David was boiling on the inside of him. "What did you just say to me?" David stepped closer to Steven. Steven rubbed his nose as he took one step back. "Listen, David, this is more money than you will ever see," Antonio told him. "It's better to take it now and do something with your life." David winced, what was wrong with this man? "Im married to Stefanie, she is my wife," David yelled. "Why would you even think of offering me money to leave her?"Antonio sighed like he pitied David. "Listen, my friend, just take the money, okay?" Steven cajoled him. "You won't last with her, I am sure of that.""You better shut your mouth before I put my feet in it," David growled at him. "Hey," Antonio called them to order. "We are not going to behave like uncivilized people." "David, the check is signed. Take it, start a new life." Steven encouraged. "You might be mad, but this is one opportunity that you won't want to miss, my friend." David was slowly watching him. Steven mistook this
David went back to the house very angry. The sun was gone, it was dark everywhere.He stopped the car in front of their fake apartment and got in. The door was not locked, he walked in to see Stefanie cooking in the kitchen, that infuriated him even more. She turned around to see him, she dropped the spoon and smiled at her. "You are back? I didn't expect you to be back so early, how did it go?" She asked. "Who asked you to cook?" He barked at her, making her wince. "What?" She was confused. David went on to turn off the cooker, not minding to even glancing at whatever was in the pot. "David! You are going to ruin my soup!" She shrieked as she tried to turn it back on, but he stopped her with a heavy hand. "I asked who told you to cook?!" He yelled at her. She stood there breathing heavily, her lower lips were quivering as she edged towards tears. "I was just trying to be a nice wife." She defended herself calmly. "Well, don't!" He took the soup and dumped it in the sink,
Rosie was working in her office, she still needed to check a few things before the day was exhausted, but she was already tired. She was deep in work when her telephone rang, she picked it up and placed it against her ear. "Miss Rosie, there is a man here to see you." Her assistant said. "Who is he?" "He won't say." Rosie frowned, who was this problematic individual that had come to see her today? She sighed and brushed her hand through her hair. "Let him in, whoever he is." She dropped the call and went back to working on her laptop. The door opened and her assistant walked in with this mysterious man. She was too busy to look at who it was, she only greeted. "Please have a seat." She gestured in front of her. She asked her assistant to go too and she rounded up what she was doing on her laptop. Suddenly a familiar scent hit her nose, causing her to stop as if she was suddenly struck with lightning. It was such a nostalgic scent that it unlocked a memory that she had lo
Just a few hours before midnight, David and Stefanie were having dinner at a small cafe close to their house. They were having some burgers and Sprite, nothing more. They were quietly eating, David was munching even harder than her, he hadn't had any food throughout the day. Stefanie was looking at him, a bit embarrassed that he was eating with such hunger. He noticed her stares, but he chose to ignore them instead. "Aren't you going to slow down?" She asked him. "I just spent the entire day hearing your uncle bitch about how wealthy he was and how my father was probably the custodian of poverty." He said. "So maybe it's best if I decide to enjoy this meal." She sucked in her lower lips as she continued to eat, she can't believe that her trillionaire husband was behaving like this. In a different booth, some men were looking at her in a flirtatious manner. She looked away, trying to put on her "no-nonsense" face, but they didn't stop whistling at her. David noticed how she l
David was not pleased that Lilian was the one Stefanie called to save them the trouble. "What did you expect me to do?" She asked him. "There was no one else to call, it was just my sister." Lilian walked out of the car and immediately she got out, Stefani went at her. Lilian wordlessly took out a credit card and handed it over to her sister. "Thank you." Stefanie took it. "I owe you." "Ew." Lilian screwed her face. "Don't say that to me like we are now cool or something." Stefanie rolled her eyes and left, she went in to pay what they owe. It was now just Lilian and David, they were looking straight into each other's eyes, but no one was willing to say anything. Finally, David exhaled. "Thanks," David said. "So you can't afford to pay for a meal?" She mocked him. "What kind of sick joke is this?" "Something happened, I surely didn't plan for this." He said. "Look, I may not like my twin very well, but the last thing I want is for her to get into some kind of embarrassment
David looked at all of them. There were about half a dozen of them, but again, they were men who each looked like they could tear a log of wood apart. David's hands were forming fists, and he had rage bubbling inside of him, but he was trying to be calculative, he was trying to dive into a fight with men with weapons. "Hey, can we do this another day?" David raised his eyebrow. "I have gotten my wallet, we all have work to do, why the hell are we not minding our businesses?" "Your smart mouth is not going to get you out of this one." Tim hissed. "Save your sweet tongue for when you are licking the boss' daughter's pussy!" Tim let out what sounded like a war cry as he charged at David. David's head was tilted to the side with a sigh on his lips. He wasn't going to fight these losers, but then they brought Stefanie into this whole matter. "You guys want to fight, fine." David dropped his tools. "Let's get this one with." "You are going to die!" But David didn't die when his od
David was supposed to go back to the city. He had been away for some days now and Rosie and Gary needed him to attend a few meetings in person. One of the meetings was supposed to be with this super-rich Arab prince. He was almost as rich as David, and he wanted to form a friendship and business partnership with David. So for that, David got ready in his small apartment, ready to travel down to the big city. Stefanie was leaning against the waiting for David to get ready. "I should drive you to the airport." She said, "No, Stefanie, you should be in bed." David refused. "Go and sleep, remember that you need to visit your Uncle tomorrow." She rolled her eyes, she wasn't very happy about seeing her uncle because she knew what his questions were going to be. "When are you going to be back?" She asked. "Why? You miss me already?" "I don't fancy staying in this house alone." "Is it any different from our house in the city?" He asked. "You stay there alone all the time." "The d
The tension in the atmosphere could be cut with a knife, it was very intense. David noticed this, but not a word left his mouth. He looked from one woman to the other, he was feeling like a matchmaker now. "Lilian, is this really you?" Willow asked. Lilian laughed nervously as she patted her hair. "Hey, Willow, it's a surprise to meet you." David took this to be a sign for him to leave, he had done his work here. "I am going to leave you guys to catch up, I have things to do." He walked to the door. He brushed past Lilian, but before he went through the door, she stopped him. "Thank you." She said in the lowest voice she could use. He gave her a very slight smile and shut the door behind him. Now it was just two of them and it seems like the tension doubled. It was obvious that neither of them knew what to do. Lilian decided to take the lead, she took one step forward and said. "I've missed you-" She hardly completed the sentence, Willow was hugging her and kissing her l
