Dominic walked out of the bright hotel lobby into the cold night air. The heavy glass doors slid completely shut behind his tall imposing figure.

His phone vibrated loudly inside his dark coat pocket. He pulled it out and saw the name Gladys flashing on the bright glowing screen.

Gladys was the beautiful and extremely ruthless CEO of Blackcrest International. She managed his massive global empire from the deep hidden shadows of the criminal and corporate worlds.

"Good evening, my supreme lord." Gladys spoke with deep absolute reverence through the small phone speaker. She sat alone in her massive penthouse office.

"What do you want, Gladys?" Dominic kept his deep voice perfectly flat and totally emotionless. He watched the busy city traffic pass by slowly in the dark street.

"Our exclusive commercial dinner party is tomorrow night. I desperately need your final approval on the official exclusive partner list." Gladys flipped through several thick corporate files on her large expensive desk.

"Read the top names to me right now." Dominic began walking down the empty concrete sidewalk. The cold winter wind bit harshly at his handsome face.

"We have the massive tech conglomerate and Camilla's international fashion brand. Camilla has been begging for an invitation for six long agonizing months." Gladys read the details with perfect crisp professional pronunciation.

"Remove Camilla from the official guest list immediately." Dominic stopped walking completely. A cold dangerous light flickered deeply in his dark empty eyes.

"Are you absolutely sure, my lord? She is your legal wedded wife." Gladys sounded slightly confused by the sudden harsh unexpected order.

"She is a completely worthless snake who loves only dirty money and fake status. Add Eleanor's corporate empire to the top-tier guest list instead." Dominic clenched his free hand into a very tight fist. He wanted Camilla to feel true painful corporate failure.

"It will be done exactly as you command. Will you grace us with your divine presence tomorrow night?" Gladys typed the new commands rapidly into her expensive glowing computer system.

"I will attend the dinner party." Dominic stared up at the tall glowing city skyscrapers. He planned to watch Camilla suffer the ultimate crushing public humiliation.

"This is absolutely wonderful news! I will prepare a massive grand entrance for you. I will personally receive you and announce your true absolute power to the entire world!" Gladys practically shouted with pure absolute overwhelming joy. She worshipped the ground he walked on every single day.

"Do not do that under any circumstances. Keep my true identity completely hidden from everyone. I do not need a stupid flashy arrogant reception." Dominic frowned deeply at the loud phone speaker.

"I understand completely, my lord. I will ensure everything is perfectly arranged for your secret silent arrival." Gladys bowed her head respectfully even though he could not physically see her.

Dominic ended the phone call without another single word. He slipped the expensive black device back into his deep warm pocket. The complete total destruction of Camilla's arrogant pride was finally beginning tonight.

The next evening arrived with a beautiful bright golden sunset. The massive grand ballroom of Blackcrest International sparkled with expensive hanging crystal chandeliers.

Dominic walked calmly into the incredibly luxurious crowded venue. He wore a simple dark tailored suit that completely hid his immense global wealth and dangerous absolute power.

"Dominic! I knew I would finally find you here tonight." Eleanor walked gracefully toward him holding a tall glass of expensive sparkling champagne. She wore a stunning tight black designer dress.

"You look entirely too pleased with yourself this evening." Dominic picked up a cold glass of fresh water from a passing silver serving tray.

"I received a totally unexpected VIP invitation to this exclusive dinner party at the very last minute. My company is completely saved from total absolute ruin." Eleanor smiled brilliantly at his handsome quiet face.

"Congratulations on your sudden corporate luck." Dominic took a slow sip of the cold refreshing water. He kept his handsome expression totally blank and completely unreadable.

"I know you secretly arranged this massive miracle for me. You are a truly terrifying and perfectly wonderful powerful man." Eleanor leaned incredibly close to his broad strong shoulder. Her expensive imported perfume smelled like sweet dark blooming roses.

"Do not flatter yourself too much, Eleanor. Blackcrest International makes its own strategic independent business decisions." Dominic stepped back slightly to maintain a proper polite formal distance.

"You are a terrible unconvincing liar, Dominic. I owe you my entire absolute life and my entire corporate empire." Eleanor giggled softly under her breath. She traced the thin crystal rim of her delicate expensive glass.

Heavy loud arrogant footsteps echoed near the grand entrance of the beautiful massive ballroom. Camilla walked into the bright crowded room clinging tightly to Sebastian's thick muscular arm.

Camilla wore a breathtaking million-dollar sparkling diamond necklace. Her beautiful flawless face was twisted into an arrogant superior cruel smirk.

"Look at this absolute disgusting trash polluting the beautiful wealthy room. Why did the strict security guards let a homeless beggar inside a VIP event?" Camilla glared directly at Dominic with pure freezing absolute hatred.

"Who invited this pathetic cheap loser to our special night? He looks like a dirty wet sewer rat trying to steal our expensive imported cheese." Sebastian laughed loudly and incredibly cruelly. He pulled Camilla much closer to his expensive custom-tailored suit.

"You are a disgusting foul stain on my perfect flawless evening, Dominic. You belong in a filthy overflowing garbage dumpster eating rotten moldy leftover scraps." Camilla pointed her perfectly manicured finger directly at his simple dark suit.

"I have every legal right to stand in this public room." Dominic looked at her angry red face with complete total absolute indifference.

"You are entirely worthless and completely pathetic. Look at my brilliant handsome Sebastian. He is a true king among normal weak men. He smells like extreme wealth and absolute raw power. You smell like a cheap dirty broken toilet." Camilla smiled incredibly sweetly at Sebastian. She gently stroked his strong broad chest with deep pure affection.

"You are far too kind to me, my beautiful flawless perfect queen. I will buy you the entire absolute world tomorrow morning." Sebastian kissed Camilla passionately on her pale soft cheek.

"You hear that, you useless piece of cheap dirty mud? Sebastian is my absolute first priority in this entire world. He treats me with pure total endless devotion. You are worse than the sticky foul mud on the very bottom of my expensive high heels." Camilla turned her icy freezing glare back to Dominic.

"You should kneel down right now and beg my wealthy Sebastian for a single shiny gold coin. Maybe you could finally afford a proper cheap meal, you starving pathetic loser." Camilla crossed her pale thin arms tightly across her chest.

Eleanor watched the entire cruel nasty exchange with wide completely shocked eyes. She could not believe Camilla was actively insulting the true hidden master of Blackcrest International.

"You will deeply regret those exact horrible words very soon, Camilla." Eleanor stepped forward bravely to defend the quiet powerful dangerous man.

"Shut your ugly loud mouth, you fake corporate slimy snake. You are just as pathetic and weak as my garbage useless husband. You both belong in the dirty smelly slums together." Camilla laughed with extreme toxic bubbling arrogance.

Camilla felt incredibly proud of herself in that exact moment. She had the most handsome rich powerful man in the entire large city standing right beside her.

She looked down at Dominic like he was a completely annoying little buzzing insect. She truly believed deep in her cold heart she had already won the entire massive corporate war.

Dominic simply watched her arrogant toxic display in total absolute silence. He knew the absolute crushing brutal truth was coming for her very soon.

"You will be begging me on your bare bloody knees for a single drop of mercy when your little fake company goes completely bankrupt, Dominic. You have zero valuable skills and absolutely zero real talent." Camilla took one threatening step closer to his tall frame.

"I will survive perfectly well without your dirty stolen money, Camilla." Dominic did not flinch at all at her loud screeching annoying voice.

"Survive? You will starve in a dark freezing cold alleyway! You are nothing but a useless disgusting leech sucking the rich pure blood from my hardworking noble family! You are a complete total zero!" Camilla stomped her expensive sharp high heel violently onto the polished marble floor.

"Do not be too harsh on the pathetic little crying beggar, Camilla. He might start sobbing right here in front of all these important wealthy powerful guests." Sebastian mocked Dominic with a very cruel twisted nasty smile.

"He is too incredibly stupid to even cry properly. He is an absolute total embarrassment to the entire male gender. I am so deeply thoroughly ashamed I ever married such a filthy low-class dirty peasant." Camilla flipped her long beautiful dark hair aggressively over her pale shoulder.

"You are entirely safe with me now, my beautiful precious delicate angel. I will protect you from all the dirty poor begging people." Sebastian kissed her delicate soft hand with fake dramatic burning passion.

"You are my absolute heroic savior, Sebastian. You are my beautiful shining strong knight in expensive custom shining armor." Camilla gazed up at Sebastian with pure total absolute blinding adoration.

"You make me want to vomit my expensive delicious dinner. You are both completely pathetic and totally utterly delusional." Eleanor glared at the two arrogant loud fools with deep intense burning hatred.

"Keep your dirty filthy mouth completely shut, Eleanor! Your stupid failing company is probably only here to clean the dirty public toilets!" Camilla shrieked loudly at her corporate business rival.

Dominic remained completely perfectly silent in the center of the massive room. The dangerous trap was perfectly flawlessly set. He only needed to wait patiently for the final brutal bloody snap.
