The salon was huge, nearly thirty feet long and ten feet wide with windows and French doors overlooking elegant gardens with numerous fountains and pools. There was a handful of people, the early billionaires who were already admiring the fat cushions tha stared at them by the entrance.They couldn't wait for the unravelling of the mysterious billionaire who would be allies with all and sundry but Davin wished the time never came. He wondered if he made a mistake, the only good thing about this party was the smirk on his face when Maya and Derek found out he was the one. He could overemphasize the ecstasy he already felt thinking about it. He looked reluctant but never nervous, if nervous then in a good way.“How do I look?” Davin asked standing in front of the mirror.“You look nice, just a little touch on…” he readjusted the shirt and places the tie in the centre, “now you're good to go.”“Thank you James, you've been very helpful.” Davin said thankfully.“My pleasure boss, don't f
Isabella became shy all of a sudden, the outspoken, bold and beautiful girl hid behind her father's fortress today. Kendrick came back to his senses. He saw the way she looked at him, if there was nothing then why would she behave that way. She left her for only few hours and she had found another love, very much impressive for taking things to another level!“Hello? Kendrick are you here?” Kendrick nodded and moved aside. “What's wrong with your son?”“He'll be fine, just a little stressed.” Mr. Strandsen exhaled loudly. He had seen what just happened and he didn't need any interpreter to translate the audio-visual because although he was old, his brain still worked. “C'mon boy, let's go take pictures and brace up, it going to be fine.”“What's happening? I'm lost.”“It's men talk. Brace up.” He mimicked himself and she smiled.“Okay if you say so.” Isabella checked her phone, he had double texted
She couldn't stay quiet for long, she didn't like the silence between them especially when they swam in a pool of diverse emotions. She pretended to be on her phone while he pretended to be concentrating on the road. She got tired and decided to be the first person shooter.“Do we have to be quiet through out this journey?” “I prefer we continue the journey this way.” Peter answered expressionlessly.“Why do you always act up when there's something good.”“What's good? A kiss? I don't feel it's something good.”“So what's something good? Considering that we're going for a party and it may as well be my last day.” Sarah said with mixed emotions of frustration and anger.“Can we not talk about this?” Peter demanded.“Ok dear, what do we rather talk about that will be intriguing and fast paced through out this dull journey.” Sarah snapped quickly.“Nothing. We talk about nothing.” Peter said, increasing the volume of the stereo.Sarah frowned. His demand for no conversation and quiet s
“Boss, we have bad news and good news.” Raul said with his face down.“Good news first! I'm in a good mood.” Derek said smiling.“The goodnews is that if you give the order now we can pursue and recollect our goods and take even more because we know who's behind the attack.” Mario said in a serious tone.“And the bad news?” Derek asked shaking visibly.“We lost Don Carlos and Tiga to death and a host of other workers to the brawl. We also lost all the goods on transit, but we can-”“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck!” Derek fell to the ground, he couldn't control himself. He smashed his phone on the glassware and it shattered and he had everyone's attention.“Boss we need to go!” Raul managed to say loudly.“I'm finished, this was my last resort! Where do I run to?” Derek said, his head in between his thighs.“Boss we have to go, the cameras are getting too much.” Mario said, helping him out of the curious pre
How dare you present such cheap and dirty necklaces to my daughter as a gift on her special day?!” Victoria boiled in anger, staring wickedly at Davin.All the guests present in the party turned their attention to the scene. Today was Maya Windsor's 25th birthday party, hailing from one of the most influential families in the city. It was a very big one.“What did you expect from a scumbag like him, I'm pretty sure that thing isn't even up to $100” Isabella chipped in.The entire family broke into laughter, each throwing taunting words at Davin, the fella on the other hand remained silent, his fist clenched tightly as he bowed his head slightly.He then looked in his wife Maya's eyes, waiting for her to say something, wanting to know if she'll stand by him this time around, of course she wouldn't, she had never supported him, but yet he hoped she could today.‘Come on Maya, say something’ he said to himself.Maya looked at the necklace in her hand, though it was cheap, but it was stil
Davin held his cheek, it was now red.“What was that for?” Davin asked, staring at Isabella with hatred. How dare she hit him, if not for one thing he'll have made her crawl on her knees, he was far older than her.“Do you need a reminder before you clean up the house? Can't you see the party is over and the place is a mess?” Isabella said she was so confident that there was nothing Davin could do to her, with just a gesture she could send her bodyguards to beat him up, he was super vulnerable to her.“Don't you ever hit me again” Davin warned, Isabella was shocked by his reaction, she had never seen him so angry and fierce looking before. Although her bodyguards were around she could swear she felt afraid a bit.“Or else what. What will you do if I hit you again?” Isabella asked.Davin ignored her, he then walked away, arguing with an amateur like Isabella was pointless. He got a broom and started cleaning up the entire mansion, he knew even if Isabella didn't remind him, he'll still
Argh”“My head…” Davin awoke with a start, his head throbbing . He took in his surroundings and noticed the cold, damp and Stony wall. A prison cell.“What? How did I get here” he asked in a puzzled state after realizing what happened a few hours ago, he almost killed Derek. “Goddamn it” he cursed.Not too long after a lady officer walked to his cell and released him, he had a visitor.***Davin took a seat beside Victoria, his expression remained calm as always, despite the ongoing commotion, his breathing was slow and steady.“Do you realize the trouble you've put yourself into?” Victoria started.“Trouble? What trouble?" There was no trace of emotion in Davin’s words, just a steady resolve.“Derek is the heir to the Madison business empire, and you dare offend him, you are lucky you aren't dead by now” “Oh” Davin raised a brow.“You think this is funny?” Victoria stamped her feet, the Madison business empire is the second biggest company in the city, and almost twice more influent
Derek arrived at his house, a fancy mansion decorated with expensive materials. He walked inside, his eyes moving at all corners as though searching for something.“Where were you at?” Magret asked from behind.Derek was shocked, he turned.“Mo…mother? You're still awake?” He asked with a shaky voice.“Yes I am” she said, waking him with a suspicious look.“I was just out with the boys” he lied, trying to avoid eye contact.“What did you do this time around Derek?” Magret covered her mouth in shock, after seeing the little blood stains on his suit.Derek noticed she had seen the stains in his cloth, so he then tried to cover it.“What have you done Derek!” She asked again.“It's none of your business!” Derek yelled back at her, as he rushed to his room.‘My dear son. You're really going to stray, I hope you'll realize what you're doing is wrong someday. And I hope by then it isn't too late’ she heaved a sigh as droplets of tears ran down her cheek.Derek used to be a good and lovable m
