The CEO announced that he didn't want to see anyone for today, so Don couldn't see the CEO today but he will surely come the next day just like Mark.
The receptionist couldn't hold her laughter as she was mocking Don as he was leaving and she was also busy admiring Mark who didn't show any interest in her whatsoever.
Mark and his uncle went into their car and were waiting to tease Don before he entered into his Car and left. “Hey …man I can see your car is all banged up, why don't you hop with us in our vehicle.” Mark said, laughing all the way into his car.
Don walked to his car and stood by the side thinking of what his next move is going to be and how is going to keep his marriage going with Roselyn, she is his key to his uncompleted mission and success.
He went into his car and got a few missed calls from his secretary so he decided to call her back. “I have some information about your parent report,”she said quietly.
“Tell me.” Don said looking at the huge company.
The Herbal Rise company was in partnership with your father, they offered him a fake business proposal which made him lose his position in his job.
Hearing this bad news made Don so furious and he decided to go home and claim himself down. While he was resting on his couch and thinking of what to do next to his current problem, he heard a knock coming from his door.
There was nobody at the door but he saw a balloon and a letter lying on the floor, he knew it was from Roselyn. “I am really sorry for what had happened before and what Is happening now, I promise it will be okay soon. I hope you forgive me while you enjoy the box of chocolates.” That's what the letter said.
He decided that he needed to clear his head with some shots so he went to his bar that is owned by his friend. Don was at the bar side trying to drink his pain away.
“One more shot……, Don said, tapping his glass continuously.”
“But sir…you have already taken nine shots already, I think you need to slow things down.”
Don sat down with his face down without knowing what to do. He came across Mark at the counter with two ladies, one of his lap and the other sitting beside him.
Don walked up to Mark, Mark was shocked seeing Don coming before he could utter a word. Don approached him with a slap across his face which left him bleeding.
“How dare you, come to the club with ladies and you want to marry Roselyn, just wait for the family you hear about your disgusting act.”He yelled.
“Try all you what ... .but no one will believe you, I am like a god to the family.” Don left his collar and left the place without saying a word.
Mark vowed not to allow Don to win the competition and promised to make his life a living hell.
Don went to the company the next morning and saw the annoying receptionist and Mark and his uncle waiting for the CEO reply. He decided not to say a word to Mark Because he is still annoyed with his action yesterday.
He sat on the couch and he took his phone and called the CEO, “I am sorry Mr Don I will be out in just a minute please exercise patience please.”CEO said.
The receptionist looked at Don with disdain and couldn't hold her laughter. “You look bigger than a businessman. I hope my boss won't be disappointed when he sees you here.
Mark couldn't hold his laughter so he decided to join in the insult which had been raining on Don. “Yeah I'd listen to the receptionist if I were you. He said. The receptionist became more attracted to Don after hearing all that he said about her.
Someone of your stature and status doesn't belong in a place like this, Mark chuckled arrogantly.
“If I would start going through my business proposal if I were you.” Don said with a smile despite being insulted so many times.
The receptionist sneered at Don , “why don't you run along before I have the security remove you from this place?
Then Don sneered back at her and replied, “why don't you find yourself a boyfriend and stop chasing someone who doesn't notice you for a second?”
She didn't have a reply for that. I decided to stay quiet and calm to watch what will happen when the CEO arrives.
Don ... .this is a place for important people with Money looks like you have none. Mark said, laughing at him.
Just then, the CEO came out rushing out, looking flustered, everyone remained quiet to hear what he wanted to say.
My apologies ….Mr Don, I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. He quickly Ushered Don towards his office. It looked like the CEO didn't notice the presence of Mark and his Uncle.
The receptionist's mocking expression turned to one of shock and expression and embarrassment. Mark and his uncle's jaws dropped, stunned that the powerful CEO was treating a beggar with such reverence.
I hope the environment was comfortable for you sir, the CEO said to Don.
As Don walked past them, he couldn't resist a condescending strike at the dumb founded Mark. “I will be sure to send your resume to the mailroom guy. They might have an open position. Well for you Mrs receptionist…
Your days at this office are numbered. He said.
Don followed the CEO into his office leaving a humiliated Mark and receptionist gasping behind him.
Mark started racking his brain on what to do as he couldn't stand what just happened in his presence. While the receptionist started looking down at Mark and his uncle as he started seeing them as nothing in Don's presence
“Well ... .Well…Well, looks like I am the one that will be getting married to Roselyn pretty soon.”Mark said with a congerous tone in his tongue.‘I am the only one going through with this competition because this man is a coward, he has no balls to pull all this off.’ Don approached Mark, he faked a punch instead he fixed the collar of Mark like a then whispered to his ears.‘Look at the person that wants to compete with me….he can't even take over his father's company and he wants to crack a multimillionaire deal.’ Don said indirectly mocking Mark.Grandma Nona intentionally made this competition to make Don feel bad and quit it so Mark can win and get married to Roselyn and live a rich and comfortable life.She went on saying The Herbal Rise company works for Four Major Families and they have to take their time convincing them to have a contract with their company and crack the deal.She smirked then went on asking if the men were ready for their quests and the first to bring bac
chapter 8- Don sat across from the COO of Herbal Rise, his expression calm and composed. The room was tastefully furnished, but Don barely noticed the details. His focus was entirely on the task at hand. The man before him had power, but not nearly as much as Don intended to wield by the end of this meeting."Mr. Donovan," the COO began, adjusting his glasses and glancing at the notes in front of him. "You mentioned you have a vision for a new herbal product line. I'm intrigued, but also curious—what exactly do you have in mind?"Don leaned forward slightly, his voice steady and measured. "Herbal Rise has always been about quality, but the market is shifting. People want more than just products—they want a brand they can trust, something that feels personal. I propose we develop a new line that focuses on premium, ethically sourced ingredients. Products that aren't just effective, but that tell a story."The COO raised an eyebrow, clearly interested but cautious. "And you believe this
CHAPTER 9 - Don drove home with a sense of triumph coursing through his veins. The deal with Herbal Rise had gone through, solidifying his position and ensuring that his plan to bring down those responsible for his family’s demise was well on its way. He could barely contain his excitement as he thought about how Roselyn would react to the news. She had been his rock through everything, and now he was ready to share this victory with her.As he pulled into the driveway, Don could see the warm lights of their home glowing through the windows. He entered the house and found Roselyn waiting for him in the living room, her expression a mix of hope and nervous anticipation.“You’re back!” she exclaimed, standing up quickly. “How did it go?”Don’s face broke into a wide smile. “It’s done,” he said, his voice filled with pride. “I closed the deal with Herbal Rise.”Roselyn’s eyes lit up with joy, and she rushed to him, throwing her arms around his neck. “I knew you could do it!” she said, he
CHAPTER 10- Don sat on the edge of the bed, staring out of the window as the first rays of morning light crept into the room. The events of the past days had left him restless, his mind spinning with the weight of the secrets he had been carrying. Roselyn stirred beside him, her presence a comfort, yet he knew that he could no longer keep the truth from her. She deserved to know the full extent of what had driven him to secure the deal with Herbal Rise.Roselyn opened her eyes and immediately noticed the tension in Don’s posture. She sat up, placing a gentle hand on his back. “Don, what’s wrong? You’ve been so quiet since last night. I can tell something’s bothering you.”Don turned to her, his expression somber. He took her hand in his, holding it tightly as if drawing strength from her touch. “Roselyn, there’s something I need to tell you,” he began, his voice low and serious. “Something I should have told you a long time ago.”Roselyn’s heart skipped a beat. She could see the gravi
“When I return Don, I will make sure your life is miserable and you will be begging for alms on the streets of brooklyn.” Mark threatened Don as he had been embarrassed and tortured.He believed he had been wronged when Don got married to Roselyn, and he promises to get back at him for his dispute actions and promises to get married to Roselyn.Mrs Phoenix (Roselyn’s mom )wasn't happy with the decision of her daughter to get married to a financially disabled man . She promises to help Mark to destroy their marriage and make him her renowned son-in-law. Phoenix partially disowned Roselyn for making a bad decision and promises to give her a second chance only if she goes back to Mark.“You have to go back to Mark ….to secure a bright future.” Phoenix said while trying to manipulate Roselyn once again.“Well I've decided on my own future mom, and my future is not with Mark.” Roselyn shades back at her mom.Phoenix was so devastated after listening to her own daughter turn against her so
Rise and shine sleepy head….Don was unveiling the curtains to awake the sleeping beauty.Rosslyn adjusted her body to the other side avoiding the shades of the light coming from the window and also avoiding the thick voice of her annoying husband.See babe…Don said holding the legs of Rose but she kicked him immediately and covered her face in the pillow besides her trying not to listen to any explanation that came out of Don’s mouth.But Don didn't give up, he went closer to her eyes then whispered, “babe it is not my fault, I had other reasons for behaving that way towards you.”Rosslyn hissed … “So what warranted you to behave that way towards me last night.” Roselyn said, still avoiding Don.“I am more worried about losing you and less worried about your nightmares about me. After listening to this Rosellyn decided that she needed to listen closely to whatever Don had to day. Why are you more worried about me? Roselyn asked.Can't you see what is going on Don said angry and bit
13“Who are you again?”. Austin asked approaching Mark with a gun in his hands, he slowly moved closer to Mark with a suspicious look in his eyes. Mark could feel the heavy breath of Austin which made him uncomfortable.without getting the permission of Austin, Caleb went towards Mark and held his shirt and pinned him to the walls. He did this because he was expecting Mark to introduce himself but Mark was just playing around.“My brother is so calm and generous, he might spare your life but I won't stop at nothing to waste you now.” Caleb commented furiously with range going through his mind.“Why don't we have a drink and talk this through”. Shall we?? Mark said, laughing at his spectators.Austin could not take the irritating attitude of Mark anymore, he decided to approach with a death blow which made Mark start bleeding uncontrollably but with all the punishment brought upon him, Mark didn't give up.You are wasting my time, who are you?

Don said in a low tone avoiding waking everyone in the house. Mr Jeff was around the corner listening to Don conservation so he decided to approach him.What are you doing outside here in the middle of the night Don? Jeff asked while Don was about to give an answer to Jeff’s question, Mrs phoenix( Rose’s mom) interrupted. “Don't waste your breath on a foolish being on this boy, he doesn't deserve your optimum loyalty.” Phoenix said raining insults on Don.“You helped my daughter then decided not to let her live in peace, I cursed the day you set foot into my home.” Jeff had to stop his wife from saying any other hurtful things to Don and decided to let him continue whatever he was doing.Phoneix left for her room and called Mark on the phone asking him about the plan phase and what their next action was going to
