As usual, she wanted to be the belle of the ball so gram Fallon had ordered a dress from another state and even bought the most expensive necklaces and earrings to compliment her luxurious look. When she noticed the large amount of turn up of guests, she was pleased because she knew she looked the best, and the hall she rented was one of the best in Roseville. She was also glad she hired the press and reporters to record everything live, because that way the people who weren't present would still see her outfit and they would witness her new partnership with the DnD real estates. Taking one leisure step after the other, the old woman made her way to the stage, stopping right in the centre where the spotlight would shine down on her. "Firstly, I would like to say a big thank you to all our friends and business partners who took time out of their schedules – which I believed was a busy one – and came down here to celebrate with us." She said, a pompous smile on her face. If it wasn't
When gram Fallon announced that the CEO of the DnD real estates was also present at the banquet, the guests immediately started looking around, waiting to see the person that would stand up. "I can't believe that the CEO or the DnD would actually be here today." Someone said in excitement. "I wonder if it's someone I know." Another said. "Well, I do know almost all the prominent people in this city so, I'm sure I'll know him."With little concern with what was happening, Dominic slowly rose to his feet. His expression was hard and his gaze was locked on the old woman and her grandson on the stage. "What on earth are you doing?" Florence scolded. "Would you sit down?""Is that guy really the CEO of the DnD real estate?" A man asked as Dominic stood up. "No way," his friend waves off the thought. "If he was, Why would that woman scold him like that? It's not like she's his mother."From the stage, George yelled. "Hey commoner, sit your sorry ass back down. What the hell is wrong wit
Ignoring the curious and shocked expressions he got from the guests, Dominic walked over to Aliya's table and whispered to her. "I want you to go up the stage and inform everyone that the Fallon Cartel has been prohibited from working on the project with us because I'm revoking the contract I gave them. And that they're also banned from working with the DnD on future projects."She nodded and stood up immediately to carry out his order. There was absolutely no way he was letting his family in law hurt his wife like that and get away with it. That director position belonged to his wfe, and he was going to make sure it was given to her. He went outside and found her crying and it made him feel had. He hated seeing her sad or hurt. He sat next to her and did his best to cheer her up, and at first it seemed like it wasn't going to work, but after a while he was able to draw out a smile from her lips. Almost five minutes after he joined her, he noticed the doors to the banquet hall ope
In no more than ten minutes, the car that drove Aliya pulled up at the garage once again, and she went hack in. After retouching her make up, Ciara walked up the stage with ger grandmother by her side. The old lady was more than happy that her party was back in order, even if she had to make Ciara the director of her company, she felt it was a small sacrifice she had to pay to save her face. The people who had followed them outside were shocked when they saw the way the scene played out. They wondered what connection Ciara had with the DnD real estates to make them care that much for her. She earned a name for herself as the most beautiful girl in the whole of Roseville and it was said that she excelled greatly in her studies… even more than any other student that enrolled in Roseville High. But after all that, she was still just Ciara Fallon, one of the daughters of the Fallon family.Yet, a great company like the DnD was practically fighting for her. "Well, I know you all must b
"Watch my back? What the hell is that supposed to mean dork?! Are you threatening me?"When Dominic said that, his wife turned to look at him and the expression on his face was none like she had ever seen before. He had this confidence, this boldness on his face. Almost like he was the one who made David go bankrupt, and he could do the same thing to George if he wanted to. Of course that was impossible, single handedly making another person and their entire family completely go bankrupt was a feat that was only possible for someone with great power and a deep connection with the government. Even her family combined still wouldn't be able to do half of what happened to David and his family. "I have no reason to threaten you George, I'm just saying. You never know what might happen." He said it so nonchalantly that it almost didn't sound like a threat. "What is your problem, you poor loser? How does David's misfortune concern me? Am I the one who took all his money? Why should anyth
The next morning, Ciara woke up with an unsettled mind. Even as she prepared for work as the first day of being a director, she could barely concentrate. The reason for this, well, it all started the night before. After they got home from the banquet, Ciara slumped on the couch, she was exhausted– mostly from the drama that happened at the party– and getting a good night's sleep was all that she wanted. Dominic went straight into their bedroom, only to return about five minutes later, looking impossibly sexy. He had taken off his coat, and his shoes, and the first four buttons of his shirt had been unbottoned, revealing the muscled wall of his very masculine chest. Ciara swallowed hard as he approached her and suddenly crouched right in front of her. Her heart began to pound in her chest and she found it hard to breathe properly. Just as he had helped her put her shoes on, Dominic slowly began the task of taking them off, one after the other. Intentionally caressing her legs as h
"What?""Are you deaf! Or is there something wrong with your brain? I said to join the protesters in my place. Do you expect an important person like myself to join a bunch of old men and women screaming like zombies? It's much too embarrassing."Of all the things his mother -in -law had asked him to do, this was hands down, the most ridiculous thing ever. "Why exactly are they protesting anyway?" If he was going to embarrass himself, then he might at least know the reason. "Who are you to question me? I am your mother -in -law you nitwit! You have no right to question my order. You just do whatever I tell you to do, whenever I tell you to do it. Understood?!"This woman was something else, how could she call him without offering any form of explanation, and expect him to just start screaming his lungs out, and still she refused to explain what was going on!"You're not going to do it?" She crossed her arm over her chest, frowning at him like he was supposed to feel intimidated by he
"Just go back and join the protesters already!" She barked, but Dominic didn't moved a muscle. "What is wrong with you?""Mother, how much did you invest?" He asked again, more calmly this time around. He knew his mother -in -law. The reason she was this worried, and even willing to miss work to stand out in the sun with a bunch of old men and women protesting could only mean that the money in question, was a huge sum. "Two million." She answered quietly. "What!""You can't blame me okay! I was only trying to make a better future for myself." She yelled in her defence. A better future, more like she was trying to make some extra money for herself. His mother -in -law was so greedy, she couldn't see through a scam. Though, judging by the fact that so much other people fell for it as well, Dominic decided that maybe it wasn't that much of an obvious scam. "Florence, have you been able to make any progress?" Two women approached Dominic and his mother -in -law. From the way they we
