Ron had never met Bella’s distant family before. He didn’t even know that Sai had other family members aside from Bella and Sena. He had thought that it was just the three of them and their deceased parents. Sena quickly scrambled out to the kitchen before Bella would catch her and ruin her and Dahlia’s plans the following day. “Damn, Bella would kill me if I don’t get this done,” Ron muttered to himself, quickly adding the finishing touches to dinner. It took about half an hour before Ron finished in the kitchen and stepped outside with an apron around his neck to greet his guests. A young man with short wavy red hair and a brunette sat in their living room. Their gestures screamed elegance and Ron immediately tried to read them. “You must be Ron,” the man said in a tone that didn’t sound friendly. Ron sat at Bella’s side, elbows on his knees as spared them both a welcoming smile. They weren't very nice to look at, especially the man. His eyes were dull and cold and he sat
Jonas looked between the three of them. He rubbed his sweaty palms on his thighs, realising that the customers in the bar were already focused on the scene. He didn’t realise they had piqued so much interest. People mumbled behind his back, though he couldn’t make out what they were saying. He knew that his reputation as a mogul was about to be destroyed right here. Why hadn’t he just gone on his way after they jammed at the door? He could have waited to plot with the gangster again and take Ron down for certain. “There’s no need to be like that, Ron,” Jonas let out a nervous laugh. Ron smiled coldly. “You know, I wonder who looks like the beggar right now. If you claim to have so much money, then doing that shouldn’t be a problem for you.” He could have overlooked it for anyone else, but Jonas knew that would never be the case now. His fists clenched at his side as he glowered at Ron. This was payback. He could feel it. “It was just a harmless joke—“ “Mr. Jonas, you are was
The thought consumed Ron and it was only broken by Adina’s orders to Victoria.“Stay back, one fuck-up going to the meet is enough for me. I don't need two.”“There's nowhere to stay and you are with the key to the car,” Victoria protested.“Do I look like I care, because I really don't.” Her stomach crumpled in its own protest. Adina winced harder than before.Ron came closer to her, placing his hand on her shoulder. Adina shrugged it off. “Remove your filthy self from my person.”The automatic doors opened up to her and she walked in leaving Ron behind. Ron turned to an ashen Victoria and gave her a wink. “You'll be fine and I'll kill it, I promise.”Ron met up with Adina before the elavator shut him off. He and her spent seconds in silence.“Who are we meeting today, all you've done is keep me in the dark about the person.” Ron spoke up.“I do not owe you anything, just be on your best behaviour, if at all you have any of that in you,” She snapped back at him.Realising it was a lo

“I'm not sure I'll be able to sustain the company much longer. If I take any longer to find an investor, I will lose everything! Everything that I've worked so hard to build will go down the drains, washed away forever.” Ron watched as his wife sank down on the ottoman, oblivious to the fact that he was standing right behind her, listening to every word she was saying. He wondered who it was on the other end of the phone though. He could hear the intense worry in her voice, could see her face in profile, the look on her face like she was being dragged down. He disliked that she had to go through all of that with something he could fix in a minute and he was going to fix it for her. Even if he couldn't reveal himself at this moment. He started to walk towards her to comfort her. “I know, I know about the suggestion that I could…get together with a potential partner who would help me with this.” Bella said into the phone, her hand coming up to massage her forehead as she sighed. Ro
Ron scrunched up his eyebrows as he read the message again before he discarded it. He started walking home, humming silently to himself. Today was the birthday party of Bella's grandmother and as such all family members were required to be there. Even if it was just for the amusement of the family. He quickened his footsteps and rushed home. Bella and her sister were already dressed and ready to leave. Bella was dressed in a deep v belted sleeveless dress while Sena was dressed in a shirt dress that looked more like underwear than a dress. “You guys are ready?” He asked in suprise. “Yes. We didn't think you'd be going, it's not as if you bring anything to the table.” Bella replied. Sena stood behind her putting on her Jewellery. “Will you guys wait for me? I just have to take a shower and change.” Ron asked taking off his shoes as he went to the bedroom. “Of course not. The party is supposed to start in an hour. We don't want to be late you know.” Bella replied and started t
Kate rushed over to us with a box of tissues and starts dabbing on Victoria's clothes “You are going to pay for this you half witted fool.” Adina screamed. Other patrons in the restaurant had started casting curious looks at us, as they probably wanted to know what was going on. Ron stood by the side with a satisfied smirk on his face as he watched the spectacle unfold. Kate dabbed gently at skirt before Adina snapped at her. “You're smearing it all over me, you idiot. Ugh, give me that.” She snapped and snatched up the tissues from Kate. “I'm so sorry ma. Let me help with your skirt.” Kate apologized and grabbed some tissues from the box. “I told you to stop touching me , you're making it so much worse. Where did you even come from?” Adina screeched and shoved Kate away. Kate stumbled back. Adina grabbed another tissue and made a show about wiping her large breasts. “How much does it cost?” Ron asked Victoria, folding his arms together. “You might have to take out loans jus
