Charles Ballmer pulled out his gun and began hitting the container forcefully."Shut up!" Charles ordered authoritatively, his voice sounding very intimidating.The voices of the women inside the container immediately fell silent upon hearing Charles Ballmer's voice. It was quite obvious that they were very afraid of that monster.Curtis was horrified, but he had to continue pretending to be there. Charles Ballmer was a very dangerous guy, and the last thing Curtis wanted was for him to become suspicious."I guess we can proceed with the shipment now," Charles Ballmer said."Y-yes... of course," Curtis replied, stuttering.Curtis gave the order, and a huge crane began to lift the container onto the ship. The screams were agonizing and made Curtis's skin crawl.Still, Curtis stood there pretending to smile, barely managing to ignore those screams that sounded like a rock concert."I'm glad I didn't kill you that day Joseph defended you," Charles said suddenly as he watched the containe

The limousine driven by Baxter stopped right in front of the beach. The Stone pier awaited the Stanton family with an elegant yacht prepared especially for them."We're here!" Curtis exclaimed, being the first to step out of the limousine.Ander was the second to descend, and a special sparkle could be seen in his eyes. It was the first time in his life seeing a yacht."Wow!" Ander exclaimed, his mouth agape."Do you like it?" Curtis asked, placing his hand on Ander's shoulder."I thought these kinds of boats were only seen in movies," Ander smiled in amazement."Can't I just stay in the limousine?" Ágata asked irritably once she got out of the limousine. "It's too hot. At least the limousine has air conditioning.""Don't be boring, Ágata. We'll have a great time," Curtis insisted.Ágata shielded her eyes from the sunlight with her hands, her face reflecting little enthusiasm."I need a drink," Ágata said."It's the most luxurious yacht in the world. It has air conditioning, a liquor

After the small incident between Beth and Ámbar, there was silence on the yacht for the rest of the trip. Everyone kept their distance and remained quiet after that near-death scare. Ámbar was literally on the brink of death. The only person laughing and seemingly enjoying the trip was precisely Beth, and the only person sticking close to her was precisely Charles Ballmer."You're truly wicked," Charles said as he laughed."That damn gold digger thinks she's so important just because she married Carson. That doesn't change the fact that she's poor," Beth responded, referring to Ámbar disdainfully, "she'll never be on our level."Beth pulled out a cigarette and placed it in her mouth with the intention of smoking it."I think we should have met a long time ago," Charles said as he lit Beth's cigarette with his pocket lighter.Meanwhile, outside the yacht, Carson and Curtis took care of Ámbar as she recovered from that dreadful scare.Ámbar sat in a chair while Carson rubbed her with

There was a lot of tension on that boat as it approached the island. Curtis never thought it would be so difficult to gather the Stanton family on the same yacht without any problems.At the same time, Ander was very excited about the idea of finally being accepted by his brothers. It was the first time he didn't feel excluded from the rest and that Agatha, Carson, and Campbell acknowledged him. He couldn't wait to shake off the label of 'Joseph Stanton's illegitimate son'."I'm curious to know what the initiation ritual is about," Ander said, very excited.Agatha was distracted looking in all directions. Campbell had been gone for half an hour and hadn't returned."What? ... Oh, yes, of course. The ritual. Don't worry, it's just something we'll do among siblings. It'll be quick, and I assure you, you'll enjoy it," Agatha assured him while still looking for Campbell.Just then, Campbell entered through the main door of the huge yacht. He was still a little drunk, his steps were unstea

Ander clenched his fists tightly due to anger. His nails cut into the flesh of his palms, making them bleed a little. Tears crystallized in his eyes, wanting to escape, but he somehow managed to hold back the urge to cry.He was trembling with rage at the feeling of helplessness that engulfed him. He couldn't do anything as his brothers sailed away on that boat, mocking him and calling him a bastard. It was the greatest humiliation he had ever experienced, and it was also a very clear indicator that they would never accept him as part of the family.It didn't matter that Joseph had given him his last name before he died. Ander would never be a Stanton. There was still too much goodness in his heart, and to belong to that family, one had to be heartless and ruthless. Even Curtis had been losing his good side and had been doing deplorable things."I promise you, they will pay for this," Ander vowed, even though no one could hear him, and he was completely alone.Now he just had to worry
