"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
POPULAR MAFIA BOSS, PABLO DIMARZIO SPOTTED AT FIFTH AVENUE, SHARING ICE CREAM WITH A RANDOM STRANGER. When Dominic read the headline, he couldn't believe it. When and how did someone quickly take and post all those pictures. The first picture was where Pablo hugged him, and the rest was just them sitting on the bench. As usual, the people didn't waste any time with the comments and reposting and sharing the post like it was nobody's business. 'Who is that young guy with him?' One of the comments said, 'What is going on?? Could they be related?''Oh my goodness!!!! Pablo DiMarzio is GAY??????' Another person commented. 'They kinda look like friends.' The comment section kept going on and on, but for some reason it seemed like the people were more supportive of the girl who claimed they were a gay couple. And in just a matter of minutes, that had become the most popular news in the entire city of Roseville. Popular mafia boss, Pablo DiMarzio is allegedly gay, and he shares a cone
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
After she left her grandmother's office, she went back to hers to clear up her table before leaving. She was barely half way through when she heard a familiar voice by the door. "Tough first day." She smiled at him as he walked into her office. "Hey Daniel, it's been awhile. Are you back from your vacation?" She asked, even though the answer was very obvious. "Yes ma'am, I am. And I see you finally got the office of your dreams." He commented, raising a brow at her with his usual upbeat smiling face. Daniel was one of the staff at the Fallon Cartel, and he was also Ciara's good friend. He used to help her take care of what ever she needed to do but was too difficult for her. It even got to an extent where some– no, most – of the other staff members started to believe that the two were a couple… even though Daniel was happily married with a child. They had not seen each other in months because Daniel had taken a leave of absence to spend some time with his family, especially s
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
