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
So much had happened to Dominic in just a day, and it was not even six PM yet. First it was the chaos at the jewelry store, and now Ariella was being a nuisance. After everything, it was hard to believe that Ciara had only gotten the contract that morning, it felt like it was already long ago. He and Aliya were still at the entrance of Zion, she was trying to get the phone number of the person in charge of the hotel, then he would finally be rid of Ariella and her annoying face. "Now that the cops have gone, why don't you beat it loser?" Ariella growled at Dominic. "I don't think I can leave just like that, not after you insulted me and my wife. No, I to make you pay for that. Plus, there's still the issue of having those guys attack me, I need to find a way to make you pay for the money i spent at the hospital. Or don't you think?" Dominic response lacked any form of emotion, and it was due to the fact that he had grown tired of her. "Would you stop sprouting nonsense and just ge
After Dominic and Aliya were settled in Thomas's office, he started. "This place looks very nice, I can tell that you do your job very nicely.""Oh, thank you very much sir. The Shay family is the one doing all the work. I just do what I'm told.""Well then you must do what you're told nicely.""Thank you sir.""I don't want to waste much of your time so I'll just go straight to the point. My name is Dominic Shay, the heir to the Shay family." He said with pride. "Oh my goodness, I had no idea I was in the presence of such an important personnel." Dominic couldn't hide his shock when Thomas suddenly drop to his knees, head bowed in respect. "If you needed anything, you could have just sent for me young master. You didn't have to come all the way.""Please Thomas, don't do that. You're embarrassing me, let's just talk like friends.""Oh I am unworthy to even dream of speaking casually to you sire.""Please Thomas, get on your feet. We're practically within the same age bracket, there
"Okay, now that that issue has been resolved, we can discuss the main reason I came here in the first place.""Of course young master. Anything.""My wedding anniversary is coming up in a week's time, and I want to make use of the Zion hall. Will that be possible?" Dominic knew he didn't have to ask but he decided to, just so he could hear the response Thomas would give. "Normally, even members of the platinum level have to book the hall in time but, for you sire, they rule has been tossed out of the window. Even if you need it tomorrow, it's very possible.""Good to know. How about food and drink?""You can leave that to me as well, I will have the best chefs and caterers prepare the best dish they have ever made.""Alright then. I am also going to leave this here." He dropped the jewelries he bought for Ciara. "It's a surprise, and I want to give it to her on that day.""What I need from you is a way to surprise her with it. Like I want to surprise her with it in a nice way, and I'
They went to a fancy restaurant for dinner, not that Dominic was surprised though. He knew his in –laws were rich and they were never shy when it came to spending money. "So, how was our day?" Ciara said, trying to start up a conversation. "Dominic, you were going to tell me what happened to you?""I will love, just wait till we get home."When he called her love, Ciara smiled sweetly but it earned a scowl from his mother -in -law. "My day was absolutely awful. You want to know why? My own sister decided to ridicule me in front of the whole family and didn't even think it was necessary to apologize.""I'm sorry George but you know Dominic would have done the same thing if he had lost the bet. And besides, that wouldn't have happened if you hadn't doubted me from the start. All I wanted was for you, my own brother, to acknowledge my intelligence.""That's why you decided that the best revenge would be to steal the position that you know I want?""That was just the reward that cane wi
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
"You know Ciara, you should have never taken up that deal." Her mother criticized after George had left."Really mother? Why on earth would you say that?""Isn't it true? None of this would be happening if you had just kept quiet at the meeting the other day. But instead, you allowed yourself to be moved by this… this fool. Now your brother is upset with you.""Mother, please not tonight. We were supposed to celebrate me this night, not end up fighting. So please, can we just have our dinner and go back home? George will get over his anger soon."The rest of their dinner was eaten in a sour mood. It really annoyed Dominic when ever Ciara's family treated her badly but he didn't know what he was supposed to say or do to cheer her up. To change the mood in the atmosphere, he said. "I was robbed today.""What?!" Ciara dropped her fork with a loud thud and turned to face him. "When?, where? How? Did you go to the police? Are you okay?""Relax, I'm going to answer all your questions. When
Flashback to the Fallon family, two years ago. "I called this meeting because I want to introduce a new member of our family." Ciara's grandfather said. "Dominic, come on in."A tall, fit guy walked in, looking around like he was in another universe. He had dark brown hair that reached his shoulders and golden brown eyes that seemed to look deep into one's soul. At first glance, one might think he was an actor or a model. "Everyone, this is Dominic and he will be living with us from now on." The old man announced and left no room for any question or argument. A week later, Dominic was still finding it hard to feel at home with the Fallons. No one was talking to him and he felt like they all despised him, not that he was surprised though. The old man said he had a surprise for him but he wouldn't say more than that and if Dominic tried to ask, he would only reply by saying patience is virtue. Then one day, while he was in the man's study– the only place in the entire mansion where
