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
Tommy was absolutely drenched in humiliation, but how could he refuse to do what had been asked of after David saved his life?He went on his knees, in front of Rosie, and he kept his eyes on the ground. "I'm sorry, I did wrong." He sighed. "He is right, I am a douchebag that doesn't deserve you."Rosie was mindlessly enjoying her drink, she wasn't listening to one word that he was saying. Tommy got up without a word, he gave David a final look of dismay before leaving the club. Everyone clapped for David in admiration for what he did, they were truly impressed. David sat next to her with a satisfied smile on his face. "I didn't ask for your help," Rosie said. "Why did you even do that?"David felt his heart sink into the deepest part of him. He didn't understand why she would say something like that to him, not after what he did for her. "Is that you trying to say thanks?" He turned to her. "That's not nice, boss, at all."Stefanie's eyes were fixated on them, it was like she w
David stood his ground, his feet were fearlessly firm in the ground. The three boys walked towards him and Eric was too terrified to do or say anything. They wiped their noses aggressively as they came closer to him. "Hey garbage boy!" The first one walked towards David. "What the hell did you say to us?"Eric was shaking his head with his eyes open, he didn't want David to get into trouble. David snorted as he went back to work, but that made the rude boys more angry. One of them collected the long stick David used to pick dirt and he snapped it into two. David finally looked up at them, his tongue angrily pushing against his teeth. "Why don't you say something now, tough guy?" They dared him. "Do you know who we are?""Assholes, that's who you lots are." David huffed. "What are you, kids? Why don't you treat people with some damn respect?"One of them grabbed David by his shoulder, but David shrugged him off. David was strong, they could see that. The others turned to one o
David almost laughed at the look of shock on Winston's face. Was this something that his father did intentionally?Winston looked from David to Rosie and back again. "Wait, what's this?" He asked. "Why are you bringing this man in? I was told that the representative would be here." "These are those who came, sir." The servant bowed before walking out. Winston scratched his head, he was trying his hardest to understand what was happening. "Oh, you double as the driver?" Winston laughed. "And you are the representative?"Winston stretched his hand towards Rosie, but she didn't take his handshake. "Mister David is the representative." Rosie directed him. Winston took his hand away sharply, he was so confused that one man was a cleaner, and now he was standing in front of him as a representative of one of the biggest newest companies in the city. "What kind of sick joke is it?" He yelled. "Bring out the cameras, I'm not laughing. How can this garbage boy be a representative? Do Mis
