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
David was sure that this wasn't true. Was Antonio actually asking him to kill someone? Was this real? David waited for Antonio to burst out into laughter and clap his hands saying it was all a joke, but it didn't happen. "Are you really asking me to kill someone?" David asked in surprise. "Why? You don't love Stefanie enough to kill someone for her?" "No! I'm saying that killing is wrong!" David stressed. "I have never killed someone in my life!" Antonio stood in front of him, hands folded, eyes focused. "Son, listen to me very carefully," he rubbed his chin. "There is always a time when boys need to become men, and this is it for you." David was in disbelief, his lips were left hanging. "Do you know how protected that man is?" David huffed. "You are practically asking me to die!" "Your former boss works for him, I am sure that if you try hard enough, you will get him." He said. David's hands were akimbo, his foot was angrily hitting the ground. He was at a crossroads now,
"But your Uncle knows him?" David asked. "Why can't you get that information from him?" She pushed her head back. "Do you mean to help you? No, not when I am looking for the opportunity to kill you." She hissed. "But even if I wanted to, I don't know who the man is.""Why don't you ask your Uncle?" "The secret of the Grand master's identity is kept a secret from everyone." She said, "He is not going to tell me, not even to save his own life."David inhaled deeply, he believed her. The Grand Master was his only choice now, but how was he supposed to know who this person was? "But Lord William knows this person, right?" David asked. "He definitely does." She nodded. "But, he would rather die than to tell you." "Don't worry, I will take care of it." David waved off. She calmly looked at him, she had no idea what his plan was. ****Lord William was having a day in his office when the door opened and David walked in. Lord William stood up immediately, completely shocked by who t
It was very fulfilling to David, that he was able to squeeze out at least the address of the Grand Master. He knew that they were going to be waiting for him, but at this point, he didn't care. He was ready to risk everything just to know that he had a chance with Stefanie, he deserved a chance with her. It was late at night, no single headlight was approaching from any side. That was because it was so late at night, and also because the area was a "no-entry" zone. Stefanie explained to him that some rich people practically hired an army to keep their privacy, he hadn't had the need to come to this area before. He drove past huge houses, but according to the address he was given, he still had a few more minutes to go. He kept on driving until he came to the end of the houses, he kept going. He entered another area surrounded by trees, and that was when he saw the surveillance cameras turning around. They looked innocent, but he knew that some group of people were keeping wat
