A sweet end
Ansel glanced at the clock on the wall and his stomach dropped when he realized more than eighteen hours had slipped past.His clothes were completely soaked through with sweat and clinging to his skin. His head throbbed so loud he could barely think straight.However none of that mattered because he had actually done it. He had successfully created a treatment for little Hira and Thora, and now he was holding the final formula right there in his shaking hands, the bright blue liquid perfectly still and glowing faintly inside the thin glass tube.[Mission successful][Skill granted]A small smile finally broke across his lips and his eyes started to sting with tears he didn't even try to hold back. Little Hira was finally going to get healed. He didn't waste another second in that warehouse. He tucked the glass tube safely into his pocket, making sure the blue liquid wouldn't spill, and rushed out to his car and drove.He soon arrived at the house and found little Hira sitting on the
yay or nay
Ansel drove to the warehouse.Since Claire’s encounter with Thora in her office, she had not been in a good mood. He had tried calling her but he decided against it. It was obvious that she needed some alone time. That was one of the reasons he didn’t press too much when she said she needed space.He had planned to head to Samantha’s place later. She was his personal assistant and she helped him handle a lot of work. He needed her to organize the data he had collected from his previous visits to the medical research division and he also needed to see his little sister.Still, that was for later. His mind was occupied now.Ansel drove straight to the warehouse. Since Kael had been caught and arrested for the illegal activities he ran from the same warehouse, Ansel had doubled the security. He wasn’t going to take chances. The police had cleared the area as safe, but Ansel wanted full control over the property moving forward.This time, he wasn’t there to inspect security footage or
Kneeling like a beggar
Grandfather Luther’s face went cold.Seeing that, Ansel’s father felt his mouth turn dry.For a second, he struggled for air. His chest rose and fell faster than usual. The garage suddenly felt tighter and hotter.Grandfather’s gaze pierced through him like it always had when he was newly married to his deceased wife. That stare was dangerous.He had seen that look before. Back then, it meant trouble. Ansel’s father cursed himself in his mind.Grandfather Luther was too smart. He had outsmarted him in the past. And now?Now he stood here once again. Only this time, there was no escape. Never in his life would he have thought that Grandfather Luther was a rich wealthy old man. Not once. He used to think the old man was a burden. A relic from the past with no value. He had disregarded him like a fly buzzing around his head. And not just disregarded. He had laughed at him. Mocked him openly and behind his back. Made fun of his clothes and his old shoes.Now here he was. Kneeling on 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
