    After what felt like eternity,Dave finally got back to the office and laid his head tirelessly on the desk.The boss,who was always fond of insulting Dave, came out of his office and threw Dave's monthly salary at him.He stared at him with a smirk and cleared his throat."Take this to hold your breath; I've noticed that you're not active with the delivery work. I do not want to see you near my company again.""But sir...""Shhhhhh, shut up before I take the money back from you."The manager interrupted Dave's speech and asked him to leave."100$?" Dave screamed and looked at the money."How much do you think I could give?"The manager shouted at him with a snarl."At least half the payment will be okay; this is not enough."Dave said it in a worried way and took a look at the money in his hands one more time."This is the last time I'm saying this. Get lost from my sight.".The manager yelled at Dave, and he walked away with the 10 dollars in his hands.He had been delivering items f

    Chapter two"You called me Mom." Dave said it in a polite way and stood behind Madam Charlotte's chair."You better get out of my sight and get yourself busy in the kitchen." Madam Charlotte yelled, and Dave stared at her in a confused way. Was he not done with what he was supposed to do?"I guess you're now mature enough to keep standing there after my mom tells you to leave her sight". Emily, Madame Charlotte's elder daughter, retorted.With trembling hands and a heavy heart, Dave made his way back to the kitchen until he felt like getting back to Amelia's room.As he entered the room, the sight before him shattered what little hope remained. There they were, still in bed together, Amelia and the man. A pang of disrespect pierced his chest, and anger mixed with hurt surged through his veins again.Nelson, oblivious to the pain he had caused, began to mock and laugh at Dave again. The laughter echoed in his ears, a cruel symphony of his shattered dreams and broken trust."I thought th

    Chapter three"Better get something and do it as a man, or else your dad is going to lose his life."Those words kept creeping into Dave's mind.Dave stood outside the jewelry shop, clutching the special watch that his father had given him.He felt a mix of sadness and desperation as he contemplated parting with the cherished gift.His father's hospital bills had been piling up, and they had reached a point where he had no choice but to sell the watch to cover the expenses."I can't afford to lose my dad."He muttered to himself and walked towards the jewelry shop.With a heavy heart, Dave entered the shop, the doorbell chiming softly as he stepped inside.The jeweler behind the counter looked up from his work, his eyes narrowing as he saw the watch in Dave's hand. Something seemed amiss."Good afternoon, sir," Dave said, trying to maintain a calm demeanor despite the nerves that were tightening his stomach. "I would like to inquire about selling this watch."The jeweler's eyes darted

Mocking comments and sneers followed them, questioning why the shopkeeper would associate himself with someone dressed in tattered clothes like Dave. "Why are people staring at me? Did I do something wrong?"Dave muttered to himself.Their words echoed in the air, creating a momentary cloud of discomfort. Dave, however, remained undeterred by their taunts.Turning to the shopkeeper, Dave offered a reassuring smile. "Ignore their comments, my friend," he said softly. "Let their words pass by like the wind. We know the truth of who we are and what we stand for."Amidst the mocking comments, a young woman appro

    Dave took a deep breath, preparing himself to respond to his ex-wife's cutting remark. He was about to assert that he wasn't a sweeper and that he had every right to be in the expensive hotel when an unwelcome interruption occurred.His ex-wife's husband strode over to the table, wearing a smug expression that signaled trouble."Well, well, well, what do we have here?" The boyfriend sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. "How did you manage to sneak your way into this fancy hotel, Dave? If you're here, you must be a worker, right? Maybe a janitor or a doorman?""Is that not poor Dave? The one my angel was once married to?"Yes, that's him. Good for nothing, man."Nelson said this and laughed."Remember respect, please? Dave said.How can I respect someone who can't even bother to dress appropriately for a fancy hotel?His ex-wife joined in, adding her own mocking tone to the chorus. "Oh, absolutely!

    "Get to the table and arrest that silly man over there." The manager commanded, and the guards walked angrily to Dave's table.Dave felt the weight of the situation as he stood surrounded by guards, their stern expressions making him feel trapped. The manager approached him, his face filled with skepticism and suspicion."Is it true that you can't afford the wine you bought? Are you faking it out here?"Dave's face flushed with indignation at the accusation. He took a deep breath and looked the manager straight in the eyes."Young man,who allowed you in here?". The manager shouted at him."Waiter ,"Waiter! He yelled again, "Yes, boss,the waiter came quickly without wasting time."Why did you allow a beggar in here?" Are you giving him the wine for free?"The manager shouted at the waiter, and he stood there in a confused way."This man is here to fake things; just look at him and see if he can afford this wine.""That's not true at all.

I need to know who is behind this company, who I'm dealing with."There was a prolonged silence on the line before Mr. Cromwell finally spoke, his voice dripping with menace.
