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.
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Different rooms
Ansel decided that he was going back to his suite to practice his breathing technique and prepare more herbs.To him, their marriage wasn't really a real one.Thora herself had said that she wasn't going to stay with him.He had thought about renting an apartment for them to stay but it just seemed like Thora wouldn't accept it either.But now that he was married, Ansel knew it wouldn't be right to keep staying with Samantha.And so, he made up his mind to prepare his herbs and then move into a new apartment."Where are you going, Ansel?"Just as Ansel was about to hail a cab, he heard grandfather Kian's voice. Ansel turned back to see grandfather and Thora looking at him with an expectant look."I'm going home, grandfather." Ansel said casually and grandfather clicked his tongue.Grandfather Kian stepped forward, his expression softening slightly. "Ansel, now that you and my granddaughter are married, you are a part of our family. It would be our honor to have you stay with us."Ans
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER A new job
At first Ansel wanted to ignore but when he heard the person knock again, he stood up, tired and angry at whoever the person was.He got to the door, opened it and was ready to lash out at whoever that was.In front of him was the head maid.Ansel calmed down a little and faked a smile.The old maid was very happy to see Ansel, she bowed her head a little, which came as a shock to Ansel.None of the workers in Castillo's mansion bothered to treat Ansel with respect.Ansel couldn't get angry at her anymore, he released a genuine smile and then asked politely."Good morning, it's so early in the morning, is there something wrong?"The old maid smiled and shook her head.She had only come to inform Mr Ansel that his wife was downstairs eating breakfast.It was obvious that Ansel was not used to this way of living and so she stammered as she thought of how to break the news to Ansel."Your wife is waiting for you downstairs. She wants you to join her for breakfast."When Ansel heard the o
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER A visit to his wife's office
They both went into the medical department and Ansel found out that his stay in the company wouldn't be too bad afterall.The company had some rare herbs that he could use to treat patients.Soon, everyone heard of the new doctor in the medical lab.The room became flooded with people.News spread out and Ansel treated almost all the workers that came to meet him.Most of them complained about headaches while some complained about stomach pain.Those were just the minor illnesses that they came complaining to him about.It was almost time for lunch and Ansel was starting to feel tired.He decided to go to his wife's office and have lunch with her.Since they were now married, Ansel didn't see anything wrong in doing that.Ansel knocked on the cold glass door and after a while the door opened automatically.He walked inside and sat down on the seat without her offering him a seat.Thora's eyes almost came out of the socket, she wanted to say something but then she didn't know what to s
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Secretary Bob wants trouble
"And what if I hit you? You were being disrespectful." Bob said, his breath increased rapidly as he spoke."Take your seat, Bob. You can't hit a person in my office or in this company." Thora had enough, she said with a sneer of disdain.Bob, left with no choice, took a seat and muttered under his breath."Were you about to hit a person in my office?" Thora questioned angrily, slamming her palm on the desk and displaying a bossy attitude while Ansel smirked.Soon, Thora realized that she might be going too far and so she reduced her tone."I suggest that you dismiss him immediately, Thora." Bob said, his voice showing a hint of pain.Thora cleared her throat and sighed deeply."I'm the boss here and not you. If someone disrespects you then you report them to me." Thora sat upright and then continued. "Mr Ansel is a new doctor in our company. I'm sure he made a mistake." Ansel scoffed as he heard Thora try to cover up for him. Why wouldn't she let him teach Bob a lesson?Bob went quie

"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
