Chapter 6
“This is the worship of the Wrist!" " This can't be, back then it was only produced on limited edition of 70 pieces and sold for 25 million dollars” “Miss Dabby you are so fortunate a lady and most beautifully special to whoever bought those?. Rhina herself remained stunned, she has always been obsessed with the worship of the wrist and always wished for a set of it, just a sight of it was enough for her to know if it's the real deal. How could this be possible, unless Ethan had sold and used all his savings to get her a set of these? The thought of this melted her heart. If she wore the worship of wrists to Lady Dabby’s birthday party, she definitely would be the talk of the night. ********************* Armanti’s times. This is a very luxurious hotel. Those who bought seats here were people of very high caliber, who exudes wealth. They packed their luxurious cars at the entrance and packing lot of the hotel. It was there that Danvers had to attend his class reunion. Danvers rode in with his old bike that has been with him for years. He had initially wanted to buy a car but decided to do it the next day instead because of his tight schedule. Besides he still loved his bike it has been with him at his lowest, he couldn't bare to discard it just like that. He was humming when he packed his bike, the excitement to meet his classmates was evident on him. Immediately he packed his bike, he heard a heart wrecking whistling from behind as he turned and a young man was screaming. “Can you move? You are only riding that old stuff called a bike and you want to occupy an entire spot for yourself? A Toyota A6 brand new latest version stopped and the rider called out to Danvers to give way. Danvers moved backwards to check who was talking and realized it was Maxwell, his competitor back in school; they both locked eyes. Maxwell? Danvers said and ran over to meet him. This was none other than Maxwell woods Danvers' highest competitor in school. He joyously called out to him hoping that everything was in the past now and they could strike up a conversation but Maxwell had made up his mind not to acknowledge or regard him. He walked past him like he heard nothing. They both walked into the reserved VIP section of Armanti's Times area one after the other. The other classmates had already arrived and sat trying to catch up. “Maxwell is a very handsome and well to do young man” they all cared and gathered around him. The room turned lively upon his arrival. Maxwell looked classic, smart and expensive. Most importantly he was holding the keys of the latest Toyota brand carelessly in his hand. Meanwhile Danvers was dressed in the suit he took from his uncle. It did not quite fit him because he had lost weight over the years and he was holding the keys of an electric bike with broken slippers on his feets. No one bothered to acknowledge his presence. It was such an awkward moment for him but he didn't let that get into him. He stood from afar and scanned the entire room. He realized everyone had grown big and changed. The girls were also beautiful but not compared to those in her class. One of his classmates walked up to him and said. “You don't look bad yourself Danvers, come over here and associate these two seats here that were reserved for you and Maxwell come on over". The prettiest of them all was Wendy Vino, a young elegant teacher back in their days. He had no idea their teachers were joining them too. She had the nature of dressing in jeans. She was tall, beautiful and had a firm figure. Her beauty was unrivaled. A few years without seeing her seems like she had become more mature and exuded a touch of beauty. She wore skinny tight jeans and a white short sleeve shirt which further enchanted onlookers. Maxwell had also noticed her beauty and couldn't help but ask. “Miss Wendy you look so beautiful these days. What are you up to today?” Before Wendy could open her mouth a lady seated by her had already replied “Maxwell you should know by now that Wendy is going to be a model and consequently a celebrity, she already resigned from school and is about to sign up a contract with Champions beauty parlor soon” “Wow that's mind blowing” The crowd cheered.who in Bredon city have not heard of Champions beauty parlor, all the top models and celebrities were under them. To be fair in her beauty, she was very beautiful compared to the grade A celebrities she was not any less of them all. At the mention of Champion's beauty parlor, Danvers' face bimed with a smile and so he moved over to where she was seated hoping to have a chat with her. Immediately he sat down close to her, Wendy’s face turned pale. Giving him a contempt look. He couldn't bare it anymore so she spoke up “Danvers, can you not sit close to me?" "Sorry about that” he stood up in a haist and asked "is someone sitting here?” " No, I just don't want you sitting next to me, that's all, '' she retorted. "See the way you look, you are attending your highschool reunion and this is the best you could come up with? An oversized suit with broken slippers? Or let me guess, could it be that you borrowed the suit and forgot the shoes?” Danvers looked down on himself rather helpless “I should have bought a pair of shoes,” he said to himself. “Hahaha I also noticed his big toe stuck out of the slippers but I initially never wanted to talk about it because I thought we were classmates but it's like somebody is feeling over confident and should be put in his place.” Maxwell quickly walked up to Danvers in a provocative manner calling the attention of everyone. “Hey loser" he raised his hand and placed it on Danvers' shoulder and said...“Our dear classmate just rode in here with an electric bike, initially I thought it was due to the inconveniences to get a packing space that caused him to use a bike but after wearing a high earned suit, he unexpectedly forgot about his shoes. What an embarrassment.”“Is it that you bought this suit on discount somewhere? Because looking at it, it is evident that you haven't even removed the label, probably you have to return it after the school reunion?"" I think it's not that bad,” someone said. But Maxwell cut in immediately. “Also, it's clear that he hasn't changed that pair of slippers for years" " Exactly my thoughts”The whole class started gossiping about him until one of them, a friend he helped back then in school, decided to speak up.“And so what? Even if he is dressed in a weird manner, do we have to make a joke of him? Aren't we all classmate" Maxwell move towards him and brought out the tag and said “Mira, do you still want to help him? He is wearing a suit worth
Danvers arranged himself on his seat and remained indifferent. This made Margaret more angry to see that an ungrateful brat like him didn't reply to what she just said. “How rude can you be?. From the entrance cars were packed in the lot of the Dabby clan's villa. And they were all luxurious cars for sure. By the time they got there, the hall was filled up with members and guests. Some of them walked up to Rhina to greet them. In such moments, Danvers was always treated like an outcast and was usually allocated to the same table with the maids far at the tail end of the hall. They made sure to keep him Invisible but that didn't matter to him he was out to fill his stomach cus he didn't know what awaited him at home. Especially with the behavior he had put up earlier on their way to the villa. Margaret was surely going to revisit the case later. Nonetheless some people derive pleasure causing trouble such as Stephen Dabby. He seems to have a thing against Danvers from the very begin
Ever since Lord Dabby died, the authority of the Dabby family was in the hands of Lady Dabby as her word was law. No one ever tried to go contrary to it. She seemed to have been very fond of Stephen and favored him alot. Moreover his net worth was over 35 million dollars both in assets and savings. Any offense towards him will definitely end in shackles. “Mum, what exactly did you just do?" Asked Rhina as she walked to stand in between her mother and Danvers. Even though she hated him, it was due to his intervention that she was able to regain her pride moments ago. The slap Margaret gave him generated an instant red spot in his face. Nevertheless he still had a smile on. They have been married for four years now and this was the first time that Rhina ever tried to speak up for him. This alone warmed his heart. He turned and left. “You dare not walk out on me you good for nothing piece of trash” he yelled and followed Danvers to his seat. As the entire family and invitees watched
Chapter 10“What's funny you ingrete?” “Let's see what you have here right everyone?”“Yes let's see" Danvers handed a wooden box over to lady Dabby just the sight of it made her discard it without looking at the content of it. He was pushed out of the hall by the security. But before then lady Dabby spoke about it. “Before you go, I must say this tea is original '' she knew pretty well the tea was fake but couldn't let Danvers triumph over her grandson and not in public at that. The Youngest daughter of the Youngs entered almost immediately and found the wooden box at the entrance upon seeing it, she immediately recognized its content. The Youngs have been into the antique business for centuries; she needed no one to tell her that the piece of necklace in there was pure gold. She quickly picked it up and asked why it was discarded. She was told to forget about it. She ignored their ignorance and educated lady Dabby on the kind of gift she had just received was worth millions of
Danvers had told his uncle he wouldn't want to reveal his identity just yet. Rather, he preferred to operate from the background. So his secretary pearl was meant to report everything to him over the phone. Champions company was a bustling business area where luxurious cars were packed outside and quiet a number of it belonged to celebrities who had to report to their roots every day. That was the companies rule. In case of an emergency, permission needs to be requested. “I think I should get a car for myself” thought Danvers as he tried to pack his bike by the road. Then came a roer of an engine followed by a bang.He turned to see that the car behind him was nearly touched while the back of his electric bike was completely scattered. “You bastard! my long aged bro.” He felt like crying but couldn't find his tears. Some people from the shop and media personnel who stood around started crowding around them. “Do you know how to drive? A soft, delicate voice accompanied a lady as s
Danvers woke up early the following morning, and before Rhina was ready to head over for the negotiation, Danvers had returned from the bank with the exact amount Rhina needed to help her company. Coincidentally, Rhina's friend passed by. Rhina felt uneasy, not knowing what her fate was going to be in a few hours' time. Coming from the kitchen with a glass of water. “Rhina, where is that pathetic excuse of a man?” She asked while sitting gently on the sofa. Knowing who she was referring to “I woke up and never saw him around, I guess he went to get something."" You are so patient my friend” she place the glass of water on the table " I couldn't have been this patient with such a man, your company is looking for an investor, if you had a capable husband he would have assisted in his small way even without giving all of the money, but looking at the situation, he can't even afford a pair of shoes for himself”As she was talking, Danvers walked in, holding a black nylon. He was covere
Later that day, Stephen was seated by the table and burst out laughing after looking at his phone. He laughed hard to the extent that tears fell from his eyes. Mathew and other members from the Dabby clan were present. Confused as they were, they decided to ask“What's the matter Stephen, what's so funny to have made you laugh this hard." " We want to share in your laughter, spill it out already”“Rhina didn't develop cold feets did she?" Another one said. " Guys wait a little my stomach hurts from this, Rhina truly is a big fool”“What the heck are you talking about? Can you spill it out already?" They began asking anxiously while Stephen laughed more. “Could you believe that young lady asked Danvers to send her off at Champion's real estate company on his electric bike?! That woman has really got some guts." Stephen said as he tried wipe his tears A roaring laughter broke up in the office as none of them could hold it back after hearing what Stephen just said. “Champions real
Rhina and Miss Young exchanged a glance. That pair of necklace was something they were fond of and had always wished to own a pair for themselves. There was no way they couldn't identify it was the real thing. “Before giving you the gift, I made mention of the fact that I only bought a replica of it, which cost me 5 million dollars!" Ethan continued. "But that useless son-in-law you call a husband throws them away. As we speak, it still lies on my table in my house if you don't mind, I can bring it to you”Hearing those words, Rhina's jaws instantly dropped, filled with confusion. If Ethan didn't give her that pair of necklace she was wearing, then who did?”then who would have given her a gift worth over 25 million? She recalled the day Danvers had a fight with Ethan at her office. He had said he could buy her whatever she needed. At this point, Rhina could not help but look at him with a confused mind. She instantly ended the call. Danvers dipped his hand into the plait of food a
