“Most expensive mansion?” Laila raised a skeptical brow. She was more than shocked. She had thought Samantha requested for the cheapest house here? “I thought you said you wanted the cheapest house here?” Laila asked. “Shut up, Laila! Whatever I said was in the past. What's the essence of being rich if you can't afford to live in a conducive environment? We have the money to buy it, unlike this irrelevant compound space.” Samantha said, her tone lensed with mockery. Byron laughed. “The houses here are quite expensive, Samantha. You might wanna reconsider. Even the lowest house Laila is talking about is nothing below a hundred G…” “I'm trying to recall when I asked for your opinion, Byron.” Samantha cut him short. “Expensive or not, it's none of your business! And besides, the president of Mega Corporation is my potential inlaw. Once Maggi is married to him, having a house would be will be just the beginning. I'll make sure houseflies like you are banned from places like this.
“What's the commotion all about? Why are these people here? What's going on?” That was Patrick, the manager’s voice. He had seen the commotion from the CCTV camera on his desk in his office. He had to come down by himself. The salesperson explained everything to him, bowing slightly. Then he turned to face Byron who just dropped the call he was making. “You mean, you just came here to show off?” The man asked, anger evidenced in his tone. Then he turned to the salesperson, “Are you telling me that this ‘thing’ thinks he can afford the exclusive villa? Are you sure your sight is working properly or you're blind? If you're blind then tell me so I'd kick your ass out of here!” Patrick thought that he could read people very accurately after many years of working experience. He could see at a glance about what kind of a person the buyer was and predict their purchasing power. Just by hearing Samantha explain how Byron gave her choices if he tried to pay and it worked fueled his anger.
The bodyguards muscles were twitching, their expression solemn, a cold and dangerous aura radiating from their bodies.It felt as though the temperature had suddenly dropped to the lowest number.Samantha nodded. “Yes, but since I'm referring to this moron, it only serves him right. I mean… people who can't afford to live shouldn't be alive, right?” Samantha rolled her eyes at Byron. “Hey! Don't forget we had a bet! Start crawling this instant! You're wasting my time!” Fred paused but this time with a different expression. Did this lady just order the young master to crawl?“Wait… crawl?” Fred asked and Samantha immediately nodded. “Yes, sir. We had a bet. If his card fails to pay for the villa, he crawls on his entire community!” Samantha gave Byron a wicked laugh then Patrick, Laila and the rest nodded in agreement.“Is that so, Patrick?” Fred asked with a slight chuckle. Only the bodyguards understood what that chuckle meant.“Yes, sir.” He bowed slightly.“And what was the young
Seeing this, Laila took a step back and tried to run but was caught by one of the bodyguards. Samantha fell on her knees immediately. She didn't even know what to do or whom to apologize to, she was simply lost in pain after her teeth fled out of her mouth.It was as if losing her teeth gave her brain a factory reset.“I'm a hungry dog. Please, I'm really sorry! But please, I want my teeth back.” She glared at the ground, pleading and searching for her teeth.How could she live with incomplete teeth? She isn't even up to 37 years yet. She was way too young to lose one of her incisors!“You just lost one tooth and you already want it back. Isn't that too soon to miss it? I mean, there's more that you're gonna lose and you let just one bother you?” Fred chuckled.He was willing to take even that vile tongue she used in insulting the young master out.The bodyguards dragged Patrick into their vehicle and zoomed off. Even as he was being taken, he couldn't help but plead for forgiveness
It was morning, outside the gate of The Stones clan. Military cars roar. The car in front carried a flag with the word, ‘Lord Dee of the western zone.’The whole car stopped, countless heavily armed military personnel stepped out one after the other. Their dangerous and dark aura surrounding the area.A commander walked to the car in front and saluted. “We are here, sir.”The car door opened and a bald middle-aged man in battle armor stepped out.The Bald man was the lieutenant of the military zone in the west, Mr. Hunter Dashiel, popularly known as Lord Dee and also a member of the Mighty Four.“You're welcome, Lord Dee.” Sniper bowed immediately he saw the intimidating aura in the surrounding. He dared not look Lord Dee in the eye if he wished to live.“I heard his body is here, I want to see it.” Lord Dee demanded.Sniper led the way immediately, not daring to say or question him.At the moment Sniper opened the door, Lucas’ corpse was the first thing his eyes fell on. Lord Dee wa
In about five minutes, Vanessa walked back and sat close to Byron, giving him a sultry smile. “The maids should be done in less than 5 minutes. I promise, it won't take long and you can still make it to your meeting… tonight.” Byron noticed the sarcasm in her tone. Of course she didn't believe he had a meeting tonight. He was always in a hurry whenever he visited. At least that's what she could say. Since the last time they kissed, she felt he had been avoiding her. Vanessa moved even closer this time, her eyes locking into his. “Are you really serious about having a meeting by 9pm, or are you just lying to me?” “Hey! Get off of my daughter!” Lord Dee yelled coldly and Vanessa quickly moved away from Byron. Vanessa buried her head in embarrassment. She was the one going close to Byron but Byron was the one told to get off of her. “Dad.” Vanessa walked quickly to calm her father. Byron didn't do anything wrong. In fact she was the one who insisted he stayed for dinner. Byron
Maggi wore her black heels as her mother helped in making her hair. Right now, she had a confused expression. Laila had locked herself up in her room since they got back yesterday and her mum had refused to say a word of how she lost one of her incisors. She had tried to get Samantha to tell her how it went with the house they were supposed to get in Pinnock especially since their company seems to be doing well, since Mega Corporation bought their shares even if it now seems like they own the company. “So… you mean you wouldn't be attending the auction as well?” Maggi asked as she was set and ready to leave. Samantha shook her head, “I have a slight fever, dear. I'd just stay at home.” She replied and turned to the other side. She couldn't bring herself to tell Maggi about her experience in Pinnock. I mean… how could she say Byron was backed up by this powerful man whose bodyguards removed her damn tooth? They might even think she was lying. If it was a rumor, she'd also sa
“Welcome gentlemen and ladies.”Byron adjusted his tie and settled down not too far from the Armstrongs who acted oblivious to his presence. The disgusted look on Liam face was evident that he didn't expect to see an ex-convict in this Grand event.Vanessa muted the call then took her seat as the auctioneer walked on stage.The hall was filled with a lot of people who were now seated so it's obvious the auction had started already. “Thanks for your presence at this exclusive event.” The auctioneer started, his gaze fixed on the covered pieces in front of him. Everyone was eager to see and know what it would be, especially the ladies. They knew bidding at this edition of auction wouldn't just add to their class, it was definitely going to make them the most talked about.“I am pleased to announce that this remarkable and divine piece: ‘The Worship of Diamond’ necklace-” He announced as he uncovered the masterpiece. “-will be sold to the highest bidder! I'm sure most of you know this
