominic couldn't believe his eyes.The villa was like a palace, with tall pillars at the entrance and a grand staircase leading up to massive doors. There were a lot of maids and servants moving about and doing their jobs. They would all stop and greet both him and Richard as they passed by them. "Is this really mine?" Dominic asked in disbelief.Richard nodded, "Yes, Young Master Dominic, this is all yours now. Your dad's legacy."They walked through the house, and Dominic saw luxurious rooms filled with expensive furniture and artwork. Richard showed him the garage next, which housed a collection of sleek sports cars and luxury vehicles. Dominic's eyes widened as he took in the sight of the powerful machines."These cars... they're all mine?" Dominic stammered, still trying to proce

CHAPTER 4
"Oh, thank God you're here." Domnic exclaimed as he approached Richard. "Yes, Young Master." Richard faked a smile as he looked back to the irritating nurse. He had walked in on them having an argument, and he heard how she had referred to his Young Master as a lowlife wretched scumbag. He was infuriated by how she disrespected his Young Master. And even more angered by the fact that Domnic wasn't reacting to it. Does it mean she had always been this way with him? Has his Young Master always been getting bullied like this?No. He wouldn't let this go at all. He would just have to teach her a lesson. With that in mind, Richard left the money to his young master while he went in to see the doctor. As though luck fate would have it, the hospital itself was being sponsored by the Donovan family, and they dared disrespect the young master of the family. His young master could have their hospital shut down with just one word. He turned by a corridor and headed to the doctors office but the

CHAPTER 5
Dominic's heart raced as he saw his mother's fingers move. This was the first movement she's made in 2 weeks. She was finally waking up. "Young Master Dominic, I think she's awake," Richard said, his voice filled with cautious hope.Dominic leaned closer to his mother. "Mom? Can you hear me?" he whispered, his voice trembling as he tried to tap on her as lightly as possible.But before there could be any more signs of life, her hand went still again. She fell asleep again. Dominic's hope crashed down. He turned to Richard, his eyes pleading. "Get the doctor. Now."Richard nodded and hurried out of the room. Dominic stayed by his mother’s side, holding her hand tightly. "Please wake up, Mom... please." But there was no response now. "Mom, I've just found out about everything. About my father and your relationship with him. Can you believe he transferred all his wealth to me?" Dominic continued, hoping she would make even if the tiniest bit of movement to show him that she was listenin

CHAPTER 6
"Prepare for what exactly Young Master Dominic?" Richard asked. "I get to choose what family gets to join the Empire Of Commerce, right?" Dominic asked for clarification. "And you also get to choose who leaves Young Master." Richard replied. "Interesting...... Do we have a list of the ones aiming to join?" He asked again. "Yes, we do." With that, Richard brought out unlocked his tab, which he seemed to always carry around. He tapped on the screen a few times before handing the tab over to Dominic. Dominic skimmed through the names. There were really a lot of families looking to join, and why wouldn't they?.After leaving the office, Dominic made his way to Sophia's home. He didn't go in his flashy car but hailed a taxi instead. After about 20 minutes, the taxi parked at the gate, and Dominic walked up to the front door of Sophia’s family home. He was excited to see her after everything that had happened, but I wanted to know first if she was okay after everything with Mr Gregory j

CHAPTER 7
Dominic sat on the couch, rubbing his temples as Sophia glared at him. Her arms were crossed tightly across her chest, and her mouth was set in a thin line.“So, do you have any idea what you’ve just done?” Sophia’s voice was a cold, hard whisper, like she was barely keeping her anger under control.Dominic looked up, trying to offer her a soft smile. “Morning to you, too.”“Don’t ‘morning’ me, Dominic.” She narrowed her eyes, shaking her head. “You think you’re funny? Because you’re not. You’ve managed to embarrass me. Again.”He sighed, leaning back against the couch. “Look, I was just trying to help. I didn’t think it would be a big deal.”Sophia laughed bitterly, the sound echoing through the room. “Not a big deal? You told my grandmother that you’d get us membership at the Empire of Commerce. The Empire of Commerce, Dominic!”There was a brief silence. “What were you thinking, Dominic?” she snapped. “Boasting like that in front of my grandmother? Now she thinks you’re delusional

CHAPTER 8
Sophia placed the last plate of scrambled eggs on the table, sighing as she wiped her hands on her apron. Breakfast with Grandma White and the rest of the family was always tense, especially after the whole Dominic fiasco.“Where’s the tea, Sophia? I’m not getting any younger here,” Grandma White barked, tapping her spoon against her cup.“Yes, Grandma, it’s coming,” Sophia replied, trying to keep her tone neutral. Just as she turned to grab the kettle, her phone buzzed loudly on the counter. She glanced at the screen and saw an unknown number.Frowning, she picked up the call. “Hello?”“Good morning! Am I speaking to Miss Sophia White?” a cheerful voice asked on the other end.“Yes, this is she,” Sophia replied cautiously.“I’m calling from the Empire of Commerce to inform you that your family’s application for membership has been approved! Congratulations! You now have access to all premium benefits,” the voice chirped.Sophia froze, the words echoing in her head. “Wait, what?” she

CHAPTER 9
Dominic leaned against the wall, arms crossed, watching Grandma White with a calm expression. “You don’t have to like me, Grandma, but I’m the reason you’re now members of the Empire of Commerce.”Gregory let out a loud laugh, clapping his hands mockingly. “You? Dominic, are you drunk? Or are you just delusional?”“I’m neither,” Dominic replied coolly. “I’m just stating facts.”Gregory shook his head, smirking as he turned to the others. “This guy… I fired him just last week! Jobless and still full of shit. What do you think he’s doing now, flipping burgers?”The room erupted into snickers. Grandma White narrowed her eyes at Dominic. “So, you’re not only jobless, but you’ve also turned into a liar. Perfect. I knew you were no good.”“I’m not lying,” Dominic said, his voice steady. “You can confirm it yourselves.”Grandma White snorted. “Oh, please. Why don’t you save yourself the embarrassment and shut up your dirty lying mouth!”“You’ve got some nerve,” Gregory snapped, stepping clos

CHAPTER 10
The silence in the room was heavy, every glance darting between Dominic and Grandma White like the next word would set the place ablaze. “Honestly,” muttered Aunt Clara, “does anyone else find this whole thing ridiculous? Dominic, of all people, claiming he did something so big? Come on.”She crossed her arms, shaking her head.“Let’s be honest,” she continued, glancing at Dominic with disdain. “There’s no way he got us into the Empire of Commerce. Maybe our family’s reputation finally worked in our favor, and this fool just happened to overhear it on the street.”Dominic raised an eyebrow but didn’t respond. He wasn’t about to engage in her pettiness.Clara turned to the rest of the family, her tone growing smug. “I mean, let’s be real. Maybe the Empire just saw how deserving we are. And Dominic, being… Dominic, overheard it somewhere and decided to take the credit.”“Exactly!” one of the uncles chimed in. “He’s just lucky. Probably thought, ‘Hey, here’s my chance to act like I’m wo
