There he stood, his eyes cold as he looked at them. I was shocked and surprised to see him here. I didn’t tell him that I would be setting up my restaurant, he must have done some investigations.
The bullies looked frightened at just the sight of him, a while ago they were acting all haughty and mighty. They started whispering to themselves.
“Oh my! It’s Winfrey Quinn, multi–billionaire and owner of Winfrey corporation.” One gasped.
“Dan” He’s more handsome than what we see in the papers.” Another gushed.
“His expression is indeed as scary as he was painted to be. I still want him.” One chirped.
“Why is he looking at us like that I’m having a bad feeling about this” Another added.
I wondered if they were dumb, or they didn’t notice that Quinn could clearly hear their whispers. I watched as one of the girls, Elle, suddenly adjusted her dress and made her cleavage mare obvious.
Elle was one of the popular girls back at high school, she made my life at school a living hell I remembered when she and her friends ganged up and beat me up. For that reason, I missed an important exam. I clenched my fist, thinking about this.
“Ah! I see. He was probably enchanted my Elle’s beauty, that’s why he came here.” One exclaimed in a hush voice.
“Yeah, that’s true. I’m so jealous, Elle would soon be a Billionaire’s girlfriend.” Another added.
I shook my head in disgust, they had no shame. Quinn hadn’t even said anything, and yet, they were already assuming all sort of things. I could see Elle blushing and basking in all the compliments, while looking at Quinn coyly. I wanted to slap that expression from her face.
I imagined how shocked they’ll be if they found out I was his ex. They probably didn’t know, as they weren’t from around here. I could see the leader of the group, Carl, gritting his teeth as he watched the way Elle was looking at Quinn.
“Ah, now I see.” I thought, a smile on my face. I quickly figured out what was going on. He and Elle were probably in a relationship, and here she was trying to get Quinn’s attention. I chuckled at this, amused by what was going on
I looked at Quinn, he was now looking at Elle, coldly. I wondered what he was doing here. I hadn’t heard from him since the conference. Elle clearly didn’t get the message. She walked towards him and touched his hands, rubbing it softly
“Mr Quinn” She said in a sweet voice, “I’m Elle and_”
Quinn grabbed her hands harshly, stopping her from continuing her words. His grip on her hands was so tight, that I could see her skin turning red. I had always known that Quinn disliked people touching him
I smirked in amusement, watching them. I was no longer scared of the bullies, I was not the same girl from years ago. I had spaced out them, the memories of the past flooding in. But I won’t let them do that again, I would show them who the boss was.
when I saw
“Mr Quinn, you’re hurting me.” She said, struggling to free herself from his grip. He let her go, and she fell straight to the floor, bruising her knees. The group of bullies gasped at this,
Carl rushed forward to help Elle up, she was already a crying mess
“Oh my! What just happened!!!” One gasped.
“Elle just got pushed by Mr Quinn!!” Another exclaimed.
“Where’s the owner of this place?” Carl shouted.
“I want to see
to see the owner of this f*cking restaurant. Is this how you treat customers, huh! He shouued.
By now, the other customers eating peacefully were presently facing us, murmuring.
“That should me.” I said, stepping forward
He looked at me mockingly and laughed.
“Is this some kind of joke to you, Anastasia?” He asked.
Seems like poverty has messed with your brain.” He continued.
“You asked for the owner and I answered, and you’re still spewing rubbish. I don’t tolerate bullies in my restaurants, it will be very good if you pack

your dogs and leave.” I said coldly, pointing to the door.
“Wow, it seems you’re finally mad. Look at what poverty has caused, making you spew rubbish. If you’re in need of money that bad, come spend some nights with me. You could get fifty thousand dollars and more, and besides you’ve grown curvier.” He said, licking his lips lecherously
I shook my head in disgust, both him and his girlfriend were the same. Elle was now crying more, hearing what Carl said. I’ve had enough, I walked towards him with the intent to slap him when he was suddenly sent flying.
It was Quinn, he had punched him. The whole place went silent, before they started gasping and murmuring. I was shocked. Quinn walked towards him and dealt him punch upon punch. My eyes widened as I rushed towards them and tried stopping Quinn.
“Please stop. Quinn, it’s enough. You’ll kill him!” I said, half yelling half begging
“Yes, that’s what I plan to do. He replied, his eyes cold..
I panicked as I watched Carl, who was bleeding profusely.
“Quinn, please stop” I said, holding his hands. That seemed to do the trick, as he left him. He brought out his phone and called someone.
-Stop all investments in the Sanders projects.” He said.
Carl stood him immediately as he heard this. He looked horrible, his face was swollen and his nose broken.
“No, no, no. I’m so sorry Mr Winfrey, I didn’t know you were the top investor in my father’s project, I take my words back. I’ll do whatever you want, please don’t stop the investment” He went on his knees, holding Quinn’s leg
I scoffed at this, to think I w
I was even feeling sorry for him. He wasn’t remorseful for how he treated me, he was only begging for his father’s business.
Quinn made another call again.
“Tell the Boleyn group to immediately stop all business they have with the Carlton’s, Adam’s, John’s and Ray’s corporation.”
I saw the fear in Elle and the other bullies eyes, they immediately went on their knees begging.
“Mr Winfrey, please have mercy, it wouldn’t happen again.”
chance.
“It was stupid of me to support Elle and Carl, I promise to cut all ties with them. Give my father’s company one more cl
They cried, begging.
Quinn scoffed, “I don’t need your hypocritical apologies.
“You came to her, to bully her in her restaurant. The disgusting audacity you had.” He said, pointing at me.
“Now, I want you all to crawl on your knees and beg for her forgiveness with your heads on the ground. If she forgives you, I might spare you. But if she doesn’t… You don’t want to know what will happen”
