THE TRILLIONAIRE'S UNDERSTATED DOMINANCE

Supreme Black Card

“Wait! You haven’t collected your check yet.” Haylee spoke, but he kept walking.

“I don’t need it.”

As Haylee watched him walk away, she felt a strange sensation in her chest. 

It felt like she was losing something valuable, but she refused to back down. She believed that she was doing what was best for her, so there was no need to feel guilty.

Roman walked away and put his hands in his pocket. That was when he felt the black card and the ring that were given to him by the blonde woman he spoke to earlier. 

He put the ring on his finger and decided to visit the bank like she said. Even if the woman was lying about his true identity, he wanted to confirm for himself. After all, he no longer had anything to lose.

He had just gotten to the bank after several minutes and was about to climb up the stairs when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

“What is a beggar like you doing in such a prestigious place?”

He turned and saw his mother-in-law, Fiona, standing beside his sister-in-law, Marilyn. Then he remembered he was now divorced so they were now his ex-in laws. 

He wanted to just ignore them in order not to cause a scene at such a public place, but of course, they wouldn’t just let him pass in peace.

“Paupers like you don’t belong here. I’m sure you came by to cash in the check you got from my daughter. You could have gone to a lesser bank. Aren’t you even ashamed to walk in a place like this while looking like you rolled in a trash can?” Fiona had a smug look on her face as he turned towards her.

“I’m so glad my sister finally decided to get rid of you. Having you around was such an embarrassment to our family name. You just kept dragging my sister down with your pitiful lifestyle. Make sure you pack all the garbage that belongs to you out of her house today, else I’ll personally make sure it’s thrown out into the streets.” Marilyn smirked and put her hands on her hips.

He was about to remind them that they had saved up to buy the house together, so the house didn’t belong to Haylee alone, but Fiona noticed the ring on his finger. Not his wedding ring, he had already tossed that in the gutter as soon as he signed the divorce paper. The antique ring that the blonde woman had given to him. Fiona’s eyes widened, and she immediately began to calculate the cost of such a ring. 

“So you’re not just just poor, you’re also a thief. Where did you get that ring? You must have stolen it from my daughter. Give it back right now. I won’t let you take advantage of her. Also give me the check she wrote to you. Don’t you have any shame? How dare you try to take what doesn’t belong to you?” Fiona began to yell and tried to drag the ring from Roman.

He stepped aside and while she tried to turn around, she slipped and fell.

“I didn’t take a dime from your daughter, nor did I steal from her. I’m no longer a part of your family now that I am divorced from Haylee, so leave me alone.”

“Liar! Security! Security! This man just tried to kill my mother.” Marilyn began to yell at the top of her voice as she crouched beside her mother. 

Meanwhile, Fiona began to weep, and pretend like she was in pain when she was fine. Two security guards stepped forward to assess the situation, and Roman put his hands up in a sign of surrender. He wanted to make sure they saw that he was unarmed and therefore not dangerous. 

“I’m just here to conduct business. These women were the ones who stepped in my path and refused to let me be.”

Marilyn began to laugh. “What business could a penniless street urchin like you possibly have to do in a place like this? Do you think we’re stupid? You don’t even qualify for the lowest job position in a place like this. Go back to cleaning the gutters. It’s the perfect place for a tramp like you.”

“Sir, we’re going to need proof of your identity in order to verify if you’re truly a customer, or if what these ladies claim is true.” One of the guards said.

Fiona immediately interrupted, even though they were not speaking to her.

“Do you not see how dirty his clothes are? How could you possibly think he’s a customer? In order to get access to this bank, even a basic bronze card requires you to have a deposit of at least ten million dollars. Even if this man works for the next ten years from dawn to dusk, he would never be able to make such a deposit.”

Marilyn turned to Roman with an arrogant smirk as she took out a bronze card. “Hamilton helped us secure this bronze card with a twenty million dollar deposit, and he’s not even married to Haylee yet. Imagine what he will do when he finally becomes family. What have you been able to achieve in your years of marriage to Haylee? I’m sure the most expensive gift you’ve given to her will not even cost up to a hundred dollars.”

Her mockery made him angry, instead of making him sad. He had endured years of their ridicule just out of his love for Haylee. Now that Haylee had tossed his love aside like it meant nothing, he no longer had to take their abuse. He reached into his pocket and took out the black card that was given to him by the blonde woman. 

“The supreme black card?!”

There were three types of black cards, the premium, which required a deposit of at least six hundred million dollars. The royal black card, which required a deposit of at least nine hundred million dollars. And the supreme black card, which required at least ten billion dollars deposit.

The supreme was the highest card available and only two people had ever been able to achieve that. Roman was holding one of the two supreme black cards available in the whole country.

Marilyn’s jaw dropped and she stared with her mouth open. Fiona stuttered, and her hands began to shake. They weren’t the only ones who were stunned. 

The security guards stared at the card in Roman’s hand like he was holding a great treasure. And the supreme black card was actually a treasure. It was easy to identify because it was the only black card that had been engraved with gold.

They wondered how he could possibly have gotten a supreme black card.
