“You are fired,”. The booming words that broke out of Grandpa Tony's mouth through the phone, left Valencia paralyzed in pristine trepidation. Blood rained out of her system as the words hit her eardrums. “Wh-what,” Valencia stammered. She couldn't believe her ears. Her ears were whizzing with these distasteful words. They were swirling in her mind like a tsunami. Her heart sank, and her hands started trembling. “Did I stutter,”? Grandpa Tony raised a question from the other side. His tone contains an unsaid portent. “You can't do this to me,” Valencia screeched. Hitting the table vase near her. It smashed to the floor, infringement into pieces. People nearby glance at her strangely, but she glares at her. They succumb away from their leaving her alone. Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest. She rubbed her clammy hands on her dress. Her phone almost slipped from her fingers. She still can't believe what she is hearing. “Try me,” Grandpa Tony asked in an incurable tone. Va

“You are fired,”. The booming words that broke out of Grandpa Tony's mouth through the phone, left Valencia paralyzed in pristine trepidation. Blood rained out of her system as the words hit her eardrums. Fear gripped her insides. Cold sweat glistening on her forehead. She hastily wiped it with her forearm. “Wh-what,” Valencia stammered. She couldn't believe her ears. Her ears were whizzing with these distasteful words. They were swirling in her mind like a tsunami. Her heart sank, and her hands started trembling. “Did I stutter,”? Grandpa Tony raised a question from the other side. His tone contains an unsaid portent. “You can't do this to me,” Valencia screeched. Hitting the table vase near her. It smashed to the floor, infringement into pieces. People nearby glance at her strangely, but she glares at her. They succumb away from their leaving her alone. All these years in this office, she has a tight grip on all the employees. Feeding them shits about how she is the next boss and

Valencia stilled at his answer. She has never told anyone about her family or anything related to them. She was frustrated. Not only that, but she can't understand why a servant is calling her and telling her that she is fired. Furthermore, she has always taken orders from him, but it was more like opinion in business matters. Likewise, she thought he was important in Sigmund's family, but later she discovered he was not. Gazing at herself in the mirror, an ugly smirk appeared on her face. Looks like she has to throw this cloak for being fake two-goody shoes. “You are smarter than I thought of, you old hag,” Valencia taunted through the phone. Her eyes were twinkling with fury and destruction. Grandpa Tony's forehead scrunched in confusion at her change of tone.

THREE YEARS AGO: AT SIGMUND'S MANSION:It was Gabriel's birthday when his life turned upside down. Elijah pressed his hand to his chest in pain. Gabriel was giving him medicine when someone hit him from behind.Gabriel grabbed his head and looked back. He couldn't see his face, covered with black covet. He fell to the floor and his vision went blurry. He saw that man putting something in Elijah's mouth, and then everything went blank. Gabriel woke up with a gasp as a bucket of water was splashed over him. He lifted his foggy eyes to see that all his family members were standing before him with murderous glares. “Grandfather,” Gabriel whispered. “He is alive. You did your best to kill him right,”? Gabriel's cousin, Noah, sneered at him. “I di-didn't do anything,” Gabriel said, standing up. “Tell me why you did it. For property,” Gabriel's uncle growled at him. Accusations were thrown over him from every angle. They didn't listen to anything and kicked him out of the house. Gabrie

Olivia dragged Gabriel with her all the way to the other living room. All the family members were following closely. Tristiny and Kyla had an evil smile adorned on their faces. Amelia's face was expressionless, not a single emotion was shown on her face. Olivia jerked Gabriel harshly, and he fell on the floor near her foot. He hit his head on the pointed edge of the marble table. Hissing in pain, Gabriel closed his eyes and took a deep breath to subtle the pain. Touching the spot, Gabriel looked at his fingers to see blood on them. He gazed at them and saw they all had made a circle around him. “This is where you belong,” Adam said, smirking evilly. “In our foot,” Tristiny said, and stood on Gabriel's hand with her tapered heels. He screamed in pain and tried to take his hand away, but Tristiny pressed harder. Tears streamed down from his eyes, not only from pain, but also from opprobrium. Gabriel gritted his teeth and pushed Tristiny away. Not expecting it, Tristiny stumbled bac
