"Okay, I appreciate the fact that you are trying to get to that bitch, Nick, but this is a little too much," Ethan said to David.

It had now dawned on everyone, just how real this had gotten.

The waiters were bringing in the bottles of the drink and even the music stopped.

They were placing them on a middle table, in front of everyone.

The guests were all talking to themselves, some were even taking pictures because they had never seen something like this.

Nick was looking with a mixture of anger and shock, the waiters were just bringing more and more bottles.

" What is he doing?!" Natalie wondered.

" I thought you said he couldn't afford to pay for your meal yesterday?" Nick angrily turned to her. " Why is he purchasing so much wine now?!"

Natalie couldn't believe it too, but then she smiled at Nick and came closer to him.

" Maybe he is just trying to act rich." She told him.

" What?"

" Maybe he doesn't even have the money and would probably return them afterward." She said, " David might be as poor as a church rat, but he is one of the smartest people I know."

Nick smiled because what she had just said was the truth.

" I see what you are doing." He pointed a finger at David and laughed. " You are probably going to return it afterward. I know your ways, pauper!"

" I can't believe that you would stoop so low." David shook his head. " Anyway, open the bottles."

Nick felt himself getting hot instantly, he couldn't understand what was going on.

He wouldn't have dared to open such a large number of drinks, but David was ordering that with so much ease.

Did David the pauper get rich overnight?!

Ethan and Dre saw the need to step in and they pulled David into a quiet corner to talk to him.

" What are you doing?" Ethan asked with hands akimbo.

" What do you mean what am I doing?" David frowned.

" That's over $360,000 worth of drinks that you are asking them to open," Ethan said. " Do you realize that this is not a joke anymore?"

"It was never a joke." David rubbed his nose. " Maybe I'm just fed up with Nick's bullshit and I don't want part in it anymore."

" That would make total sense if we had the money," Dre added. " But we don't. I don't want us to go to jail, please let's go home."

" No one is going anywhere," David growled. " Not until I am done with Nick and that traitor, Natalie."

He pushed away from his friends and returned back to watch his bottles being set on the table.

Nick and Natalie were now being thrown fully into panic mode.

Both of them thought David was just bluffing, but he was clearing their doubt over and over again.

" This can't be, no." Natalie shook her head in disbelief. " How is this possible?"

" Maybe he stole from someone rich." Nick wondered. " I can't trust that guy, David."

" Stealing would be the last thing David would do." Natalie refused to believe. " And if he truly stole from someone, he would have been in prison by now."

Nick's jaw clenched even tighter when David smiled at him and threw him a mock salute.

He rumbled on the inside of him, but there was nothing that he could do.

He would have wanted to buy his own bottles of wine, but his card didn't hold the funds to pay for such a heavy purchase.

What they didn't know was that one of the waiters was behind them and he heard everything they said.

He was worried that David was making such a large purchase without any solid proof of money, except for flashing his card.

After hearing what Nick and Natalie said about David, he took his phone and stepped out for a bit.

He made his call to the manager and requested his presence immediately.

The manager appeared after a few minutes with his fingers working on his phone.

" Tommy, this should be serious." He didn't even glance at the waiter.

" Sir, about the kid who ordered the red moon wine." He said.

" I know, right?! The boss is going to give us bonuses for selling so many drinks today!"

" Sir, I just heard his friends calling him poor." He told him. " They said he couldn't afford a bottle of wine yesterday."

The manager looked up from his phone and put it away immediately.

" What?"

" Sir, I don't want us to get into trouble if he can't pay for his drinks." The waiter said.

" Well, that's true. We might all lose our damn jobs!"

" What do we do, boss?"

" Let me step in, and then you show me the man." The manager said. " Then I will know if he will be able to pay or not."

The waiter and the manager returned to the hall and walked up to their fellow waiters.

The manager was stylishly shown David and he immediately grunted.

David's cheap suit and worn-out shoes didn't speak of wealth.

The manager adjusted his glasses and turned back to the waiters.

He only used a few words to get his point across to them and they got to work immediately.

They started to return the bottles the way that they had brought them, without giving anyone any explanation.

The look of glee on the faces of Nick and Natalie, they were almost jumping with joy.

David gave them an icy stare and this caused the manager to gulp down air.

"Is there a reason why my order is being returned?!' David barked.

" I'm sorry, sir, but I don't think that you would be able to pay for those." The manager apologized. " I think that it's better to be cautious than to be sorry later. We can't give you those drinks because of your history of not being able to pay for things, also, given the way you are dressed."

Everyone was watching what was going on and Nick and Natalie were openly gloating at him.

" About time someone said it." Nick laughed. " David is just an imposter! He is a poor man who is pretending to be rich."

    "Hey!" Stefanie took out her gun.Normally, she would have aimed it at Stefanie, but she knew that it wasn't her doing, so she aimed it at Lucinda. Tears were streaming down Stefanie's eyes, her hand was shaking, but the gun was still pointed at him. "I'm sorry." She sobbed. "I don't want to do it, David, she said she is going to post everything about my past life." "Just do it." He told her with a still face. "Go on, do it!" "Don't say that!" She cried. "Please." "I have the flash right here with me, Stefanie," Lucinda called after her. "If you don't do what I want, I will ruin your life!" "You have the black card, it has more money than anyone has seen in your lineage." Rosie hissed. Lucinda looked at her and laughed. "If it isn't his lap dog speaking." Lucinda mocked her. "How do you feel? You are right behind him all the time and you think that he is not going to fuck you up really soon?" Rosie wasn't fazed, the gun was still pointed at Lucinda, one word from David and s

    Stefanie couldn't understand why Lucinda was smiling even though she had just told her that David ruined her life. She kept down the plate of food, she was now very sure of the fact that it was definitely poisoned. Lucinda noticed this, but she just laughed it off. She picked up the remote control and changed the channel immediately, she had put on a comedy show and was laughing hysterically with the audience. Stefanie was watching her as if she had gone mad. "David took your home?" She swallowed. Lucinda stopped as she looked at her. "What, you think that I am lying or something?" She frowned. "No, that's what I mean, what I am trying to say is that he never said anything about this," Stefanie said. She was trying her best to show Lucinda that she wasn't trying to be offensive. Lucinda crossed her legs as she looked at Stefanie, her eyes piercing through her soul. "You think David Wyatt is a saint, don't you?" She asked. "What?" "You think he is a saint, I mean, that's ho

    After watching the CCTV footage in the cafe, Rosie and Tommy left again. Tommy drove while Rosie sat beside him, deep in thought. "So what do you think happened here?" He asked. "And where did she go?" "We saw her break the black card after she made the withdrawal, she could be anywhere at this point." Rosie sighed. Tommy glanced at her, but he kept on driving. "If the black card is only given out by David Wyatt, maybe there should be ways to find out how much she withdrew, maybe it wouldn't give us an idea of what she wanted to use the money for." "Withdrawals made with the cards can be tracked, that's why they were specially made. For untraceable transactions." She said, Tommy faced the road as he kept going, it seemed like there was so much on her mind. "Hey." He said to her, "Don't worry we will find her." "I don't know, Tommy, I have a very bad feeling about this." She confessed. He saw how worried she was, so he took her hand and gently squeezed it gently. Firstly he

    The cameras showed Stefanie leaving, but no one saw her walk out. She wasn't dragged out, she went out of the building without anyone forcing her. That fueled the possibility of her actually running away, which made David even more angry. He was so disturbed that Rosie took it upon herself to dig even more into the situation. She spent the night at the office alone, reviewing the CCTV videos. A coffee to keep her eyes open and her brain alert, she kept watching the videos again and again. She noticed that Stefanie came out holding her phone very close to her chest like she didn't want anyone to take it from her. "Strange…" Rosie got closer to the screen of the computer. Stefanie was looking around too like she wanted to make sure that no one was looking at her. She finally got out of the building and into a taxi, the taxi didn't have a plate number and the driver wasn't seen. "Son of a bitch…" she muttered. She heard a knock on her door and her ears stood up like those of a

    It was like a joke, she was there for one second and she was gone for the next. It looked like a joke, everyone went from wanting to kill David to looking for Stefanie, it was like she disappeared into thin air. Nothing was coming forth, not even after they looked at all the cameras and found nothing, it was a worrisome situation. After she had been missing for twenty-four hours, the police were invited. It was a sight to see, everyone stopped when the chief of the police came to see David personally. He walked into the building with his guards and they marched to David's office. David was waiting, his hands behind his back and a very worried look on his face. "Mister Wyatt? I am the chief of police, Frederick Lawson, I will be handling your case." "Hello, thank you for being here. Please let's talk in my office." David led him in and the door was shut tight. It was just David, the Chief, and Rosie, no one else was there. The chief took off his large hat and placed it on h

    Even David didn't realize that his mother was going to be there, given that he didn't invite her to the "party." He knew where to look, Rosie was looking as guilty as a pickpocket caught in the act. "You call my mum!" He looked at her. "Rosie, is this you having a death wish?!" His mother rolled her eyes as she placed a defensive hand on Rosie's shoulder. "Imagine what would have gone wrong if she didn't." His mother said. "Maybe you should be thankful to her." She looked around at all those pointing guns at her son, but her face froze immediately. "Antonio." She called. Antonio dropped his gun even further as he slapped his face. "Don't tell me that Alexa is his mum!" Now this was David's turn to be confused. The Grand Master was looking at them with a smile on her face. She didn't really come here to save anyone, she didn't care that much, she only thought it would be fun to watch. "Thanks for calling me, Rosie," Alexa said. She took a step forward, she examined the situ
