"I'm glad I could finally write this part. It means Stephen's story has truly come to an end. Look forward to my next book!" ^_^
The streets of Rosewind were always bustling with life, especially during the dinner hour. As a waiter in one of the most popular restaurants in the area, Stephen was always in the thick of the action. He moved gracefully between tables, serving customers with a smile and ensuring that each dish was presented perfectly. "Stupid waiter! Are you blind?" said a brown-haired man.Stephen put on a glass at the customer's table, a man in a black suit abruptly pushed a glass on the table, causing the glass to crash onto the floor and shatter. That customer was Bryson Geoff, Stephen's brother-in-law who frequently bullied Stephen in various situations, including public places. Bryson smiled sinisterly, as if to hint that this incident was just the start of a more interesting show. It was clear that he had come to the restaurant with the sole purpose of making Stephen's life miserable, and he relished the opportunity to humiliate him in public. The blonde-haired man said, "Sorry, I'll replac
Stephen's eyes widened in disbelief as he blinked repeatedly to confirm what he was seeing. It was William Morse, someone he had known in the past and regarded as a father figure.Stephen asked, hoping he wasn't mistaken,"William! Is it really you?" William replied, standing beside a man in black glasses. "Yes, Young Master. It's me."Relieved, Stephen let out a deep sigh and collapsed on the ground. His body ached from the intense fight. He looked up at the dark sky, hoping for a moment of respite.The two men who referred to Stephen as "Young Master" sat down beside him and offered their assistance.William looked concerned at Stephen, he said,"You seem to be badly hurt, Young Master. Let's get you in the car, and let me treat your injuries."Stephen reluctantly agreed to enter the Rolls-Royce, realizing he had no alternative. Despite enduring excruciating pain, he chose to remain silent. This infuriated William, who was tending to Stephen's injuries.With his eyebrows barely knit t
As Stephen approached the gallery door, it opened automatically, welcoming him inside. A brunette salesgirl greeted him with a smile."Welcome to Rosegold—" she began, but her words trailed off as she took in Stephen's disheveled appearance. In all her time working there, she had never seen a customer looked so dirty.she muttered under her breath, "Oh my..." But, Stephen was unfazed. He spoke kindly to her, as if his appearance was of no consequence."I'd like to purchase the finest shirt you have."The salesgirl asked, cupping her hand to her ear as if she hadn't heard correctly. "What was that?" "I said I want to buy the best shirt you have," Stephen repeated, enunciating each word.The salesgirl laughed, taking in Stephen's scruffy appearance. "Oh my God! Do you think I'm deaf?" Stephen seemed completely out of place in such an upscale store. a senior salesgirl chided the brunette. "Hey, why are you laughing so hard?"The brunette giggled again, but the blonde senior salesgirl me
The gallery guard's face turned pale; he certainly didn't want to be topless on such a cold night, let alone until morning.Stephen snapped, "Why are you silent?"Stephen grinned at the gallery girls, who had all taken his side and were now giving the guard disapproving looks. "I see, you really are a loser!"With a disdainful glance, the blonde-haired senior salesgirl said, "Yes, you're a loser!" and the others chimed in.A brown-haired salesgir sneered, "Should we take off your shirt so you'll keep your promise?" and the others laughed.The gallery guard's face flushed with embarrassment. Reluctantly, he took off his shirt in the bone-chilling cold.The security guard said sarcastically, "You're satisfied to see me, girls?" Then he left the gallery room cursing.After the security guard left, the gallery room fell silent once more. The salesgirls' attention was on Stephen.The handsome blonde haired man said as the gallery salesgirl stripped the shirt from the mannequin, "Put all the
Stephen stepped out of the Rosegold Fashion Gallery building and spotted a shirtless guard outside. The guard had his arms folded across his chest, trying to keep warm. Stephen noticed a look of pity on his face. Stephen asked the guard, "Hey, man. Are you sure about this bet?" The guard replied arrogantly, "Of course, I'm not a baby who needs his mother's arms to sleep." Stephen confirmed the guard's statement by saying, "Okay, I believe you." If only the guard was willing to apologize, maybe Stephen would consider canceling the bet. "Good luck!" Stephen gave the guard the middle finger and left the Rosegold Fashion Gallery area to catch a taxi back to Geoff's house. While waiting for a taxi to pass, Stephen remembered his viral video. He was going to be featured in the Rosegold Fashion Gallery catalog soon. He couldn't let the video continue to circulate. Stephen took out his cellphone and contacted William to remove his videos from social media. It wasn't long before the cal
That morning, Stephen woke up later than usual because his body ached. When he finally opened his eyes, he saw that Fiona had already finished dressing and was ready to leave for college.Stephen asked, "Why didn't you wake me up?" He got up from the bed and then stretched for a moment. His body still ached from the fight he had the night before.Fiona replied by checking the contents of her bag, "I have woken you up, but you seemed too tired, so I let you sleep." She looked at Stephen with pity, knowing how badly the restaurant security guard and Bryson had beaten him.Stephen looked at his wife, then offered, "I can take you to campus. Just give me a minute to stretch my muscles and go to the bathroom."The brown haired woman said, "No need, Stephen. Today I'm leaving with Billy."Concerned that he might have missed something, Stephen rushed to meet Fiona after he finished in the bathroom.Stephen asked, astonished, "When did he come here?"Fiona explained, "Early this morning. He sa
Megan inquired, "Why?" Her eyes bulged like they almost jumped out of their sockets. "Aren't you interested in doing this?" Megan was an opportunist woman, and she didn't like it when her wishes were denied, especially by someone she perceived as lower class.Megan scoffed before striding away, "Don't worry, I'll toss you a fiver. I know you're down on your luck after being fired." She leaving Stephen in front of the whirring washing machine. It was routine for Stephen to take odd jobs from Geoff's family to make some extra cash. For now, he couldn't risk revealing his true identity, so he reluctantly accepted the task from Megan. However, Stephen had a plan in the works for his brother-in-law's wife.Megan was a peculiar woman, as cunning as a venomous serpent. Stephen knew he had to be just as unconventional in his approach to bring her down.Stephen's eyes widened in shock at the sight of the dress, stained with blood. "Damn it!" To make matters worse, there were also numerous spe
Stephen furrowed his forehead as he tried to think of which other man Fiona had met behind his back. So far, many wealthy men had tried to approach Fiona after his father died. But, she had ignored them all. Stephen couldn't help but be curious about this particular man.He asked Oliver, his informant, "And then what happened?" He hoped for more detailed information."Your wife's brother left her alone with that stranger," Oliver replied.Upon hearing this, Stephen's chest grew hot. He knew his wife was under immense pressure from her brothers to divorce him. As Stephen and Fiona's relationship continued to deteriorate because of the interference of his brothers-in-law he could not remain silent. He still wanted to know what she was up to.Stephen inquired, "Do you know what they were talking about?"Oliver informed Stephen, watching the man speak with a smile as if trying to impress Fiona. "I couldn't hear exactly what they were saying. However, that tall blonde man kept looking at yo
