The middle-aged man frowned at Dave, nodding in agreement with his mistress’s words.

Seeing Dave as a commoner, he shot him a disdainful look.

Meanwhile, Dave smirked in response to the woman's remark.

"Look, woman, you have no right to criticize or mock anyone. After all, you are not from a high-class family.

You're just some shameless mistress who depends on her sugar daddy for money."

Dave's words infuriated the young woman.

She completely lost her temper and turned to her lover.

"Are you going to let him talk to me like that? Teach him a lesson!"

The middle-aged man, eager to prove that he was man enough, snapped at the saleswoman, "Get this riff-raff out of here. He's ruining my shopping experience!"

The saleswoman hesitated, unsure of what to do.

Should she really ask an innocent customer to leave for no reason?

However, before she could make a decision, the store manager arrived on the scene.

The manager, a well-dressed man with greying hair, immedi

    The guards seized the manager, ignoring his protests and cries for mercy. His desperate pleas fell on deaf ears as they dragged him toward the exit. Once so confident in his authority, the manager was now a crumbling wreck, thrown onto the street outside. Meanwhile, the middle-aged man who had confronted Dave earlier stood pale and trembling as he recognized Carl Mullen, a figure he'd only seen on local TV and heard about in business circles. His knees nearly buckled at the realization of whom he had just crossed paths with. However, his mistress who was beside him, emboldened by her earlier defiance, opened her mouth to speak, but before she could utter a word, a sharp slap from the middle-aged man silenced her. The slap echoed through the store, stunning everyone. "Keep shut?!" The man yelled at her. Tears welled up in the woman's eyes and she was too shocked to respond. She had planned to challenge Carl, insisting she was a more important customer and demanding that

    After instructing Carl to deliver the gift to the Dexters' mansion, Dave's thoughts shifted to more pressing matters. He needed to visit the local branch of the Great Empire - Velcro Group. Earlier, he had received a text from the secretary of Velcro Group, one of his subordinates. The message informed him that a shipment of precious herbs and crystals had arrived—resources vital for training novice warriors and regarded as strategic assets. Without Dave's signature for distribution, approval, and allocation, the department responsible couldn't proceed. Knowing he had to act quickly, Dave put aside his recent arrival in the area and his new marriage. Responsibilities awaited him. There was no time to waste. He quickly hailed a cab and instructed the driver to head to Velcro Group, his mind already racing through the tasks ahead. Meanwhile, at the Dexters' mansion, the atmosphere was abuzz with excitement. Ava had invited Jerry and Hannah over to discuss the upcoming c

    As the evening wore on, the three friends shared a celebratory dinner, toasting to the upcoming charity event and the opportunities it promised. Ava couldn’t help but dream about what membership in the Kevton Chamber of Commerce would mean. She envisioned new business deals, expanded networks, and a strengthened position for her family’s enterprise. The future seemed brighter than ever! After dinner, the sound of a car arriving drew their attention. Dave had returned after completing his tasks at Velcro Group. As he walked into the mansion, Jerry and Hannah noticing him, eyed him with disdain. Hannah broke the silence, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Well, look who decided to show up. Just in time for dinner, as usual. How convenient!" Dave however ignored her, maintaining his composure. “The freeloader is nothing compared to Jerry, who not only got Ava a beautiful jewellery gift but also helped her secure an invitation to the charity gala," Hannah continued,

    Gordon’s voice was filled with regret and concern. He had heard that Ava had rejected Dave as her husband and always disagreed with him. Gordon apologized for Ava’s behaviour and suggested sending a car to bring Dave over, hoping to see Ava apologize to him in person. However, Dave quickly replied, "There’s no need to send a car, Pa Gordon. I’ll come on my own." When Dave finally arrived at the Dexters' mansion, he was greeted by Ava at the door. She appeared nervous and hesitant, clearly instructed by her grandfather to meet Dave upon his arrival and make amends. Her pale face reflected the scolding she had just received from him for her hasty decisions and mistreatment of Dave. However, despite her annoyance, there was a flicker of concern in her eyes when she saw Dave approaching. She felt guilty for how she had treated him, yet her pride wouldn’t allow her to fully soften. Despite her annoyance, a flicker of concern appeared in her eyes as she saw Dave approac

    "I'm sure you've never had a chance to handle even 2% of that all your life, so it should be more than enough for you to start fresh somewhere else, far away from me!” Ava added. Dave looked at her with a hint of amusement in his eyes. “$200,000?” he echoed, his voice calm but with a slight edge. “Why do you think so little of our marriage, Ava? Is that all it’s worth to you?” Ava’s expression hardened. She had expected him to accept the offer without question—perhaps even be grateful! But his response only angered her. “This marriage,” she spat, “is shit. It doesn’t even exist in my eyes." "How can I call this a marriage when I’m stuck with a pauper?" "You’re not my husband, Dave. You’re just someone I was forced to marry!” Her words were harsh, cutting through the air like a knife. But Dave remained unfazed. He had heard worse before and had grown a thick skin already. So instead of retaliating, he shrugged. “If that’s how you feel,” he said with a smirk

    “It might be best if you move in with Ava. You’re her husband, after all, and it’s time the two of you start living together properly,” Gordon continued. Hearing this, Greg and Joyce exchanged surprised glances. The idea of Dave moving in with Ava was unthinkable to them, and they couldn’t mask their apprehension. Greg clenched his fists, sharing Joyce's fear that Dave might actually agree to Gordon’s suggestion. Dave simply shook his head. “I appreciate your concern, sir,” he replied Gordon. "But, Ava and I married quickly, and we're still adjusting to each other. I think it's best not to rush into living together just yet." "With time, as our relationship grows stronger, we can revisit the idea." "In the meantime, I'll focus on working hard to provide Ava with the perfect home she deserves." Dave's response was measured and reasonable, surprising everyone. “I see,” Gordon replied, showing understanding. “That’s a wise approach, Dave. I respect your decision.”

    Dave watched Ava with his lips curling into a faint smile. Although he knew the invitation cards weren't sent by Jerry, he chose not to reveal the truth. After all, Ava would eventually discover it on her own. Gordon leaned in to examine the invitation, his face brightening with approval. “Excellent work, Ava. This is exactly the kind of progress I was hoping for. Keep it up, and you’ll make us all proud.” Ava beamed with smiles at her grandfather’s praise. Almost immediately, Gordon glanced at Dave. For a moment, she felt a surge of triumph, as if everything was falling into place just as she had planned. “Dave, I think it would be a good idea if you became Ava’s assistant. You could help her with her work, reduce her stress, and the two of you would have more opportunities to spend time together and understand each other better.” The suggestion hit Ava like a ton of bricks! The thought of Dave following her around all day, pretending to be her assistant, was unbea

    Dave watched her with an amused expression, his lips curling into a faint smile. He knew the truth behind that invitation, but he kept his silence. After all, they would find out the truth later. Gordon leaned in to examine the invitation, his face lighting up with approval. “Excellent work, Ava. This is exactly the kind of progress I was hoping for. I'm so proud of you. Keep it up." Ava beamed with smiles. For a moment, she felt a surge of triumph, as if everything was falling into place just as she had planned. But then Gordon turned to look at Dave. “Dave, I think it would be a good idea if you became Ava’s assistant. "In addition to helping her with her work and reducing her stress, the two of you would have more opportunities to spend time together and better understand each other. The suggestion hit Ava like a ton of bricks! The thought of Dave following her around all day, acting as her assistant, was unbearable! She could barely tolerate his presence f

    Dave stood there with his fists clenched and his patience finally at its breaking point.He had tolerated enough of Jerry’s arrogance, his lies, his constant need to take credit for things he had nothing to do with.But this time?This time, he wasn’t letting it slide.He took a step forward, his voice cutting through the air with a sharpness that made everyone stop."Jerry," Dave said coldly, "since you enjoy taking credit for things you haven’t done, let’s talk about reality, shall we?"Jerry smirked, completely unbothered. "What are you going on about, Dave? I helped Ava, simple as that."Dave’s eyes darkened."Your father," he began, "is nothing but one of the low-status staff in Hendrix Group—one of the companies under the Great Kevton Chamber of Commerce."The smirk on Jerry’s face faltered.Dave continued. "He’s been hanging by a thread there for months, hasn’t he? The company is downsizing, cutting off unneeded employees. And what did you and your father do?" He chuckled dar

    Within an hour, Ava was back in the city. The anxiety she had felt on the way had not lessened—if anything, it had intensified. She clutched the paper with the address Dave had given her as the cab sped through the city streets. When the driver finally pulled up in front of the destination, Ava’s breath caught in her throat. Before her stood an exotic mansion—a structure so breathtaking, she had to glance at the paper in her hands again, making sure she had the right address. Dave is here? Ava stepped out of the cab, her heels clicking against the pristine pavement as she approached the grand entrance. Her mind whirled with questions. Who owned this majestic place? How did Dave—the same man who had been captured by Jacob Dale’s men—end up here? Nothing was making sense. The moment Ava stepped inside, she felt as though she had entered a dream. The interior was beyond luxurious, with elegant chandeliers casting a soft golden glow over the grand hallway. The sc

    Dave moved with the same calm precision of a man who knew exactly what he was doing. His fingers danced over the screen, making a few swift calls.Then, he set the phone down and folded his arms. “I told you, Jacob. I could make you… or break you.”Jacob scoffed, leaning back in his chair. “You’re an idiot and you can do nothing!"Just as he was about to order his men to beat Dave senseless, his phone began to buzz violently on the desk.Jacob frowned, eyeing the screen. His personal assistant’s name flashed across it.With a sneer, Jacob picked up the call. “Make it quick. I’m about to end someone’s life.”The voice on the other end sounded panicked.“Sir… it’s over. We’re finished!”Jacob’s face darkened. “What the hell are you talking about?”“Sir, our company… it’s bankrupt! All our major investors have withdrawn their funds! There’s nothing left! If we don’t act immediately, the company will be a complete write-off!”Jacob froze.His company? Bankrupt? Impossible!A sharp, sic

    News of Dave’s capture spread quickly through the Dexter household like a wildfire.Ava’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dexter, sat in their lavish living room, exchanging concerned glances. The air was thick with tension. The revelation that Jacob Dale’s men had promised to return for Ava had struck a deep nerve.Mr. Dexter folded his arms, pacing. “This is bad. This is very bad.”Mrs. Dexter placed a trembling hand over her chest. “Ava, you need to leave town immediately. If they’re coming for you next, we can’t take any chances.”Ava sat in silence while her mind was in turmoil Run away? Leave Dave behind?Mr. Dexter nodded in agreement. “Not only you, Ava. We’ll relocate the entire family—for now, at least. If Jacob Dale wants revenge, he won’t just come for you. He’ll come for us all.”Ava’s mother sighed dramatically before adding, “And honestly, dear, maybe this is a sign.”Ava furrowed her brows. “A sign?”Her mother leaned forward. “A sign that you need to let go of Dave.

    The sun was bright over Nexroh, casting a golden hue over the sprawling estate of the Dexter family. Ava stood in the garden, inhaling the scent of freshly bloomed roses, but her mind was restless. The events of the previous night still lingered.Dave, however, was moving on as if nothing had happened. He had briefly visited the mansion and was about to leave, when he suddenly noticed a sleek, black Rolls-Royce Phantom glide into the compound.Its polished surface reflected the sunlight.The Dexter estate security guards, who normally would have stopped an unknown vehicle, took one look at the license plate and backed away immediately. Whoever was inside had power!As the vehicle came to a silent halt, four tall, broad-shouldered men stepped out. Dressed impeccably in black suits, their faces were expressionless with their eyes hidden behind dark sunglasses. Their aura screamed authority, control, and danger!The leader, a man with slicked-back hair and a sharp jawline, surveyed t

    The next day, the Dexter family mansion was lively with celebration. The family had gathered to honor Ava's recent membership in the Kevton Chamber of Commerce.A grand feast had been laid out in the massive dining hall, where the Dexters, their friends, and esteemed guests laughed and chatted over plates of exquisite cuisine. Dave was present as well, sitting beside Ava, though most of the Dexter family still viewed him with skepticism.Suddenly, gunshot rang out like a thunderclap, shattering the lively atmosphere.Then another.Then several more!A cold silence fell over the room, quickly replaced by rising panic. Some guests jumped from their seats in alarm, while others froze in terror with their faces pale.“What the hell is happening?!” one of the guests shouted.Before anyone could react, the grand doors burst open with a deafening crash, revealing a group of armed men. Their faces were hard and their gazes were deadly.At the center of them stood a man almost everyone in N

    The few remaining patrons sat frozen in stunned silence, unwilling to move until the danger had completely passed.Just before leaving, one of Scarface’s lead bodyguards turned back and shot a dark glare at Dave. His face was pale and his hands trembled slightly, but he still forced himself to speak.“You have no idea what you’ve done, bastard,” the bodyguard warned in a grave voice. “Scarface’s father won’t let you off the hook. You’ve signed your own death warrant!”Dave didn’t even bother to lift his head. Instead, he casually leaned back in his seat, still twirling a fork in his fingers."If I count to three and you’re still standing here, you’ll never leave by the time I’m done with you."The room grew colder, and an icy silence settled over everyone.The bodyguard hesitated, his bravado cracking under the sheer indifference in Dave’s gaze. He swallowed hard and his legs were stiff, but when Dave calmly said "One."—he panicked and shut his mouth. Without another word, he spun
