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
Rosie returned to the office after her mission. It was normal for her, she had killed a lot of people before, what was a small family?She rested at her house but had to get to work early in the morning. She walked into the office, and the workers greeted her with great respect, since she was one of David's right-hand men, she got a special kind of respect. She didn't go straight into her office, she went to see Gary first, her other boss. His secretary smiled and greeted her, she smiled back as she knocked on the door. She walked in to see him already working on his desk. He looked up with a fond smile. "If it's not my little assassin." He joked. "Hi, Gary." She sat down. He pushed his cup of coffee to her, he hadn't even touched it. "How are you doing?" He asked. "I didn't have the chance to speak with you, how did it go?" She heaved, trying to recall what happened. All she could really bring back was the five quick shots she fired at the scared-to-shit family. "It went
"Hey!" Stefanie took out her gun.Normally, she would have aimed it at Stefanie, but she knew that it wasn't her doing, so she aimed it at Lucinda. Tears were streaming down Stefanie's eyes, her hand was shaking, but the gun was still pointed at him. "I'm sorry." She sobbed. "I don't want to do it, David, she said she is going to post everything about my past life." "Just do it." He told her with a still face. "Go on, do it!" "Don't say that!" She cried. "Please." "I have the flash right here with me, Stefanie," Lucinda called after her. "If you don't do what I want, I will ruin your life!" "You have the black card, it has more money than anyone has seen in your lineage." Rosie hissed. Lucinda looked at her and laughed. "If it isn't his lap dog speaking." Lucinda mocked her. "How do you feel? You are right behind him all the time and you think that he is not going to fuck you up really soon?" Rosie wasn't fazed, the gun was still pointed at Lucinda, one word from David and s
Stefanie couldn't understand why Lucinda was smiling even though she had just told her that David ruined her life. She kept down the plate of food, she was now very sure of the fact that it was definitely poisoned. Lucinda noticed this, but she just laughed it off. She picked up the remote control and changed the channel immediately, she had put on a comedy show and was laughing hysterically with the audience. Stefanie was watching her as if she had gone mad. "David took your home?" She swallowed. Lucinda stopped as she looked at her. "What, you think that I am lying or something?" She frowned. "No, that's what I mean, what I am trying to say is that he never said anything about this," Stefanie said. She was trying her best to show Lucinda that she wasn't trying to be offensive. Lucinda crossed her legs as she looked at Stefanie, her eyes piercing through her soul. "You think David Wyatt is a saint, don't you?" She asked. "What?" "You think he is a saint, I mean, that's ho
After watching the CCTV footage in the cafe, Rosie and Tommy left again. Tommy drove while Rosie sat beside him, deep in thought. "So what do you think happened here?" He asked. "And where did she go?" "We saw her break the black card after she made the withdrawal, she could be anywhere at this point." Rosie sighed. Tommy glanced at her, but he kept on driving. "If the black card is only given out by David Wyatt, maybe there should be ways to find out how much she withdrew, maybe it wouldn't give us an idea of what she wanted to use the money for." "Withdrawals made with the cards can be tracked, that's why they were specially made. For untraceable transactions." She said, Tommy faced the road as he kept going, it seemed like there was so much on her mind. "Hey." He said to her, "Don't worry we will find her." "I don't know, Tommy, I have a very bad feeling about this." She confessed. He saw how worried she was, so he took her hand and gently squeezed it gently. Firstly he
The cameras showed Stefanie leaving, but no one saw her walk out. She wasn't dragged out, she went out of the building without anyone forcing her. That fueled the possibility of her actually running away, which made David even more angry. He was so disturbed that Rosie took it upon herself to dig even more into the situation. She spent the night at the office alone, reviewing the CCTV videos. A coffee to keep her eyes open and her brain alert, she kept watching the videos again and again. She noticed that Stefanie came out holding her phone very close to her chest like she didn't want anyone to take it from her. "Strange…" Rosie got closer to the screen of the computer. Stefanie was looking around too like she wanted to make sure that no one was looking at her. She finally got out of the building and into a taxi, the taxi didn't have a plate number and the driver wasn't seen. "Son of a bitch…" she muttered. She heard a knock on her door and her ears stood up like those of a
It was like a joke, she was there for one second and she was gone for the next. It looked like a joke, everyone went from wanting to kill David to looking for Stefanie, it was like she disappeared into thin air. Nothing was coming forth, not even after they looked at all the cameras and found nothing, it was a worrisome situation. After she had been missing for twenty-four hours, the police were invited. It was a sight to see, everyone stopped when the chief of the police came to see David personally. He walked into the building with his guards and they marched to David's office. David was waiting, his hands behind his back and a very worried look on his face. "Mister Wyatt? I am the chief of police, Frederick Lawson, I will be handling your case." "Hello, thank you for being here. Please let's talk in my office." David led him in and the door was shut tight. It was just David, the Chief, and Rosie, no one else was there. The chief took off his large hat and placed it on h
Even David didn't realize that his mother was going to be there, given that he didn't invite her to the "party." He knew where to look, Rosie was looking as guilty as a pickpocket caught in the act. "You call my mum!" He looked at her. "Rosie, is this you having a death wish?!" His mother rolled her eyes as she placed a defensive hand on Rosie's shoulder. "Imagine what would have gone wrong if she didn't." His mother said. "Maybe you should be thankful to her." She looked around at all those pointing guns at her son, but her face froze immediately. "Antonio." She called. Antonio dropped his gun even further as he slapped his face. "Don't tell me that Alexa is his mum!" Now this was David's turn to be confused. The Grand Master was looking at them with a smile on her face. She didn't really come here to save anyone, she didn't care that much, she only thought it would be fun to watch. "Thanks for calling me, Rosie," Alexa said. She took a step forward, she examined the situ
Finally, almost at midnight, Lilian and Antonio arrived at the office. There were no extravagant billboards, no sign to show that it was David's place, everything was turned down. Lilian texted David very quickly to make sure that he knew they were there. Antonio got out of the car, he couldn't stop looking at the huge building. "Wow, this is so beautiful." He said. "Whose place is this?" "I didn't research that, but Dominic Ford's son will be here, there is supposed to be a dinner party." She said, "Oh, I see." He said. "We somehow were able to get seats." "Nothing better than having front seats to watch that fucker die." He muttered. Lilian smiled as they walked into the building. David planned this very well, there were people there to meet them and they were led up to the first floor, then the terrace. Antonio stopped when the beautiful scene met his eyes. The beautiful lights, the beautiful decorations, the nice, huge table, he was blown away by it immediately. "Wow,
Rosie's eyes almost popped out of her socket when David told her about the new development. "Wait, please, wait a minute." She held up her hand. "Are you trying to tell me that you, willingly, invited her Uncle– who wants to kill you? – to come to see you kill yourself?!" "Exactly, that's just about it." He nodded. She puffed out her mouth and held her hands behind her neck. "David, I mean this in the most respectful way, what the fuck?!" "It's high time I get this settled," David said. "I mean, how long am I going to keep playing this game with him?" "How do you intend to kill yourself?!" She asked. "That man may be retired, but he is still very dangerous.""We are all dangerous people, aren't we?" He asked. "Maybe, just maybe, I will be able to have a civil conversation with him, but if not, I will die." "You can't die!" She rebuked him with horror in his eyes. "You are the owner of a trillion-dollar business empire, you can't die!" David looked at the pen in his hand. Black
It looked like it took just a twinkle of an eye and David was on the plane with Stefanie. He couldn't leave her alone in the town, she looked sick and he didn't trust her uncle. As they sat in the plane, they were flying through the night. They were sitting a few seats from each other and no, it was not because they got into some kind of argument. It was because she was dozing off and David laid her on the chair to give her as much space as she needed. She never really slept off, her eyes were half shut, and she was looking at David through the half-shut lids. He looked worried, the way he looked out of the window, even though it was nothing but darkness out there. She felt her heart worry for him, whatever was in his head right now that was making him worry so much. She knew how much he cared for Gary, the man was like his father – but David wasn't going to be caught saying that. She shut her eyes again and said a small prayer to God. For David's sake, let Gary be okay. She
