2024-12-06 14:34:09Unknown to Clarissa, the gift she called trash were actually the top notch, best of best, out of this world, items that money could buy.
It's difficult to believe the fact that a billionaire will leave the life of luxury, and then decide to settle in the slums. What kind of a life will that be? But Clyde did it.. he chose this life for a reason. Clyde had gotten a gold card with black diamond engraved on it, this card was only for the wealthiest in the Zizou Empire. This gold card had no spending limits and could contain billions of trium (the currency of the Zizou Empire. One Trium is equivalent to One dollar. In the modern world, Clyde will be one of the richest men there is. Another gift he had prepared was the state of the art smart-wristband, which after facial recognition will allow Clarissa the access to learn about his real identity as the lord of the Zizou Empire's military forces. Clyde's identity was known only to a few. Even in the military, only a handful of military personnel knew about him. However due to Clarissa being used to the wealthy and influential life of the rich, she had always been close to everything she ever wanted; Wealth, power, fame, glory, now throws all these state of the art gifts away without actually knowing what she had done. Her actions were understandable as no woman would want to live a life of misery, but to leave her husband, barely after their wedding is something that can never be reconciled with. Clarissa had seen so much wealth and she couldn't even consider living in this poor state. Due to the fact she believed Clyde was church-rat poor, she felt there was nothing he could offer her.. what can a slum dweller give to a rich lady like me? What can we build with an annual salary of two thousand, six hundred trium (∆2,600)? How foolish her assumptions were, and how even more foolish she will feel when she finally learns the truth. How regretful she would feel when she finds out that Clyde's true net worth was around eight hundred to one trillion trium. ************* As Clarissa sat in the cab which was conveying her back to her family house, she took out her phone and dialed a number. She had plans to call her best friend; Rachael Ventura. “Clarissa honey, how are you doing?” a female voice sounded from the phone. “Rachael, I requested for a divorce from him.” Clarissa said without responding to the greeting of her friend. “Splendid! I always knew you had it in you.. I kept wondering what attracted you to that dead weight.” The female, Rachael spoke in an excited tone as if the divorce was the greatest news she had ever heard in her life. Rachael was a divorcee. She had left her husband after he failed to buy her a BMW X7 and a Louis Vuitton bag. She felt it's best she stays alone rather than being married to a man that couldn't provide all she wanted. “I will be home soon. Can you come over?” Clarissa replied. Although she sounded satisfied, she had a somber expression on her face. She didn't like what she did, but she had no choice as most of her decisions were influenced by her best friend Rachael. “Sure thing darling. I'd be there in a jiffy.. just have to ditch Sam here.” Rachael replied with a giggle. Clarissa knew who Sam was.. he was Rachael's boy toy. “Okay, I will be waiting for you then.” Clarissa then cut the connection. *********** Meanwhile Clyde scanned his facial features and opened the wristband, he received wedding anniversary wishes from the Generals and important members of the Zizou Empire's military forces. Only those who knew about the famous god of war sent their messages.. and also from the Royal family. 'Happy Wedding anniversary young master’ 'Wishing the young lord a happy one year anniversary’ 'I hope you enjoyed your marriage, young master. Happy wedding anniversary’ 'Happy Wedding anniversary my little boy, I can't wait to see the girl that captured the heart of my little Clyde. Love Mother.' 'Happy Wedding anniversary son. Do good to return as soon as possible tomorrow. Your father.' Just as Clyde was reading through the messages, he received a call from his personal assistant. “Good day Sir. How's the wifey doing? Tomorrow's the big day Sir, I have already planned it all. I will be bringing in exotic gifts and the latest cosmetics for our young wife, and also the latest fashion designer would be there to take her measurements for a custom made gown, don't worry though, I have already bought gowns from Hermes, and also from Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci..” the PA kept on rambling the gifts which had been prepared, bought and brought by the Generals and other important members of the Zizou Empire's military forces, friends, and as well as the Royal family. These super expensive gifts were to be presented to Clarissa the next day as the wedding anniversary gifts. Sadly the one in question was already a mile away from Clyde and had unknowingly shoved their goodwill up their asses. Clyde had to rub his forehead repeated to calm the migraine that was beginning to build up. He knew he had to stop them before it blew out of proportion. “Dani.. Clarissa requested for a divorce.” Clyde said in a low voice. There was silence which lasted for about a full minute.. then the PA burst out. “What!? Why!? How!? When!?” “To answer your first question; Yes she did.. Why!? “Because she believes I am a good for nothing who would die a wretched pauper and she did not want to go down that path with me.” “How!? She made a bit of a scene and demanded for a divorce before leaving in a cab, I believe she would be at her home by now. As for when!? Just about an hour ago.” There was pin drop silence. Clyde knew exactly what was going through his assistant's mind. He knew she would be fuming mad. Danielle Fandango had been Clyde's personal assistant and adjutant for a while now and she loved working with him. She couldn't comprehend why Clarissa would leave a wonderful man because of a lack of material things. Heck! Young lord Clyde Darkfang of the Darkfang Royal family was fully loaded with wealth. The materialistic bitch doesn't deserve to be with her young lord. She will definitely give Clarissa a piece of her mind.. more than a piece. “Don't beat yourself up about it young lord. She's not worth your time.” Danielle said in a soothing voice, but her face was covered with a murderous frown. If Clyde was around her at that moment, he would detect a massive amount of killing intent oozing out from his personal assistant. Sigh! “Shall I pass this news to the upper echelons?” She said in the same soothing voice. “Do as you see fit Dani. I wish to be left alone for a while.” Clyde said in a defeated tone laced with pain. He had hoped to have finally found that true love which his mother had always told him about in stories, he just didn't expect his fantasy to be harshly broken to pieces. “Yes Boss.” Danielle said and then cut the connection. She went to work and began to pass on the divorce news to everyone who was in the know.

Later that evening, Clarissa and Clyde were on their way to the government agency for a divorce.Clyde had tried to make her see reasons but Clarissa was adamant and demanded it wholeheartedly.On the way, Clarissa kept on mopping about how Clyde had been unable to give her the kind of life she deserved. Even after a year of marriage she had nothing to show that she was married to a 'Man'. She had talked to Rachael while she was at her home.Rachael had pointed out the fact that ever since she was married, not only had she been left behind by their classmates, but her societal hierarchy had plummeted to rock bottom. She had agreed to it when Rachael had laid out these facts in front of her.“How can you be so useless, and yet you expect me to remain with you!? I'd say 'in your dreams' but then again, I'm not sure if you even have dreams.” Clarissa spoke harshly to Clyde as they both sat in the cab which was conveying them to the agency building.The cab driver had a frown on his face

When Clyde got out of the building, he found Clarissa waiting for a cab. He walked up to her. He sighed in his heart. He could not believe his marriage ended just like that.He understood Clarissa's worries; women liked the typical strong alpha rich men. Men strong enough to shield them from harm, and also rich enough to provide their needs. He was strong no doubt, but he wasn't rich (at least in this fake life of his).This was the reason Clarissa left him. He bore no animosity towards her, despite what the old man inside the courthouse had said.“Clarissa, I wish you the best in life. I hope you find someone who will love you as much as I do, and who will take good care of you. You truly deserve to live a good life.” Clyde said with sincerity.He truly loved Clarissa, if things were in his power, he would have told her about his real identity a long time ago, but sadly he couldn't say anything about it. So right now he was trying to soothe her feelings and show that he understood he

Clyde couldn't believe Clarissa dumped him for an ugly cow. The problem wasn't him not being lovable or caring or not doing his best.. no, the problem was Clarissa had already been cheating on him because she simply was just a materialistic woman who saw nothing but money.Clyde couldn't believe this! He now knew exactly why Clarissa suddenly asked for a divorce; Clarissa was cheating on him, and when Seth couldn't bear to keep it a secret anymore, Clarissa then demanded for a divorce.. it all made sense now!He had been cuckolded without even knowing. When did it start? How long have they been having sex behind his back? Three months? Four months?Anger and hatred welled up in his heart for these two in front of him. Clyde looked at Clarissa's smiling face as she blushed and held Seth's arm as if it was a bag full of trium.. perhaps it was.His mind immediately flashed back once again to what the middle-aged man had said.“I once had a wife who didn't see me as a nice fit for her.

Seth and Clarissa came out of the car, irritated and ready to have a fierce quarrel with the Cybertruck driver.. Seth had a reason for this; he knew that if he pleaded, he might get off with a fine, but he didn't have the funds to pay a heavy amount of such fine.. this was a Cybertruck limo for crying out loud.Unknowingly, the driver of the Cybertruck limo was actually the Personal Assistant and Adjutant of Clyde. Danielle was driving one of the most expensive cars in the world.. what's a Lamborghini Aventador or a BMW X7 compared to a Cybertruck.. and not just any Cybertruck, but a Cybertruck limo.Danielle had come pick up Clyde. She has received a call from the Royal family to bring Clyde back to the palace as the Empress sought to comfort her son. Danielle didn't even glance at Clarissa nor the fuming Seth, rather she went straight to Clyde and performed the courtesy bow.“Young lord, I am glad you seem fine.” she said as soon as she raised her head.“I thought you'd come tomorro

Clyde drove the Lamborghini bull, galloping all the way. He was like a dazzling laser light, attracting attention wherever he went.He had taken the sports car to cruise the highway of Gold City and clear his head. After all he's been through, he didn't want to take any more chances.After a while, Clyde came to a public parking lot. He stepped out of the car. He wanted to scream out his frustration, but he knew it would be impossible to do so. How could he not see that he was being led on? He was being cheated on by the woman he loved most. And for what? Just a few thousand trium? What's a few thousand trium compared to the billions he had?'I have to calm down. First of all, let me park this car someplace safe, I need to trek for a bit and plot out a plan on how deal with Seth and make them regret ever going against him.Clyde rushed back to his car, entered and drove off towards one of the most famous five star hotel in Gold City.[MAJORDOMO FIVE STAR BAL HARBOUR RESORT.

Clyde took a cab to the Omega Lorenzo Royalty company building. He knew what he had to do, but how to do it and get the best result was what he contemplated on.'I think I should call Danielle, she will give me the best idea there is.' he thought as he took out his phone and dialed a number.“Sir, do you need for anything?” Danielle's voice rang forth.“Yes. I want take over the Omega Lorenzo Royalty company. Make it happen. Also replace Seth's father with one of our trusted person.” Clyde spoke in a serious authoritative tone.“Hohohoho!” Danielle chuckled“The young master is out for revenge. I love it. I will get it done in just an hour.” Danielle replied.“Good, I will be waiting for your call in an hour then.” Clyde said and disconnected the call. He then walked over to the cafe nearby for a cup of coffee while he waits for Danielle's call.He was in the cafe when he saw Seth's BMW pull up at the front parking lot. Then he saw Clarissa and Seth holding hands lovingly and walked r

“What young master!?” Seth questioned manager Howard.“How can you call this lowly slum dweller 'young master'? Don't be deceived by this conman. He's nothing but a poor and wretched slum dweller.” Seth's frustration was already piled up.“Are saying I don't know who my Boss is?” Mister Howard questioned with a frown on his face. He was clearly angry at Seth's rambling, but this only excited Clyde more.'The higher they are, the bigger they fall.'Clyde felt someone staring at him, he turned around and saw Clarissa's eyes on him. She had this thoughtful expression on her face as if she was finally comprehending all that was happening.“Your Boss!? What Boss!? Let me elaborate these to you Mister Howard! That man sitting there is the full definition of poverty. If he was rich enough to buy this building, then he won't be living in that shack at the slums!” Seth then turned to Clarissa.“If he was so rich, it won't be easy for me to get under the pant of his wife! He's so poor that hi

BADOOM!It felt as if an atomic had been dropped on Seth. He certainly could not believe what he was hearing; did the slum dweller just told him to clear out his office or else he would call security? No, he must have misheard. There's no way that the low sonofabitch who used to work as cleaner will suddenly become the Boss.'And where the hell is Dad!?' Seth could not help but panic. Just then the door opened and Seth's father stepped in.Mister Mandeep was average in height and bald, he was just a little above fifty but now he looked like he's aged eighty.“Dad! Right on time. This trash here says he now owns the company and he even had the guts to ask me to clear out my office in five minutes else he would call security to throw me out.” Seth laid out his complain but his father didn't even once glance at him. Mister Mandeep's attention was on the plain clothed handsome man who could pass out as any street bum, but he knew better. This man in front of him was Clyde Darkfang, heir t

The helicopter roared above the ground, its blades slicing through the air with a deafening intensity. The sheer force of the rotating blades stirred the earth below, sending plants swaying wildly and loose leaves spiraling into the air. Dust and debris danced in the chaotic wind, creating a haze around the landing zone.One after the other, five military men descended from the aircraft, each gripping tightly onto a thick, sturdy rope. Their movements were swift but precise, their bodies clad in fully knitted tactical gear designed for the mission ahead. The black helmets, bulletproof vests, and camouflage patterns blended seamlessly with the dim light of the forested area.Their boots hit the ground with a muted thud, each man landing in a crouched position, weapons at the ready. The soldiers immediately fanned themselves into formation, their eyes scanning the area with hawk-like vigilance. The tension in the air was palpable as the craft blades above continued their furious rotatio

In her memories_ she could recall how his face fell on her intently, and how all eyes were on them at the gala. His softened gaze broke the walls around her heart and he ushered himself in without permission.She remembered the feel of his lips when she crashed hers on his in front of Clarissa.Her tongue swam through her lips, wetting it. But then_she reminded herself that she was just an ordinary assistant.Instead of dwell in self loathe, her mind tried to figure out a way out of the distress. She thought about a thousand and one thing then suddenly, a very brilliant idea crossed her mind.Still in chains, she counted the numbers of guards at the exits and around. She realizes she won't be able to out do all of them on her own. So she started strategizing how to get out of there.*It was midnight.There night was dark as coal serve for the moon that gave off a little light.Her shut eyes opened up abruptly, woken by her instincts. She realized everyone around her seemed off guarde

The day was hot, the sun shone over the battlefield. Blood stained the ground, smoke curled into the sky, and the scent of death filled the air. But Clyde had no time for the fallen. His heart thundered in his chest as he gripped his sword tighter.Danielle was gone.Again.Clyde inhaled deeply, forcing himself to stay calm. Anger was useful, but only if controlled. His vision sharpened, his mind focused. There was no room for failure. Whoever took her, whoever dared to use her as bait would learn the true wrath of the Darkfang Clan.He turned to his men, their faces streaked with blood and sweat."Spread out," he ordered, his voice cutting through the night air. "Track every scent, every footprint. Someone knows where they took her.""Yes, Master!" they responded in unison before dispersing like shadows into the ruined battlefield.Clyde’s earpiece crackle."Master, we found a lead," Walex’s voice came through."Talk.""A survivor. One of the mercenaries from the Villains. He’s wound

A tense silence filled the grand hall of the Kylain stronghold. Clyde stood at the center, his dark eyes locked onto the Kylain leader. The air crackled with tension, but what held his attention the most were the men standing behind the leader, some mercenaries, not Kylain warriors. They were heavily armed, their faces concealed by masks, their weapons gleaming under the dim chandelier light.A third party?Someone else had entered the fight and tried to sabotage our plans.Clyde exhaled sharply. He had anticipated resistance, but this was different. The Kylains had brought outside forces into their war. This wasn’t just a clan dispute anymore."Who are they?" Clyde asked, his voice calm but sharp.The Kylain leader smirked. "You thought this was between us? You underestimate the reach of those who desire the throne."Clyde clenched his jaw. He didn’t like surprises, and this reeked of something bigger."Your father made many enemies, boy," the leader continued. "And you? You are just

Clyde stood in front of the large glass window in his chamber, hands behind his back, his mind lost in thought. The night sky was dark, but the moon cast a faint silver glow across the city. From here, he could see the vastness of his estate, the territory of the Darkfang Clan stretching beyond the horizon.Tonight would mark the beginning of a war that had been brewing for years.Danielle’s face flickered through his mind again. The thought of her trapped in Seth’s hands made his jaw clench. He should be the one to get her out. He should be the one by her side, but he couldn't afford to risk the mission. If things went wrong, Danielle would suffer, and he wouldn’t allow that.A knock on the door pulled him from his thoughts."Come in," he ordered, his voice steady.Craig entered, his expression serious. "Everything is set. We’ll be moving in an hour."Clyde turned to face him. "Good."Craig hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "Are you sure about splitting the team like this

“He also said you once saved his life from a fire incident so he feels indebted to you and is willing to help you with this information but_you only and no one else. So far, he seems willing to share some information about Seth, his location and where he is keeping Danielle hostage.” Craig explained.Clyde looked at the man intently, his face not striking any resemblance. Yet he was right about one thing. He did save a number of people from a fire accident long time ago but he harldy recalled anything significant about that event and barely remembered the faces of those he saved or how they looked like.Perhaps he could be telling the truth_part of his facial skin folded upon each other—depicting a once upon a time fire victim. The scars were still there and didn't seem to ever go away.“How sure are you that we should trust this man? This could be a trap!” He said, his face portraying no emotion.“He works as one of Seth's men.” Craig replied.Clyde's eyes narrowed as he looked at th

He sighed and pinched his nose bridge. “Danielle has been kidnapped.” He said calmly, his breath was sharp and deep, finally he got himself to say it.They stood, quiet and calm, their faces betrayed no emotion.“What?” Clyde was agitated. “Won't you guys say something?” He asked, annoyance evident in his tone.“We're waiting for your orders, Young master.” They responded calm and professional.He sighed.They were right—his orders.He should've handled this professionally and less emotional just as he was taught in training than let sentiment cloud his judgement and thinking.“I need more men!” He repeated, his tone low but audible. “I need men that'll sweep through the entire empire until Seth Mandeep is found and apprehended.” he spoke, his tone deep and icy.“You order we execute!” They said, “Your wish is our command.”“Danielle must be rescued alive!” He emphasized.“Roger.” They saluted. “No worries Master, this matter is settled, you're in safe hands.” Craig said, his face sta

Clyde didn't respond. In terms of size or status, this man had it all. Compared to him he took the likeness of a buzzing fly_ regardless— he made up his mind. He wasn't one to chatter so he was not going to banter words with him.While he thought he gave baby punches_ he was tasting the waters, strategizing and trying to figure out where would strike the most if he was to hit him. Seeking for his most vulnerable side.He kept looking strategically until he found it and though he received a black eye from that challenge he gave that fat, arrogant jerk a reason to visit the hospital.Since then he was feared the most in the training ground.The man in question was tall, huge, had long dark hair that flowed over his shoulders and he loved wearing wolf skin. —-*Danielle blinked slowly, her eyes adjusting to the blinding rays of the sun. She yawned, spitting a strand of hair that almost got into her mouth—that was a long sleep.She attempted to move her body but realized that she was in

“She hasn't woken yet, your men must've given her too much of that drug!” She complained, irritation lacing on her words.“She'll wake when it wears off.” Seth shot back, his tone dripping with annoyance. Angry that she's unsatisfied with anything he does.“This better not make Clyde turn beast mode on us. I expected you to capture both of them.” She retorted sharply.“Well, he wasn't home.” he shrugged, dismissing her reprimand.He left Danielle and strode somewhere else.“Next time wait till he is.” she chipped in, her voice raising to the ceiling.He scowled, muttering under his breath, "Ungrateful bit—"“You said something?" she asked, her sharp ears catching his mumbled insult."No... I meant, yes. Yes ma'am__ I'll do better next time" he quickly corrected himself, forcing a smile, his tone bordering on mockery.She looked at him suspiciously, “Now listen to me.” her eyes dimmed, her voice commanding.“Try not to lay any of those filthy hands of yours on her.
