"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
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
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 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 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
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
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
"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
