It was afternoon when Hermione arrived at a famous brunch restaurant known as Jenny's Cuisine. She wasn't in a good mood since she had a lot of threats from the shareholders. She knew Sean was her only way out and he was the one she was meeting.She found he was already there and he had already ordered. Her heart was beating like a drum and a wild impulse to turn around and walk away crept into her. But it feels like she was dragged and thrown into a very dark hole with no way of coming out.It was obvious to her that she was left without a choice and she had to let go of her pride. She has to forget about the fact that Sean deceived her and beg him for help.Where she stood, she gulped, trying hard to free herself from the popsicle she turned herself into. She was tired of how her chest rises and falls in rapid breaths so she hesitantly walked toward the table which was at the far end of the restaurant, close to the mirror wall, but before she could get there, he stood up and dragged
"Three hundred billion dollars?!" Dwayne yelled in disbelief and stupefaction. "Son, that amount of money is too much for us to just give away. What are we going to tell the board about how such an amount left the company? We'll need an explanation that is plausible."Sean walked toward his grandfather's desk and stood in front of his father and grandfather. "I know, dad, but I had no other choice. I needed her by all means and with this, she's forthwith stuck with us. She and her family.""The money can't be dug from the ground, Sean. It's damn too much. Even for us." Dwayne debated further, showing his displeasure and umbrage toward it."I know we don't have to take the money from the company, dad. We have savings, and I'm sure you guys have slush funds hidden away. Come on, help me out. Let's work it out together." He desperately pleaded.Dwayne sighed, looking demoralized and he glanced at his father who kept shut. He couldn't believe he was just going to give such a huge amount o
Dylan arrived at a BMW store in Melrovia the next morning. The day for the event kept getting closer and he needed a good car to show off himself and Dr. Lydia.However, just as he entered the store, he bumped into a lady who stumbled backward in shock and a gasp."What the hell?! You bas…" The lady looked at him and then a trace of disdain appeared in her expression. "Tard. You bastard." She completed even though she still looked shocked.Dylan recognized the girl, she was his mate back then in high school. A girl who was already labeled a bitch at a young age and growing up. Letty Grey.Unlike back then when she had really long, wavy, black hair, this time her hair was short to her shoulders and straight. He just sighed, getting disgusted at himself for trying to check her out. Even though she was beautiful, she was disgusting inside. She was even the last person he'd ever want to meet.She was still the same, always riding with a clique who just stood behind her like some barbie d
"Are you sure he's not capable of affording the car? I mean, why would he come here to buy a car when he can't afford one?" One of the guys questioned. It was obvious he was the only one seeing reason.Lefty scoffed with her hips jutted out and her hands folded. She kept looking at Dylan, accessing him before answering, "Does he look like someone that can afford such a car? He's probably just trying to flirt with the poor sales lady.""But we know Dylan, Letty…" The other girl interjected. "He's not someone who jokes around or even flirts around. Don't you think you're only falling down the rabbit hole by accepting such a deal?"Dylan's mouth curled up into an enigmatic smile. Who cares if she's receiving warnings from her friends? She can't back out now. She's going to have to pay for daring to insult his mother with her unfiltered mouth. Next time, she'll learn how to zip it.He then took out his bank card and gave it to the saleswoman. "Swipe it."Instantly, the Saleslady took it a
The event took place in one of the most expensive hotels and for this event, Dylan donned a very expensive suit. He drove to Dr. Lydia's home and picked her up before heading to the hotel.Dylan got out of the car after arriving at the hotel's entrance when a Porsche stopped abruptly in front of him.Then, Harold Andrews, who wore a meticulously expensive suit and slick hairstyle came out of his car.Harold saw Dylan and with a trace of disdain in his eyes, he scanned him and said with a sly smile, "Ooh, Dylan, where did you find this counterfeit suit? You look like a pet animal trying to play dress up."Madame Sharon equally came out of the car with Madeline and was surprised to see Dylan there. What was he doing in an event as big as this?Dylan's gaze was lost on Harold. He had some good memories since they were once close friends and back then, it didn't seem like there was anything on earth that could pull them apart. He was even the one that made his relationship with Hermione p
The event was going smoothly. Lord Nigel Owens was making his speech about the new race car and how thankful he was to the team for making it possible. He was giving details about the properties of the car and its capabilities.But not all were focused.Hermione for instance, who couldn't stop staring at Dylan. They've all been confused as to why he was in the VVIP round table section, looking like he owns the place.Dr. Lydia gave her a look with a smirk on her face while holding on to Dylan as she sat beside him. Hermione was shivering in anger and jealousy cause the thought of Dylan with another woman terrified her. She thought she would consider it nothing but it turns out it could affect her."Dylan being there makes him look like an important person." Madeline voiced out since she was also staring at Dylan.It was odd just seeing Dylan that way but she always knew he was not as ordinary as he came out to be.Madame Sharon scoffed and nodded. "I think I understand now. That girl,
It was late at night when the Harpers arrived home. Hermione has been out of it since the discussion she had with Dr. Lydia. That f*cking bitch.She dropped her bag on the sofa and also collapsed her butt on it in deep, angry thoughts.Madeline just walked past them and headed toward the stairs straight to her room without an ounce of care.Harold furrowed his brows at Hermione's sudden attitude. He didn't get it. Sean complained to him about how she's been staring at Dylan all through the event. He wasn't happy about it and of course, he understood so he decided to confront her by asking, "Why are you being so worked up about Dylan, Hermione? You shouldn't concern yourself about what he does anymore."Madame Sharon let out a harsh breath with a pouty expression and complained like she's been doing in the car. "I can't believe how this event went. I felt like an unimportant guest. Like a ghost. I thought being invited to this event was a step up the pyramid but I couldn't even get any
'Do you know how much you've suffered for the years you've worked under Robert Clifford? How can you be so reckless, Owens? You've earned the stage you're in now but you're just gonna hand it over just because a dead guy told you so?'Lord Owens grunted at the words his aunt spat at him. How dare she dare dictate how he lives his life? That thieving, cunning woman. A week has passed by already.He was in the boardroom at Red's Angels sitting on one of the chairs, expecting some important guests. He had an uneasy throbbing feeling that things could go wrong if he didn't take matters into his own hands.The door opened and a girl and a boy entered.The boy with his hands shoved in his pocket walked toward his father and said, "Hey, dad. What's up?"Lord Owens had two adopted kids known by their nicknames as Azure King and Cloud Mane, also referred to as Princess Mane. Their real names are Adonis Owens and Jessica Owens.They are Apex Conglomerate's main battle forces in the underworld
