All of Morel's childhood memories came flooding back into his mind, making him dizzy and tormented. He remembered Merian Spencer, his father, a rigorous man who never gave him any love. Merian always demanded Morel to be perfect, strong, and tough just so he could fulfill the expectations of being the next head of the Spencer family. However, the demands did not stop at words. His father often used violence to 'educate' Morel without caring about the scars, both physical and emotional, he left behind.Whenever Morel failed to live up to his father's standards, physical and mental torture came without mercy. He remembered how small he used to be, always living in the shadow of fear of Merian's anger. The beatings, shouts, and disappointed looks from his father were part of his daily life as if love and acceptance were things he didn't deserve.Morel remembers the dark days in this villa when he was a child and often faced the wrath of his father, Merian Spencer. One day, he had just re

"Master Morel, I've brought the financial report that needs your signature..." Doris' voice sounded low but expectant as he stood at the door of Morel's room. He waited anxiously, hoping that Morel would respond. However, only silence answered him.After a moment, Doris continued, trembling slightly, "Master, please... I'm apprehensive. You haven't been out for a week. You need rest and care." But still, there was no answer. Reluctantly, Doris left the documents in front of Morel's bedroom door, as he had done many times before. This week, he took over all of Morel's work, from the simplest to the most urgent. However, his burden was getting heavier and heavier, not just because of the job but because his concern for Morel was becoming unstoppable.Every day, he tried everything possible to get Morel to open up. In fact, several times, he brought a doctor to examine his master's condition, but the results were always the same. Morel always refused angrily, chasing them out of his roo

Marisa was silent momentarily, her heart breaking to see Morel in this state. But she didn't want to give up. "All right, Morel," she said softly, trying to contain her emotions. "I will go out... but I will come to this house often. I'll wait until you're willing to talk to me until you're ready to tell me what happened."Without waiting for an answer, Marisa got up slowly, stepping towards the door. However, she wouldn't really leave Morel alone. She knew that behind the coldness and distance Morel created, there was something weighty that the man had to deal with.Marisa sat in her office with both hands supporting her face, her eyes blankly staring at the documents scattered across the desk. But it was all meaningless. Her mind kept returning to Morel, trapped in an increasingly suffocating worry. The image of the man sitting alone in a dark room, his face a mess, as if alienated from the world, haunted every corner of his mind."What happened to you, Morel?" he whispered softly,

Marisa felt the tension in the air as Morel's every word seemed to carry an enormous weight. "What do you remember?" she asked, trying to break the painful silence.Morel looked at Marisa with a deep, burdened gaze. "You want to know what I really remember?" He said quietly, his voice hoarse. "I'm just the son of Merian Spencer."Marisa looked at his confused, waiting for further explanation."Merian Spencer, my father, was a man who had been discarded by the Spencer family. He was considered a failure- someone who didn't deserve to be part of this family," Morel continued, his voice getting lower. "So, if my father is a failure, how could I become the Spencer family's main heir?"Marisa was surprised to hear that. She had never known this side of Morel, and this information shocked her. "But, Morel, even if your father is banished, that doesn't mean you're not worthy," she said, trying to soothe.Morel shook his head bitterly. "No, it doesn't. You don't understand, Marisa. I grew up

After a few days of Morel's departure, Doris tried hard to cover up everything that happened. He realized that if others found out about Morel's situation, the repercussions could be devastating, both for the Spencer family and for Morel himself. Doris took over all the work left behind by Morel, struggling to keep things running.However, the burden was overwhelming. He felt torn between his responsibilities as an assistant and his concern for Morel. Every day, he faced piles of paperwork and schedules to complete while pretending that everything was fine. Fortunately, Marisa appeared as a light in the darkness, helping him with various tasks. He sighed heavily and asked himself, "How did things get this complicated?" He realized the repercussions could be devastating if other people learned about Morel's situation.Marisa was also worried about Morel's condition, and her presence helped to ease Doris' burden. They worked together, sharing each other's burdens, trying to keep this s
