Chapter 001: Insults"Terry, this is your salary."Terry, who was daydreaming in the corner of the room, gasped in surprise when his name was called. His eyes blinked for a few moments, regaining the focus that had been lost. Quickly, he walked up to Jake, the manager at his workplace.Terry took the envelope from Jake's hand with a sense of pleasure. A faint smile was etched on his lips. He quickly put the envelope into his shabby pants pocket."Thank you, Mr. Jake,""You're welcome," Jake smiled slightly. He tapped Terry's shoulder quite hard. It made Terry, who was going home, stop his steps."What is it again, Mr. Jake?" asked Terry politely. "Do you need anything?""No, I don't. I just wanted to remind you. Don't forget the extra work tonight." Jake paused his words for a moment and nudged Terry's arm like an old friend."FYI, I think you're about to be promoted by our boss to a full-time position."Terry's face looked surprised to hear that. His pointed eyes were rounde

Chapter 003: Two Consecutive EventsTerry held his breath as Meghan fought him back. His breathing became heavy. The emotions he had been holding back were ready to break loose at any moment. His face turned red, and his fists grew stronger, until his nails cut into his palms."What?!""I don't want to live with a poor man like you! I want a divorce!"Terry's chest felt squeezed as the horrible words came out of Meghan's mouth. The joints in his body turned to jelly, too shocked by his wife's request. "What? Why are you asking for a divorce? Wasn't it in the wedding vows that you would say- ""I'm asking for a divorce!" said Meghan was quick. She walked over to the drawer at the side of the bed and took something from there. It was a divorce paper. "Sign this. That way, I can get away from you!" Meghan threw the divorce papers in Terry's face, as well as the pen.Terry picked up the paper in disappointment. His hands shook as he read the contents of the paper. And to add in

Chapter 005: The Trap "Eh? How did you know?"Terry rounded his eyes, realizing his words. His heart was beating faster than usual. His face looked pale, more so than before. His body froze for a few seconds. In addition, sweat the size of corn kernels began to flow from her temples. Terry covered his mouth with the palm of his hand. His eyes moved restlessly with a panicked facial expression. Gosh, what did he say to that stranger?Terry turned his face the other way with reddened ears, feeling ashamed of himself for acting carelessly. "Sorry, I misspoke."Ben smiled slightly, then looked at Terry with a probing gaze. "Really?""Yes," Terry answered briefly, not wanting to argue any longer."Well, that's too bad." Ben sounded disappointed. His voice sounded much lower compared to before. "I was looking for the youngest son of the Walter family. I thought you were the one. But you're not?"Curiosity now filled Terry's heart. He turned his head until he met Ben's gaze, who

Chapter 007: The Trainor Family (1) Ben came out of the bathroom after his business with Steve was over. He glanced at the fancy watch on his wrist. It was 8.15 p.m. That meant Steve had been on the phone for an hour!Ben immediately ran towards his desk, afraid that Terry would leave him. Moreover, he had not been able to get close enough to convince the man to take him home to Walter's family.If this happened, then the mission he was on would fail. And he would have to suffer dire consequences from Mr. Walter. Moreover, the family had its weaknesses.Once at his desk, Ben breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Terry still sitting there. With two glasses of juice and a coffee cup that looked empty."Ah, thank goodness you are still here."Terry glared at Ben. His hands were folded over his chest, and his jaw tightened. "What took you so long?""There are some things I need to take care of with my coworkers." Ben said it in a friendly tone. He sat back in his chair and drank t

Chapter 009: Family Members After taking Terry back to his apartment, Ben drove his car towards his headquarters. He drove his car at a moderate speed. In less than 10 minutes, Ben arrived at a forest that was far from the residential area. He stored his favorite Porche car in one of the places he had marked, considering that the car would not enter the path he was about to take."Hah, sometimes I'm too lazy to come to the base because the access is so bad," Ben grumbled. He took his phone out of his pocket and turned on his flashlight for light, then started walking towards the path that stretched about 200 meters ahead.As soon as he reached an old building, Ben entered it without permission. He took off his shoes and put them on the shelf beside the door. The inside of the building was very different from the outside."You're late for our appointment," commented someone who was currently focused on the computer in front of him. His pointed, fox-like eyes were focused on th
