As Daniel walked inside the store, he had noticed how customers who came in were treated. Some of them had immediately rushed to help the customers with their bags while guiding them on how to get the best designs and their latest.He could immediately tell that this was a place where the staff treated clients based on their pocket. He didn't want to get involved with any of it.Daniel just wanted to get a good piece of necklace and return back to his wife.But he had noticed how almost everyone had a particular staff member guiding them on what to buy and how every design is bigger, but it was not the case for him, no one even looked his direction.Yet he kept walking around, looking through the items, and all of a sudden, he came to an abrupt halt.Daniel's eyes lit up at the sight of a gold necklace.Inside a tall glass case, resting on a dark velvet stand, was a necklace unlike any other in the store.The pendant was shaped like a small teardrop, set with a single stone that seeme

Damian Kane stepped forward, both his hands tucked inside the pockets of his designer suit. Everyone could tell even by just his scent that he was nothing short of luxury."Hey you!" He pointed at Daniel like he was speaking to one of his servants. "Are you new to town?""I am not a newbie you can toss around, I grew up right in this city""So bad for you, because if you were a newbie, it would have been easy for me to forgive you, but now I see that you are fully aware of my identity and yet you dare to cross me, are you looking for death""Death?" Daniel scoffed as he repeated the words. "I think you are the one looking for death, coming in here and trying to take what I already have, things don't work that way just because you think you have a few coins""Coins, is that what you think of me, very well then, I am going to show you what coins feel like"He gritted his teeth, visibly angry at Daniel's words, then he turned to the attendant who looked displeased by the situation that w

Daniel had pulled his gaze away from his phone once he was done getting all the information that he wanted, and then he turned to Damian with a nonchalant look, like all of his earlier displays meant nothing to him."What were you saying, because I could swear that you had been yelling like a madman!"Damian's eyes immediately turned red, his security immediately stepped forward and raised his hand at Daniel, but Daniel caught it just before it landed on his face.Everyone gasped at how fast he was, his reflexes were something they had never seen before, and this only seemed to enrage Damian further."Are you trying to show some sort of strength here?""I didn't make any effort at all, matter of fact, it is your security that is so weak, you should just fire him." Some onlookers could not help but chuckle but had immediately stopped once Damian's eyes met theirs, afraid to anger the already angry Damien Kane."You have not a single idea who you just messed with, and I am going to make

Theresa had been so engrossed the entire day, it had been from one meeting to another that she felt so exhausted.By the time she finally returned to her office, she instructed her assistant, Betty, to go and get something for lunch.Betty didn't waste much time and returned, but while Theresa began to eat, she felt the food was bland.It was nothing like the usual delicious meal that Daniel would always make her. This made her immediately begin to think of Daniel, so she pulled out her phone and placed a call to him.But after ringing consistently with no pickup, she gave up."He is probably busy at the hospital," she had told herself, trying not to feel bad, but the meal wasn't delicious to her anymore.Just then, a knock came at the door. "Come in!" She ordered, and it was Betty."Ma'am, there is someone here to see you, he doesn't have an appointment yet he is insisting on seeing you""Betty, this is my break, you of all people know how busy I have been all through the day. I am e

The moment Daniel stood there with all of the crisis that was unfolding, the system had immediately activated a new ability, almost like the system could detect that he needed it in that moment.[NEW SYSTEM ABILITY UNLOCKED][FORESEEING ABILITY ACTIVATED]At first he did not understand what the foreseeing ability was and what he could do, but the moment he stared at the manager, he could immediately see things about the man he didn't know about.The manager, who heard his son's name mentioned, stood frozen at the spot because he didn't yet understand what that meant."What are you saying?" He asked, now curious to know, and even while Damian kept urging him to go ahead and drag Daniel away, he had lost all focus on that."I am telling you that your son's school, and even the board in charge of selecting players, would all see this. What kind of conduct do you think they would expect from the father of the boy who wants to become a basketball champion?"The manager froze at that moment

Damian was too shocked at the news, his first instinct was that his guard was trying to play some sort of trick on him.But he had worked with his guard for two years and knew fully well that he wouldn't be playing such tricks on him right now.He immediately snatched the phone away from his hand, staring down at the screen."How… how… how in the world is this possible!" He gasped, shock filling his expression. "This is not possible, it can't be!"He cried out, trying to make sense of what was going on right now."I told you that whatever power you think you have against this store, it's nothing, and right now, instead of bothering about the warfare of this place, you should be very worried about yourself and your career hanging by a thread"Daniel explained to him, but it didn't make any sense to him, none of it made a single bit of sense. How could this be happening.Then slowly, he raised his head away from the phone, and as he stared at Daniel, realization crept through him."It's

Daniel had expected a man like Damian to continue bragging about all of his success. But having him go down on his knees was certainly something he had not expected."Please." His voice trembled slightly. "I know that I wronged and humiliated you back inside and I know fully well that I do not deserve your forgiveness. But here I am on my knees."Daniel lowered his head briefly to look at him and in truth he did not even know what to say. He stood there for a moment just looking at this man who had been so loud and so certain of himself inside that store and was now crouching on the pavement outside of it with his pride completely stripped away."Please. Whatever you did to my account and my job. Please undo it. I cannot survive without it. I have a family that depends on me. I am begging you with everything inside of me. Please forgive me.""You should have thought about your family and how much they depend on you when you were inside there gloating to everyone about how easily you c

Theresa hated the fact that this beautiful moment had been interrupted. But more than that she was curious about who could possibly be coming this late at night."Are you expecting anyone." She asked. It was the same question he had been about to ask her. He shook his head and turned to the security guard who had come to inform them of the guests."Did they say who they are.""No sir. But there are three of them outside.""Three." Both Daniel and Theresa furrowed their brows at the same time. Confusion written across both their faces because neither of them was expecting anyone and this was not the kind of household that received unannounced visitors."Do you not know that you are supposed to find out their identity before coming in here to tell us." Theresa barked. Taking charge the way she always did when something was not handled the way she expected."I apologize ma'am. I thought you might have been expecting them given the fact that they were carrying a lot of bags and luggage. B

Theresa had not followed Daniel inside when he left. Instead she moved closer to the railing where she could get a good view of the family still on their knees outside."You should all get up. Especially since you said father is sick. It would not be good for him to be kneeling."All three immediately rose to their feet. Daniel's mother moved closer with a forced smile on her face."I heard my son was married. I did not think it was true or that any woman especially of your status would be interested in my son. Is it true. Are you married to Daniel.""Yes ma. I am his wife. My name is Theresa and it is such a pleasure meeting all of you.""My son really landed a jackpot with you. You are so beautiful.""Thank you ma." Theresa smiled politely at the compliment. This was something she had always desired. To meet Daniel's family someday and be recognized as his wife. And now she was finally meeting them even though it was not in the way she would have wanted."What is your name." Daniel'

Theresa did not say another word to him as she had headed upstairs. Daniel gulped the last of his drink in the glass and quickly followed behind, afraid of what she might decide to do.But Theresa had no plans of doing anything that would hurt herself, just like he had imagined, rather she picked up a lot of thick blankets and started heading downstairs.Relief flushed over him since he had concluded that she was going out to hand the blankets to them, that way they would be able to shield themselves from the cold."How long do you intend to provide blankets for them?""No, I have no plans of doing that, these blankets are for me, because I will be joining them outside and will be spending the night with them in the cold""What! Have you lost your mind!" He gasped, stunned at the fact that such a thing would even cross her mind. "Not at all, in fact I think that you are the one that has seriously lost your mind"She started walking towards the door, but just as her hand reached for th
