"Today, I stand before you to announce the newest addition to our family." Lloyd Kingston started, speaking to the multitude of guests present.Micheal leaned in, waiting for his name to be spoken, to finally be acknowledged. For three years, he had been married to Lloyd's daughter, Melissa Kingston, but he had always been treated like a piece of shit. He was never allowed in family gatherings neither did anyone consider him as one of the Kingstons.But tonight, Melissa herself had invited him to this dinner hosted by the Kingstons. The family must be ready to finally embrace him. His chest swelled with hope, his name on the tip of his tongue."I would love to announce a special someone to you all tonight. The one who has won the heart of my princess, Melissa" Lloyd added as he smiled brightly. Melissa could not help but grin wildly as she looked at her father."My one and only son-in-law would come up the stage to join us now. " He continued and Michael could not help but feel so hap

"That is not possible." Micheal refuted flatly. "My grandfather would never wish for this. He would rather sell it all and give the money to the orphanage than allow it to go this way."Attorney Benedict responded with a smirk. "Your father? You seem to forget where you belong, Micheal. The orphanages. Mr Martins saw you as just another charity case."His words were spoken with a cold sting, piercing into Micheal's heart and causing deep pain. Mrs Kingston and her son could be heard laughing in mockery, happy that Micheal had been disgraced like that by his foster father's lawyer."If you have nothing else to say, you can step out now. We are quite busy right now as you can see."Benedict showed him the door. Micheal could not believe it. The man his father trusted with all his life and properties had been bought away by the deceitful games of the Kingstons. He was going to give possession of everything to them!"This is not right..." He mumbled, still unable to come to terms with thi

"I'm guessing that would be your former wife on the phone." Alegria Colwill noted as Micheal replaced his phone into his pocket.Former wife? Micheal scoffed. His divorce with Melissa was only a few days ago, but it seemed like everybody knew about it already. Even the ever busy Alegria Colwill."Stop with the pity face. I had to make my research about you before coming out here." Alegria added, noticing the look of surprise that Micheal wore.She was indeed a perfect beauty, with the confidence of a tigress and an aura of class. There was no way she would naturally take heed to lazy rumors be it from other people's lips or from the news channels. Especially since the story was about the Kingstons who were far lower than the Colwills in the ranking of the class of families.Besides, Micheal realized that there was not much connection between the Colwills and the Imperials. The Imperials were way above the level of the Colwills as it was with anybody else, but he could not understand

Realizing that the man whom he ordered to be taken care of by Peter Anderson might be the heir to the Imperial holdings, Leo Dane scrambled his way towards his own gate, his tail between his legs."Where is he?!" He screamed at the security men. None of them could grasp what he meant at once."Sir.. who.. who are you talking about...?"Agitated, he grabbed one of them by the collar and dragged him closer. "The strange man who wanted to see me, where is he now?"His voice held a dark glint, sufficient enough to ring the bell of memories. "The low life? Mr Anderson asked us to get rid of him as soon as we were done teaching him a lesson. Just as you asked."Leo Dane's eyes furrowed in rage. What have they done? To Michael Imperial? To Albert Imperial's grandson?! He knew for sure he was in trouble now, and all this was because of that one dumb man - Peter Anderson."That son of a bitch!!"He dragged the poor security man even closer by his collar. "Go out there now and find that stran

" Peter, what just happened?" Melissa asked immediately she noticed Peter stopped the car. He reversed and packed by the side of the road.She knew that the very short conversation he had just had with his father didn't turn out well." What's going on Peter, answer me? What did he say happened?" She asked again, the tension palpable in the air that instant as she noticed her husband's formerly happy demeanor contort into a frown." I don't know Melissa, I don't know!" He said, raising his voice. " I don't even understand why my dad is mad" " He told me to find a solution to the problem I caused"" Problem?" Melissa asked shocked " What problem? We've just met the personal assistant to the chairman himself. This man also holds a great position in Imperial Holdings, how could there be a problem?"And, we've got proofs too. Didn't you tell him?" Melissa asked." How could I when he hung up already before I even got the chance to say Jack Robinson" Peter muttered." W.. what's going on
