“Don’t worry mom, I am not doing anything bad. Trust me”He assured his mother.Then he thought for a moment before he continued,“Mom, I’ll go to uncle Mathew tomorrow to get the money I lent the family. While I’m there, I’ll completely cut my ties with them. When we get back to Veridonia, I’ll hire a visiting nurse to help you and dad.”“Why would you throw your money away like that? Your father and I aren’t old to the point that we would need help to take care of ourselves.”Then his mother’s face looked worried,“Kevin, will Lily be ok with letting us live with you? If she isn’t willing, you mustn’t force her. Don’t let us get in the way of your marriage.”“Mom, don’t worry. My wife is very down to earth and understanding.”Kevin said with a smile.He wasn’t worried about Lily objecting at all because he knew she would definitely agree.But even if she didn’t agree, Kevin could just buy another apartment for his parents to live in.Money was the least of his problems right now.Ka

“But it helps that you’ve already put in so much effort in your well-being. Some of these supplements require several doses but it looks like this one can help you with just a single pill.”Kevin said as he turned around in a circle.He stared at the front door and looked at Philip again,“How has things been for you since you moved in here?”He asked carefully.“Now that you mentioned it, my business was doing great when I built this place. But lately, it slowed down a little. I thought it was just the economy so I’ve just been trying harder. Why do you ask?” Archer was wondering what Kevin was getting at.“I recently set up an apartment in Veridonia and while I was decorating it, a friend of mine gave me an apartment on yin and yang energy.”“I’m usually not superstitious but please continue.”Kevin nodded and continued,“This is a beautiful mansion but something is not right.”Kevin pointed to the front door and said, ‘It looks to me like any positive energy that goes through the

“Kevin, why don’t we leave?” Lily said as she tugged on Kevin’s sleeve.Kevin was disappointed to hear her say this.He wanted to give her the finest things that money could buy.Just then, everyone heard a female voice ordering the associate,“Take this necklace out so I can try it on.”They looked over and an elegantly dressed woman carrying a limited Prada bag in her hand.When she walked over, she pointed at the necklace Lily wanted.“Ok, just a moment ma’am.” The associate said as she unlocked the case to remove the necklace for the woman.Kevin was irritated by this.“Didn’t you just say that you don’t allow anyone to try the jewelry on if they haven’t paid for it?” Kevin asked indignantly.“But, can you afford it?” she replied disdainfully.“I’ve seen a lot of people like you try this stunt. You just want to take a photo when you try it on and then post it online to impress your friends.” The associate said impatiently.“How much can someone like you earn in a year!? And wha

Suddenly, the young man said something to Ivy“Who said I want twenty-five thousand!? That was a mistake on my part. I want one million dollars for the bracelet, you still owe nine hundred and seventy-five thousand.”“Sir! How can you do this? I have already transferred the money to you and our transaction is complete.” Ivy said very unhappily.“Didn’t you hear what he said? The two bracelets together could worth at least three million!” The man greedily said.“Even though they are worn out, it has to worth at least one million.”Everyone started berating the man for going back on his word after agreeing on the price.The man didn’t care what they thought and said, “My price is one million. If you don’t want to pay that then the deal is off.”Ivy was getting more and more upset.From what Kevin had said, the bracelet would only have more value if it was paired with the original which has been lost hundred years ago.By itself, it was just a curiosity.“In that case, have our money t

When he got out of his car, Kevin shook his head in displease.The estate was located in the western subways towards the east.There were no buildings as far as the eyes could see which was really in this part of the city.It seemed like a farm land had been replaced by housing development.“Business must be good.” Kevin said to himself.After everyone sat on the sofa, Lily looked around the large peacefully decorated room.Then she asked with some hesitation, “President Anderson, why don’t you have any antiques in your home?”“It’s very simple.” Kevin said as the three women turned to look at him.“You know about this too?” Lily asked in surprise.“As it turns out I do.”“While Ivy’s family specializes in antiques, they prefer not to bring any of them home.” Kevin explained.“It may sound superstitious but they avoid bringing any of the objects into the house that might be… might be haunted.” he said very seriously. Lily and Monica had their doubts about this explanation.Lily sni
