Banished by the Deli Boss

For three years, Derek’s construction crew kept Mike’s Deli alive—until the owner slapped them with new charges and cold insults, treating them like beggars for needing a hot meal. Now, betrayed and humiliated, Derek faces a brutal choice: swallow his pride or take the whole crew elsewhere, knowing the only thing Mike values more than money is his own ego. But as secrets simmer and alliances shift, Mike doesn’t realize the dance academy across the street—the one he’s banking on—is run by Derek’s wife, and her students are about to vanish too.
