Chapter 10- Realization
All she could hear was that she was born out of rape."Ah!!!, How could that be.?!" She asked with a mixture of confusion and hope. Hope that what her mother had said was wrong."How couldn't it be? You father was a dandy young master and I was a person he couldn't get, so he decided to have his way and that you are the product of what he has done.He did not want to acknowledge you and I forced him to, before he finally succumbed to the pressure and married me.I couldn't give birth again and to avoid your father from looking outside for a son, I did what I did"Aisha said not looking at her daughter anymore as she entered the hospital.Their family situation had been going down the hill for a while now.Her daughter's second husband had found out about her daughter's past which was about her frolicking with boy toys and all that and couldn't accept it even though she did not cheat in the marriage.He felt like there was a vast green land on his head.Her grandson had also ended up offending some bigwig when they had given him a subsidiary company to manage.They were only able to get away after they had sold many of their properties. Now their company was on the brink of declaring bankruptcy.Her husband had fallen ill when her grandson had offended the bigwig to the extent that even her grandson's father had disowned him just like what she did to her granddaughter.Now, her daughter and her husband are going for divorce.They had spent a lot of money on her husband's medical fees. At this point it would be best if he left the world in peace.Her grandson had met her granddaughter's assistant who had offered him a sweet deal.Now that she thought about it, could it be that her granddaughter and grandson had been the one who planned all this and swindled them of their money.They had planned to buy the company shares at a cheap rate as the assistant had given to them and had already paid. The more she thought about this, the colder her aura became.Ting!Aisha frowned and opened her phone to see what the notification was.At this point she was standing in front of the ward room of her husband.[CreditAmt:5,000,000,000.00Acc:11******796Desc: Refund of SharesTime:***/***/***]Aisha stood rooted to the ground as she counted the zeroes carefully.It wasn't that she hadn't seen such an amount before, but this amount was like coal in winter.She checked the description and understood.The amount they had paid for the shares was 20M and now she received more than that.She couldn't help but laugh mockingly. She would be a fool if she still did not understand.Her granddaughter really would never acknowledge them.This money was like cleaning whatever ties that should have been formed.It seems like the assistant acted on his own, then who was the assistant working for.She decided not to think about it anymore, she was already so old and still had to worry about everyone. They were really useless.……………….In the ward……...Eren, who had entered with a huff, looked at his grandfather who had an oxygen mask strapped to his face.He was indeed pampered by the family but his grandfather was indifferent to him. His mother on the other hand treated him well but he is tired of her always calling him useless."Grandfather, you people keep calling me useless but still couldn't even retain the same granddaughter you trained."James did not care about his ranting grandson but his words caught his interest.He lowered his eyelids and could not help but reminisce about his past.Maybe if he had let go of how dandy he had been and maybe had been more responsible, his daughter wouldn't have learnt such a habit from him.Maybe, just maybe, she and her first husband would still be on good terms or their granddaughter could still be with them.His grandson was really a pain in the ass. A very short description of his grandson is a selfish coward.Since he became hospitalized, he began to reflect about himself from a third point view and even he felt disgusted.Right now, he loves his wife more than ever. There were many regrets he had and one was not bringing up his grandson the way he did with his granddaughter and the other was for his adulterous nature causing him to be in the hospital. If he hadn't been adulterous, then Elena would also be like that.Others may not be aware of why the bigwig was so hell bent on dealing with them but he is aware.When he was still young, he jumped from one skirt to another, even when he married his wife, he kept on doing so and ended up bedding the bigwig wife when he decided to have a change of taste to married women.Now that change of taste had almost reduced his family to ruins.Tears slid down from his eyes running along his cheeks. Unaware of the fact that his son had been talking and he had been in his own world, his tears caused a big misunderstanding."You're crying because of her? You still miss her! When you threw her away, you didn't remember. Am I really so useless in your eyes." Eren's eyes were red as he stared at his grandfather.He had been venting his anger and stress to which later he would calm down but when he mentioned his sister whom he knew nothing of, his grandfather cried.His psyche collapsed. He had always been told he was useless, they didn't know how to teach him well and used the way they had taught his sister to teach him.He admits he is slow but the pressure, the more he thought about this, the more suffocating he felt."You! I hate you" Eren words jolted James from his stupor and stared at his grandson with a stupefied expression which looked like mockery to Eren."I wonder if I pull this oxygen mask if you will survive. Will you still tell me I am useless? Will you still miss that granddaughter of yours?h" At this moment, he hated the sister he had only met once which was today.It felt like his anger and hatred was magnified that he could not control himself.He pulled his grandfather's oxygen mask, he watched as his grandfather's expression turned from anger to hatred then to confusion and realization to relief."What did you do? How dare you, Eren?" The voice of his grandmother brought him back.Eren stared at his hands in disbelief. His hand shook, he did not know what to answer. He did not dare look at his grandmother to see the look on her face. He burrowed his face into his hands and cried while muttering "what have I done? ""How can you not know what you have done? Why did you do it? Answer me!"Eren shivered and spoke. "I was venting my anger and I mentioned something about his granddaughter and he started crying, I asked why and, in fact I felt like my hatred and anger were magnified. It felt like my negative emotions were at an all time high. And I did what I did. I didn't mean to"Aisha just stared at him and then at her dead husband who passed away in relief, she wondered if he had also wanted to die, that why he had a look of relief when he left.Chapter 11- Family drama"How can you not know what you have done? Why did you do it? Answer me!" Eren shivered and spoke. "I was venting my anger and I mentioned something about his granddaughter and he started crying, I asked why and, in fact I felt like my hatred and anger were magnified. It felt like my negative emotions were at an all time high. And I did what I did. I didn't mean to"Aisha just stared at him and then at her dead husband who passed away in relief, she wondered if he had also wanted to die, that why he had a look of relief when he left."Go call the doctor" she did not look at her son but sat beside her old man.She arranged his beddings and put back his oxygen mask.A teardrop slid down her face landing on his face."We are failures as parents, grandparents and also in our career.Am tired. Should I follow you?" The doctor, accompanied by a nurse, entered upon her request, with Elena and Eren following closely behind. Elena bit her lips at her mother's words."
Chapter 12- Decision and plansZephyra's decision was to kill him but she knew she shouldn't go too far to tempt fate.She hadn't yet assimilated with this world and the world would give her ten times whatever punishment that would be given to a normal person.She decided to erase his memories and throw him to a backward place.Zephyra felt that she was too kind. "Am I really afraid of fate?"[ Yes Master, you are. After what you have experienced so far, it would be strange if you aren't.]"Sigh, you have been quiet for a while now."[ Am not a chatterbox]"I didn't say you were. Anyway, do you have any idea on how I should deal with him."[Why not let him work for you?]"Tsk.... That's like keeping a time bomb by my side."[ Anybody you take into the personal space becomes dead loyal to you and you can even kill them and they won't move.It may be hard for a protagonist but since if Bryan had won, he would have completely gotten the halo of a protagonist but he didn't.]A grin appear
Chapter 13- UpgradesBryan, clandestine in his acquisition of the villa, navigated the winding roads to the secluded property, all while harboring the secret from his unsuspecting mother. Gratitude washed over him, knowing that her unawareness spared him from potential consequences.As he pulled up to the grandeur of his newly acquired residence, thoughts swirled in Bryan's mind about orchestrating his mother's departure from the country. The intricate plan loomed ahead, requiring careful execution.Upon entering, Bryan encountered Zephyra, patiently awaiting his arrival. The mere sight of her evoked a flood of emotions, and he couldn't contain the overwhelming urge to cry. Wrapped in a heartfelt embrace, Bryan found solace in releasing the pent-up emotions that had gripped him.After the tears subsided, a wave of realization washed over him. Embarrassment took hold as he acknowledged the unexpected vulnerability he had displayed before Zephyra, his once-disliked boss, now a recipient
Chapter 14- More upgradesShe clicked on the Forge and a building token materialized in her hand. The token had a metallic look with Forge written on it in the form of italics and level one below it."I already have the space, I can stay there to concoct some potion and pills. Let's upgrade some more, but it seems that the core will be hard to get since not every animal has a core."[You're even more of a child than me. Must I remind you of everything.]Zara's voice sounded annoyed.Zephyra was confused, she did not think she had forgotten anything.[Use your talent, dumbass.]"Hey, am your master okay. You get that? Now which talent are we talking about?"[Midas touch]Zephyra chuckled embarrassingly as she recalled the talent."Thank you" she had no excuse to go with, so she could only mutter a thank you.She brought out the things needed for upgrade and used the midas touch on them.For each object she touched, they released a blinding light.As she progressed, she felt more playfu

Chapter 16- Day 2; My ChildZephyra instinctively closed her eyes upon meeting with the sudden rays of sunlight pouring in from the window.She turned to her side, turning away from the incoming rays of light as she allowed her brain to boot before sitting upright in a lotus position.“Zara, did anything happen while I was asleep?” Zephyra said, yawning in-between her words.[Nothing serious. Your subordinates each went to different workshops available to take a look while I also slowed down the process of the puppet expedition.Since the puppets have no consciousness and are only following orders, it took a while to get them to understand what to do.Right now, I had them patrol around the surrounding area, sent some to mine with Zion following them and some guards.I also gave Zane some materials to begin making maps while Thyma would use the materials given to her to make clothes of all kinds.Also, I stopped the puppets from building more constructions, since, you may have the tok
Hey guys 👋🖐️, My editor has yet to review the work as I have corrected the mistakes which should be corrected.I have already reminded him about that and I hope it will be done soon.Don't leave the book just because of the mistakes, you can skip the chapters or ignore the mistakes and leave your review while also sharing it to your friends.Sigh.... I wanted to make this short and brief but since I can't publish it with less than 100 words, I would address other things.You may have noticed the use of AI in some chapters which I had used to do editing and I stopped halfway, cos after reading it, it did not sound like my writing style.It also reduced many words which I had used to express the emotion of the character. And yes, I didn't correct that even after the editing, I just made it try to fit into the story without spoiling the novel.I hope you like it and enjoy the novel. Show me love by sharing to your friends😌 and leaving a review while not forgetting to add to your Libra
Chapter 17- Future Zara and two bundles of joy Hey lovelies, I understand the novel is a little slow paced but I can't make it too fast paced either.I need to build a good world background, so you won't get confused.……………….“Do you wanna know why I'm here?” The lady who had similar features of Zara asked with a mischievous smile.The lady had an air of maturity, the smile added a touch of childishness with elegance radiating from her.Zara gazed at her in silence not showing her curiosity to know who she is and her mission or purpose.They looked at each other in silence waiting for one of them to give in.“Tch, aren't you worried about your host?” The acclaimed future Zara broke the silence.“Fine… I'm tired of pretending and it's a burden on me.” The future Zara spoke and turned into a short chubby boy.The chubby boy had emerald green eyes and purple hair just like Zara.“Who are you?” Zara who was quite cowardly became bolder after seeing the change though a little cautious.“H
