"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!" the manager shouted, his tone commanding attention. "No one lays a finger on him. Can't you see what he holds in his hand?"The guards, caught in the crossfire between Nelson and the manager, hesitated. They looked to their superior for guidance, uncertain of how to proceed.The manager, realizing the gravity of the situation, turned to Nelson with a stern expression."Nelson, have you lost your mind? This man possesses something extraordinary, something far beyond our comprehension.Your insolence has no place here. I suggest you keep silent unless you want to be thrown out."Nelson, shocked and humiliated by the manager's rebuke, stood there in stunned silence. His face reddened, unable to process the sudden turn of events.Even Dave's ex-wife and mother-in-law, who had been watching the scene unfold, were taken aback by the manager's actions.The manager, realizing the need to make amends, turned to Dave, his voice laced with remorse."Sir, I apologize for the misunderstanding and mistreatment you've endured. I had no idea of the significance of that card. Please forgive me.""Apologizing?"Madam Charlotte screamed."Why is the manager kneeling before this poor man who can't even afford to pay his bills?"Amelia questioned her husband, Nelson, about being confused with the black diamond and why the manger knelt before Dave.Dave, his initial anger subsiding, regarded the manager with a mixture of skepticism and curiosity. He knew he had the upper hand now, but he wanted to ensure that the manager's apology was genuine."You must understand my hesitation, manager," Dave replied, his voice calm but firm. "This card is not something that should be taken lightly. It holds immense power and privilege. I forgive you, but I expect you to treat me with the respect I deserve."The manager nodded, his eyes conveying a newfound understanding and respect."I assure you, Dave, I will do everything in my power to rectify the situation. Your meal and the wine you ordered are at the hotel tonight. Please allow me to make it up to you."Dave appreciated the manager's gesture but remained steadfast in his determination."I appreciate your offer, but I insist on paying for my meal. It's only fair. And as for my broken phone, I will take care of that myself."The manager, acknowledging Dave's resolve, summoned the waiter and instructed him to bring the bill.Dave settled the payment with the black diamond card, leaving a generous tip as a sign of gratitude to the staff who had been caught up in the chaos."That's so good of you, Dave".The manger happily said:Dave felt a sense of relief wash over him. He had proven his ability to pay, and he had gained the respect of the manager and the staff. The black diamond card had not only saved him from a humiliating situation but also showcased its true power.Dave's ex-wife and mother-in-law approached him, their faces reflecting a mix of shock and regret."We didn't realize," his ex-wife stammered, her voice filled with remorse. "We had no idea about the significance of that card you hold.Dave looked at his ex-wife and mother-in-law, their expressions betraying a mix of regret and realization. Yes, Amelia,you will never know about it, and that should not be your problem."Dave could see the genuine remorse in their eyes, and a small part of him felt a flicker of satisfaction that they were finally grasping the gravity of the situation."I think we judged you in the wrong way." Amelia spoke in a shaky voice."No, you didn't," Dave replied, his voice tinged with a hint of sadness. "But it's not just about this card. It's about how we treat each other as human beings, regardless of our circumstances. We should never judge someone based on appearances alone."His ex-wife lowered her gaze, clearly reflecting on her past actions and the hurtful assumptions she had made about him. Her mother stood by her side, visibly affected by the turn of events."You're right, Dave," his ex-wife murmured, her voice filled with remorse. "I'm sorry for the way I treated you. I didn't understand the challenges you were facing." Amelia faked out her words.Dave took a moment to compose himself, realizing that this was a pivotal moment for them all. He had the opportunity to rebuild bridges and find a path forward."We've all made mistakes," Dave said, his voice softening. "But it's never too late to learn from them and grow. I hope we can move past our differences and find a way to coexist peacefully."His ex-wife nodded, her eyes brimming with tears. "I want that too, Dave. I want to make things right, if you'll let me."Dave considered her words, his heart filled with a mix of caution and hope. He had endured so much pain, but he also recognized the importance of forgiveness and second chances."I'm willing to try," Dave replied, his voice tinged with vulnerability. "But we need to take it slow and rebuild trust. Actions speak louder than words."His ex-wife nodded, understanding the gravity of his words. It was a long road ahead, but they were willing to embark on that journey together.As the chaos in the restaurant subsided and the atmosphere returned to a semblance of normalcy, Dave felt a newfound sense of liberation.The black diamond card had not only revealed its power but also forced everyone, including himself, to confront their biases and preconceptions.The manager, having witnessed this transformative experience, approached Dave with a mix of admiration and respect."Dave, I must say, I've never witnessed anything quite like this," the manager confessed, a hint of awe in his voice."Your strength, resilience, and grace in the face of adversity are truly remarkable."Dave smiled, acknowledging the manager's words. "Thank you for your kind words. It was an eye-opening experience for me as well.This card, as extraordinary as it may be, is a reminder that we all have the power to change and rise above our circumstances."The manager nodded, his gaze filled with newfound understanding. "You're absolutely right,Dave. This encounter has taught me a valuable lesson in empathy and compassion. I will strive to be better, both as a manager and as a person."Nelson, who stood there in anger, shouted at Dave to shut his trap."Manager,I can't believe you allowed this man to brainwash you so easily.""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
"Do you need a free drive, young man?" A driver asked from behind, and Dave turned to see who it was."I want a straight car to a hotel." Dave replied to him."Then I think you must wait a little bit for people to hop in my car so you can beg to join for free." The driver said it mockingly."Not really. I can afford to pay for a drive. Thank you, sir.""Are you for real? I thought you were late here on the streets to get a free drive."The driver said and got back to his car as he drove past Dave with laughter."It's funny how people underrate me."Dave said and walked through the bustling streets of Madrid, the vibrant city lights illuminating the path before him. It had been a long day, filled with endless walking and exploring the nooks and crannies of the marvelous grand party.Exhausted, he yearned for a moment of respite. A cab seemed like the perfect solution—a much-needed reprieve from the fatigue that had settled in his bones."I'm so tired; time is going by, and I need to ge
