David's face was face to face with the toes of the shiny shoes that Jack was wearing.

"Come on. What are you waiting for? You didn't change your mind, did you? Don't waste my time."

'For your wife, David.' So, finally, David kissed the toe of Jack's pointy shoe. Then immediately stood up straight after that.

"I've done it," said David.

Jack nodded his head. "Haha, yes I know. You are so easy to belittle. This!" This time, David slapped the money on his right cheek.

“Tips for a loser like you. Now take all the scattered money and all your equipment and then immediately get out of here. I can't stand the smell of your stinky body. Hurry up!" Without many words, David took all the money. This is quite a lot of money. He can buy a lot of necessities to eat at home and a birthday cake to celebrate his wife's birthday. Surely his wife would be pleased. David was very excited. He couldn't wait to see his wife smile.

David carried a lot of plastic in his hands. Tonight, there will be a big and delicious meal. Don't forget the birthday cake that he bought especially for his wife Lily.

David quickened his pace. However, he stopped immediately when he saw a familiar figure.

"Lily?" That's Lily. What made his heart constrict was Lily's togetherness with Jack. His grip on the plastic bag he was holding tightened. "What are the two of them doing here?" His heart ached even more because Lily seemed to hold hands with Jack and they looked thrilled.

David followed them quietly. The two of them entered a restaurant. David also went inside. He received cynical stares from several people in the restaurant. This must all be because of his dirty and dull appearance, and the unpleasant odor that might waft from his body.

"Sir, is there anything we can help you with?" said one of the servers in an unpleasant tone. Look at his appearance from top to bottom.

"Sir, you didn't enter wrong, did you?" she asked again.

“I was following my wife,” David replied.

"She came in here earlier," he added.

"Your wife, sir?" she asked in an uncertain tone. How could a man who looks like himself possibly have a wife who could fit into a five-star restaurant like this?

"Yes. Earlier, she came in with a man," replied David. He turned his head to the right and to the left to find his wife. He could hear the whispers of the guests in this five-star restaurant. Some laughed at him.

"Perhaps you saw it wrong, sir?" asked the server.

"Not. Please let me look for her.” David was about to run to find his wife. But his hand was immediately caught.

"Just a moment, sir. Let's just talk outside. Looks like you really saw it wrong.” David's presence is considered very disturbing to the comfort around the restaurant.

"That! That's my wife!" David shouted so loud that all eyes turned to him. Including his wife and Jack. Lily looks surprised to see her husband, while Jack looks happy. He deliberately put his arm around Lily's hips. Jack's treatment very surprised Lily.

David ran to Lily. "David. It's not what you think it is."

"Come on, Lily. There's no need to feel guilty like that. It's your birthday, and you should be happy. I'm sure this poor man can't make you happy."

"Just look at how he looks now. He can only embarrass you. See people around. They're talking about your husband. Aren't you ashamed to have one like him?"

David was silent. He didn't know what to say at this point. What Jack said was true. He couldn't avoid it and it felt like it was useless. The whispers only grew louder. He was really humiliated. Insult after insult kept coming from Jack's lips. He didn't have a face anymore until his face was down.

"David, go home," Lily said at last. They looked at each other.

"You hear? Lily asked you to go home. Go. Don't spoil Lily's happy day."

"Sir, come on, I'll take you outside," said the server. The atmosphere is just getting excited by the second. This must end immediately. David had given up. His wife was right. He would only embarrass her. Maybe if he went and let Lily be happy for today with the luxury that Jack gave her, it would be the most beautiful gift.

David nodded his head. "Okay." David, with the crackle bag he was still holding tightly, was ready to leave. But suddenly a group of people entered. David turned his gaze to them. They were all dressed in black with neatly trimmed hair. Looks so masculine with a stocky body. After paying close attention, David was quite surprised because he knew who they were.

'Why are they here? How do they know I'm here? Have they been spying on me all this time?’

The atmosphere that was originally bustling became quiet for a moment when a group of men in black suits approached David.

"Who are they?" Jack asked Lily. Lily shook her head in disbelief.

"I don't know," she answered quietly in a whisper.

David watched one of them, then shook his head to give them a signal. But it seems that what he did earlier was ignored. They all simultaneously bowed their bodies then firmly in unison.

"BOSS!"

Making everyone who was their gape with a very obvious look of surprise.

'Oh, dammit!'

“What the heck? Boss?!” Jack is the most surprised by that.

    “What do you mean by the boss?” Jack couldn't believe what he had just seen and heard. They all just bowed respectfully to this poor David?! Ha!'What a joke that wasn't funny at all!' he thought, feeling disapproved of what had just happened."Hey! David! Quickly say this is just a misunderstanding! How can a poor person like you be the boss of this elite group of men?” Jack looked at David with a sharp look. David looked at Jack.Several people nodded their heads in agreement with Jack's words. Then laughed mockingly. Some even deliberately recorded to capture this embarrassing moment to be ridiculed later. Or maybe they will spread it on the internet later."Boss! Are you okay? Do you need us to punish these people who have treated you so badly?!” said someone who used to be David's right-hand man. The man did not seem to accept his boss being treated casually like this. In the past, his boss was very authoritative and highly respected. He is known for his cold and cruel personalit

    “Boss, where are you going?” Bruno immediately confronted David, who was walking fast.“Go home,” David replied in a lazy tone."Then please get in the car, boss. There." David pointed to a luxurious black car that had been neatly parked. David raised an eyebrow."No need. I can walk.”"In that case. Let me accompany you on foot.” Those words actually annoyed David."Can you guys go?" asked David.Bruno lowered his head. Not daring to look at David with the piercing gaze that he hadn't seen in a long time. It still looks just as scary as before. He missed that authoritative figure."Haaahh..." It was the umpteenth time David sighed."Can't you see how I'm doing now, Bruno? There's nothing more you can expect from me. I've turned into a coward. There is no more power left. No more money. No more fit and muscular body. My greatness has completely disappeared. Replaced by misfortune that keeps on coming. I'm so bad. So why else do you come to me? Go.

    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.

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

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.

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

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.
