“What the hell is a street rat like you doing in a place like this? Are you here to steal?” Alison shouted.The moment Andy saw Damien his face turned red. This was the same man who had put hands on his father. After everything their family had done for him, he still dared. Worse, a beautiful woman stood beside Damien. Andy forced himself to stay calm. How did a useless man like this get a woman who looked like that?“Is this what you’ve turned into?” Andy asked. “Trying to impress a woman with your ex-wife’s money? Don’t you have any pride?”Alison’s head snapped toward Andy. A smile slowly spread across her face.“Oh really? Courtney told me he didn’t take the money.”“Of course she did,” Andy said. “She was trying to hide his shame. Now look at him with another woman, trying to live big. That’s the only reason he’s here.”“Wow. What a shameless man,” Alison said, shaking her head. “I should take back every penny she gave you. You don’t deserve anything.” Her eyes moved to Angela. “

At the last second, Damien grabbed Raymond’s hand. In one quick move he spun the angry man around and locked his arm behind his back. Raymond yelped like a child when the pain hit him.“You were so angry just a second ago,” Damien said. “Is this all you’ve got?”He sounded almost disappointed.“Let me go, you fool! Do you know who I am? Let me go now or—”Damien twisted the arm a little more. Men like Raymond never learned until they hit the bottom. Some never learned even then.“Security, get over here now,” Abigail whispered into her earpiece. Then she turned to Damien with a worried face. “I’m so sorry about your experience here today, sir. I promise it’s not usually like this.”Damien still held Raymond and answered in a calm voice.“Must be something in the air, huh?”“Yes, maybe that’s what it is,” Abigail said, and she gave a small laugh.The sight was almost funny. Damien held a grown man twisted like a pretzel while he and the manager talked like nothing was wrong. The other

Raymond wiped the tears from his eyes and kept laughing.“Oh, Angela, I didn’t know you were such a joker,” he said. “You mean he’s Mr. Delaney?”He laughed again, louder this time. Damien just sat there and watched him. He never felt the need to prove himself to anyone. Not when he was poor. Not now either.Angela started to enjoy the moment. Raymond was too proud to believe the truth. Damien would never jump up and shout about his new power. She wondered how far this would go.“That’s exactly what I mean,” Angela said with a small smile.“Him?” Raymond chuckled. “He’s been eating all this food like he’ll never eat again. I know he won’t get to eat here ever again. Unless he keeps taking free meals from you.”“I don’t mind that,” Angela said.Raymond looked at her hard. Was something wrong with her? Why would she protect this low man?His hate for Damien grew fast. For years he had tried to get close to Angela and failed. Now this stranger sat with her like it was nothing.“And do yo

The waiter set the last plate down and stepped away. The table was full of food. Steam rose from some dishes. Others looked almost too pretty to touch. Smells of meat, spices, and sweet sauce mixed in the air.Damien’s eyes went wide.“This all looks amazing,” he said.Angela watched him with a small smile. He had ordered almost everything that looked good. Dishes he had only seen in pictures before. Dishes Courtney and her family used to laugh about whenever he pointed them out.“Wait until you taste them,” she said.He did not wait. He picked up his fork and knife and started eating right away. He did not care about the people staring from other tables. Some whispered. A few shook their heads. Damien kept eating. The food was better than anything he had ever tasted. Soft, rich, full of flavors he could not name. For the first time in a long while, something warm settled in his chest.Angela could not ignore the looks the way he did. She knew most of them came from his clothes—torn,

A small crowd had already gathered near the entrance. People stood in little groups, watching everything with curious eyes and quiet judgment. Some held their phones low, pretending not to record. Others just whispered behind their hands.Abigail turned fully toward Damien. Her voice was calm and clear.“I am very sorry for the trouble, sir. Please accept my apology.”She held out her hand for a polite shake. Before Damien could take it, the hostess stepped between them and slapped his hand away hard.“Get back,” the hostess snarled. “Don’t you dare put your dirty fingers on her.”Damien stared at her in surprise. Her eyes looked almost wild, like she thought he was about to attack someone.Whispers moved quickly through the crowd.“Why is such a beautiful woman treating that beggar like an equal?”“He’s clearly beneath her.”“If she treats him that way, she must see the rest of us as kings.”The hostess kept talking, her voice rising with every word.“Don’t fall for his tricks, Miss
Chapter 7
Angela stood in front of Damien outside the big mansion. Both of her hands pressed against his chest to stop him from walking away.“Listen to yourself,” she said. “You’re going to kill him right now? You’re the new head of the Delaney Company. You have more money than most people will ever see. You’re about to join a group that can make you stronger than almost anyone. Why throw all of that away on one quick fight? Make the revenge slow. Make it hurt. Take everything from him piece by piece so he feels it every single day.”Damien’s anger cooled almost at once. She was right. Saul had spent years making his life small and hard. A fast death was too kind. Saul deserved to watch everything he owned get taken away slowly.Just then Damien’s stomach let out a loud growl. He had not eaten since the meal he cooked for Courtney earlier that day. Someone else had eaten that food while he walked home alone in the cold.Angela heard the sound and raised one eyebrow.“You need food,” she said.
