She shook with sobs as she reached for him. David shut the door with his foot as he hugged his mother tightly. "Hey, ma." He whispered. "I've missed you so much." She sobbed. "I haven't seen my baby so much." "It's okay, ma, I'm here now." He rubbed her back. "I was supposed to come for your graduation, but one of my clients had a setback." She said, "I'm sorry, baby."He had his mother's face in his hands. He wiped her tears and smiled at her. She touched his face, just to make sure that it wasn't a dream and her son was really in front of her. "Look how big you've grown." She chuckled. "What kind of mother doesn't see her son for so long?""Mum, we've talked about this." He frowned. "We are not going to blame you for things that aren't yours to control." His mother was a private nurse, mostly for old people who didn't want to die alone in a nursing home. The pay was average, but she had to put in a lot of work and endurance. To balance everything, she still had to take multi
Stefanie wanted to stab herself to death, if that would make this coworker of hers go away. He has been babbling in her ears for long minutes now and wasn't stopping even though she wasn't giving him attention. She kept rolling her eyes repeatedly and sighing, but he was pretending not to see the signs. It was terrible because he wasn't the first one today and the day wasn't even over yet. "Your boyfriend isn't in town, I don't know what the problem is going to be." He shined his brightest teeth. "Lance, please."She held her head. "I've told you, many times, that David and I aren't dating." "Then why aren't you listening to me?" He asked. "Listen, my father has a wine company in Italy. My father is very rich and I can take care of all your needs."She turned and gave him an icy stare. "If you are so rich, why are you working in someone's company?" She laughed. "Because my mother thinks I need to work under someone to be able to manage my own company later." He answered. "That
David and his mother went on a date. Yeah, he decided to take her out since her misandrism wouldn't tolerate any man except her own son. They were both dressed sweetly and even looked like a couple, his mother was really hot for someone her age. Even as they sat in the restaurant and ate, many men glanced her way, but none worked up the courage to approach her. David saw all of this but didn't point it out to her because she wasn't going to like it. "How is your favorite patient, Mister Carlos?" He asked. "The old Mexican businessman?" She laughed. "He died six months ago.""What?" David's face fell immediately. "What?" She laughed. "Stop trying to feel sorry for him, that's what he always wanted, to die!""I thought he was worried that his kids would squander all his money?" David asked. "And that he didn't like any of his six kids?""Or that he suggested I got married to him so that I could take all his money when he died." She chuckled. "He was a pretty delusional one." "B
David was terrified for his mother's life, he didn't want her to get into this mix-up with his father. His mother started to laugh when she heard that Rosie was sent to kill her. David looked at his mother's hands and noticed how skillfully she was holding those guns. Maybe he wasn't supposed to be in front, trying to protect her. Maybe he should be behind her and let her handle this. She didn't look like it was her first time holding the gun, it looked like she had a lot of experience handling guns. "Move, David." His mother said to him, "Trust me, I don't want more bullet marks on your body." "Yeah, listen to your mother, David." Rosie chipped in. "I don't want to hurt you. Again.""Don't ever speak to my son, again," David's mother warned Rosie." Never, or else I will shoot you dead and dump your body where it will never be found.""Please, I'm begging you, let's handle this amicably," Rosie begged. "David will come with us and no one would have to get hurt." "You don't call
David had never been on a private jet before, but the whole situation that led to him being here had ruined everything for him. He sat in the expensive plane and watched from a distance as Rosie took care of her injury. He couldn't believe, couldn't bring himself to comprehend, that his mother shut Rosie. His mother wasn't a gun-twirling bandit, his mother was an old people nurse, who was already grumpy about money. Never would he have thought that she worked for Dominic Ford, that's how he even came into existence. Rosie's low grunt of pain interrupted his thoughts and he looked at her. She looked away from him immediately and with a pair of scissors, she dug out the bullet in her gut with cries of pain. She finally got it out, she looked at it like an object from space. She dropped it and dropped her head against the headrest. "Are you okay?" He couldn't help but ask her. "Your mother shut where it was to hurt the most and she didn't miss." She sighed. "She is such a badass.
David went back to work and was dismayed to find out that people were still on the issue of who the heir was. He is now very irritated whenever he hears people obsessing over the issue. He walked into his office and shut the door. He was angry, aggrieved by it all. His office was arranged, a hot cup of coffee was on his table and Rosie also left some files that he was supposed to attend to. That perfect welcome back that he was getting didn't change what he now thought about his father. His father forced him to leave his mother and now he felt bad for her. He was still going to bring this up, make sure that his father knew that what he did wasn't nice at all. David walked out of his office, he went to Rosie's office. She was there, talking to another worker about the work they were supposed to handle. She glanced at him but kept on working. The worker, Leonard, kept looking at David. Rosie rounded up and Leonard left. He stared right into David's eyes before he walked out. "G
Rosie told David and Stefanie that they were to follow her to meet a potential client. She didn't give any of them any more information before she ordered them into the car and the driver drove off. David was perplexed, she also told him about all their deals, but she never mentioned this one. He waited for a text from her, explaining everything as they went, but it never came. Stefanie touched his knees and quietly asked if he knew what was going on, but he shook his head in the negative. Rosie was working on her phone in the front seat, she didn't even notice the interaction that was going on with them. When David couldn't hold it anymore, he decided to speak up. "Where are we heading to, boss?" David asked. "I don't mean to be rude, but you just ordered us into a car without a single explanation.""It's exactly what I told you guys. He is a huge client and he is in a club downtown. This is our chance to convince him to work with us." She looked at them through the mirror. "
David cocked his head, not wanting to believe what she just said to him. "What?" He grunted. She looked away from him like she didn't care if he believed her or not. She held the knob of the door of one of the nearest restrooms, but he stopped her from walking in. "Rosie, you can't just leave like that." He said to her, "At least tell me what's wrong with you.""Nothing!" She snapped at him with a loud voice. " I saw my ex-boyfriend and I panicked, okay?!"She couldn't be lying, she just affirmed what she said to him minutes ago. That was really Tommy. The ex that her father mentioned, the one that she didn't want anything to do with him. It was strange, yes it was, the way they stared at each other before she ran off. It wasn't a guess, something was definitely not right with them. It wasn't like Rosie to cry in front of anyone, but she was tearing up already and it was breaking David's heart. "Hey," He calmly placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's alright, it's fine.""It's no
"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
