Ex-convict to Executive

In the Xanros family mansion the family were exchanging pleasantries as they hugged and shook hands with each other. There stood Dante Willow looking down at his second handed old wrist watch that he have owned since he could remember, he was standing all alone like a lone wolf. He exhaled deeply while he impatiently tapped his foot on the expensive marble floor of his in-laws house, he only had few minutes to spare before his break time from work would be over, he worked as a Janitor in an art gallery and the staffs were preparing for an upcoming art exhibition. Dante was the son in-law of the wealthy business tycoon Uriel Xanros married to his second daughter Audrey. Mr Uriel Xanros called the attention of everyone as he hit the glassware with a spoon to make a toast, suddenly the living room went dead quite as everyone turned to look at him, the main reason they were all gathered to celebrate in the first place. “Today is my marriage anniversary with my beautiful wife” Mr Uriel

Tension filled the room as Mr Uriel continued coughing while he slowly crouch down to the ground holding his chest.They all rushed towards him as the old man was now kneeling, with his face facing the floor while he coughed uncontrollably and struggled to breath normally at the same time.“Get water” Jaden shouted to the butler as he patted Mr Uriel back slowly in a bid to stop the cough “Give him space, space! He needs air!” He shouted as the family members spread out, far from Mr Uriel and Jaden, Jaden was a medical doctor so they thought he should know better.The butler returned with a glass of water and Jaden was about giving the water to Mr Uriel when he was suddenly interrupted by Dante’s voice“Don’t give him water, it would worsen the cough” “What do you know?” Mrs Xanros panicked “Jaden is a medical doctor!” she shouted at Dante“Water is not what should be-““Shut up, a cleaner now tells a medical doctor what to do?” Natty cut Dante off before he could get the chance to

“I saw the way Joe insulted and slapped you” Jean address their boss with his name “He thinks he can command us anyhow because we work for him, You know Charles’s offer would change our lives”“No” Dante replied “I rather sweat to make my money than push drugs” Dante replied with gritted teeth “I knew you would say that” Jean responded, Dante has a good heart but he wondered why life was against him.After Dante left the orphanage home, he was able to get scholarship into the university and then lost it, years later the decision of leaving their foster father’s drug business, was the wrongest because they were still at square one-poor while Charles was a billionaire. “Be quick here, we have a lot of work preparing for the exhibition tomorrow” Jean told Dante as he left the dressing room.******Dante Willow carefully dropped the heavy art canvas on the table as he heaved a sigh of relief to rest a bit, for the past four years that he worked at the gallery, he suddenly hated his jo

At the police station Dante sat in the interrogation room with handcuffed hands on the table, detective Kelly walked in and sat opposite him."Dante, there is are missing art pieces that cost billions of dollars, a dead co-worker and witnesses that claims you are involved in this, care to explain?"Dante was in shock and disbelief that they were accusing him of a crime he didn't commit."I didn't kill Jean, I was only trying to stop the masked men""Nice story Dante, witnesses say you were struggling with one of the assailants, the gun went off and your friend ended up dead" Detective Kelly leaned in searching Dante eyes for a sign of deception "That is a lot of bad luck for someone trying to stop a robbery""I had nothing to do with this, I don't even know those men?" Dante tried to explain "Who said you did? Speaking of knowing, since you mentioned it. Those men who don't work in the gallery knew the passcode which only you and the other workers at the gallery knows""There are abo

“What?” Dante exclaimed the excitement in his face washing away to a surprised expression “Do you want me to read it to you?” Audrey couldn’t help but feel bad for him, her family treated him cruelly ever since they started dating. It was her personal decision to marry Dante because she loves him, but her family didn’t believe love could keep them together, they thought of Dante as simply a gold digger who wanted to attach himself to a wealthy family by marriage while bringing nothing to the table.The only instruction from her father she didn’t obey was marrying Dante, each and every passing day he reminds her how her life would have been better if she didn’t marry Dante.Thinking their marriage would go smoothly and she finally gets to prove to her family that Dante was a smart and nice guy, instead things went sour and harder for him, after dropping out from law school-because of her, he couldn’t get a decent high paying job and to make matter worst he was now spending time in jai
