“Here comes my friend’s jewel. Oh! you look more stunning by the day.” Lord Derik’s face lit up when he saw Natalie enter the room. “I hope my friend hasn’t been much of a disturbance lately,” he teased as they all laughed.It was a small gathering of Lord Wilson and his old friends dining before they attended the main banquet. And Natalie had taken Dario to meet her father just as the latter requested.When Natalie told her father about the incident with the thugs and how Dario saved her, he became very interested in Dario and wanted to meet him. Though Natalie knew well not to go out unprotected, she wanted to experience a sense of freedom and independence, underestimating the potential dangers involved.The private room was tucked away from the main club building behind a set of elegant double doors. The walls of the room were adorned with a deep luxurious color; burgundy, with gilded frames including oil paintings, tapestries and ornate mirrors showcasing exquisite works of art.As

Lord Wilson clinked his glass of champagne with a fork, aiming to grab the attention of the guests as he walked to the stage. Smiling over the crowd, he started, “I welcome all my family and friends, partners and esteemed guests to the banquet tonight. Thank you all for coming to celebrate with me.”“First and foremost, I’d like to express my gratitude to certain individuals by specially recognizing them here.”“Ladies and gentlemen, join me in extending a warm welcome to my best friend, Lord Derik…”“It’s a great pleasure to have the Honorable Henry Thompson, former Secretary of State and the esteemed Senator Margaret Davis. Their presence here tonight is appreciated and their contributions to the nation are truly remarkable…”Lord Wilson went on and on to introduce special guests. “Last but not the least, allow me to introduce to you a very special guest I have here today, who has demonstrated a rare blend of courage and kindness. And I am honored to call him a son…”A very special

“I should bill you for the damage you've caused, but I doubt you have two pennies to rub together, you sorry excuse for a human being!”He hailed insults on and on at Dario. It’s not like Dario didn’t look expensive or didn’t seem like he could afford the shoes, but the man was blinded with rage. “You know what, I’m in a good mood so I’ll let it go. But only if you clean the champagne off my shoes with that tongue of yours.” The guests around watched as the scene unfolded. Is the man really serious?“Look, I’m sorry. I need to leave here right now!” Dario said, looking at his watch. He had already spent almost ten minutes just finding the exit.“You’re not going anywhere until you lick the champagne off my shoes!”Looks like he really meant what he said. This man was asking Dario to kneel and lick champagne off his shoes? What a joke!Dario stood there stunned, this man was starting to get on his nerves and he was not having it anymore.Smirking evilly, he continued “Oh! you can’t do

***The sound of glass and ceramic shattering on the floor reverberated through the room with loud clunks. She stood up, walking on the shattered remnants of what had once been delicate glasswares, spread on the floor.“What do you mean you couldn’t kill him?!” Elizabeth growled. “A task as simple as that was so difficult for you all to carry out?”“Answer me!!!” she screamed, her tone laced with venom.It was the morning after the armed men had attacked Dario in an attempt to kill him. Also, the morning after the banquet. Empress Elizabeth of the Beth empire was having her breakfast when she got the report that the assassins she ordered to kill Dario couldn’t get him killed. The assassins lined up before her were terrified to their bone marrow. Every muscle in their body was tensed as fear coursed through their veins. Elizabeth’s growl was more than enough to make them tremble. Their heads remained bowed as they dared not look her in the eye. “I said..” “Answer me!!” The deep vibra

“My loves, it’s time to discuss our plans for young Dario,” Elizabeth said as her voice dripped with malice.“Yes mother, what do you have in mind?”They were obviously going to kill Maria but Daniel asked anyway.Elizabeth leaned back in her chair, a hint of mystery in her eyes, “You know what I’m thinking. But we must be careful in our approach. We can’t leave any trace that will lead back to us.”“I suggest we kill her slowly. I’ve got a plan and he won’t see it coming.” Daniel said.Daniel briefed his mother and sister about his plan all morning and they all resorted to a common ground after much contemplation.Their plan was perfect now.“After we clear the mother, what’s next?” Charlotte asked. “We should come up with the next plan as soon as possible.”A wicked smile played on Elizabeth’s lips. She took her time to savor how much she was proud of her daughter. ‘This is truly my daughter’“My dear Charlotte, we have only just begun. There are countless ways to torment him, to ch

Dario woke up the next morning feeling really good. He had decided to take the whole day off yesterday to rest and strategize after how stressful and eventful the previous day; the day of the banquet, was. Rumors about the banquet spread like wildfire throughout the city, inflicting a profound sense of humiliation on Cooper and Delilah. The juicy gossip and speculations casted a dark shadow over their reputations, tarnishing their standing in the city. Everyone laughed at them for being thrown out of Cellar, people also decided to come up with their own different versions of what happened and spread it around the whole city.The humiliation they faced, and was still facing at the moment intensified their resentment for Dario and both families promised to make him pay dearly for this.When Dario rushed to the hospital with his heart almost racing out of his chest the other night, he was met with good news at the hospital. Dr Mane had informed him that Maria was now conscious and could

Dario rolled his eyes when he realized It was none other than Amelia, Delilah’s cousin. Brian and Amelia were shocked to see Dario at the mall. What could he be doing anywhere within Galleria district? It wasn’t meant for people like him.Amelia's expression shifted from shock to disgust the moment she laid eyes on Dario. Her fiancé had spared no expense to shower her with luxurious gifts in the city's most prestigious shopping mall, only for her to unexpectedly encounter the last person she had anticipated seeing.Brian on the other hand was fuming with anger at the sight of Dario. He remembered how much humiliation he faced because of Dario at Sesame hotel. Dario had completely ruined the high esteemed image he had as the manager of the hotel. Since that night, he hated Dario’s guts and promised himself to cause him as much humiliation and more. Brian recalled how Dario made him remain on his knees in the middle of the hotel lobby that same fateful evening until he was back from the

Dario expected to have his card handed back to him and a “Thank you for your patronage.”, indicating that the transaction was successful but instead, it was the complete opposite. This only meant one thing; Dario’s card was declined.Brian and Amelia immediately burst into laughter. And so did the other customers. They were right. This purported pauper couldn’t afford the outfits. He had successfully wasted their time. They were right all along.What were they even thinking when they gave him the benefit of doubt for a moment?Amelia crossed her arms in front of her chest with her head held up high, feeling very proud of herself. The shrill voices of the other customers started to resonate across the mall.“That guy is so shameless. I mean, it’s okay to be poor, why did he bother when he couldn’t afford it?”“You’re right, didn’t he look at himself in the mirror before deciding to come to a place as prestigious as this?”“Well, there are so many of his kind nowadays. They think it’s

Elizabeth’s anger boiled as she approached Dario too with calculated steps. Watching her soldiers fall one by one, crushed by the Persian Empire’s forces twisted her guts and she couldn’t stop thinking about it as she stared at Dario. ‘I’m going to kill you today!’ she thought to herself with fierce determination. She had made up her mind as her helicopter descended that either her or Dario would die today. And she was certain that she was not going to be the one.Dario on the other hand wondered who Elizabeth thought she was to land uninvited in his empire. The audacity was as outrageous as it was infuriating.‘Unwise audacity has always been her thing. When I’m done with her, she would wish she didn’t make this choice,’ Dario said to himself. Their gaze remained fixed on each other and time seemed slow. Suddenly, Elizabeth reached out to her gun and started shooting at Dario. The gunshots rang out across the premises, echoing in the ears of everyone around. But as the bullets s

At the eastern border of the empire, the loud sounds from gunshots and clash of swords and shields filled the air.

Elizabeth and her ally kingdoms had decided to rain an apocalyptic attack on Persian and had been planning this very attack for months. But unfortunately for Elizabeth, her trusted ally kingdoms opted out and failed her on the supposed day of the attack; today. They recognized Dario’s strength and power and knew that they wouldn’t dare!But despite being betrayed by her allies, Elizabeth was adamant on going on with the attack with her own men.

Dario let his gaze wander around the throne room, taking in the majesty that surrounded him. Every single thing around was a testament to his journey.He closed his eyes and leaned back against the throne, allowing his mind to drift and be filled with the memories of his past. The thoughts of days when he had nothing, when survival was a daily struggle, and he and Maria had to scavenge abandoned leftovers on the street. Those days, when they returned to their home on the street after going out to scavenge for food, Maria would ask, “what did you find?”And Dario would also ask, “Were you able to get plenty?”The bitter cold nights coupled with the gnawing hunger and the hopelessness that often threatened to consume him. But he also remembered the moment things got a little bit better; when Sir Davis miraculously came around. It was still hard but it got better. Life was humiliating and filled with insults until everything suddenly turned around for good. From a ‘nobody’ one night,

SEVEN MONTHS LATER…The air of the mansion was thick with the scent of power and influence as the President and his associates discussed with Dario in the throne room.“Mr Dario,” the president continued, “again, thank you for seeing us on such short notice.” Dario returned a smile as bright as the President’s, nodding and said, “It’s always a pleasure, Mr President. Please, to what do I owe this pleasure?”The president glanced at his associates with relief evident on his face and answered, “I will just cut to the chase. We’re here today because over the past months, it has become clear what the people have chosen.”Dario took a second to try to understand what exactly the president meant and was driving at. “What the people have chosen?” he asked. “Yes, Mr Dario. And by this, I mean the people in the entire country.”“Okay,” Dario answered, dragging his word and waiting for the president to continue talking.“The truth is that, I have always admired you since the presidential cont

Blake’s mouth went dry instantly as his eyes shot at Dario. He could hear his heart pounding so hard in his ears. “Y… your… your Ma-“ With Dario’s eyes still locked with Blake’s, he added, “Thank you for everything. You know what I mean by everything.” After his statement, he smiled and chuckled at Blake. “You… your majesty,” he stammered and swiftly cleaned the sweat on his forehead with his sweaty palms. “I- I don’t know what you’re talking about, Your Majesty,” he lied, his voice shaking. “Oh, really?” Dario asked, his brows slightly stretched upward. He then looked down and said, “Oh, Blake-“ The next second, Dario raised his head and glared intensely at Blake. His face was now tense and focused, conveying anger and intense annoyance. “There is no need to lie. And trust me, I’m not going to accommodate your lies one more time,” he added, his jaw clenched tight, making the muscles of his face look more pronounced. “You!” Dario shouted and placed the tip of his pocke

The room fell silent as everyone exchanged puzzled glances before slowly disappearing. They knew something was off with Dario’s demeanor.There was a sudden change and they could all feel it. “Ethan! Evan!” Natalie called out to the boys, signaling with her hand for them to come to her. Just like expected, they both ran to her. “Let’s go get ready for dinner, my loves,” she said and led them out of the throne room while Bruce also followed.When everyone left and Dario finally turned back to face Blake, Blake wished the moment of everyone leaving lasted forever. ‘Why does he suddenly want to have a private conversation with me?’ Blake wondered as his stomach churned, but he maintained his smile. Dario took a moment to stare at Blake with a smile still lingering on his face. For some reason, the smile scared Blake the most. “Your Majesty,” Blake said, eager to fill the silence, “I just want to say again how incredible and magnificent you are. The way you-“Abruptly, Dario cut him

Blake left Elizabeth’s living room with a heavy heart and his hand clutched to his crimson red cheek. And at the back of his mind, he knew that the stakes had never been higher. Before he left her house, Elizabeth had given Blake a sound and stern warning. After Elizabeth landed a hot and thunderous slap on Blake’s face, he looked up at her with fear flickering in his eyes as she rained blames on him. He couldn’t believe that after everything, Elizabeth shifted all the blame to him, but what could he do?“You must find a way to eliminate that rat!” she exclaimed, her gaze boring into his.“How?” Blake asked her, his voice a little above a whisper. “Emperor Dario will be on high alert now. Getting close to him or doing anything will be nearly impossible.”“I… don’t… care… how you do it,” she hissed, taking her time to say every word as she stared down at him. “You must find a way. You do whatever it takes, even if you lose your life in the process…”Blake’s eyes widened at Elizabeth

*roar!!*Dario roared loudly, beating his chest with his other hand while King Nathan’s head was raised high with his other hand.He paused and moved the head from his left to the right in an attempt to show everyone what he had done. With his face stern, he roared again, pride evident in his demeanor as he beat his chest continuously.The more he roared, the louder the cheers of his people and supporters.Watching, Natalie couldn’t have been more proud of Dario. Her lips were spread into a very wide smile that her cheeks were starting to hurt. She clapped her hands non stop and screamed happily as her gaze never left Dario. Without even doing so much, Dario achieved victory. The Persians truly aren’t losers. “By the right of conquest,” Dario began, as everyone suspended their cheers to hear what he had to say. He continued, “ALL! that was King Nathan’s now bongs to me!” he declared, his words echoing across the entire area as cheers erupted again. This time, the cheers were eve
