Theresa's eyes widened and she did not even realize when she was already on her feet, dropping the cutlery she had been holding just seconds ago.

"I will be there right away." That was all she managed to say before the call ended. She turned to Daniel who had also stopped eating and was anxiously waiting to find out what had happened.

"What happened."

    The CEO of Clinton Restaurant Mr. Mishal Clinton was on his way to a very important meeting when a call came through.The call was not from Mia but rather from Zane Creston himself. It was not every day he received a call from a man like Lord Zane and he immediately knew that whatever this was about it was important."Lord Zane." Mishal was trying very hard to keep his voice calm but he was not doing a very good job of it."Has your restaurant ever had any conduct issues or do you simply not train your staff properly.""What. Sir. Have they offended you.""Not me. But someone very important to me. To the point where your manager has threatened to have him beaten to death."Mishal felt his heart skip. Fear gripped him completely."He has ordered me to shut down your restaurant. And just so you know I take orders from him. If you cannot handle this situation within the next twenty minutes your restaurant will be shut down.""No. Please Lord Zane. I will handle it right away. Please do n

    There was an intense silence that filled the entire restaurant, it seemed for a moment that everyone had stopped breathing."Wow! He has just got himself into some serious problem, don't he realize who Mr. Lax is?" Someone gasped, the whole crowd had shock filled both their eyes and mouths.Theresa stared around for a long while, understanding the situation on ground. She immediately fell to her knees, clutching Lax tighter."Please….. please Sir, my husband has just made a huge mistake just now, please I ask that you forgive him."She pleaded as her eyes were filled with panic and that enraged Daniel further, as he held her hand and dragged her up."Have you lost your mind Theresa! How dare you go on your knees for such a man!""What is wrong with you Dan, even in this moment, don't you see the situation at hand and what I am trying to do here.""I always ask for a little trust in me, is that so hard for you that you would think that I can't deal with a man like him.""Daniel he is v

    As Daniel and Theresa stood there waiting for the manager to arrive Theresa could feel people starting to whisper around them."Daniel. Please let us just go. We could find another restaurant or better still we can make something at home. I am not even that hungry.""Yes you are. And do not let others make you feel like you do not deserve the best because you truly do. You are a Blackwell."He was trying his best to assure her yet he could see in her eyes how uncomfortable she felt.Just then the manager stormed over. A middle aged man dressed in a tailored suit with subtle facial hair and broad shoulders.From the way he walked it was easy to tell that he had been in this business long enough to have gained access to every elite circle he could think of."Good day. Mr. Hayes correct." He asked and Daniel nodded."First let me start by saying that we are sincerely sorry for what happened. It was entirely the fault of the staff member who was supposed to call and inform you of the chan

Their expressions calm but tense with curiosity.As Ryan listened one thing became obvious. Either the Don had turned on him or someone had defeated him and forced the confession out of him.But he was the Don. The king of the underground. There was no one in the entire Coast City who could make him do something like that.Which could only mean the Don had double crossed him. And that infuriated Ryan even further.
