Lily watched the luxurious black car that took her husband away. Do not know where. Lily felt her heart tighten because of what her husband did. Her face was down. There is deep regret now. David had never acted like this before. Lily clenched her fists. Of course, this is all her fault. And now she really regretted it.
“Lily.” Jack came from behind, embracing her hips. Unlike before, this time, Lily completely dodged. It made Jack seem surprised to see Lily’s change. Lily had been really friendly to him before. Did not refuse his seduction at all. But after what happened earlier, Lily’s attitude changed 180 degrees to him. Jack clenched his fists. In just a matter of minutes, things have changed so much. His brows knit together, his angry look clearly visible. But Jack tried to hide it from Lily. No! He hasn’t lost at all. After all, not necessarily the poor David is a boss, especially a billionaire. If indeed he is a billionaire, then maybe for the past five years he has been comfortable getting insulted by many people, including himself.
‘I’ll prove it was all a mistake. Well, I’m sure there’s something wrong here! I have to be able to get Lily back! That loser David can’t have Lily’s heart!’ Jack swore in his heart.
“Come on, let’s eat inside. You must be hungry, right?” asked Jack, still in his soft voice. But Lily’s response made her blood boil.
“Not. I’m not hungry anymore. I’m tired. I’d better go home,” Lily said in a disinterested tone.
“But-“
“Just do it yourself, Jack. I changed my mind. Please enjoy your evening,” answered Lily hastily. She was about to leave, but Jack grabbed her arm.
“You really don’t want to? I’ve already booked a seat for the two of us. And it was not cheap. You know, this is a five-star restaurant.” Lily looked into Jack’s eyes. Of course, there was a look of displeasure there, and Lily realized it. But she really felt guilty for her husband. Oh, Lord. What’s with her? She’s been having an affair.
“Not. I’m really not interested.”
“Wait!” Jack’s breath caught. It’s a shame to receive that rejection.
“You must have changed, like when you heard that your pig husband is a boss, right? A fucking billionaire?! Oh, come on! Do you just believe it? Wouldn’t it be stupid to just believe it? I thought you weren’t that stupid! And, ha! You really are a gold digger fucking woman!” Because of his anger, Jack really couldn’t keep his mouth from saying harshly to Lily. Hurts the woman’s heart. Lily immediately slapped Jack’s arm around his wrist.
“Stop trying to meet me!” said Lily firmly.
She left, but again Jack held him back. “Wait. Sorry. I didn’t mean to tell you that. Really. Come home with me. You came with me,” said Jack, realizing what he said earlier. But Lily was also already burning with anger.
“No need! I can go home by carriage!” Then Lily really left. No longer paying attention to Jack’s repeated calls to her. While on the train, Lily was very restless. Is it too late to apologize to David? Does David still have the generosity to forgive her infidelity?
Lily covered her face with her hands. She cries. “David, honey, I’m sorry. Please, I made a mistake. Where are you now?” Lily could only hope that she could meet her husband at home.
***
David, Bruno, and the others had arrived in front of his mother-in-law’s house. “We can go to a five-star hotel to stay in before we return, boss. Isn’t your in-law always mean to you? She will surely annoy you a lot. We want to provide comfort for you, boss.”
David looked at the building in front of him, then turned to Bruno. “Come on.” But did not answer Bruno’s words earlier. He got out of the car. Bruno could only sigh. Actually, after five years of his boss’s absence, Bruno could see positive changes in his boss as well. His boss became more patient. Not arrogant like he used to be. Now, his boss can face the problem with humility. Bruno got out of the car, following his boss. Others followed him.
But they stopped their steps when suddenly there was a hint of ridicule that fell on David.
“Hey! Unemployment pig!” the old woman sneered in a really unpleasant tone. There was a middle-aged husband and wife looking at David with raised eyebrows and arrogant faces. Bruno watched them. Wondering what’s going to happen now.
David sighed. Something like this is a routine occurrence that he must accept when he meets a husband and wife who have a spicy mouth.
“I’m not in the mood to argue with Mrs. and Mr. Ainsley. I’d better go in now,” replied David, trying to be patient and polite. He wanted to continue walking, but the words with a scornful tone resonated in his ears.
“Look at that lazy fat man. Already unemployed, likes to make trouble. What the hell is that? Until the police came to his mother-in-law’s house. Are your mother-in-law and her daughter not ashamed to have a son-in-law and husband like him, dear? What a shame. If I had this useless son-in-law like him, I would definitely kick him out straight away. He doesn’t deserve a place to live. This fat guy was even more troublesome than the cats and dogs on the street. Huh! Disgusting! What problem is he making now? Mr. Cop, did he just steal? Ah, I thought so. He really is a jerk. Do not be forgiven him,” said the Madame Ainsley with that haughty face. David, who was used to such insults, was still patient. There was absolutely no anger in him.
Unlike Bruno and his subordinates. They all clenched their fists at the baseless ridicule..
‘What the hell is this old lady? They both already smell like graveyard wet. They should serve a lot in church, instead of insulting other people like that. Absolutely not exemplary! How strong my boss is to live amid these uneducated people!’
“I told you I wasn’t in the mood for arguing, madam Ainsley. So, I let the madam to use her imaginative brain to think about the insulting words. I don’t care,” replied David, not forgetting that he even bowed his body as a sign of respect to those who were older than him, even though he had received such insults. Ah, how humble David is now. He forgave them without feeling the slightest grudge. But unlike David, his Bruno will not stand still after these married couples have insulted his boss.
“HUH! How arrogant of you, you fat pig! What goods you thieved, huh? Show me! Is it some money, right?! Can’t support your own family, so you thieved! How much money did you steal?! Enough to eat today?! Otherwise, here! Take the leftovers from my sink! Hahaha!” The woman laughed with great satisfaction. Like a bad, ugly witch. This time, David was quite emotional. Was he really that dirty in the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Ainsley? To the extent that he is considered a thief? And what was that? Picking up leftovers in the sink? How low is he?
‘Relax, David. You can’t get angry. That’s what they want. You got angry so they have another sneer at you. Let’s ignore it and go inside.’
“That’s up to you, sir, madam. I don’t want to respond to that.” This time David did not want his steps to be delayed again because of the ridicule. Unfortunately, this time it was Bruno’s words that stopped him.
“Ladies and gentlemen, can you repeat what you said earlier?” said Bruno. David turned his face to look at Bruno, then raised an eyebrow. Bruno smiled as he looked at them.
‘What’s he going to do?’ asked David in wonder. He was worried that Bruno would lose control and do something bad for the married couple. David couldn’t bear it, even though they were mean to him.
“Ah, good-looking Mr. police officer,” said the madam in a coquettish manner. Bruno actually felt disgusted, but he still smiled. Bruno stepped into the courtyard of the husband and wife and approached them.
“Bruno!” called David and then gave his subordinate a warning look. But Bruno tried to calm his boss down by giving a small nod so the boss wouldn’t have to worry.
“Police officer handsome, sir. You must be very upset with that unemployed fat pig, right? It’s not your fault that you caught him. He’s really a criminal,” she said without hesitation and without the slightest sense of guilt while glancing at David with a sinister look. David didn’t know what made this couple hate him so much.
Bruno nodded his head. What the woman in front of her didn’t know was that Bruno had been pressing the recording console on his cell phone. He again provoked this husband and wife to say unfounded accusations against his boss. Then gave a satisfied smile when he got what he wanted.
“Thank you, sir and madam. I’ve got what I wanted. Now, are you guys going to apologize to my boss? A man you just slandered? I’ve recorded all the baseless accusations you made to my boss,” Bruno said while showing the recording he had deliberately made. Bruno raised his eyebrows. Then his gaze changed.
“And let me introduce myself. I am, and all those men aren’t police officers. We are the subordinates of our great Sir that you called an unemployed fat pig.”
“NOW. Hurry and apologize to my boss. Or I will report you to the police for those baseless accusations. You don’t know what we can do to protect the honor of our boss,” he said threateningly.
The married couple’s face suddenly turned pale. What is this? What has happened?
“W-what do you mean?” she asked, still not understanding. Bruno smirked. It’s not his fault. Whoever makes his boss hurt will get what they deserve. If they humiliated his boss, then Bruno could humiliate them back. Anything he would do to make his boss’s pride not look that low in the eyes of these bad people.
To be continued…
“Listen carefully, if you don’t apologize to my boss for the baseless accusations you harshly uttered to him earlier. So I won’t hesitate to put you and your husband in jail. Don’t mess with us. You really don’t know who you’re dealing with, Mrs. and Mr. Aisley!” said Bruno again, with narrowed eyes.Mrs. and Mr. Aisley looked nervous. But they don’t seem to want to apologize. It was very disgusting for them to apologize to that David, whom they often called the unemployed fat pig.“We don’t want to!” she said, trying to look fierce. She looked at Bruno.“You really think I believe your threat, huh?! I also have a police nephew! I can ask him for help! Your words have no effect on me at all, huh! I thought you were a great man! In fact, it’s the same with the fat pig! Huh! I’m so sorry I complimented you earlier, damn it!”Bruno snorted. This old lady really has no manners. His boss really has great patience to have a mannerless neighbor like them.“Bruno. No need to be served anymore
“David, come with me,” said the mother-in-law. David was confused but kept his feet following his mother-in-law from behind. Apparently headed for the kitchen.“Now tell me. What other trouble are you doing, huh?” she asked in a very annoyed tone.“I’m not causing any trouble, mother.”“Then who are they, huh?! There’s no way they suddenly came here. With you? Who are you, huh?! Don’t lie to me. They’re definitely not your friends. I know that you have absolutely no friends here. You’re just a stranger who came out of nowhere and got to know my daughter and you framed her to marry you so you could stay here. You’re just a parasite. So it’s very unlikely that you have friends as cool as them,” said her mother-in-law breathlessly because she spoke in one breath. Her condescending look was clear in David’s eyes.David clenched his fists. “Are you going to keep accusing me like that?” David asked. His face was down. For some reason, this time, he felt like he really wanted to fight back.
“Don’t kneel,” David said. He crouched down to help his wife up. Lily sobbed.“I’m sorry, David,” said Lily. David knew Lily changed only because of the treasure he thought David still had. Though it will not completely be his anymore. David knew that, even if he was asked to return, he had a lot to face. Maybe even his life would be at stake. That was why David was still a little hesitant. But seeing the change in his wife, who seemed to have the opportunity to love him, David thought it didn’t matter.“You must have hypnotized my daughter!” the mother-in-law did not accept what was happening in front of her.“Mother,” Lily warned her mother.But instead Lily was glared at by her own mother. “Are you stupid or what, Lily?! Don’t be so easy to believe! Could this poor husband of yours have a plan! You know, he just got the money. Or maybe what Mr and Mrs Aisley said is true that he stole. Then he used the money to hire these thugs! Admit it, David! They are not your subordinates! “ Th
Creak.David could finally enter the store. The moment he entered, all the gazes of the people in the same room immediately turned to look at him. Including Lily, as well as his mother-in-law. But his mother-in-law looked at him like she didn’t know him at all. David knew for a fact that his mother-in-law would be very embarrassed if everyone thought she had come with David, whose appearance was so unseemly enough to come in here. With the naked eye, everyone could see from his appearance that he was not someone from the upper class who could shop in a luxurious place like this.“Excuse me sir, can I help you?” David looked at the saleswoman. From the look on her face, David could tell she was pretending to be friendly. The frown on her forehead, and the stare, as well as her smile that seemed very forced, showed that she didn’t like David’s presence here.Creak!“David!” An exclamation with a high enough tone stole everyone’s attention.“What’s wrong, Onyx?” the saleswoman asked Onyx
It shocked everyone in the shop to see that. Some even shouted because they were scared by the atmosphere here. The situation has become increasingly tense.“AAAAAAAAAA! HELP!”“Shut your guy’s fucking mouth!” Bruno immediately looked at the screaming and then gave threatening words with his sharp gaze so that those who were shouting at the same time immediately covered their mouths with their hands.“Who are you?!” asked the police officer. His face is no less fierce.“Get out your fucking hands from my boss!” said Bruno before he answered the question.“I was trying patiently to wait outside. I thought my boss was being treated well inside this store. But apparently, damn it! You guys treated him so badly! How dare you! All of you! Fucking jerk!”David sighed. He knew that eventually Bruno would enter the shop. But he didn’t expect things to get so heated up like this. Until Bruno and his subordinates brandished their guns.“Bruno. Stop it. There’s no need to do such a thing,” said
“Now you!” Bruno pointed at the manager.“How dare you make a false arrest! Did you know that it’s also a crime?! You look so elegant, lady. All the women here look so beautiful and graceful! But all of you have rotten hearts! How can you just believe a man’s bullshit just now? Tch!” Bruno looked at all the women who were shopping. They all look so embarrassed.“I’m very sure no one is defending my boss earlier. What a waste of your beautiful faces! Your beautiful appearance and abundant treasures are meaningless because of your rotten heart!” Bruno’s words managed to make all the women who were there hurt. Lily is no exception. Her heart ached. She also didn’t even help her husband when he was so insulted. Lily actually acted as if she didn’t know her own husband.‘I am his wife. What have I done? What kind of wife am I?’ Suddenly Lily’s tears fell. She cried in a low, sobbing voice. This suddenly made her husband look at her and then startled.“Lily? What’s wrong? Why are you crying
David and Bruno were talking one-on-one. David looks seriously looking at Bruno’s iPad screen. To be more precise, he focused on seeing photos of a person on the screen. Not just one person, but several people. Don’t forget that David also saw some CCTV footage that was sent specifically to Bruno’s E-mail account in secret. Everything Bruno had arranged so carefully. There are already trusted people in the mansion to regularly provide information about the master and his wife, also their children.“They’re not that different from the last time I saw them,” said David at last. Bruno nodded his head.“The only thing that has changed is dad. He looks so thin and fragile,” there was a sad tone when he said it. David’s grip on the iPad even strengthened. There was a burning feeling that hurt him when he saw his father-in-law in such a state. Back then, when he was still there, his father-in-law still looked so fit. In fact, they often exercise together. Golf, riding, shooting and other thi
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!“Who’s knocking so loudly this morning? Just disturbing our peace.” Lily was annoyed.David shook his head. “Let me see.” He stood up to see who was coming, and Lily and his mother-in-law followed closely behind curiously.Creak.He opened the door. Turn out that was a cop. David frowned. “Yes, Officer? Is there something wrong?" Why suddenly the police come to his house? A few seconds later, three cars came. It was Bruno’s car and his subordinates. Bruno and the others came over near him.“What’s the matter, boss?” asked Bruno to the point. He saw the appearance of this police officer from top to bottom.“Don’t tell me you’re a cop hired by people who envy my boss?” Like what happened yesterday. Maybe there are still people who hate his boss.“If it’s true. I’ll make you regret it too. So before doing that, you’d better just give up.” it touched David that Bruno had always been his number one shield to protect him.The police officer shook his head. “No sir. I ca
David felt strange about Lily's behavior tonight, who suddenly gave him a big enough gift. Even though the woman knew that it wasn't his birthday, not even their wedding anniversary. But he also still didn't protest much when he got the gift even though he was very surprised."I hope it's not something gross or scary in it. You know I don't like that kind of thing."Lily chuckled but didn't say a word. She just stared at the box and motioned for David to open it immediately. Because David also couldn't hold back his curiosity, he opened the box and immediately saw that there was only one object there. One small object immediately caught her by surprise when he took a closer look at it.A pregnant test pack showing two blue lines. He looked alternately at his wife and at the object, in utter disbelief. A surprise he never expected. His brain immediately turned. It meant that what Lily had called a cold this morning was actually a symptom of pregnancy. And she was only able to tell him
As he had previously imagined, when he announced himself as the new president of the Baldovino Group, a lot of media was highlighting it. Now his name is again a trending topic in the media. Leading two conglomerate companies at the same time is clearly not something easy. There are even many other businessmen who also did not expect that in the end, he would get these two important positions.In almost every way David has to deal with the media which always doesn't want to be left behind about the new innovations that will come to the two big companies.Even when he chose to heal for a while at the mall alone, there were still many journalists who followed him and even interviewed him halfway."How did you first decide to run two companies at once? What about Mr. Baldovino?" asked one of the young female journalists now walking beside him. The young woman did not use the mic at all like journalists in general. She didn't even use his cell phone to record David's voice either. Maybe s
At first, Diego tried to restrain himself. He tries to stay sane. But in the end, he wasn't strong either. He screamed loudly while holding his mother's body. His screams were of course heard from outside. People who happened to be passing by around the apartment immediately stopped and in a few seconds only stared at the apartment without daring to enter it.However, several men who at that time were also doing their morning exercises had the courage to enter the apartment to make sure that there were people who needed help there. Because some of the men entered, in the end, other people also followed, including several teenage girls who were no less curious after hearing the screams.They were so shocked when they saw Diego crying hysterically. Even more surprised when he saw the person Diego was currently sitting on. A woman with a blue face and neck was reddened by rope marks.They just looked at each other for a moment because they were too surprised to see that. But then one of
Even though the police haven't found the perpetrator of her son's murder, Carina is very sure that the culprit is David. Indeed, if you think about it using logic, who else would do this to her son? Since they are now bankrupt and impoverished, surely people who used to be Alessio's business rivals or people who hate Alessio are now very satisfied when they see their situation. There was no longer anything they needed to do to bring Alessio's family down even more.The thing that was on Carina's mind right now was that her son still had a grudge against David after that night. Alessio obviously will not forget when David humiliated them in front of many people, especially in the morning they were humiliated again and kicked out of the Baldovino residence. Carina was absolutely sure that Alessio wanted revenge on David but lost in the end so it ended like this.In two days, she just locked herself in the room and tried to calm herself first before then taking action to avenge her own s
Alessio obviously didn't want to lose because he was the one who started this fight. If he just gave up, he would end up embarrassing himself in the end. He didn't want to be humiliated again. His price is already cheap enough now. He didn't want to be the butt of David again.After a few minutes, they fought in the warehouse, and both of them were covered in blood. Either just use their bare hands or also use some of the tools in the warehouse. David has absolutely no guns. It was a little inconvenient for David. As for Alessio, he has a knife and several sharp objects. Fortunately, David was able to grab the weapon during a fight.The person who excels here in terms of fighting--whether with bare hands or also using weapons-- is David."I know that it's not easy to accept defeat. I know you won't want to lose again here because it will embarrass you for the umpteenth time. But if you still want to live and still think that your life is something precious and must be guarded this tim
Just as they imagined last night, about how many media participated in the party, in the morning hell finally came to Alessio and his family. Like a most accurate hypothesis that probably ninety percent of the people who attended the party also thought. Indeed, who could not guess the circumstances of the morning when what happened that night was very clear?Somehow, it all had to be put into words, but the current state of their mansion was far from desolate. Outside, the media is waiting for information from Alessio and his entire family about the truth about Mr. Baldovino's daughter and two grandchildren who were killed by Alessio. This is certainly big news that will be the center of attention in the next few days. A great and also dark scandal that the media had never sniffed before from the conglomerate.In fact, not only the mansion where Alessio currently lives but David's residence is also filled with several media who are ready to cover and also ask for his statement about l
Before the day of determination that will determine who the winner is. David decided to call Alessio. This time he really wondered what Alessio was feeling knowing that he would lose. He did this solely to repay Alessio's arrogance towards him at that time. This is the time for revenge for belittling his father-in-law."Now, you have absolutely no chance to say those arrogant words," said David when his call was picked up. Video call so that David felt very satisfied when he saw that depressed and annoyed look. David was sure that right now, Alessio was thinking up all kinds of cunning plans to prevent his defeat from happening. But all the cunning plans that Alessio tries to come up with will be completely useless."According to our agreement, Alessio. You will hand over all the treasures that you have taken from Mr. Baldovino."Alessio was silent for a moment hearing that masculine voice from the other side. Sounds very heavy and also intimidating to him.'Shit! How could I lose?! E
David was very satisfied to see his sales traffic this month. Artificial intelligence technology will never be rejected by today's humans. What's more, he is indeed good at seeing opportunities from today's market tastes. He also most often markets his products to generation Z, which is already dependent on technology and artificial intelligence. Technology has become a necessity that will never be rejected by today's young generation. Not only the younger generation actually, but all generations. As long as they have the money to buy the multifunctional robot. Not only helping one job, but bu also helping several other jobs.David was so happy because of this. He even saw several YouTube channels that are now discussing their products. Many of these content creators review every product from their company and even review their shortcomings which can be an important note for David.Obviously, he was no longer the type of person who would get angry when it was mentioned the shortcoming
David began to show the prowess of the robot. All the commands he gave to the robot were carried out properly. His abilities were absolutely perfect like the last time he and his team conducted trials.All the guests who saw the scene were amazed. They even clap. Very loud applause. David and all of his employees feel very happy because they get such a big appreciation.On the day of the launch, everything went well. David can present his product perfectly. It was very surprising because all the guests who came at that time immediately bought the robot he made without blaming it that David set a fantastic price for each unit of the robot. Some even ordered more than one! That's so awesome!“I have to admit that I am impressed by what you are presenting. I am someone who closely follows the news of your business fight with Mr. Alessio Baldovino. As someone whose name is just being known in the business world, you exceeded my expectations," said one of the guests at the product launch e
