The next morning.Russell woke up early, because it was pretty cold outside. He stretched his body a bit and began to jog to heat his body up. In about twenty minutes, he worked out enough to combat the cold. He was not shivering anymore.He bought carrots from a market and was washing them near a tap. A shirtless old man was shivering on the side. He seemed homeless, but Russell only had one shirt with him, so he offered a carrot and a ten dollar note to the old man before resuming his aimless walk.He went past the burger shops and other fast food centers that were yet to open up. But the street dogs were eating the spoils from the garbage cans in the back. They growled at him as he was going past them.“I don’t have enough money to rent a house, let alone stay in a hotel,” he thought, completely ignoring the dogs. “Charlotte said she’d send me the documents, but since she didn’t, I guess she got all the necessary documents from Liam already?” He pursed his lips. “The prenuptial agr

The old man, Tom, woke up in the middle of the night because his wife, Rachel, was screaming that thieves were stealing things. However, there were no thieves. Even though Tom repeatedly told her that, she would still cower and even pee in her bed from fear.Rachel had many health issues. Alzheimer’s was one of those. She didn’t remember who Tom was. She didn’t even remember her own name. All she would do for most of the day was look at the garden through the window. And every time she would wake up from her sleep, she would act like a different person.Tom tried everything he could. From modern medicine to eastern medicine, he had tried everything with the money he had, but nothing worked. In fact, things were on decline because she was also aging really fast.There were many that told Tom to euthanize her because he was also growing too old to take care of her. However, he couldn’t agree to such a thing.Now, after calming Rachel down, Tom lost all of his sleepiness, so he came outs

The life on the street that night proved to be a tiring one for Russell. He had to fight a dog as well as a couple of strangers who came to him with ill intentions.Russell was no longer wearing a suit, which he had left at Tyler’s house. So, naturally, people were giving him different looks when he was sitting alone out in the street.He didn’t know when he fell asleep, but when he woke up the next morning, there was a paper bag next to him, with food and drinks inside. He looked around but couldn’t see anyone in particular that might have helped him.Though the thought that the food might be poisoned crossed his mind, he was already quite hungry because he hadn’t eaten in almost 24 hours, so he put his fears and doubts aside and finished his meal. There was still an extra burger left, and he left it with the dog that had attacked him the previous night. The dog happily picked the burger with its mouth and danced as it ran down the footpath.Russell put his hands in his pockets and w

“You what?” Charlotte was shocked by her daughter’s response. “I get that a lot has happened recently, but how can you say that you don’t want to marry again and have children?”“I have read a fantasy book recently, and the main characters in it are immortal,” Kyra calmly stated. “They view sex as a very basic thing and don’t let the opposite sex influence their mind. After reading that book, I realized that sex is so overrated in our world.”“Most of the businesses in the world run by that, whether in the open or in secret,” Charlotte bluntly said. “It’s not that people don’t know that too much sex is a bad thing, but it’s just that most people are not strong enough to resist the temptations the modern world provides everywhere. Forget about the rest, but I don’t want you to take such an important decision after reading some random fantasy book! My ‘Supreme Bank’ needs a successor, and all the money you’re going to earn needs someone to look after you grow old and pass away. At least

Tom and Russell helped each other by being together. Tom helped teach about the secret symbols used in the media to predict the results of not just professional sports but also politics. Russell realized without Tom even specifically telling him just how rigged the people in high places were. This gave him a whole new perspective about the world.On the other hand, Russell helped the college kids clear in any way possible. Russell was not good with his studies, but that was changing now because he was able to understand Tom’s lessons as well as the brightest children in the class. The difference was that he was many years older than them.After the classes finished, Russell bragged with Tom. “If I take exams like IELTS, or TOEFL right now, I think I’ll do really well. My IQ has definitely improved from staying with great people these past few months. Now, staying with you is also making me smarter, at least education-wise.”“Well, I’m glad you think that way,” Tom was a man of few wor
