C3 Chapter 3

"Hello, can you please calm down ma'am. Be civilized." Another officer urges from behind, the one that humiliated him with his eyes would never warn Daisy because he desires this to happen to him.

Ezio stares into his face and it's glowing with delight. He's certain that this is what he wanted. Daisy loosens the grip on him as the officer says this and finally lets go of him.

"Can you tell me why you desired to come here and embarrass me with this tattered clothes of yours and that Uber cab of yours?" She points to the car angrily.

"Look around, of all these cars, which fall into this caliber," she returns her fist to the Uber cab parked a few meters away.

Ezio gets pissed at her question.

"Aren't you the one that bought it for me, to drive and return the money to you?" He feels the need to embarrass her as well, showing the kind of person she is.

The security gasps in surprise. She looks at them and rolls her eyes, smirking at their reaction to Ezio's statement.

"Yes I bought it for you to use and drive, and bring back the money, not to come here!" She retorts, barking loudly.

Ezio totally forgets he was a happy person an hour ago, he feels regret for wishing to come tell her he is not a poor man anymore, she doesn't deserve to know this.

He determines right inside him to forget about ever sharing his good news with her except she changes. He only wants to let her know of his birthday surprise and that she should come home.

"How did you know I was here?" He asks to satisfy the curiosity which is bothering him.

There is a giant gate closing the vicinity of the theater, it isn't open such that he would suspect that she might have sighted him from a distance inside.

"You desire to know that?" She asks with sarcasm in her tone.

"Well one of the security here, I wouldn't tell who among these eight alerted me that a certain man is here claiming to look for me, I asked for his description and he said he drove in an Uber cab. I know that wouldn't be any other fucking asshole but you!" She points her fist directly to his face.

"Now let me warn you, don't ever. I repeat, don't ever use your fucking legs to this place for any reason, worst of all you came to check up on me. As what, who am I to you, mate?" She spats.

"I can never be a mate to a poor, wretched man like you. I was blind with love when I married you, now I'm wise. I can't continue with someone like you. It's over between us, I'll seek a divorce."

"Please, don't do this to me!" Tears begin to stream from his eyes, he attempts to kneel before her but she pushes him away, backing him in fury.

If this happened earlier, he would have begged because he had no means of survival if Daisy should leave him but now he has a million dollars.

Some people might call it coincidence but luck found him, nature had most certainly seen the sufferings he had passed through and decided the time was up for him to be rewarded. This isn't the end of everything, more luck is coming along the way. He believes.

"Why would my life be cursed with a poor, senseless fool like you? Look at me, all my colleagues are married to rich, well-to-do men who can take care of them, who make them happy all the times but here I am suffering from depression whenever I think of my life getting entangled with you. What do you have to offer, nothing!" She hits him with fury.

"I got a surprise for you at home, it's my birthday, please come celebrate with me, I cooked a good number of delicacies for you."

"Hahahah!" She laughs so loud and sarcastically.

"You prepared dishes for me when it's your birthday? You think I've forgotten today is your birthday? If you were a sensible mate, do you think I wouldn't stay back to make you feel special?" She shakes her head in mockery.

"Well it's because you're nothing to me and we'll soon be off each other's path. I have an eye on a man who takes good care of me!" Saying this, she leaves Ezio on his knees and walks over to her black sports car which is parked just a meter away.

She uses the remote, the door opens and she gets in. Then a huge, handsome and muscular man like the model bodybuilders often pictured in magazines walks out of the theater with a black bag that Ezio identifies to be his mate's.

He gazes at him with surprise, he can't even challenge him, he would be killed.

This must be the man that answered my call in the afternoon. He declares inside him and sure it is, that's the new boyfriend of Daisy, the man she professes to have an eye on, who takes good care of her.

He walks to the opposite side of the car, opens the door and gets in. The first thing they do is to share a kiss and Daisy tilts her head towards the window, giving her mate a mocking blink.

"Fuck you!" She says, raises two of her left fingers, with the rest bent.

"I have no time for you!" She zooms off leaving Ezio confused, rejected and frustrated. The tears he had been fighting so hard came back fully.

"Please may you leave now?" One of the security officers asks him, they find it useless for him to remain here now his mate has gone with another man.

"I'm going to end this, I can't bear this further!" He declares inside him, getting into his car, he zooms off with anger and frustration beating hard in his chest.

Ezio's eyes were welling up with tears. His own mate cheated on him, just because He is poor.

He was numb and sitting inside his Uber cab parked at the alley.

"Why am I bad at everything?" He wiped his tears with his closed first.

First he was abandoned by his mom and never felt any motherly love, now he's married, he thought he would get an equivalent love from his mate but fate turned against him.

"I have to bear this cheating for my son," he exhaled a heavy breath and was about to start his car. Ezio knows that whatever happens after divorce will affect his son adversely.

Suddenly, he saw two Mercedes cars stopped in front of his Uber cab. Tall, hefty men in black suits with dark aura peculiar to Lycans walk towards him. He narrows his brows, trying to figure out who they are but he maintains his stance.
