" He said.Jason laughed ridiculously, " Who's this fool, David what! Ask a reasonable person Mr. Brentford, this idiot's certainly not alright. "" I can see that. " The Manager agreed with Jason as he curled his brow at the waiter before walking away."Moron! " Jason also snorted at the innocent waiter, " If you keep talking nonsense, you'll be fired for sure. " He said.The waiter had to gulp his saliva, but he was sure of whom he saw.Shockingly, the guards at the entrance of the restaurant gave the same response as the waiter, leaving both Jason and the Manager very confused.Even at that Jason refused to believe; "Nah, it can never be David, the David I know is a nobody. " He said with hatred.*****David had never been this comfortable before as he relaxed inside the powerful Bentley jeep heading to the airport. Finally his days of suffering and humiliations are over, it's been 10 years now and he can't wait to return home to his family."My dad must really be desperate to see me! "" Ten years is soo long. Not only your father, Sterling city and the entire country cannot wait to see the heir of iconic Lord Ace, " Hunter said as he looked at David.David grins as he laid his head back on his seat as the driver rides."

Not everyone was aware of his return, but as soon as the news reach the castle, everyone in the castle from the servants to the guards all prepared themselves to welcome him. They all bowed before him like a king has returned. It was evening that day when David finally returned home to his great family. David was walking around in a quiet room, waiting for Hunter to return. He wondered, the castle has not changed so much since he left. He still knows all the corners of the castle that leads to his bedroom. As he walked around the glittering room, suddenly he remembered something; "My bags, shit! All my belongings are still in that Delilah's house.. " "Fuck, I'll still need to return to Armsdale city to get all of my things, my pictures, and some important stuff I kept inside the bedroom. " David grunted with disappointed in his voice. .. However, David was ve
The Next day. David woke up early in the morning and sat on his bed, a lot of events that happened lately scrolled through his mind. He smiled painfully as he recalls from when he first met the Forrest family. ~~~ He was not poor when he got married to Ashley, he was a handsome young man who had a nice paying company job, until he was called and made the General Manager of the Forrest group 5 years ago because of his unbelievably intelligence in business and management, discovered by Mr. Jorge Forrest. He had wanted to start his own business but Mr. Forrest wished to work with him, so he made him a shareholder in his company which David accepted. He helped run and manage the Forrest company for good 4 years and it was under his management that the formally undervalued Forrest company grew expand and gain leverage over all other companies in Armsdale city, lest did he know that except for Mr. Forrest who was the most kind to him, no other members from the Forrest family liked him,
But David did not want to spoil the fun. He wanted to watch the entire household of the Forrest family to drop their jaw in fear and beg him for mercy. "I don't want to talk about it father, though everything happened just recently. That's why I want to go into seclusion to restore my mental health, I have really suffered, " David said. "Is that why you went to a bar? " David tilt over to Hunter and then back to his father, " I guess, " he casually said. "That lady is just lucky you did not mention her name, brother, else she and her family would be so miserable, " Anna grimaced a little and David struck her a warm smile. Lord Ace sighed deeply; "If you say you want to stay away for sometime, I can consider, it's your choice, but what are we going to do about the announcement that has already spread all over the city and the country about your return?

Two days after he returned to Armsdale city, David arrived at his ex-wife's house in Weston estate where he formerly resided. His face painted blue coming back to this place, but he returned solely to pack up all he owned inside the house. He was more interested in one thing, the first class certificate that he obtained when he graduated from college 6 years ago, it's a document that held great significance for him. ...... Upon his arrival to the house, he appeared ordinary as ever, even his shirt were very rumpled. He has acquired so much wealth now, but he still decided to stay low and humble until his quest in the city is fulfilled. When he entered the compound, he had a feeling that his ex-wife must have thrown away his things from the house after their divorce. With the way she treated him after betraying him, he believed she could care less to do something like that, afterall they are no longer married. Nevertheless, as he paced slowly into the compound, he headed straight to
