ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Angry Aunt
Madam Kiara kept giving Ansel dirty looks.Her daughter was about to get married to a rich man in the country but Samantha decided to settle for a man like Ansel.She didn't bother to hide her disgust for Ansel and made it obvious.However, Mr George knew that he had to thank Ansel in some way and so he invited him to eat lunch with them.Madam Kiara who was scrolling through her phone raised her head up immediately.She had prepared them a special lunch to celebrate her daughter's engagement and wouldn't want Ansel to have a taste of any of her meals.Food was expensive these few days and giving a man like Ansel seemed like a waste of food."The meals that I prepared can not feed all of us. I suggest that we only offer Samantha's boyfriend a glass of juice. That's a much better option. Brother George, don't forget that we are here to celebrate Ana's engagement to the one and only son of the Lugard family. We can't make Ana go hungry on her special day." Madam Kiara said, her words sh
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER A member of the Loan whales
They arrived at the restaurant and Ansel was greeted warmly.The workers at the Castillo's had recognized Ansel because their boss had instructed them to always treat Ansel with respect.They immediately led the way and took them to a VVIP room.Different meals were brought to the table and Ansel took his seat alongside Samantha.Everyone except Samantha was shocked, George's family were mostly shocked.Indeed Ansel had been telling the truth and he wasn't lying.Could it be that he also owned the limited edition car that was outside?Those questions were on their mind.Mr George smiled in his heart, Samantha had indeed seen a good boyfriend.He was starting to like Ansel already.While Ana, who was Madam Kiara's daughter, took pictures of the food, Samantha couldn't help but chuckle.Fred, who was also recovering, began eating as if he had been starved for days.Ansel was the only one who hadn't touched his meal.He watched as everyone ate quietly.Suddenly, the room was filled with
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER The leader arrives
"George is owing us some cash, he needs to pay or I won't leave." Snake Li tightened his fist and struggled to get back on his feet.He tried to hide his nervousness from Ansel even though he was clearly shaking.George cleared his throat, it was all his fault.He should have paid when he had the chance.Right now, he was going bankrupt and he didn't have any money with him.Mr George could only bow his head in shame, he didn't like the look of disbelief that Samantha gave him."How about I pay you some other time. Please, Snake Li, I don't have the money currently." George said in a pleading tone.When Snake Li heard his words, his eyes twitched involuntarily."You think I'm some kind of charity, George?" Snake Li snapped, his voice dripping with disdain. "You've had plenty of time to pay, but you've been dragging your feet. And now, all of a sudden, you don't have the money? Give me a break!"George's face turned a sickly shade of pale as he hung his head in shame. Samantha's gaze b
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Trying to take advantage of the situation
Ansel sighed as he stared at the two pitiful men.Justin even went ahead to clean off the dirt from Ansel's shoe with his shirt."George doesn't have to pay the money anymore, Master Ansel, the loan whales will not bother him again." Justin looked up to meet Ansel's gaze.He was more than willing to let George off the hook.If George knew a man like Ansel then it meant that he would be getting on Ansel's bad side if he bothered George.Though the money George owned the loan whales was much, he decided not to bother about it any more.Justin Li stood up from his squatting position, he wanted to say something but he didn't know if Ansel would get angry with him."Master Ansel, can I get your contact details? I want to pay back this huge favor. "Ansel listened to Justin Li's request for his contact information. He pondered for a moment, a subtle smirk playing on his lips. Finally, he spoke. "Very well, Mr. Li. You may have my contact details," he said, reaching into his pocket and retri
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Stunned?
"Thank you dad" Samantha said in a whisper.She almost felt like throwing a cover cloth over her face due to embarrassment.Seeing the serious expression on Ansel's face, Samantha couldn't figure out what he was thinking.'Young master Ansel probably thinks I have a weird family' Samantha thought to herself and sighed deeply.They soon stopped talking and the lunch was over.Madam Kiara didn't fail to take pictures and post them on her social media handles.It would be a shame to not capture the good moment.On their way out of the restaurant, Ana ran to Samantha's side."What if Mr Ansel foots the bills. That would also count as you doing me a favor. Please Samantha"Ana winked at her mother, Kiara, and then the middle-aged woman also joined and began speaking."Oh no Ana, Samantha should be the one to pay for it and not Mr Ansel. We don't want to bother him too much or do we?"Samantha's face became red and she met Ansel's gaze, time seemed to stop for a moment.In the presence of h
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Samantha's annoying cousin
The next day, Ansel left the suite early in order to visit grandfather Kian.Their engagement ceremony was about to take place and so he didn't want to miss any important information.Grandfather Kian invited him over for breakfast and so he couldn't miss it.Samantha was now the only one in the suite.She hid the dark circles under her eyes with the make-up brush and then went out to the parking lot.Standing beside the car was her cousin, Ana and Ana's fiance, Daniel.Samantha wasn't in the mood to talk to any of them, so she hopped into her car and waited for them to do the same.Ansel should be the one to choose the apartment but since he was not around, he instructed Samantha to get them the apartment.It was the last thing Samantha wanted to do but she didn't have a choice.The ride was quiet and soon they arrived at Crowley's Estate.Currently, the cheapest amount to rent a home in Crowley's estate was above one hundred million.Samantha still didn't know why Ansel had instruct
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER A gift for grandfather Kian
It was a normal day in the Castillo family.With grandfather Kian making jokes and the family getting entertained.Coincidentally, it was also grandfather Kian's birthday.Ansel was able to know this information because grandfather Kian's birthdate was written on the business card which he had given him.And so Ansel decided to get him a red wine as a gift.He couldn't think of anything other than that.Ansel got into the living room, he saw Thora presenting her gift to grandfather Kian in a very beautiful dress.A half smile appeared on his face, she was going to be his wife after all.Ansel walked confidently towards the dining table.They were all sitting around the dining table and Ansel thought to join them also."Happy birthday grandfather" Ansel said with a huge grin and grandfather Kian spread his arms wide open and invited Ansel for a hug.Grandfather Kian was so happy to see Ansel and even more happy when Ansel wished him a happy birthday.He hadn't expected Ansel to know ab
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Chris failed again
Ansel was a bit stunned by Thora's support. He hadn't expected it, especially because they never get along well.In response to Thora's support, Ansel cleared his throat to regain his composure. With a playful glint in his eye, he turned to Chris, offering a quick wink that showed a slight hint of mockery.Chris abruptly left the room, his frustration showing on his facial expression. The others exchanged glances, their postures tensing for a moment before the atmosphere returned back into its previous state and everyone started to discuss amongst themselves.After a while, Chris returned, still simmering with annoyance but maintaining enough control not to cause a scene."Fine," Chris uttered, his tone sharp as he took his seat. "If everyone else wants to accept Ansel, that's their business. But I won't stand for it. Ansel will never be my brother-in-law, and that's that." He punctuated his words with a series of irritated taps on the table, his fingers drumming out an angry rhythm.

"Have you forgotten the past so soon?"
"Father-in-law Luther," the older man’s voice cracked. He stood a few feet away with his shoulders slouched, looking smaller than anyone had ever seen him. "I wish... I wish I could bring her back, I really do. But I can’t. I know that now. It's all my fault and i apologize for my past mistakes." His eyes darted from grandfather Luther to Ansel. "Please, just let me prove I’m sorry. I want to be part of this family again. We need to live together as one. I want to be with my children again."The memories came flooding back for him. He remembered the day he had pushed his family out, standing there with his new wife and acting like he had won. He had believed he had everything under control, that with Ansel’s mother’s wealth, he could live a life of luxury. It was only now that he realized how much he had truly lost.If he had been patient enough, he would have gotten to find out that grandfather was a rich man. Even the car behind grandfather cost almost a hundred million dollars.M
Sobs
Ansel stepped out of the courthouse, the cool breeze of early morning ruffling his hair. The property that rightfully belonged to his mother was finally his again.He could still hear the judge’s voice echoing in his head in a calm but authoritative tone, “The court rules in favor of Ansel Luther, granting him full ownership of the property.”His lawyer had done exactly what Ansel had hired him for. No surprises there. With a lawyer of his caliber, victories like this were highly expected.But the image that stuck with Ansel the most was his stepmother’s face as the verdict was announced. She had fought hard to keep what didn’t belong to her, using every underhanded trick in the book, but now it was over.Another thing that was satisfying, though, was watching his father and stepmother's faces as reality hit them.As Ansel approached the garage, a sly grin tugged at the corner of his lips. He could still see the look of shock and outrage on his father’s face, too. His father's su
Courtroom
The morning sun passed through the tall windows of the courthouse, casting long shadows across the polished floor.Ansel stepped through the door, his polished shoes clicking softly as he walked down the aisle toward the front of the courtroom. He had chosen his outfit carefully, a tailored suit, crisp white shirt, and a dark tie that made him look every bit the man he had grown to become.As soon as he entered, heads turned, including those of his father and stepmother, who were seated across the room.His stepmother's brows furrowed when she saw him, her lips pursing in disapproval. Ansel didn’t acknowledge them. Instead, he walked toward the plaintiff’s seat with a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. The kind of smirk that said he had been waiting for this moment. His father, seated a few rows behind the defense table, leaned over to whisper something to his wife. He noticed how his stepmother hissed under her breath, clearly displeased.‘They think I spent my last
Kool Kat Klub
In front of the bar, two bulky bodyguards stood with arms crossed, their eyes scanning the crowd for any sign of trouble. The KKK(Kool kat Klub) Bar had a reputation, and they were there to make sure the wrong kind of people didn’t get in without paying for access.Ansel walked up to the door, handed one of the guards a few bills, and received a curt nod in return. They stepped aside, letting him through without a word. He pushed open the heavy door and stepped inside.The place was exactly as it was rumoured to be. The lights were dim, casting a reddish glow over the room.Music pumped through the speakers, loud enough to make his chest vibrate. Girls in skimpy outfits danced on platforms, their movements drawing the attention of the men partying below with drinks in hand and their laughter filling the air.Ansel wasn’t here for the party. He was here for Kael.He scanned the room, his eyes moving quickly from face to face. Kael had a habit of showing up in his bar.Ansel came pre
Kael’s illegal operations
The group of men rounded the corner, dragging a bulky, heavy-looking bag between them.Ansel’s instincts kicked in the moment he caught sight of them. The stench of powder still lingered in the air from earlier, and it wasn’t hard to piece it all together. This wasn’t cleaning equipment…it was something far more sinister.The men faltered when they saw him and the guy he’d pinned just moments ago, still on his knees and visibly rattled. Their steps slowed, unsure of what they’d just walked into.Ansel loosened his grip on the man he was holding and pushed him aside, stepping forward toward the group. His eyes flicked to the bag they were carrying.“What’s in the bag?” His voice was steady, calm, but his gaze locked onto their faces, looking for any hint of a lie.The man on the floor stammered again, “It’s… it’s just cleaning stuff, I swear.”Ansel sneered, his patience wearing thin. He wasn’t in the mood for more nonsense. He moved closer, his presence alone enough to make them twitc
Visiting the warehouse
★★★On their way back, they passed by the MPK building, its towering structure silhouetted against the darkening sky.The government rewards were secured in his bag. Most notably, the key to the advanced medical equipment he had been given. Ansel leaned back in the car seat, his eyes distant as he recalled his stepmother’s chilling words about his sister.He clenched his fists. But now wasn’t the time to dwell on it. There were more pressing matters at hand.“Anthony,” Ansel said, his voice breaking the silence, “Take me to Grove Street. I need to check on something at the warehouse.”Anthony glanced at him through the rearview mirror. “Are you sure? It’s pretty late.”Ansel nodded, his gaze still fixed out the window. “I won’t be long. Just need to make sure everything’s in place.”It was already late at night, and the streets were quiet. The city’s usual noise had died down, and the dim street lights cast long shadows on the empty roads. They made their way through the dark streets
He has changed.
Ansel’s father’s mocking words echoed in his mind, pulling him into old wounds, but the sharp sound of heels hitting the cold marble floor snapped him out of it. He didn’t need to look up to know who was approaching—his stepmother’s presence was always announced by the clinking of her flashy jewelry.She strode into the room with her head held high, diamonds glinting at her neck, wrists, and ears. Ansel didn’t move. His face hardened as she came closer.“Well, well,” she said with a voice laced with false sweetness. “Look who’s back. Here to ask for money again, Ansel?”Ansel slowly looked her over, a cold sneer twisting his lips. His eyes locked on the woman who had torn his family apart so many years ago, the woman who had driven a wedge between his parents, ultimately destroying the family. He felt that familiar surge of anger rising, but he kept his voice level.“Keep. My. Name. Out. Of. Your. Mouth,” he said sharply, his words cutting through the air.His stepmother didn’t flinch
Two impossible options
Ansel checked the time on his watch. Two hours until the office closed, and the medical department was peaceful. No patients needed attention.At the end of the street, Anthony waited in the car. Ansel's expression was tight, and Anthony noticed that the young master didn't seem to be in a good mood today.He climbed into the car, shutting the door a bit harder than necessary."Is everything alright, Young master Ansel?" Anthony asked, glancing at Ansel in the rearview mirror.Ansel shook his head. The message from his assistant was still flashing before his eyes. His father, who had abandoned him and his mother years ago, was planning to sell her company. The same company he had taken from her before she passed away.Ansel could hardly believe that his father would dare to do that.But what was he expecting from a man who resulted in dirty tricks to get what he wanted?Anger boiled in Ansel's chest. He suddenly remembered his mother's tears, her desperation as his father's underhande
When things get heated
“Divorce?” Thora’s voice dripped with disbelief. “Who do you think you are, telling me what to do?”Claire’s nostrils flared as anger surged through her, and in a swift motion, she grabbed the glass cup sitting on the table and slammed it down. The glass shattered against the floor with a loud crash, shards scattering everywhere. It wasn’t until she heard the satisfying sound of the glass breaking that her anger felt even remotely manageable. She turned back toward Ansel, a sneer on her face, and then shifted her glare toward Thora.“I’m not blind. I can see clearly that he’s nothing but a stain on our family!” Claire spat out."Our family?" Thora corrected calmly.The sight of the broken shards of glass scattered on the floor infuriated her but she managed to maintain her cool."You can leave my office now, Claire. I have important matters to attend to."Claire felt like she had just heard the most insulting words of her life.She stammered as she tried to come up with a reply."Are
