" Tell me, David!" Dre begged. " Are we now rich because you fucked our boss?!"David only smirked as he opened the door of the apartment they shared.Ethan was leaning against the wall, he was tired from the day's activities." Leave David alone, will you?" Ethan sighed. " He didn't sleep with her!"" Did you see the way she looked at him?!" Dre asked. " She was begging him to take her to bed!"" Maybe it's because I was very confident about getting you guys out." David laughed. " Isn't confidence the key to everything?"He unlocked the door and they walked into the house.Ethan walked straight to the fridge to get a cold bottle of water.Dre was brooding as he walked in." That means that we aren't rich?" He asked. " You didn't have the money to compensate for the car, you punk!"" Shut up, Dre," Ethan growled. " If David becomes rich today, it's HIS money, not ours."" Go to bed already, Dre." David Pat his back. " You still have to work tomorrow."" Well, I guess." Dre shrugged as he walked towards his bedroom and shut the door.David is handed water by Ethan and he takes it. Ethan is staring at him intensively, so he had to ask." Why are you looking at me like that?""You didn't sleep with her, did you?" Ethan scratched his head." No, of course not." David shook his head.Ethan exhaled." What was I thinking? She is nothing like that bitch Natalie. You like bitchy girls, and also, she is way out of your league."" Not possible." David agreed." I know it was stupid, I was just thinking if it was true, about you being rich too." He said. " Do you know how much better our life would have gotten?"David only smiled and came close to him." Well, it's bound to happen someday, who knows." He wondered.Ethan smirked as he took his water and walked to his room." I have to go to bed now." He smiled. " Thank you for saving us from the notorious Mister Theo."****David, Ethan, and Dre were walking into the hall that was to serve as the venue for their class party.The place was called Venus, and it was the best happening place in the city.Ethan and Dre didn't want to go, but David convinced them to.Dre wouldn't stop adjusting his tie as they walked towards the door." This jacket and pants are way too big for me." He complained." Yeah, that's because yours is trash and David had to lend his to you." Ethan snapped at him. " Consider this an upgrade."David only laughed at them bantering themselves.They walked into the hall one after the other.The party had started already, but they were late. That made everyone look at them as they walked in.Dre and Ethan almost ran out in embarrassment, but David's confidence was what made them remain in the hall.Suddenly, Nick, the richest kid in their class, walked up to them." Well, well, well." Nick arrogantly blurted. " Look who it is."Everyone stopped and was staring at them too." Who even invited you to the party?" Nick raised his nose in disgust. " We don't want people who can't afford to pay for the food they ate."The whole crowd started to murmur, but David wasn't shaken by that." I got an invite like everyone else." David maintained." Aren't you supposed to be in prison?" Nick grunted. " After all, you and Natalie broke up yesterday after you couldn't pay for the date you set and the police took you away."David was angry, he knew that Natalie was the one who came to spread the terrible rumor to everyone." That's not true." David frowned. " Else, will I be here instead of in police custody?"Suddenly, Natalie came in her expensive gown and shoes.She kissed Nick's lips and glared at David, thinking that he was going to be unable to take his eyes off her, but he wasn't even looking at her."My dear, can you confirm that David was in the prison yesterday?" Nick asked her." Of course!" Her voice was high-pitched and annoying. " He probably ran away, that's why he is here now."David was trying his best to control his anger, he couldn't believe that Natalie was a gold digger and a shameless one.Natalie and Nick were staring into each other's eyes, and then they kissed in front of everyone.They were doing all of this to make David upset, but he wasn't giving them any reaction." Don't look at him, my dear." Nick held her face in his hands. " You are a kind of beauty that only the rich like me deserves, he doesn't deserve you."" Of course." Natalie agreed. " I am an expensive commodity and not just anyone should be able to have me."" Okay, you know that you can say the word and we could jump him." Dre pulled closer and whispered to David." Yeah, I bet I could break a few of his bones before the guards come to rescue him," Ethan added.They weren't joking, they were always ready to dive head-first into trouble, if it meant saving David.David only smiled at them." Relax, boys, I have got this." He assured them.They all were right in the center of the attraction, and David knew that they were being watched by everyone. Whatever happens here tonight would spread like wildfire.David smiled inwardly because he knew that this was his chance to completely disgrace the arrogant boy called Nick.When he would be done with him, no one would forget about this day.Nick and Natalie were leaving because they thought that they had disgraced David to the fullest, but they didn't know that he had other plans in his heart for them." Hey, Nick!" He halted him. " Do you think that you are a rich guy?"A handful of people gasped in shock and Nick turned around in anger." Excuse me?!"6The whole room fell silent immediately. Did David just really throw that insulting question at Nick?Nick was a rich kid and his parents gave him everything that he had always wanted, but nothing made him madder than people not acknowledging how rich he was. Everyone held their breath as Nick stumped and came to stand directly in front of David. They are both huge boys, but David is a few feet above his height. " What did you say to me, fool?" Nick growled. " Are you as rich as you think?" David's corner lips curved with a smile. " Are you fucking kidding me?" Nick huffed. He turned away from David and looked at everyone. " So this guy just asked if I was as rich as I portrayed myself!" He said. " But I will show him now. Free meals for everyone at this party!"The freebies-hungry crowd cheered with claps. " For everyone except Wyatt and his nerdy friends!" Nick added. " They will have to pay for themselves!" "Oh, damn it!" Dre complained from behind David. " I came here fo
"Okay, I appreciate the fact that you are trying to get to that bitch, Nick, but this is a little too much," Ethan said to David. It had now dawned on everyone, just how real this had gotten. The waiters were bringing in the bottles of the drink and even the music stopped. They were placing them on a middle table, in front of everyone. The guests were all talking to themselves, some were even taking pictures because they had never seen something like this. Nick was looking with a mixture of anger and shock, the waiters were just bringing more and more bottles. " What is he doing?!" Natalie wondered." I thought you said he couldn't afford to pay for your meal yesterday?" Nick angrily turned to her. " Why is he purchasing so much wine now?!"Natalie couldn't believe it too, but then she smiled at Nick and came closer to him. " Maybe he is just trying to act rich." She told him. " What?" " Maybe he doesn't even have the money and would probably return them afterward." She said,
David was mad about what had happened. " Why did you ask them to return my drinks?!" He asked. " How did you come up with the bright idea that I wasn't going to be able to pay for them?" The manager sighed as he pushed his glasses back. " Come on, man, you are going to make me say it again?" He lamented. " You are dressed in the cheapest suits that I have seen. How would you be able to pay for those bottles?" David sharply looked at his clothes, he wasn't pleased with what he heard. Yeah, his clothes were old, but they were neat and presentable. Dre walked up to the manager and almost slapped him if not for Ethan pulling him away. " You are so lucky that I am being held back!" Dre screamed. " I would have smacked some manners into you! How dare you speak to my friend like that?!" David put a hand on Dre's shoulder to calm him, but he was also boiling on the inside. " Let's enjoy the party, guys," David concluded. " I don't think any of this was even worth it." " Oh no, there
Rosie looked flawless in her black dress which showed her beautiful back. She had a full-back tattoo that made her look like someone straight out of a fantasy movie. Everyone was looking at her, but she was looking at David. His jaw was on the ground and he was too shocked to even answer the question she asked him. She understood completely and laughed. She gave him a small hug and then held his hand. Her warm finger seemed to give him back his consciousness and he found himself smiling like a schoolboy at the sight of his first crush. " What are you doing here?" She calmly asked him. " I would have made special reservations for you." Everyone was shocked at this small conversation, they couldn't believe that David would have anything to do with a girl like this. Rosie turned to Dre and Ethan and winked at them playfully. " Hey, boys." " Hey, Miss Rosie!" They answered with pink cheeks. Her eyes settled on David again and she slightly raised her eyebrows, he hadn't answered
10David, Ethan, and Dre were outside the bathroom door. They were waiting for Rosie because she asked them to. From here, they could hear the loud sound of the music from the hall, where the party was taking place. They were all leaning against the wall, but Dre's eyes were fixed on David. " What do I have to do to get your fucking eyes off me?" David complained. " See, I knew he fucked her." Dre nudged Ethan. " But why would he even lie about it?"Ethan now believes that was a brewing relationship between David and their female boss. He didn't jump to defend David like he used to do, he was more occupied with thinking about everything that happened at the party. The door opened and Rosie came out. Her hands were just washed and a white handkerchief was in her hand. She walked straight to David and started to wipe out the small stain of wine on his face. It had left a pink mark there, but no one even noticed, except her. She gently dabbed till the stain started to go away. D
The next day, just before Dawn, the loud ringing of David's phone woke him up.He got up from the bed and grabbed his phone. He looked at it, it was a strange number.Nevertheless, he picked it up and placed it against his ear. " Do you know, Austin Street?""Huh?" His eyes became fully open and he assumed a sitting position. "Huh, you don't know Austin Street, or huh, you don't know who is speaking?" The voice asked. David looked at the phone as he rubbed his eyes, this was a very strange call in the night. " Who the hell am I speaking to?" David asked. He was a bit grumpy because he had just woken up. " This is Gary." The voice answered. " I hope Master will forgive me for calling so early in the morning."What was left of sleep in his eyes went away immediately. He remembered Gary as the man who saved him from the embarrassment at the restaurant. " Mister Gary, hi." David stood up. He briskly walked to his door and opened it by a crack. He wanted to make sure that Dre and E
David was horrified by the treatment that he got from the secretary. She was a very beautiful woman, but she lacked a lot of manners. He wasn't asking her to fall at his feet and lick the dirt off his shoes, all he wanted was a little more respect for his human person. She didn't even look at him as she pressed the buttons on the telephone, trying to get to Gary. "Hey, excuse me," He held up his hand, a bit annoyed. " If I can't sit on your expensive leather chairs, where am I supposed to sit?"She covered the mouthpiece of the phone with her hand before she gave him a dramatic look. " You stand." She shrugged. " You don't look like it would be new to you."Now, even the workers were looking at him, David had never felt this more embarrassed in his life.He brushed his hand against his nose and leaned by the wall. Since he found out about how influential he was, he had never thought of using it with someone, but he was going to speak to Gary about this receptionist. " Oh my God
The receptionist was as white as a ghost she started at David, then Gary. " Sir, did you just call him master?" She asked. " Yes, this is David. He is very important to Mister Dominic, I take him as a boss for me too.""Oh, my God." She clutched her chest as if she was about to get a heart attack. " What is the matter?" Gary asked. " It's probably because she humiliated me in front of all the workers in the reception." David laughed. " I didn't know who he was." She begged. " Please, sir."Before their eyes, she fell to the ground and held her hands up in supplication. " Interesting." Gary rubbed his jaw. " I wonder what Mister Dominic would have to say about this.""Oh, please, sir." She begged in fear. " He will have my head if he finds out. Spare my life."" You don't deserve to be spared. You disrespected this young man and it would have been the same as disrespecting the boss." She started to heave as all her fear fell heavily on her. " Mister Gary, spare my life." She b
"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
