"You wanted to see me mother?""Yes Ciara, what is the meaning of what you did back at the conference room?""I don't know what you're talking about mother.""How could you humiliate your brother like that in front of everyone? And in the presence of that idiot as well!""Mother, Dominic is not an idiot, don't say that. And to answer your question, they made a bet. I mean, you were all there that day, so you clearly saw it all happen. Besides, why are you making such a big deal out of it? It was only a harmless joke.""A harmless joke you say? Your brother –older brother by the way – went down on both his knees and apologized to that- that imbecile! And you call it a joke. Are you being serious right now?""Mother calm down, if you want me to, I'll go and apologize to George.""Forget it! I just don't want such nonsense to repeat itself ever again!"Ciara was trying to keep herself from asking but her anger wasn't going anywhere so she decided to just ask anyway. "Mother, when George
"So, what made you decide to take me out for lunch?" Dominic asked, then quickly added. "Now I'm not complaining or anything, it's just that my curiousity is kinda hard to tame.""I get what you mean." It was very rare because the young couple rarely spent time together. "Well, with our success with the contract today, and my promotion… I thought we'd celebrate." She replied with a smile. He liked the way she said 'our success' and not just hers. "We should, and we will. But not like this." A simple date was far from what Dominic had in mind. She was confused by her husband's statement so she asked. "What do you mean? ""Your promotion is way too much of a big deal to get celebrated in such a simple way. We have to go bigger.""Bigger?""Yes. You deserve it more than anyone else in the entire Fallon family, and now it's finally yours. That calls for an elaborate celebration.""I guess you're right. Okay then, let's go someplace else. We can find a more fancy restaurant. Ooh! Or mayb
After his lunch date with his wife, Dominic didn't go back to work. He was only going to have one chance to prepare the best surprise for their anniversary, and he wanted to do it right. Back when he was still lacking in the monetary aspect, there was very little he could do. But now things were different, he had all the riches he could ever need or want, and he was prepared to spend it all to please his wife. First thing he needed was a gift, something that would wow her. A gift so impressive that it would blow her mind. He knew how much Ciara liked to accessorize so he decided that jewelry would be perfect for her. He headed to Ace diamonds, the best jewelry store in all of Roseville. Contrary to the name, they had more than just diamonds. There were gold, silver, ruby, jade, emerald and basically any other gems you could think of. He walked in the extravagantly decorated store, hoping to find the perfect gift for his perfect woman. He checked out a bunch of necklace and other
"Ha!" The woman scoffed. "Well wouldn't this be interesting? You, a mere servant or an errand boy will pay forty four million dollars in cash. I'm so dying to see it happen.""Oh and will you actually die when the money does get here?" He shot her a cold glare. "Let's see, shall we?"At that point, the people around were starting to get interested. When he mentioned forty million plus in cash, people were eager to see it. While others were still skeptical, as they believed there was no way someone like him would have that much money. "Is this a habit of yours, pretending to be what you're not?" The woman said. She had been working at that store for more than eight years, so she felt like she could read people perfectly well, and to her, Dominic was nothing than a pretty boy."Hello, Miss Brynn?""Yes Mr Shay, is there something you need sir?""Yes, I need you to prepare me forty four point two million dollars in cash and bring it to Ace diamonds right now!""Right away sir."Even aft
'Was the gift enough to make their anniversary a memorable one?' he thought to himself. He needed that day to be perfect for Ciara, and so that meant that he had to make it better. When he and his wife got married, they never had the chance to have a real wedding. It had always been Ciara's late grandfather's wish to see his great grandchild, and he wished Ciara would be able to give him that. When he asked Ciara to marry Dominic, she tried to get him to tell her the reason behind his unbending decision, but the only response she could ever get out of him was that he was a good person, and he wanted Ciara to end up with a good person. After having their marriage registered, the old man chose a date for the actual wedding, but just a week before then, he fell really sick. The family did their best to restore his health, from taking him to different hospitals, to flying him out of the country for special treatments. But unfortunately, despite all the amount they spent, the old man
"Guards, teach him a lesson!"As soon as she gave that order, the guards leaped at Dominic, ready to beat the life out of him. One of them punched him in the stomach while the other held him in place to keep him from fighting back, or escaping. Another hard blow landed in his stomach, and Dominic felt like he was about to throw up his intestines. He kicked him in the chest as hard as he could, almost knocking the wind out of him. With his assaulter temporarily stopped, Dominic bent forward with all his might, judo flipping the guard holding him back. Giving him no room for recovery, Dominic pushed the other guard and swung his fist, catching him in the face. Dominic didn't stop after one hit and instead kept swinging his fists blindly, trying to smash his face in, kicking at his legs, elbowing him, and basically beating with his whole body. The guard was twice his size, but Dominic was relentless. The other guard grabbed him and threw him backwards, sending him flying and he cras
"Push me any further and I just might actually call the police on you." Ariella threatened. By then, the defeated guards had retreated inside the building, probably to tend to their wounds. So Ariella was left alone with Dominic. "I thought you already called them. Was that a lie? Do you really think you can threaten me with the authorities? Don't be an idiot."Ariella was stunned with the way Dominic spoke to her. He was supposed to cower in fear, and he shouldn't even be able look her in the eyes, after all, she was much higher than he was in society. But instead, he was talking calmly and boldly. Even the mention of the police was not enough to make him quiver. "Me, an idiot? Hah! At least I'm not a leech feeding off of my wife's family!""Wife? I did not know you were a lesbian now.""What, no! That was not what I meant. Whatever, just get lost loser. As long as I still work here, you are never setting foot in the hotel.""Are you sure about that Ariella? This world is full of
Back at the Fallon Cartel, Florence was hoping she could get on her son's good side so he could help her become favorable to her mother. Other than the fact that she was the one who birthed her, Rosa had not shown any form of connection between a mother and a child. And while Florence was not looking for a mother and daughter bond or anything like that. The old woman had connections in high places, and that was what she wanted. And of all the children and grandchildren of Rosa Fallon, she was fond of only one… and that was George Fallon, Florence's first son. So, she decided that what better way was there to get closer to her mother than through the grandchild she cherished the most."Thank you for coming to see me George." She had one of her usual fake smiles plastered on her face. "Not a problem mother. Besides, you said you had something important to tell me?" "Right. You see, I wanted to l apologize for the way things turned out at the meeting this morning. I never liked that
Tomas was patiently awaiting the arrival of his girlfriend, since they had made an agreement to meet up at night. Not more than thirty minutes later, she walked into the hotel room. "I have been calling you, why did you refuse to answer?" He questioned as she walked inside."I'm so sorry babe, I forgot to charge my phone and I didn't even remember to take my power bank when I left home. You know I would never intentionally ignores your calls. "Okay. Well, I'm sure you know the reason why I asked us to meet up?" "Of course." The couple had decided that they would come up with a plan together that would help Tomas get back in good terms with the DnD, and even though she had the whole day to think, Maria was not able to come up with any idea. "Great. I really can't thank you enough for agreeing to help me om this." He smiled and took her hands in his. "It warms my heart to see that you still care deeply for me even after what happened.""You don't have to thank me, you are my future

Since they saw the news posted about Dominic and the Mafia boss about two hours ago, they– mostly Ciara— had been anxious to hear an update. She was pacing around her office, mumbling to herself except for the occasional outbursts. "Ugh! Why won't he call me?" And throwing out some curse words as well. "So, new update, your husband is gay." Maria said, resting on the wall by the entrance. "Touching story for the kids.""What do you want, Maria? I'm not in the mood for your drama right now." She said without paying her much attention. "Of course I understand. No one would hear such news about a man she's married to and be calm. You know gram has seen it as well. So your little husband is the least of your worries.""What did she say about it?""I believe you're not crippled, so what's stopping you from going to her office to ask her by yourself?""Well if you're not going to help, then just get out of my office.""Rude, someone's letting her new position get in her head. What gives
"So? Even with the job, do you think you can somehow magically make a new life for yourself in three days?? I would really love to see you try.""Really? Challenge accepted gram. And once my wife and I manage to create a new, and more comfortable life for ourselves in three days, you will finally give her that company car that you have been planning on giving to George instead."When Dominic said that, she looked a bit shocked because she thought her plans were secret. Right from the onset, gram Fallon had wanted to give the director position to George, and it was no secret to the family. If it wasn't for his intervention, his wife would have been cheated just like that. Now what the Fallon family didn't know was that along with the huge office and the significant increase in the monthly pay, the director position also came with a brand new luxury car. Even Dominic was unaware of that fact until he heard George discussing it with gram Fallon. Since then, he had been thinking of a
