“What is going on here? You must be making a mistake. What did I steal?” Eric frowned. He didn't understand why the police would appear out of nowhere and start accusing him.“Are you messing with us or what? Did you pay for these clothes you are carrying?” Another snarled. “Yes, my brother-in-law has paid for these clothes. I didn't steal anything.” Eric tried to explain, but little did he know that he was making the situation worse.The policemen became infuriated by this. They caught him red-handed yet he was lying.“Where is the receipt for the clothes?” Another asked him, but he was left speechless by the question.He looked around only to find people taking pictures of him. He frowned. It was like taking a nail to the chest, but that didn't stop him from trying to prove his innocence.“My brother in law is still in the shop. Let me get him.” Eric wanted to return to the store when he heard a gunshot.Pak!A spot near his foot was shot. If he had moved, his feet would be left wi

Eric walked along the road thinking about the whole thing. It was so good to be real. He was just a man with no background, ever since his mom died, he lost the will to live. If not for his wife who married him, he could have been on the street.How could someone like him be the heir to Juan Manuel's company? Shouldn't that be wrong? “Isn't that the person we saw on the video? That same guy who stole those clothes from the shopping mall?”“Yes, that's him. Look how dirty-looking he is. Such a fool. He couldn't resist stealing and even had the guts to do that in broad daylight? Has he no shame?” “Why did the police let him go? You better stay away from him before you lose your purse.”Some women kept muttering among themselves while staring at Eric with disgust on their faces. They also made sure to keep their distance and hold on to their bag tightly, thinking if they blinked Eric would separate them from it.“Get away from here, thief.” An old man said and tossed rotten food at hi

Smiling, Eric walked into a nearby store and bought a necklace that was worth even more. Everyone was startled by his actions and was pushed to watch each of his movements. No one expected he would do such a thing to the sales girl.After she had successfully removed all the expensive items from the showcase, he walked out on her. Now all the stress she went through was for waste.“Look at what you've caused!” The manager yelled angrily after watching Eric walk into the other shop and was now walking out with a piece of jewelry. That sale could have been made by him, yet the sales girl made things worse.“I am sorry, sir. I didn't mean to…”“You are dismissed!” He cut her off and angrily walked out.Meanwhile, Eric was walking down the road admiring the piece of the necklace he bought when suddenly a thought crawled into his head. Quickly he pulled out the card again and dialed Damien's number.“Hello, young master,” Damien said over the phone happily after picking up.“Can you do som

Damien drove Eric to a mansion, after which the latter told him he wanted to see everything about his family. Damien was overjoyed as he handled the steering wheel into a mansion. After all these years, he finally had the opportunity to bring the young master home.The exterior of the mansion was grand and impressive with sweeping lawns, tall windows, and decorated with many patterns. The wall itself looks like it was built with gemstones. One can see his reflection from the walls alone.The car drove by a fountain and parked. Eric walked out and kept staring like he was taken to heaven. The place was beyond what words could describe, as he was more than fascinated. “This is your father's house, which is now yours,” Damien said after seeing how awestruck the lad was.“And it's just one of the properties he owned. There is more. I can show you one after the other if you like.” Damien was brimming with happiness as he explained.“Wow,” Eric explained and walked alongside Damien to the

Meanwhile, down the outskirts of the city.Samantha was inside the house trying to prepare a meal when she heard a knock on the door. Thinking it was Eric, she quickly rushed towards the door and opened it.To her wildest surprise, who she saw wasn't him, but someone she never expected.“Micheal? What are you doing here?” She gasped in shock. “Did something happen to Eric?” she asked after noticing he was with so many men dressed in suits.But then there was one among them who stood out. He was standing just beside Micheal with a smile on his face. He had long curly hair that was tied into a bun. His appearance alone reels of riches.“No. Eric is fine. We are just here to see you.” Micheal smiled, but she gave him a stiff look. He had never visited ever since she married Eric, and now he was here to talk to her. For what?“Won't you let us in? Do you want to leave your brother standing by the door?” Michael smiled.Sighing, Samantha paved the way for them to walk in. But then she neve
