Even Dre and Ethan were shocked by this. They thought that David was joking, but that wasn't a mischievous smile on his face. Nick licked his lips and laughed again, he didn't really understand what David was heading to. "David, I just got the company to start earning." Nick shifted on his chair. "It took my father's help to set the company to what it has become." "And I know that, that's why I'm offering to buy it from you." David stroked his jaw. Nick scratched his head, he couldn't just understand why David was being like this. "Can I discuss it with my father? He would be so disappointed in me." "He has always been disappointed in you, I am sure that this won't be something new to him." David shrugged. "Come on, how much are you worth?" Nick was not willing to sell his company at all, but he was very scared to tell David no. David was someone who could kill him right here and his millionaire father wouldn't be able to do anything. The fact that he was David's main bully y
Rosie hated that she had to stay in the house when David was there. It wasn't David that was giving her issues, it was that Stefanie couldn't stop begging her to help her escape. Stefanie was now beside her in the study. Rosie's head was lazily against the wall as Stefanie drowned her ears with babbles. "You have got to help me," Stefanie begged. "Even if I wanted –trust me, I don't,– David won't like that." She told Stefanie for the hundredth time. "Who said he has to know?" Stefanie stressed. "All I need is for you to get me out of here, I will find my way once I'm out." Rosie rested her angry eyes on Stefanie, she wished that she could shut her up with a tape over her mouth. "Why do you want to run away?" She asked. "Weren't you so in love with him that you risked everything to be with him in the past?""This wasn't the David I fell for!" She yelled. "This is one crazy, I don't want him to find out–"Rosie moved away from the wall, her eyes were now alert. "You don't want
Turned out that being a trillionaire was a very big deal in the world. Winterston was demolished and not even the government could say anything. David now even got casual calls from the president, who assured him that anything would be given to him if he wanted it. The gap between David and the other rich people in the world only grew, it was very hard to compete with the world's first trillionaire. His admirers and enemies grew at a rapid rate. David was in his office, preparing to host hundreds of world leaders that were trying to get him to work with their countries when Gary barged into his office without knocking.David looked up without moving his head, his jaw slowly grinding against each other. "You are an old man, but I am not sure why you want to die by my hand this afternoon." David hissed. "You will have to forgive me, master, but we have a problem bigger than my death." Gary slammed the day's newspaper on the table, in front of David. On the front page was Natalie
Rosie felt her heart drop, she also heard Gary sigh in disappointment. Why was David doing this? Was he trying to hurt Stefanie knowingly?Rosie didn't like Stefanie that well, but that didn't mean that she was going to support this. It was David who forcefully engaged Stefanie, why was he behaving like this? After the kiss, David and Natalie posed for the cameras again. Natalie was the most delighted person ever, she was all over David like a cat. "What are we going to do?" She calmly asked. "You know we have to do something.""Not if we want to live," Gary muttered. He pressed his signature walking stick into the ground and left her. David and Natalie walked into the building. Her eyes were on David the whole time, she was praying in her heart that he looked at her, but he never did. The instant that David walked into, everyone got on their feet and clapped for him. Rosie slipped in, watching from the corner. David waved, with his other hand placed against his chest in humi
Rosie was somehow convinced that David was joking, even though he wasn't a joker of late. She waited for him to say that it was all a joke, Natalie was an insufferable bitch, but he had humiliated her enough, but he never said so. He didn't even blink, he was as serious as a heart attack. "David, sir, please tell you that you are joking." She begged. "That's strange, I don't know why I would joke with something like that," David stated. She smiled nervously and pulled closer to him. "David, do you realize what you are asking me to do?" She whispered to him. "She will be naked, there are paparazzi around here." "That's the idea of the whole thing." David acknowledged. "Make sure that you get everything from her, nothing should be left on her skin." He turned away from her, that was her sign to get that it was a settled matter, it wasn't up for discussion. Gary wasn't around, there was no one else she could speak to about this. Also, it wasn't like Gary could change David's mi
It dropped like a bomb in the room. Everyone knew of the brotherhood. A group of feared individuals that do whatever they like, the government even pretends not to know that they exist. Rosie and Gary exchanged a tensed glance, they knew that this was trouble."My master has no intention of joining your brotherhood." Gary took one step forward. "With that being said, I think it's time you go." Dean Williams peered at Gary's face like he knew him but couldn't place the face. He smiled and turned back to David without saying a word. "Leave us, everyone," David ordered. Gary was surprised, but like always, he couldn't question David in front of people. The bodyguards that came with Dean Williams started to leave the room, and Gary was behind them. Rosie was going to, but David stopped her. "Remain where you are, Rosie." David pointed at her. She was surprised, but she stood at attention with a nod. "Yes, sir." Dean Williams looked at her from head to toe. He smiled hungrily.
David was visibly confused by seeing a girl that looked so much like Stefanie. He knew that her parents were dead, but she never brought up any of her other family members– he didn't even know that she had any. "Is this kind of a sick joke?" David looked around. "Oh, he doesn't recognize me." The girl laughed. "You two know each other?" Dean Williams asked. They didn't answer, they were looking deep into each other's eyes, not in a good way. There was something evil about this twin of Stefanie's, she didn't have the empathy of her sister, and she didn't have the innocence in her eyes. "So, we finally meet, David." She said, "Who are you?" He asked. "Lilian." She answered. "Stefanie's twin." David nodded like it was something that slipped his mind, but in reality, he was very confused. "Can we all sit down and get going with the meeting?" Dean suggested. "Exchange pleasantries later." Lilian's eyes didn't leave David as she sat down. She put back her hood, hiding her face
At this point, David couldn't hide the shock on his face. Stefanie had an Uncle named Antonio. And this uncle kind of hated him before even meeting him? Lilian could see the look of doom on his face and that made her laugh even more. "Yeah, that's what I thought." She taunted him. "You and Stefanie, it's never going to happen." David felt a lump in his throat, suffocating the hell out of him, but it was just those vile words from Lilian. David loved Stefanie and wanted to be with her. It was her kind nature that made him fall in love with her in the first place. "Stefanie and I are still going to get married," David told her fearlessly. "She won't get married without Antonio's blessing, she is too much of a scared chicken to do that." "So you are going to run off and tell your Uncle that David Wyatt wants to marry his niece?" "No, sweetheart, what's the fun in that?" She smiled. "I will leave that for him to figure out by himself, but when he finally does so, he is going to k
"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
