"Ciara, if you know that I am still your grandmother, and that your loyalty still stands with this family… I order you to divorce this loser once and for all and get married to Richard.""You want me to what?" Ciara asked, suddenly frowning at her grandmother. "I believe I didn't stutter. Leave Dominic and marry Richard. He is obviously more capable at taking care of you than your loser husband is. And I am sick and tired of having him in my family. Besides, you said you only married him to respect the wish of your grandfather but he is dead and gone now, so you are free to live our life in a better way.""He's dead and gone? How can you say such a thing? I can't believe you gram. He was my grandfather, your husband. Shouldn't you be the one most concerned about fulfilling his last wish?""Please, let the dead rest. I would not want a situation where one child is blaming me for ruining her life or anything like that.""You and I both know that's not why you're suggesting this. I can
"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
"Really gram? Did you just say that to me?" The look on Ciara's face was a pained one, and it hurt Dominic to see his wife like that. "Since you have made up your mind to be a nuisance to my family, I have made up mine to remove you from it.""Ciara, apologize to your grandmother right this instant!" Her mother scolded, but Ciara wasn't looking apologetic. "Ciara!""No mother, why should I apologize when I have done nothing wrong?""Oh so you don't see that thing inside you as a shameful thing? What are we supposed to tell our friends, business partners. Did you even stop for a second to think about that?""Mother, why on earth should I, or anyone else, be worried about what your friends and business partners think? And besides, what is there to not understand? I have been married for two years… don't you think it's high time we started our own family?""Shut up! You foolish girl! Start your own family? Ha! Don't make me laugh." The old woman said, a mean look on her face. "Are you g

"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
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 since
