“A member of the Hamilton family?, who told you that?, you're not a member of the Hamilton family”Mia and Dean looked at each other in confusion.“What are you talking about?” asked Dean, still confused.“I'm sure you heard me very clearly" said Andrew now in a mocking tone.Dean closed his eyes and smiled, he knew what this was, it was obvious that Andrew was trying to intimidate him or trick him in some way, but unfortunately for him, the Maestro of the underworld wasn't so easily fooled.“What do you mean Dean isn't a member of the Hamilton family?, We have the marriage certificate dad, you signed it yourself, officially making Dean a member of the family” The entire family burst out laughing after they heard this, leaving both Mia and Dean standing in bewilderment.After they were done laughing, Andrew cleared his throat and said, "oh Mia, you've been a member of this family your whole life, you've been a citizen of Reville your whole life, yet you still don't even know how these
Mia's eyes widened in shock at the words her grandfather had just uttered “Imperium?!, like one of the largest conglomerates in the country?, that imperium?!” asked Mia in shock“Yes Mia, that Imperium, if you can secure a contract for Hamilton Construction with Imperium, I will consider granting Timothy here a place in the family” reiterates Harry Mia fumed at the words of her grandfather, she didn't think she had ever been this angry in her life.“HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET A CONTRACT WITH IMPERIUM?!, I don't know anything about construction, I don't even have any credentials in construction, why would they give me a contact?” said Mia as tears started forming in her eyes.It was clear why her grandfather had asked her to do this.He had given her an impossible task that not even he or anyone else within the family could achieve, all but guaranteeing that she would be forced to break off her marriage to Dean when they inevitably failed to get the contract.Harry smiled misc
Stephen Chamberlain, despite being the CEO of Imperium, one of the largest conglomerates in the country, shuddered at the voice of the man he was speaking to over the phone.It was a voice he remembered well, despite only ever hearing it a few times.The deep, bold, and distorted voice always sent shivers down his spine whenever he heard it.“You asked my how I was, so I suppose I should return the gesture, how are you doing today Mr Chamberlain?” asked the Maestro “Very… very well sir” stammered Chamberlain as sweat quickly gathered around his face.“I do not wish for this conversation to take too much of my time, I am a very busy man of course” said the Maestro“Of course sir… I understand” said Chamberlain, as he frantically tried to wipe away beads of sweat from his face that had slowly started getting into his eyes.Dean smiled in amusement, due to the sounds he heard on the other side of the phone call.He knew Stephen Chamberlain was terrified of him, and was incredibly nervou
“I lied” Those two words rang in Mia's ears like the sound of a gunshot.After staring at her friend Anna for a few seconds, it was now Mia's turn to get angry.“WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LIED?!”, yelled Mia, so loudly that it caused her to be reprimanded by the waitress.After the waitress had left, Mia would speak again, this time in a much lower voice to prevent her from returning.“What do you mean you lied Anna?”“I mean I lied Mia, y'know… I didn't tell the truth, you can understand what I'm saying right, I'm not speaking chinese" replied Anna sarcastically, trying to lighten the situation.Mia sat on her chair, fuming with anger, and starting at Anna's face with an angry expression.Anna on the other hand, sat on her chair, deeply ashamed, with an embarrassed look on her face.She couldn't even look Mia in the eyes, so she made sure to look at her hands instead.“But… why?, why would you even lie about something like that?” asked Mia, in frustration.“To impress you” whispered Anna
“WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU HAD A HUSBAND MIA?” asked Anna, screaming at Mia's face.“Jesus Anna, I'm sorry… I didn't think it was a big deal” replied Mia.“Of course it's a big deal Mia, don't you realize what…”Anna stopped her sentence halfway after she looked in Deans direction and saw him shake his head from left to right.After seeing this, Anna sighed heavily, before turning back to Mia.“What going on Anna?” asked Mia, her voice now sounding worried.Anna waved her hand at Mia, “it's alright Mia, don't worry about it… c'mon, let's go in, my boss is waiting for us”.The trio headed to the front door of the tower to meet the waiting security guards.Dean's gamble paid off, as after the guards saw that Dean and Mia arrived at the tower in a limousine, it helped Anna convince them that they were actually clients of Stephen Chamberlain.The guards eventually let the trio into the tower, and Anna led them up the stairs.After they had walked for a few minutes, they finally arrived at
William Herman stood frozen in place, as his boss approached him.“What the hell is all the commotion William?” asked Chamberlain,“This is an office space, not a zoo”.“Oh it's nothing sir…” replied William, nervously.“I was just telling these two women who snuck into the building, to leave”Chamberlain's eyes squinted in anger after hearing this “they snuck in until the building?”, He asked, “how did they get past the guards?” He asked again.“I have no idea, Mr Chamberlain, but I assure you, I will get rid of them this instant” said William and he angrily grabbed the two women and began dragging them away from Mr Chamberlain.Chamberlain could only shake his head at such a blatant breach of his security.“Imagine if they were assassins”, he thought, “I might already be dead”.Mia, seeing that Stephen Chamberlain was so close to her, didn't want to waste this opportunity, and felt that she had to use this chance to speak to him.“MR CHAMBERLAIN!” she yelled in his direction, howev
Stephen Chamberlain's led Mia Hamilton to his office that was about three floors above the one she had met William.Once the got in, Mia was absolutely shocked by how beautiful and spacious the place was.Mr Chamberlain, had an entire floor of the Imperium tower, dedicated to himself.The upper half of each side of the office walls was transparent, allowing Mia to see the entire city of Dinham through the office.They both sat down, and Chamberlain poured Mia a glass of whiskey.However, she declined as she was too nervous to drink anything.Unknown to Mia, Chamberlain was actually very alarmed by this, as he saw it as a sign that Mia was still very angry due to how she had been treated in the Imperium building.Despite the fact that he already knew why Mia was there, he still decided to ask, “So, what brings you here today, miss Hamilton?”Mia, rushed into her bag and produced a number of documents, before laying them on the table in front of Mr Chamberlain.“I… uh, I am here on beha
William shivered, immediately he saw the dark shadow that had been cast on him.This caused him to finally cease his relentlessly assault on his former assistant.Turning around slowly, to get a proper look at the man who was standing behind him.William Herman locked eyes with Dean Bradson.The man's face didn't convey anger, rather it showed the face of a man who was annoyed, and disappointed… as strange as that was.William opened his mouth to dismiss Dean, but a Haymaker to the jaw, interrupted his words in a flash.The blow knocked William down and disoriented him, leaving him confused of his surroundings and situation for a brief moment.Dean, on the other hand, just stood there looking at him, waiting for him to recover his senses.Once William recovered, he spat out a tooth that had been knocked out by Dean, due to his attack.After seeing this, William's rage exploded, and he rushed at Dean, screaming loudly.Unfortunately for William, Dean dodges all of his slow attacks, bef
