It was getting closer to evening and the silence that came after each beep was deafening..Everyone in the store froze as the shrill alarm of the POS terminal echoed like a gunshot. The card machine’s screen finally glared in red: "TRANSACTION DECLINED – ACCOUNT FROZEN"

The lead attendant responding to Elijah, her face now twisted in rage and superiority continued to shove the terminal toward Elijah’s face. “Look!” she barked. “Are you blind or just pretending you don't know what's happening and why aren't you saying anything? Your so-called diamond card’s been BLOCKED! That shiny toy won’t pay for anything here.”

Gasps rippled through the store. Customers who had been grinning happily moments ago at Elijah’s offer were now looking so quiet like they'd touched fire. A few whispered, “He’s a fraud?” One laughed nervously while the rest just stared.

    Elijah leaned lazily against the polished mahogany counter, phone in hand as his thumbs glided across the glowing screen. The salesgirl’s cheap vanilla perfume tried to mask the exhaustion that clung faintly to the air while his detached reflection shimmered in the glass countertop. The double glass doors separating the waiting room and the main boutique parted, and Bartholomew strode in with measured confidence. Behind him, two guards pushed chrome trolleys piled high with garment bags and boxes, the branded luxury logos shouting money. "My lord," Bartholomew’s proud tone carried caution as he halted a few feet away. "Do you love these… or should we pick other ones?" Elijah slid his phone into his inner pocket and turned, his icing gaze flying to the trolleys. "Hmmm. I can’t come all the way from San Dicevey to the capital just for scraps. The most important thing is Naomi. Did you get a gown? Exactly her size and beautiful enough for her that she will love?" Bartholomew’

    The Aviatux Luxury Manor guests' dining hall was a sight of pure elegance. A grand chandelier bathed the room in golden light, reflecting off the polished marble floor. Towering black-and-gold columns lined the walls, while deep crimson drapes framed massive windows overlooking the glowing gardens. The air carried the soft hum of Aveston's orchestral music, blending with murmured conversations. A semi-circular dining table stretched across the hall, draped in fine silk and set with gold-rimmed plates and handcrafted glassware that had the diagram of two intertwined bracelets, the crest of the Aviatux family.
