Chapter 11After he finished, he invited all the family and he walked to to usual place in the kitchen to eat his lunch. His wife called him.“Michael!” She called, her voice calm. And Michael immediately paid attention to her as she continued. “I don't want you to be going out of the house again. You'll stay at home and do all the house chores because I can't be going out to work and when I return home there will be nothing in the house to eat.And you know that I don't like eating by this hour of the day.”“I understand and I'm sorry for everything but what if your proposal with Golden Group of Companies gets approved, will you still allow me to go out?” He asked.Rose thought about it for a while before answering him. Meanwhile, the whole family was all quite enjoying the meal leaving the husband's and wife's conversation.“Maybe. But you know that won't be possible because I doubt if they will.”“Okay.” He said and walked back to the kitchen.Half an hour later, they finished eat

Chapter 13“What? Why, Grandma? Is it because of this good-for-nothing man?” She pointed at Michael.“Whatever you choose to call him. All I know is I'm going nowhere if he isn't going with us.” Isabella said with seriousness written on her face and took her seat on the couch.Seeing his family in a disagreement made Michael worried and he walked to Grandma Isabella, trying to bring peace. He didn't want the family to be in hatred just because of him. “Grandma.” He called out and hung his hand on her shoulder. “Please, go with them and celebrate. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Just go with them.” He said, feeling pained inwardly. But she retorted. “No. I'm going nowhere if they aren't going to take you along. It's unfair for them to be treating you like you don't exist at all. What offense have you committed that is making them treat you this way? For God's sake, it's bad.”A tiny tear began to drop down from Michael's eyes, hearing how Isabella spoke. Her words always made him

Chapter 15 Rose quickly stood up as she looked at the man who seemed to be at the age of 21 standing at the doorpost. She couldn't believe her eyes as she stared at him. He was her long former classmate and his name was Fred Maxwell. They had both attended the same school from primary up to higher institutions. But he traveled outside the country and his reason for that was unknown because he didn't tell anyone. He was not even that brilliant type but he had always lavished money on the campus because his parents were rich. He once had a crush on Rose during their school days. And here he is, he has finally returned. But what does he want? “It's you, Fred,” Rose screamed as she jumped onto him, giving him a tight hug that she had never given to her husband. The matter on the ground became nothing because it seemed like their savior had arrived. Fred smiled, his voice calm. “It's me.” He held her hand softly and they entered inside. Michael stared angrily at how Fred held

Chapter 17 Michael got up the stairs and walked past the first room door which belonged to Grandma Isabella and he continued walking. But when he was about to walk past the second room door which belonged to his mother-in-law and father-in-law, he overheard a conversation and it wasn't nice at all. “Fred told me that he will be spending some days with us and you must do everything to make him yours. Once it's done, then you can divorce that thing you called husband.” Maria whispered. Her voice smirks. “Mom, I can't do that to Michael. I know that I despised him a lot but I don't want to break his heart.” “Heart, you say?” Stephen chimed in, his voice still in a whisper but full of contempt. “Does he have a heart? He had broken our hearts already. Do you know how I felt ashamed in front of Cho and his bodyguards earlier, do you? If not for God who brought Fred at the right time, do you know where we all have been?” The conversations within the family were all coming out as whi

Chapter 19 He didn't complete what he wanted to say when Rose out of anger gave him a resounding slap on the cheek. “Just shut up.” She yelled and slapped him on the right cheek which turned his face backward because of how forceful it came. “I can't believe you're like this, Michael.” A hint of disappointment ran through her face after she believed Fred's bunch of lies. “I only thought you were poor and kind-hearted, never did I know you're such a cold-hearted man. If someone had told me that you're like this I would have probably defended you but today you have shown me your true color. Just get out, I don't want to see you, you're a green snake in green grasses.” She hit him on the chest, pushing him away. “Rose! You're overreacting, you should hear from him also before concluding. He also has something to say. Allow us to hear from him.” Grandma Isabella said interrupted and defensively, not believing any single word that Fred had said. She knew Michael could never s
