“Guys, please wait. I will do the transfer now.” Tobin said. He was shocked to see how they all were desperate for him to buy the stupid necklace!The lady tries his card again, “same thing, sir.” Dustin smirked. “Maybe he doesn't have the money to do so, don't you think Alara?”“Yes it's true. No need to hide it anymore, Tobin.” Alara said.His brows squeezed together in anger. Then he turned to see Laura glaring at him. “This must be a mistake, my love. Oh look, a message from my bank!” He lied.“What does it says?” Laura asked him.“Its a message. They're undergoing a system upgrade. I knew it! I'm going to sue this bank, I swear it!” Tobin continued to lie.Dustin just watched and smiled. Later, he said to the lady confidently. “Don't worry, lady. You'll still get your money. I want to buy the necklace.” Deep down, Laura was curious. Her mother sneered and Tony laughed out loud.“You poor thing! Ha!” Exclaimed Tony. Tobin waited too. Could he actually have that much money??Dus
Dustin and Alara walked in looking stunning. When Dustin saw Alara, he nearly dropped his tongue.She wore a knee length red dress that left her fair skin exposed. Her hair was made into an updo style, and little makeup was applied to enhance her look.They walked into the entrance together, taking the crowds attention. “Wow. This is your ex husband, Dustin!” Tony exclaimed. Even Laura was stunned to see Alara looking so pretty, and Dustin so elegant and matured. She was older than Dustin just over a few months, and teased him she was his older sister.Now, Dustin looked so handsome and bold. He had changed!“Who let you guys in, huh!” Tobin rushed to meet them.“Nice to see you too. Congratulations on your wedding.” Dustin said.“Engagement.” Laura corrected. She saw the necklace on Alara neck flashed brilliantly.“You came too. You seem to be all over Dustin lately.” Laura said with detest.“What can I say, I love attractive men.” Alara chuckled.Dustin knew she was just acting, b
“Can you see the headline news?” said someone. She worked at Laura's company.Her friend giggled. “The so called Tobin Conrad has been kicked out of the Matyrs Company!”People began to talk about the news.Laura had to read it over and over again. “Tobin, is this true!? Is it!!” She yelled out to him.Tobin felt like crying but he kept his cool again. Tony was there and his mother too.“That news is fake. It's not true! And even if it is, I– I still have money!” He said.“Huh? You have nothing, Tobin! How can you help me when you couldn't even help yourself! You promised me you would get my proposal to the CEO directly!” She yelled again.“Don't worry, Laura. I will help you. You need to give me a chance baby.” Tobin said pathetically.Next thing he knew, Laura slapped him hard on the face. He was a nobody now so no need to respect him again.“I gave you my body, just for you to disappoint me?? And my family?? Get out Tobin. And you still owe me. Don't forget!” she said and walked aw
Right at that instant, Dustin felt he would collapse. The news said there was no survivor in the plane. It was too devastating for him to watch.Alara called him immediately she saw the news but he would not pick. So she rushed over to his house as fast as she could.He was even too stunned to speak by the time Alara had arrived.“Sir, are you alright? You need to say something.” She said shaking him for any form of emotion. He said nothing and just stared in shock. They went to the scene and the police were already there, finding out their evidence. A tall man walked up to meet them. “Alara, hi.”“Sir, this is Mathew. He will be leading this case. I've asked for full investigation on the cause of the plane crash.” Alara said.“Come. Let's talk somewhere private where there aren't any eyes on us.” Mathew said.They arrived by a beach soon enough, where Mathew had said it was a safe area.“Well? What have you found out!” Dustin asked eagerly.“So far, there are a few speculations I'
“What? Are you insane?” Dustin exclaimed. “Where would you have me find such money? I really think you should leave now, Tom.”Tom only continued to laugh. “Why are you so funny, friend!” He wheezed out.“No, you're the one being funny. Where do you expect me to get that amount of money?” Although Dustin was lying! That amount was just like a cent to him.“Wait friend, are you being serious?” How can you say this right to my face? Look at your office! Look at everywhere! You must be a millionaire!” Tom exclaimed.Dustin gave a loud sigh. “I just started working here weeks ago, you know that. I'll just have my first salary!”“But it will be in millions! And even your sweet ex wife told me you must have been saving money before because she didn't believe you had this much money!” Tom said.This made Dustin frown. “You spoke to Laura? I didn't know you guys were friends.” “Oh we're not really friends…that's not the point!” He quickly hid the fact that he had been blushing secretly. Dust
Everyone turned and saw a well built man with long hair falling loose on his shoulders. He looked at least in his early fifties. The man sighted Ezra and bowed slightly. “Master Ezra, I didn't know you were here.”“Sir, I'm sorry, but this man won't pay up–” Freddy quickly said, not to offend his boss, but Ezra walked past him towards the middle aged man.“Sir, I didn't know he was your guest. I wonder what you see in him.” Ezra said, then next thing Dustin knew, he was smiling.“We were just talking nicely together. No one was fighting at all.” Ezra said.Dustin kept quiet, watching the drama before him. Why was that Ezra guy suddenly acting to be nice?“Oh is that so, master Ezra? Well, I'd like to attend to my guests now.” He said, then frowned at Freddy. “Get back to work now!” “Well I'll leave you two now.” Said Ezra to the middle-aged man. Then he whispered to Dustin who was still seated, enjoying his drink. “Hey you, this isn't over yet. Watch your back!” And with that, he l
Dustin was disgusted by her act. Just when did she break up with her dearest Tobin? Now she was seeing another man again?!“Stalking you? You should stop saying that, Laura.” Dustin frowned at her.“My love, you know this piece of trash?” asked Ezra.Laura didn't want to tell him that she used to he his wife! “What? Oh yes I know him. He used to be my driver and house help one time of his life.” Laura said. Dustin was about to talk when he saw her blink fast, using her eyes to beg him not to say the truth.“Whatever. Let's go, Alara.” Dustin said.“Yes sir.” Replied Alara.“Are you lying to me, love? Where do you know this guy from?” Ezra asked slowly in a creepy scary voice.“I–I don't know him! But I know the lady!” Laura said carefully. “She is Alara, the vice president of Matyrs motors. I needed her help for the growth of my company then, but I met you already.” “Typical Laura,” Dustin muttered. “Always looking for a richer man.”The meeting was held and Ezra would not shut up
Dustin frowned as he looked up to see Ezra. He wanted to get up but the lady pulled him even closer.“Please, don't let go!” She cried out in a choked voice.“He's your brother?” Dustin sighed. “I don't want anything to do with you people.”The lady was about to speak again but suddenly, she vomited blood.“What? No, it must be really high.” Dustin said to himself.In that moment, the sound of the ambulance had arrived. They carried her and quickly took her in.Ezra rushed to meet him. “What are you doing with my sister? Stay the fuck away from her, okay!”“Relax. I wasn't doing anything.” Dustin said.A lady walked towards their midst. She was slender and tall, looking just like that lady who had vomited blood!“Big sis? What are you doing here?” Ezra asked.“Hello. Here's my card. I'll need you again, please. My men here told me how you saved my sister's life.” The lady ignored Ezra and said to Dustin. She handed him a card.“I doubt you'll need me again. You're going to the profess
