ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER 24 hours
Chris's tone was one of feigned concern as he finally tore his gaze from his plate, directing it toward Thora with a furrowed brow. "Thora, you're not attending the KG company any longer? Have you changed your mind about signing with them? You seemed quite enthusiastic about it before." Thora nodded her head and they all went quiet, didn't she mention earlier that she was excited to try her luck?Was she really going to give up?Ansel was the most shocked, he didn't want his wife to give up just yet."C'mon, Thora, I believe in you. My wife is a survivor and she always goes for what she wants. You are a winner, Thora. Don't give up" Ansel said in a soothing voice, he met Thora's gaze and then she looked away."I'm afraid that the Castillo group doesn't have what it takes. If I go on with this then I will only bring shame to the family. Chris was right" Thora said, her voice threatening to shake.She took in a deep breath and then breathed out slowly."So you just want to give up? Oh
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER He had proven himself again
The next day, Ansel arrived at the L group.Inside the office, Samantha stood up and watched Ansel as he skimmed through the file."It's signed?" Ansel asked just to be sure even though he was seeing the big bold signature.Samantha nodded her head, she went ahead to give Ansel a note which she had also also gotten from the KG company CEO.No one knew what was written inside. They had specifically requested that it should be given to Ansel.Ansel collected the paper from her hands.As he opened the neatly folded paper, he read them words for word.'He is not only rich but also respectful ' Ansel thought to himself, he nodded his head slowly.The CEO of KG company had never seen someone invest so much in their company and so he wanted to meet who the CEO of L group was.Ansel also didn't know who the CEO of KG group was. All he knew was that he was also a member of the Mpk organization.Could this mean that he was the level A member that no one had seen?Ansel frowned slightly, he sho
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER They couldn't wait to throw him out
Thora was in a really great mood throughout the day.She even went as far as having lunch with Ansel in the public cafeteria.Everyone around them was stunned, even the people who were eating couldn't help but whisper amongst themselves.President Thora had never eaten in the public cafeteria.She always went into the private cafeteria which wasn't meant for all workers.Only people like secretary Bob and Thora were allowed into the private cafeteria.While Ansel ate, he smiled from ear to ear.Seeing his wife eat with him was more than enough.Ansel went ahead to even place some of his food in her plates.Thora's pupils dilated for a second but she accepted the food with a smile.A gasp erupted from the crowd as they stared at the two.How did Ansel, an ordinary coworker manage to get in close contact with president Thora.That was almost impossible and they couldn't help but wonder why Thora was so nice to the doctor all of a sudden.Soon, when they were done eating they left the c
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER "What if he did?"
"Granduncle, what are you doing?" Thora asked with a nervous laugh and her granduncle shunned her with a wave of his hand.Swallowing back the lump in her throat, Thora's eyes darted from Ansel to granduncle."I did Ansel a favor, shouldn't you both thank me? My back hurts in my old age but I still get to do all the work." Granduncle then pouted while touching his back with his hands.Ansel could already guess what was happening but he didn't want to assume that granduncle was the culprit behind all these."What work have you done granduncle? I'm surprised that you are still able to stand." Ansel said, suppressing the laughter that almost escaped his lips, he looked at granduncle with a straight face."Can't you see the work that I have done? Isn't it obvious?" Granduncle hissed loudly and pointed at the bags in Ansel's hand.That was it!Granduncle was indeed the mastermind behind his bags.Ansel stared at him closely, he wanted to know the reason why granduncle had committed that s
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER A coincidence?
At that moment, Chris walked into the living room due to the noise and commotion that he heard.Mira, who was also packing up her belongings for school, was surprised to see Ansel and Thora.They were back so early and so she went ahead to give Thora a hug.She was oblivious to the things that happened and so she didn't notice that they were in a heated discussion.Meanwhile, Chris walked towards granduncle, he ignored Ansel and Thora.He wanted to know why his granduncle's face had suddenly gone pale.Did Ansel say something bad to him?Chris seethed with anger, he saw the documents in his granduncle's hands and didn't understand what it was all about."Granduncle, why are you so bothered because of a piece of paper? I have prepared a nice drink for us." Chris said with excitement.However, granduncle didn't even notice that Chris was around.He blinked his eyes multiple times, hoping that the red stamp would suddenly disappear."Granduncle, are you starting to go blind. You shouldn'
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER A whore
"Clara! Are you planning to deceive my friend?" Ansel said as he got to their table.Smith didn't expect that Ansel would be here, he wanted to introduce Ansel to Clara but when he heard Ansel mention her name, he assumed that Ansel must have met Clara somewhere.Perhaps he had treated Clara in the past."What are you doing here, Ansel, don't ruin my good moment." Clara sneered, she held up her hands and wiggled her fingers in an attempt to make him jealous.What she didn't know was that Ansel didn't feel anything towards her.The feeling he had for her died the moment they divorced.Ansel shot her a hard glare.“What are you doing here?” He asked again, this time, his veins bulged and it was obvious that he wasn't here for jokes."Hey! My boyfriend just proposed to me, what's your problem?" Clara said, even though the word “boyfriend” sounded a bit strange to her.She was only with Smith because of a reason and hadn't expected him to propose to her with an expensive ring.But who was
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Clara, how shameless can you be?
"Stay out of my way! I'm not giving this back. That's not fair." Clara pouted, she crossed her arms around herself and then went on to pretend like they were the big bullies.However, Smith's heart was now cold towards her and he felt nothing but disgust.He went on to grab her hand. Skillfully, he slid the ring down her hand and then got hold of the ring.Without any more words, Smith walked out of the restaurant angrily.The heartbreak that he felt was more than enough.Inside the restaurant stood Clara in shock, she didn't expect that Smith would do something as outrageous as that.How dare he?Ansel was also about leaving, but he thought of dropping an advice for Clara before he finally left."Stick to Kelvin when next, no one's going to buy this act of yours." Clara felt ashamed, she turned her face away and then a thought popped into her mind.Did Ansel ruin her relationship because he was still interested in her.Could this mean that he still had feelings for her?If that was
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Claiming what isn't hers
As Ansel walked out of the restaurant, he caught sight of Clara leaning by his car, she was making a phone call.Ansel shook his head when he saw how she acted like a boss.Meanwhile, Clara was waiting for a cab, she didn't notice that Ansel was staring at her.Busting the loud bubblegum in her mouth, she gave Ansel a curious gaze.Had he come to beg her?She leaned against the Rolls-Royce phantom more comfortably and then ended the call."Why are you staring at me like that? If you need a cab then go get one!" Clara said while chewing her bubble gum loudly.The sound was irritating to Ansel and he blocked his ears."Oh are you staring at my car? It's a pity that I can't give you a ride." Clara said with so much confidence that Ansel almost mistook her lies for the truth.So now she was trying to claim his car?With a smirk on his face, he wondered how far this woman could go."It's such a nice car, but I thought the Arlington's were now poor." Ansel said with a chuckle.Even though t

"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
