2025-01-22 17:56:17“Wow! You’ve migrated from being a petty thief to a full time criminal.” Fiona laughed as she got up from the floor, completely forgetting about her pretense of being in pain.
“Do you really think that you can deceive us? Other people may be fooled, but we’ve known you for years since you married my sister. Those who own black cards are among the most powerful people in the country. And this is a supreme black card. That means you stole it from the richest family in the country. I don’t know how you managed to do that, but when they discover your crime, they could have you killed. Do you even realise that?” Marilyn shook her head and scoffed at Roman.
She looked at him like he was the most stupid person she had ever known, then her gaze became calculating. If she could be the one to report the stolen property, maybe she would be given a reward.
Maybe she would even be invited to join the richest family in the country for dinner and start building connections from there. She had always been jealous of her sister for being ahead of her in business, but this was her chance to gain the upper hand.
“I didn’t steal the card. If it was so easy to steal something of this value, then black cards would not be so valuable.” Roman responded immediately.
“Be quiet! Don’t try to use twisted logic to talk your way out of this. I’m just glad my daughter divorced you on time so this will not affect my family. Imagine being associated with such a scandalous thing.” Fiona shook her head and immediately turned to the guards. “This man needs to be arrested immediately.”
Not even the guards believed that someone dressed so shabbily like Roman could own a supreme black card through legal means. They decided to believe Fiona since she looked like the legitimate owner of the bronze card she was holding.
They grabbed him roughly to drag him out, but before they could have Roman arrested, an elegant woman named Annabel, wearing red bottom heels, and a burgundy power suit walked towards them to find out what was causing such a scene in the bank. As soon as she saw the black card in Roman’s hand, she stopped.
“Let him go. Now!” She had a commanding aura, and they didn’t dare refuse her orders because she was a senior director at the bank.
Fiona and Marilyn had no idea of the woman’s rank in the bank, so they began to run their mouths.
“Are you his accomplice? He doesn’t seem smart enough to come up with such a fraudulent scheme on his own. This man is a thief and a liar. A nobody that has to clean gutters to make a living. There is no way that he’s the rightful owner of the card. Guards, arrest him.” Fiona spoke with so much arrogance as if she owned the bank.
One of the guards was stupid enough to move forward to obey Fiona’s order. Annabel immediately stepped forward and the sound of her palm meeting his face echoed throughout the space.
“For daring to disobey a direct order, you’re fired. Make sure you’re out of this bank in ten minutes, or I will have you arrested for trespassing.” She warned and the guard scurried off to get his things.
Marilyn took a step back and held on to her mother’s hand. They both realised that the woman must have rank at the bank to be able to fire one of the guards.
“We’re actual customers of this bank.” Fiona said as she flashed her bronze card again before she continued speaking. “And we demand for this man to be incarcerated for attempted murder, and theft.”
“Attempted murder?” Annabel asked incredulously.
“He pushed my mother and hurt her. She would have died if she had slipped and landed on her neck.” Marilyn butt in.
“I didn’t push her. She tripped.” Roman said, and Annabel believed him.
Truthfully, even if Roman had pushed Fiona, Annabel would still side with him because that supreme black card meant that he was in a higher rank than all of them combined.
“Would you like me to check the CCTV footage and confirm your innocence, sir?” She asked Roman with a smile.
“No need to waste any more time and energy on these two. Just get them out of here so we can all have peace.” He replied and she nodded.
“As you wish, sir.” She turned towards the closest guard. “Get them out of here.”
“Hey! You can’t do that. Do you know who we are?” Marilyn yelled.
“It doesn’t matter who you are. You only have a bronze card, the lowest card in this bank. If you don’t want to be thrown out, then leave on your own. If you cause more problems, I promise you that I will make sure your bronze card is cancelled. Not just that, I will make sure you’re permanently banned from doing any business with the bank for the rest of your lives.”

Fiona stuttered because she didn’t know what to say in response to Annabel’s words. She just held Marilyn’s hand and walked out of the bank.“Don’t worry, mum. I’m sure they’ll discover we’re telling the truth when he tries to withdraw from that card. There’s no way he knows the password. They will see that he’s a scam and he’ll be arrested, possibly treated even worse than they treated us just now.” Marilyn said as she tried to soothe their wounded pride.“You’re right, Mari. Then we’ll demand an apology from them, and maybe even compensation. But first, we need to call Haylee and let her know what happened here.”She took out her phone and dialled Haylee’s number. As soon as the call connected, Fiona didn’t even give her first daughter a chance to say hello, she immediately began to rant.“You’ll never guess what happened, Haylee. We just met your good for nothing ex-husband. I’m so glad you finally listened to reason and divorced him.”“Mum, slow down. Just tell me what happened.”

Then she called in an expert to take his measurement and immediately ordered ten different designer brands of suits, each with its own shoes and accessories that he could pick from.He took a shower, ordered room service, and he was served his meal like a king. A stylist came in to work on his hair, then he chose what to wear among all the clothes ordered. Annabel showed him a list of expensive cars for him to choose from, and within thirty minutes, the car was delivered after being purchased. “I would like to accompany you to the event, Mr Roman.” She said to him with a hopeful smile.“Are you trying to babysit me?

Haylee's eyes widened when she heard that Annabel was a senior director at the Prime Royale Bank. She quickly tried to compose herself, but her cheeks were flushed, and her palms were beginning to get sweaty. Being ignored by Rachael made her even more jealous because the woman was so comfortable speaking with Annabel. She stared at Roman with narrowed eyes, waiting for him to look at her so she could give him a signal that they needed to talk. Roman didn’t look at her though. His attention was focused on his conversation with Rachael after Annabel introduced him to her. Haylee’s grip on her wine glass tightened, but she had to force her grip to relax in order not to ruin her manicure.She was having a weird achy feeling in her heart, and her chest seemed tighter, making it a bit hard to breathe.

Hamilton glared at Roman as he walked away. Did he think this was a joke? How dare he say he would bid for the ring? “Don’t listen to him, Hamilton. He’s just bluffing. He has no money to bid with. He’ll just embarrass himself.” One of his female admirers said to him.He smiled at her, realising she was right. There was no need to worry. They mingled for a little while before it was time to begin the auction.The first item on the list was a vase that was crafted by an artist who was late. It was among his final works before he passed away, and that made it valuable. About ten people bid on it before it was finally sold for eight hundred thousand dollars.Next was a pearl earring set that belonged to a matriarch of a foreign country, and had been recently acquired after being displayed in a museum for two years. Hamilton immediately saw a chance to flaunt his wealth, and bid for the earring.“The starting bid for the earrings is three hundred thousand dollars.” The auctioneer announ

Hamilton was pissed off because Roman dared to bid for the ring.“You’re being so confident because you have Miss Annabel seated beside you. Trying to take advantage of her will not work at this auction. You seem to be unaware of the rules, and that could get you in trouble.” He said to Roman.“Don’t act like you’re concerned for my well being.” Roman scoffed at Hamilton.“And he’s well aware of the rule that no one can pay on behalf of another person once they bid on an item. The person who pays must be the same person who bids. I gave him the list of rules before we came.” Annabel said with a smirk as she looked in Hamilton’s direction.“And does he know what will happen to him when he fails to pay for the item with such a high bid?” Hamilton asked.He didn’t get a response to his question because the auctioneer began to speak again.“Two hundred million, going once. Going twice,”“Two hundred and ten million.” Hamilton said as he raised his bidding pad.He immediately put his hand

Everyone wanted to find out what gave Roman the audacity to announce such a high bid. Hamilton sat back and gave up.“Five hundred million, going once. Going twice!” The auctioneer paused for a few seconds, then said, “Sold to Mr Roman. Congratulations, the ring is yours.”Suddenly, Hamilton smirked. He realised that he hadn’t lost. Roman fell for his trick. He almost let his pride make him forget his initial reason for raising the bid. He wanted to trap Roman into bidding more than he could handle, so Roman could get in trouble with the owner of the auction house. This was a win-win situation for him. He just had to stand back, and watch Roman face the consequences.“I can’t believe he made such a high bid.” Haylee said to herself with a frustrated sigh.But Hamilton heard her because they were seated so close together.

Whatever I did to offend you, please have mercy, sir.” Hamilton immediately dropped to his knees to beg.“You don’t even have an idea what you’re apologising for.” Kade said with a disgusted expression on his face as he stared down at Hamilton like he was an insignificant bug.“I must have spoken out of turn. Or maybe it’s something else. Whatever I did, sir, please forgive me. Spare my family. Please.”Kade just scoffed, and turned away to give the guards new orders.“Take him out of here. If he resists, then drag him out.

It felt like she was losing something valuable, but she refused to back down. She believed that she was doing what was best for her, so there was no need to feel guilty.Roman walked away and put his hands in his pocket. That was when he felt the black card and the ring that were given to him by the blonde woman he spoke to earlier. He put the ring on his finger and decided to visit the bank like she said. Even if the woman was lying about his true identity, he wanted to confirm for himself. After all, he no longer had anything to lose.He had just gotten to the bank after several minutes and was about to climb up the stairs when he heard a familiar voice behind him.“What is a beggar like you doing in such a prestigious place?”He turned and saw his mother-in-law, Fiona, standing beside his sister-in-law, Mar
