"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 can pay the bills. I'm not faking anything."The manager crossed his arms, still unconvinced. He demanded immediate payment."Prove it then. Pay the bill right now." The manager said it angrily.Dave reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, ready to settle the bill through a digital payment app."Does he think we are joking here?"Nelson said this and snatched the phone from Dave's hand."Oh look, he can't even afford a decent phone! Who's faking now? Probably trying to show off with expensive wine.""Give me back my phone". Dave said, and as he was about to stand up for it, the guards shouted at him and allowed him to sit down.You call this a phone?" You little rat,come for it if you're bold enough."Nelson said and laughed,Afterward,he raised the phone above his head and hit it hard on the floor.Nelson's cruel mockery hitDave like a punch to the gut.He was left feeling confused and helpless, unsure of how he would pay the bill now that his phone lay broken on the floor."Are you paying for the wine you ordered, or should I call the cops"."Sir, trust me, I can pay, but my phone is now broken.""Are you serious at all, young man? If you're ready and you have money to pay for the wine, I think you should have money in your wallet"."You don't understand; the money is on my phone, sir, and I was about to transfer"."I think I should call the cops on you, young man"."Don't waste time, manager; just call the cops. Amelia echoed from behind.The manager barked at his guards, unable to muster an ounce of empathy. Dave's eyes were filled with fear, and his voice was trembling as he pleaded for understanding."Please, sir, I beg of you," Dave implored, his voice barely audible amidst the chaos of the room. "I've fallen on hard times and lost my job, but I can possibly afford to pay my bills all at once."The manager's gaze remained cold and unmoving, his heart seemingly immune to the desperation that reverberated through the air.He saw Dave as nothing more than another inconvenience, another statistic of unpaid bills."I couldn't care less about your sob story," he sneered, his voice laced with disdain. "Just like the others, you've had plenty of time to address your financial obligations, and now it's time to face the consequences."Dave's eyes welled up with tears, his hope of finding compassion rapidly dwindling."Sir, I promise I will pay you the money," he pleaded, his voice breaking.But his heartfelt plea fell upon deaf ears, drowned out by the harsh command of Nelson, "Keep quiet, you worthless fool!" His voice boomed, drowning out any remaining shred of hope that clung tightly to the man's trembling heart.The guards, cold and detached from the situation, approached Dave with a sense of determination that chilled the atmosphere.They grabbed him firmly by the arms, wrenching them behind his back, and began leading him away.Dave struggled weakly, his pleas for mercy fading into the abyss of indifference that surrounded him.Seeing an opportunity to exert his authority, the manager called for the police to lockDave in a room, preventing him from escaping.The situation seemed dire, andDave's mind raced for a solution."Guards,help the cops take this silly man away from here."The manager said nothing and turned.But then, in a moment of clarity, Dave remembered something his father had given him: a black diamond card.It had been an enigma, an object of mystery that his father had briefly mentioned but never fully explained.With a surge of hope,Dave reached into his wallet and pulled out the black diamond card, which shimmered in the dim light of the establishment. He held it up for the manager to see."Manager, please wait. Don't let them take me away. Please.".Dave said, and the manager turned back to him."What's it again?" I have a lot to accomplish, young man."The manager's eyes widened, and his expression changed from skepticism to awe."You have the black diamond card?"Where did you get this? This card is not meant for anyone at all.The manager said that, and Nelson turned to look at him in a confused way."Can't you see that this man is trying to defend himself? He might have stolen this, manager?" Let the cops punish him."Nelson said it in an angry manner.Dave looked at Nelson with determination in his eyes, refusing to be intimidated any longer."Listen here, Nelson. This card is not stolen. It's mine, given to me by my father. I don't owe you any explanation, but I can assure you, I can pay my bills and much more."Dave, intrigued by the mention of the black diamond card, approached Dave cautiously."If what you're saying is true, then prove it. Show me what this card can do," Dave said, his curiosity piqued.Dave took a deep breath, realizing that this was his chance to turn the situation around.He knew he had to convince them to let him pay his bill and avoid involving the police."Nelson, this card holds immense power and privileges. It's not just a credit card; it's an invitation to a world beyond your imagination.With this card, I can pay not only for the wine I ordered but for the entire restaurant if I wish. Let me settle the bill right now, and you'll see for yourself.""Look at this poor guy. Have you ever forgotten how poor your dad is and how he managed to force you to marry me?".Amelia yelled, feeling annoyed with what Dave said."Let's calm down first. I want to be sure of the diamond he's talking about".The manager hesitated, glancing at the broken phone on the floor and then back at Dave and the mysterious black diamond card..After a moment of contemplation, he nodded, his skepticism fading slightly."Alright, young man. Show me what this card can do. But remember, if you're bluffing, the consequences will be severe.""I will let my guards punish you to death if I realize that what you're saying is full of lies". The manager said"I can settle the bill at the restaurant I'm currently at," Dave replied, trying to hide the hint of triumph in his voice. "Please, I will transfer the necessary funds to cover the expenses.""Liar, just pay and stop the noise, Dave". As Nelson continued his mockery, his voice dripping with disdain and contempt, Dave felt a surge of anger rise within him.How could someone be so callous and cruel? Nelson's words cut deep, but he refused to let them break his spirit.Meanwhile, the manager, who had been observing the unfolding events with growing curiosity, couldn't believe his eyes when Dave revealed the black diamond card."Oh my goodness,the black diamond?"The manager stunningly said that his initial skepticism vanished,replaced by sheer astonishment."This was no ordinary card; it was a symbol of immense power and influence, a card that only the president's family possessed."The manger said!Nelson, oblivious to the significance of the card, commanded the guards to beat Dave.But before they could carry out his orders, the manager intervened, his voice filled with authority and a hint of anger."Beat that stupid man to death, guards. What are you waiting for?"."Enough
"How dare you, manager!" Nelson spat, his face contorted with rage. "You think you can defy me? I will make sure you pay for this!"The manager, though shaken by Nelson's threatening demeanor, stood his ground, refusing to cower before the belligerent man."I won't be intimidated, Nelson," the manager responded, his voice laced with a hint of defiance."You may have influence, but I have integrity. I will protect my staff and uphold the dignity of this establishment."Dave, taking in the escalating tension, felt a surge of determination within him. He knew that Nelson's fury was directed not only at the manager but also at him."The black diamond card isa symbol of power, Dave is the president's son, as he said.The manager added. He was trying to let Nelson humble himself, but he wasn't ready for that.Unfazed by Nelson's threats, Dave calmly spoke, his voice steady and resolute."Nelson, your obsession with power and destruction won't get you anywhere. The president's party tonight
"We have security personnel positioned strategically throughout the premises," the manager explained. "They are aware of Nelson's presence and will be on high alert. Our priority is the safety and well-being of everyone attending the party."Dave nodded, appreciating the manager's proactive approach. He knew that they had to be prepared for any situation that might arise. With the manager's guidance, Dave formulated a plan to subtly gather evidence against Nelson and his connections, intending to expose their illegal activities.As the evening descended, guests began to fill the ballroom, adorned in their finest attire. Dave mingled with the crowd, engaging in conversations and forging connections. He strategically positioned himself to observe Nelson, who seemed determined to make his presence known.Dave caught glimpses of the beautiful girl, Alice, whom he had encountered earlier. He observed her interacting with various influential individuals, showcasing her intelligence and
Nelson's expression turned serious as he reached for his phone. He quickly dialed Amelia's number, hoping to confirm her presence at the party and relay his message."Hello, Amelia? It's Nelson," he said, his voice firm yet composed. "Are you already at the party? I need to speak with you about something important."Amelia, who was attending the party in a separate area, picked up the call. "Yes, Nelson, I'm here. What's the matter?"Nelson took a moment to gather his thoughts before continuing. "Listen, Amelia, I've just witnessed Dave pulling off his usual tricks with the manager.It's time we put an end to his deceptive ways. When you arrive, I want you to be on your best behavior, but I also want you to observe everything closely."Amelia's curiosity piqued as she listened intently. "What do you have in mind, Nelson?"A determined tone resonated in Nelson's voice as he replied, "I want to expose Dave for who he really is.Let everyone see his true colors. But for that, we need ev
"I am ready to fight and win the battle ahead."Dave said with a grin and excused himself for the president to speak with his colleagues.As he walked away,he felt something holding him up and admired himself for the man he's becoming now.Dave was now at the counter, waiting for the waitress to serve him."Master, you're back?"The lady asked with a beam."I'd thought you were going to leave without coming for your prepared whiskey."The woman exclaimed"Hahaha,I still remember my package waitress".Dave said with chuckles and nodded his head, waiting for the waitress to serve him his whiskey and hot kebab, grilled and garnished with veggies."I can feel the aroma of the grilled kebab; you must be a good cook."Dave teased with a smile.The waitress smiled back, and after she was done,she served Master Dave with his whiskey."Get my khebab in a package for me. I would like to get another bottle of whiskey and serve it at my hotel."Dave exclaimed.Okay, sir,I will be done in a jiffy.
"We all deserve to be loved and treated equally."Alice said and turned away to his colleagues who also came for the President's grand party.People were leaving, and others were having their last talk with the president before they left.Their happiness and laughter meant a lot, and that was the reason Alice felt like having her time again with Dave."I hope you're enjoying everything about the president's party."Alice said to her colleaguesYes, it's a blast! and I can't wait to get more of this."One lady said"Alice,I can sense how happy you are from the look on your face. Tell me, baby girl,do you have something to do with that man they call the president's son".Shhhhhh, keep quiet, Judith; that shouldn't be said here; he's not yet revealed, nor is the president's son, and that will be done at the right time."Alice spoke with caution."Leave those jokes aside. Are you even serious? How can a president hide his own son if he's truly the heir and the father is proud of him?""I
"Alexander Cromwell?" Dave let out a scream. "Are you the son of the late Mr.Cromwell?" Dave asked in a hurry.Yes, I am. I've been wanting to meet you one day in my life, and since my Dad was a prestigious member of your Dad's clan,I also possess the quality of a president's son.""That sounds ridiculous,Dave said, smiling.Dave stood up and put on a shirt. He got to the door knob and opened it gently to welcome Alexander Cromwell.A well-built man with widened shoulders stood glamorously in front of him."Alexander Cromwell,the son of the late Mr. Cromwell, is welcomed to my humble abode.""You see, Dave, there's a world beyond the glitz and glamour of this party," Alexander, in his black spectacles, whispered, his voice laced with a menacing undertone. "A world filled with secrets, power, and hidden agendas And you, my dear friend, are at the center of it all."Dave's heart raced, and his mind was consumed with questions. Who was this man? What did he know? The weight of his father
Yes, Dave,he was acting strange, so the fear made one want to tell him your whereabouts."."Alexander Cromwell is a beast!."He's jealous of my Dad's position as president, and me becoming the next heir is something strange to him.""Dave,that man is very dangerous; the security guards could not even act when he shouted at them.""I know, right?" His expressions define who he really is, and I must beat the hell out of him"."It all takes time, Dave. You are still not done with Nelson Cruz and now Alex Alexander Cromwell.""That's not a big deal; I must get to my hotel now since everything is in order"."All the best, Dave. I will take my leave now.""Surprise, Alice! I couldn't let you leave without saying a proper goodbye," Dave chipped in, his voice filled with warmth and sincerity.Alice's eyes widened in delight, and a radiant smile spread across her face. She embraced Dave tightly, cherishing the unexpected reunion. "I can't believe you came all this way just to see me off. You tr
