Two days later, Tina sat in her office, her gaze drifting out the window, her pen twirling absently through her fingers as she lost herself in thought."If only Dad hadn't gone on that month-long business trip, he would have at least understood and respected my decision not to marry Boris. But Mom doesn't care about my choice at all," she brooded.Just as her mind continued to swirl with lingering thoughts, her phone shrilled—it was a call from her mother.“Hello mom,” she greeted dejectedly.“Come to Aurora Diamond Store now!” Mrs Doe instructed quickly at the other end of the call before hanging up abruptly.Tina pondered why her mother wanted her at Aurora Diamond— one of the biggest jewelry store in the city. The store was known for its first class and expensive jewelries, one needed nothing less than six figures to buy at least a silver ware from the store.Wasting no time, she hurried to the store. Upon arrival, she saw her mother standing in front of the store, frowning like s
“Mom!” Tina called, signaling her mother to see what the persons at the other end of the street were holding in their hands. “I think we should go closer and have a good look”They quickly crossed the road to where the Protestants were standing. As they were close enough they could hear them screaming all sorts of things about the store.“If you can’t give us the jewelry we paid for, refund our money. You thieves!” One of the voice yelled in frustration.“You can call more thugs to beat us up but we won’t we stop till you pay us back our money, all of it!”“You can’t just shut us up after taking our money. We want our money back, you scam!” Another yelled.The more Tina and her mom drew closer, the more frustrating screams they heard and the more puzzled they got. None of the voices said anything positive about the store. “Excuse me Mrs, if I may ask, what’s with the uproar against Aurora Diamonds?” Tina asked intriguingly.“Aurora Diamonds, those scoundrels!” one of the woman curs
The phone barely rang for a few seconds before the person at the other end answered. “Hello, future mother-in-law,” the voice at the other end of the call greeted with reverence. Who else could it be but Boris, the Harrington heir. Tina frowned at the sound of his voice; everything about him made her blood boil. If she could be this annoyed hearing his voice, she might even kill herself if they were to live together as husband and wife.“Boris, I need your help,” Mrs Doe requested quickly. “Help? Mention it mother-in-law and consider it done. Even if you want a star in the universe, I’ll take a rocket right now and pluck it for you,” he said firmly, his voice full of pride.“I have a problem at Aurora Diamonds, could you come over?” she requested slowly, lowering her voice to sympathy.“At Aurora Diamonds? If you want all the Jewelries in the store, shop all of it and wait for me with the bills,” he said boastfully.“No Boris, it’s something else. I’m with Tina right now and we real
Boris led the way and the group followed from behind across the street to the store, confidence surging in all of them. Boris walked straight up to the two security guards standing at the store’s entrance.“Hey you!” He called gesturing at the guards. “I want to see who is in charge, right now!” he instructed with a frown.The security men gestured at him and the group behind him puzzled. “Who are you? And why do you bring this mob with you looking for who is in charge?” One of the security men asked.Without hesitation, Boris walked up to him and slapped him across the face. “How dare you talk back at me? Go in and bring whoever is in charge, right now! If you demand on knowing who I’m it may be the last thing your ears will have to hear,” he spat coldly, his eyes a mixture of intimidation and threats.Of course the security guard was scared to the core; any one bold enough to slap and threaten him in front of the store must be extremely powerful, even more than the store owner. In f
“What the… You broke my phone…” The manager exclaimed stunned. But he was met with another thundersome slap. His chin had never been put to so much pain like it was on that day. Four powerful slaps across the face within the space of few minutes!“You should be thankful I broke just your phone. Another word from you and I might even break that jaw of yours,” Boris spat remorselessly.The manager was stunned by Boris arrogance, his eyes were a mixture of confusion and fear. He barely knew anyone in the city who would raise their voice at his boss, Boris did not only cursed him, he threatened to wreck down his store as well.“Wow ma’am!” one of the ladies exclaimed. “I must admit, your son-in-law is indeed a powerful mogul. I’ve never seen the store manager look so terrified. He is the one always making the threats, now look at his he looks like he could pissed in himself anytime soon.” The woman disclosed.A smug smile flooded Mrs Doe’s face, a sudden surge of pride overwhelmed her. Sh
“What nonsense! Why would he mention you to me. You’re just insignificant,” Boris said quickly, his confidence fading.Don Maxino frowned the more, his eyes glowing with rage. “Why would he not mention me to you, after all he had done to me. That bastard for a father of yours,” he spat in fury.“Will you let go of my collar already, you’re not significant enough for my father to mention you. What makes you think he’ll remember a lowlife like you?” Boris said rudely, but his voice trembling.Don Maxino slapped Boris so hard across the face that he might need a dentist sooner or later. "Why would your father forget me when I'm the reason he's so rich now? Or is he too ashamed to mention me to you?"All of a sudden, Boris face was covered with cold sweat. He thought Don Maxino would be cowering in fear after discovering he was Harrington’s son but it turned out he was even getting into much trouble after all.“I can see that coward for a father of yours did not teach you any manners nor
Boris was almost living his skin; he was overwhelmed with fear and he panicked terribly. He could see the man’s murderous determination through his enraged eyes.“You should let me go, my dad will not spare you if he learns about this,” Boris managed to force the words out of his mouth, his tone trembling.“Your dad?” Don Maxino sneered. “I bet your dad will be dead scare to come save you from me. Because he knows I’ll kill him on sight, he wouldn’t dare come before me,” Don Maxino disclosed with a frown. "Lies! My dad will come as soon as he hears I'm in trouble, and you'll face his wrath when he gets here," Boris said confidently, though his body still trembled."Alright then, why don't we test that? Call him and tell him I'm about to kill you. Let's see if he dares to save you from me, though I doubt he will. But if he does, I'll have my full revenge by killing both of you," Don Maxino said coldly.He then shoved Boris backward with such force that he landed on his buttocks. "You
“Oh look Mrs Doe, your son-in-law has already peed in his pants— he promise to help us get back our money but it seems he is the one that needs the help now. Poor fellow, he shouldn’t have messed with Don Maxino if he knew he wasn’t so Influential. Oh my, we shouldn’t have put our faith in him, I thought he was someone from a very influential family. It turned out he is just another average kid with some dirty guts,” one of the protestants said in a low tone, her voice tinged with disdain.“Oh my gosh, I can’t believe he was bluffing all this while, what kind of a man piss on himself after speaking with so much authority. Don Maxino will show him no mercy, he even had the balls to slap him on his face,” another chimed in.Mrs Doe was ashamed, she thought Boris would have the store owner return all the protestants money and they will sing her praises for having such a powerful family. But right at the moment her reputation was a stepping mat in front of the protestants.“You people mis
