When the car pulled up, everyone turned their attention to it, eager to see the person inside such a luxurious vehicle. Then, almost like he was an actor filming, Richard slowly opened the door and came out, a hard look on his face. When Florence saw him, she smiled happily. Partly because she was thrilled that her problems would be solved but also because she believed that she had found the perfect suitor for her daughter. "Oh my goodness, who is that?" Someome asked, she wasn't talking to anyone in particular though. "Wow, just look at that face. I would give anything to have someone so perfect in my family." Another woman added. "Talk about perfect son -in -law. Just look at that car, it must be crazy expensive."The people kept admiring Richard, and he just stood there, enjoying the compliments they were showering on him. Florence liked to show that she was associated with big personalities, so as she noticed that people were admiring him, she smiled and waved at him. "Oh R
Ciara was given another office, one that was two times bigger than her brother's – and he had the biggest office among the other children – and she was put in charge of a lot of things that were under the control of her brother previously. Her pay was better, and she had more vacation days. Ciara couldn't be happier. All she ever wanted was finally happening to her, the feeling was the same as waiting all year for the perfect Christmas gift, then finally after so long, the gift was given to you. Dominic told her that she deserved it and more, but really she just felt lucky that she was finally getting a chance to prove to her grandmother, her parents, her brother and even her cousins that she was useful. That she had more than just her beauty. "We need to talk." George said as he barged into her office. "What can I do for you, George?""What can you do for me? I'll tell you what you can do, you can resign from this position and go back to the corner where you used to be.""But I'm
While he was waiting for Aliya's call, Dominic sat on a bench at the other side of the road, that way he could finally take shade from the scorching sun, and he had the perfect view of his mother -in -law and Richard and how they were going to fail woefully. "Yes, who is the person in charge of the establishment??" Richard demanded angrily. "Yeah, bring out that scum!" Florence added. "How dare you scam all these people of their money? You should be ashamed of yourself! Now, I order you to do the right thing or else I'll make sure you end up on jail!""Sir, I'm not the one in charge, I'm only a security guard." The middle height man in uniform addressed Richard and Florence. "Ma'am, please you can't come any further. That's the rule.""Screw all your trashy rules! Don't you know who I am? Go in right now and tell whoever is in charge that Richard Stevenson is going to send every last one of you to jail if he or she doesn't come down here right this instant!"When he mentioned sendi
"What I found out was that he had a backbone. And that backbone is going by the name of Pablo DiMarzio." Aliya announced. Inside the four walls of the MX Corp, right in the CEO's office, an elderly man and a younger man were having a meeting. "Sir Pablo, this is your cut from this deal." The younger one, a blonde man said, his voice coming out a little shaky. "And how much exactly are we talking about here?" The younger man was the owner of the company but the elderly man was the one seated in the executive chair. "Twenty million, sir.""Am I a joke to you?!" He flared up. "Twenty million? And what the hell am I supposed to use it for? Cigarettes?!" He voiced boomed across the room, bold enough to intimidate anyone. "I– I am truly sorry sir, but it's just… there isn't that much money from this deal and well I still have some other commitments I need to settle –""Do I look like I care? Maxie, what do I always tell you?""Th- that you do– don't joke with your money… sir." The young
"Don't you worry yourself Aunty, I will make sure I retrieve every last penny of the money you invested in this fraudulent company. That is a promise I am making to you right now." Richard declared boldly. "Oh thank you Richard, I am so glad I called you. Oh, if only I had a reliable and responsible young man like yourself in my family." Florence had been smiling brightly, her hope in Richard's power and connection was unwavering. "Oh you flatter me too much Aunty. Let us sort out this issue first, then we can talk about uniting our families after this.""Wow, you're responsible and you have your priorities set out straight. Oh where have you been all my life?"Richard was getting excited because he saw that Florence was also interested in him getting married to Ciara. A proud grin worked its way to his lips, things were going easier than he had expected. Too easy even!Now all he had to do was get the money back from whoever the CEO was, and the deal was in the bag. The MX Corp lo
"Well, well, well. So this is the man who intends on sending me to prison. Well, I'm here now, arrest me." Pablo DiMarzio said, a mocking smile on his smooth face. "W– well- I - you see, the thing is uh- I didn't -" Richard stuttered, unable to get any word out. Florence just stood motionless by his side, looking petrified with fear. Even she was familiar with the mafia boss, and she knew the damage he could cause in her life with just a single phone call. "Why are you stammering? Didn't you want to punish me for duping these people of their money?""N- not at all sir." He shook his head quickly. "I didn't think you were the one in charge. I would never dare to go against your word or judgement." Richard was upset that Florence had to see him in such a weak state, but even more than that, he was scared that Pablo DiMarzio might ruin his life if he uttered the wrong statement. "Oh, so now I'm sir to you? But I'm a bad person, do I really deserve the respect you're giving to me?" A
Dominic was still watching the scene but he was already getting bored, and he was sure his mother -in -law was already so disappointed in Richard for not being able to stand up to Pablo… even though she couldn't either. "Two cones of chocolate ice cream please." He ordered and the man in the ice cream truck happily prepared his order. The ice cream man would have driven off to another area in the city but Dominic had proven to be a good customer after buying his fourth one- excluding the two he just bought again. Dominic had always had a sweet tooth and while not many people were aware of it, Mrs Jameson knew, and she always tried to satisfy his cravings. Speaking of Mrs Jameson, her health had improved greatly the last time Dominic paid yer a visit. She had been released from the hospital and she was almost looking like her normal, cheerful self again. Perhaps he would pay yer another visit, and maybe this time he would convince Ciara to go with him. With the two cones in his hand
Dominic recalled back in his younger days, where his mafia uncle used to teach him how to fight. He said that one must always learn how to defend yourself in any situation, and so, Dominic had to train with his uncle who was very talented in martial arts… even though he was only seven years old at the time. Back then, Dominic was never actually able to land any of his moves on him and now that he finally did, he felt… almost happy. He just hoped Pablo wouldn't get offended. When Pablo DiMarzio pulled Dominic and hugged him, every one had questions. Florence wondered what was going on. 'was it a trick?' she asked herself. Maybe Pablo DiMarzio wanted to pull Dominic closer so he could stab him. Was her useless son -in -law going to die?If he did, then her daughter would be single again and that way, she could fix her up with whoever she wanted. Richard was also stunned because, not only did Dominic speak casually to the mafia boss, now he was hugging him. What games was he playing
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
