Mrs. Helen stood silent for a moment, clutching her worn-out bag tightly. The reality hit her hard: she no longer had a home. Her ex-husband had thrown her out without a shred of mercy. She had no money, no place to go. Refusing this offer meant one thing—living as a homeless person on the streets. With a heavy sigh, Mrs. Helen finally said, “Alright... I’ll stay at the nursing home.” *** Six months later... The living room of Joseph and Katty’s house was filled with warmth, laughter, and joy. Katty, her belly now noticeably rounder, sat on a plush sofa with a glass of juice in her hand. Joseph, as always, was by her side, gently massaging her slightly swollen feet. “I can’t believe it’s already been seven months,” Katty said with a small smile, caressing her belly. “It feels like we just found out yesterday.” Joseph nodded, pride glowing in his eyes. “Seven incredible months. And tomorrow… tomorrow is the big moment. The G-Clim Changer officially launches. And we’ll fin
Joseph stood beside Katty, his face calm despite the turmoil in his heart. Before him, Uncle Bura spoke confidently, his words dripping with condescension.The relatives present murmured among themselves, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere.“Katty,” Uncle Bura's voice echoed, “you’re an intelligent and talented woman. Why do you keep holding on to a husband who only relies on you? This Joseph… he’s nothing but a burden.”“Uncle Bura, that’s enough,” Katty said firmly, her eyes sharp and unwavering. “Joseph is not what you think. He is my husband and the father of my child. If you cannot respect him, please watch your words!”Uncle Bura scoffed, waving his hand dismissively. “Why should I? Everyone knows Joseph is just leeching off you. Even all the accomplishments that have been in the news lately… they’re because of your name, not his!”The murmurs among the relatives grew louder. Some began nodding in agreement.A female cousin of Katty suddenly chimed in. “Uncle Bura is right, Ka
One week after the G-Clim Changer device was successfully deployed worldwide, Joseph once again became the center of attention in the tech world. This revolutionary device had now become a savior for Earth, mitigating the increasingly uncontrollable threat of climate change.However, Joseph was not content to stop there. He knew that technological progress must continue for the sake of future generations.Today, in a futuristic conference room filled with professors and technology experts from across the globe, Joseph presented his vision for the future of global communication.The meeting room was dominated by white tones, featuring a circular glass table surrounded by ergonomic chairs. At the center of the table was an interactive circular screen displaying a world map with various real-time data. Holograms of graphs and statistics continuously shifted on the walls, adding a high-tech ambiance.Joseph stood at the front, dressed in a simple yet authoritative suit. Before him, dozens
"This is a laser weapon, which I will call Gun-G. Like a gun, but instead of bullets, it uses lasers. It's a photonic laser weapon integrating the latest advancements in military technology. The concept is simple but revolutionary. I'll explain further if you have questions. Please, go ahead."The professors and technicians in the room sat silently, their eyes fixed on Joseph's second presentation."So, what makes this weapon different from the others?" asked Dr. Hans, a renowned ballistics expert, his tone skeptical.Joseph smiled. "First, efficiency and speed. This device fires lasers at the speed of light, making it impossible to evade. Whether the target is stationary or moving rapidly, it will be hit within microseconds."He continued, pointing at the center of a hologram. "See this—it's the trajectory adjustment system. This allows the weapon to adjust its firing angle with extreme precision, even if the target moves unpredictably. With this, the accuracy approaches 100%."Dr. E
“I have an idea,” Ramond said, his voice deep and commanding, breaking the silence that filled the room.Jennifer stared at him with disbelief, her eyes narrowing as if trying to decipher the thoughts behind her husband’s words. “What idea are you thinking of this time?” she asked in a low voice.Ramond took a slow drag from his cigar, exhaling the smoke with a measured calmness. “We kill Thalib Guezz.”The words hung in the air like a bomb detonating without a sound. Jennifer froze, her heart pounding in her chest. She turned sharply, her face a mixture of shock and anger. “Are you insane? I don’t agree with this!”Ramond placed the cigar down deliberately, then stood up. Despite his advancing age, his presence was as imposing as ever. “Are you still defending your ex-father-in-law?” he asked coldly, his words cutting like a blade to Jennifer’s heart.“If so, feel free to go back to the Guezz family. Leave me and our children. I don’t need a woman like you!”Jennifer felt as if her w
Joseph stood before his grandfather's coffin, his eyes fixed on the old man’s face, now serene with eyes closed in eternal rest.The scent of lilies filled the room, deepening the heavy silence. The coffin was placed at the center of a grand hall adorned with opulent decorations—a high ceiling painted with murals, a massive crystal chandelier hanging above, and sturdy white marble pillars flanking the space.Joseph approached slowly, as though his feet were weighed down. He bent slightly, touching the edge of the mahogany coffin. In a low, almost whispering voice, he said, “Grandpa, your death has taken me by surprise. If your passing was caused by human hands, I swear, I will avenge for you.”From the corner of the room, Jennifer stood gracefully, her sharp eyes locked on Joseph. Despite the distance between them, she caught his words. Her face remained calm, but the glass of water she held trembled slightly.The tension in the room was palpable, pressing on everyone present, though
After Jennifer left the Guezz family mansion and returned to Aussa, the atmosphere in the dining room felt quieter and heavier.Joseph sat at the now-empty dining table. Katty remained by his side, though she chose to stay silent, giving Joseph space to process everything that had just happened.A few moments later, the dining room door opened slowly, and a middle-aged man in a medical coat entered the room. Dr. Sam, the Guezz family's personal doctor who had served the family for years, carried a stack of papers in his hands. He walked calmly, though his face seemed slightly tense."Young master," he greeted in a low voice, reminding Joseph that he was there on serious matters. "I bring the autopsy results for Mr. Thalib."Joseph looked at Dr. Sam, his gaze sharp and attentive. "What did you find?" he asked in a heavy tone.Dr. Sam placed the papers on the table, opened one of the pages, and showed it to Joseph. "The examination reveals that Mr. Thalib's death was not caused by any c
Joseph is sitting at the corner of the table. He is eating alone and so alienated. The people there also ignore Joseph, they are busy joking around, but no one talks to Joseph. This is because Joseph is a son-in-law who lives in the house of his wife's family, the Smith family. Apart from having no wealth, Joseph has no position or dignity in the Smith family.Today is Mr. Barta Smith's birthday. The entire family was present to celebrate Mr. Barta's birthday. Many of them were looking forward to the opportunity to mock and insult Joseph."Honey, please eat this pork soup," said Katty handing Joseph a bowl of pork soup. She is Katty Smith, Joseph's wife, and Mr. Barta Smith's youngest daughter.Katty's eldest sister, hearing that, immediately sneered, "Katty, I made that pork soup, especially for our family. Not for such a poor and useless person like Joseph!"Hearing her eldest sister's words, Katty put the bowl of pork soup back on the table. She looks down in shame."What Jenny sai
