For the first time in his life, Robert actually felt good about himself. He looked down, again at the debit card sitting in his lap so carelessly and breathed deeply. Happiness was evidently written all over his face. His bright, blue eyes beamed in delight, illuminating his dark skin as he smiled heartily. "I know it has been a long and incredibly tasking day for you, my child. So I believe it is necessary that you get some rest." His grandfather proposed in concern. And he was right. Robert was way beyond tired, after all the torturing he had encountered in the cell, he really needed to get some rest."I could mistake you for a mind reading shaman, grandfather." His chuckles filled the room as he alighted from his seat. "I am really tired.""Funny boy. You're just like your father, cracking jokes no matter what the situation at hand might be." The smile on Jude's face melted in to a long, sad expression as memories of his late son came to mind. His eyes searched the place immediatel

Robert laid there, still with his eyes fixed to the ceiling for few minutes. He had to digest everything he was seeing and actually believe it was all his. It was just unbelievable to him how fast the table turned in his favour. He stood up after a while, walking around the large room, admiring everything in it. He went into the restroom and his eyes lit up at its wonderful setting. The door was made of glass, that couldn't be looked through from the outside. Inside, there was a huge mirror that could be seen when one just walked in, the toilet seat sat at the other side of the room, with a wash bowl just close by. A little door there opened up to a neatly arranged bathroom with a nice shower. Far from the shower laid an extremely huge bathtub, almost the size of a jacuzzi. Robert smiled in disbelief, yet happiness as he walked back out. There, he noticed a bit box fixed to the wall, which he had missed when he first came in and inside it, were warm, cozy towels. Does this just get be

"Thank you so much, grandfather." Robert stood up to head back to his room. Looking at his grandfather, he was glad once more that he finally had someone close enough to be seen as a father figure."It's just food, Robert. It's nothing." Jude replied gently. He was also done eating but wanted to sit a while before going to bed."No, grandfather. Not just for the food but for everything. Thank you so much." He said once again. His voice, solemn and filled with genuine gratitude."You're welcome, my child. And thank you too." Jude smiled at his grateful nature. "You're going to bed now, l see. Get ready tomorrow, I have a surprise for you." Robert nodded gently, his face beaming with smiles. "Goodnight, my child." "Goodnight, grandfather." Robert smiled, as he turned and walked away. He wondered what Jude had in store for him as he headed to his room. Raymond had left him soon after pointing out the dinning room. Robert waltzed graciously to his room, gliding like a peacock, head high

"Funny? You think that's funny?" Grandfather asked, his face a deep frown that cut downwards through the fine lines that decorated his face. "There is nothing funny about what happened to you. You weren't supposed to go through all that and I feel sad about it. I'm really sorry. I still don't understand why your father never told me about you and your mother. I would have reached out, but all that doesn't matter anymore now, does it?""I guess it doesn't matter anymore. I just hope whatever reasons dad had for hiding us were actually reasonable. You had to see how wretched I looked, how unkempt I was. It was really hard with a father, but it became worse with mother gone as well." For Robert, this was some kind of therapy. He had never really opened up to anybody about it, so it created pent up anger and pain whenever something made him remember. But here he was, saying it out freely without any restrictions or concern. Something he never knew he needed. "Losing mother was hard, worse

As soon as he got home, he went up to his Grandfather's room, presenting the suit he had gotten him."Look what I got for you, grandfather. It sure would looked nice and I'm hoping it's just your size." Robert felt good, not just good but very happy."I already have a ton of suits, my child. I could have just used one of them for the event. You didn't have to. All that money was for you to get yourself things, not me." Jude was smiling, his wrinkles looked just perfect on his old cheeks."Well, I insist, grandfather. It's a new dawn for us all, so you more than certainly deserve a new suit." Jude laughed at his enthusiasm."Okay, my child. It's really nice though. I like it. Thank you.""Well, I'm super glad you like it. I'll have the maids bring you some food. I'll be in my room."Hailey sent some samples not long after and Robert was duly impressed. Although he needed something classier. He sent her the money and the preparations fully kick-started. Robert felt extremely anxious. Th
