"Drama is a very simple word to describe something like that, I prefer a word that's more suitable to the scene we are going to witness," Bryan chuckled, thinking about the upcoming cinematic scene ground floor.

Together, the three of them descended to the ground floor.

"I'm so excited," Stacy whispered in Bryan's ear, making Bryan to roll his eyes, "to you it's exciting since I startled them, but to me back then it isn't, they humiliated and insulted me more than this."

Stacy pulled Bryan's hand with a fierce glare, "is it that bitch receptionist?" Bryan laughed, "looks like you hold a lot of grudges against that woman," Stacy nodded her head vigorously.

"Both of you, can't you be away from eachother even for a minute?" Nancy teased them, "you both looks like the brother and sister who can't be separated from eachother even for a second."

Bryan rubbed his temples, "no way, she is such a bully, there's no way I would be staying with her," Stacy smacked on Bryan's head, "you idiot,

    "Celebrate?" Bryan asked in a confused tone making Nancy to smile, "yeah, we have to celebrate this success of ours, so let's go home tonight." Stacy nudged him playfully, "don't tell me you've other plans for tonight, do you?" Bryan scratched his neck with an awkward, "stop teasing me, I've no such plans." Nancy and Stacy chuckled at his words, while Bryan shrugged his shoulders, "then, let's go, for what we are waiting here still?" Nancy laughed at his words, "let's go." As Bryan stepped into the house, the warmth of home immediately wrapped around him, earlier he never experienced something like this, and he never expected of experiencing it either, now that he tries to remember, he noticed how many changes got into his life just in a few months.The familiar scent of freshly baked cookies welcomed him, just then his grandmother, who was sitting in the living room noticing the presence of Bryan, she rushed to him."Oh, my sweet boy, you’re finally home!

    "Grandma actually," Bryan’s face became reddened a bit as he fidgeted in embarrassment, but his sisters' glances are at him all the time, "It’s… it’s not like that, Grandma," he mumbled, being a little shy to talk about his relationship. "Oh, come on, Bryan," Stacy laughed, nudging him playfully, "What’s with all the shyness? I never knew you were this shy type!" Nancy joined in, chuckling while looking at him, "Yeah, Bryan, it’s okay to talk about it, you don't have to be shy in front of us!" Even Mia couldn’t resist herself from teasing him. "I never thought my brother would be this shy to talk about his love one day," she raised an eyebrow, with a playful smile.Alicia loved the fun bather among the siblings, she gently glanced at Bryan, "my dear Bryan, you know you can tell me anything, I'm not so strict with you, so you can say it without feeling embarrassed." Bryan took a deep breath being encouraged by his grandmother, decided to speak about Mirabel, "well grandma, it's not

    "Stop it!" Nancy shouted, as she is no longer ready to take her mother's harsh words or accusations, her voice breaking with a mixture of anger and exhaustion as she couldn't understand why her mother is not waking up to reality rather than believing in her own delusions. "Enough, Mom! You need to stop blaming Bryan for everything! He is an innocent victim, thanks to you, how can you still blame him?" Josephine, visibly taken aback, stared at her daughter in shock. Nancy had never spoken back to her before, at least not like this. But tonight, Nancy was done with the endless manipulation, especially her mother's favouritism towards Jake completely broken her heart."What did you just say?" Josephine is still in disbelief because of Nancy's rebellious behaviour, but looking at Nancy backing off Bryan like this, she can't help but to be furious, "Are you trying to defend that bastard? After all he’s done to this family?""Done?" Nancy repeated, with a sarcastic laugh. "Bryan has done

    "Bryan!" Nancy looked at her brother, her bruised cheek a silent testament to the pain she had endured because of their mother's cruelty.She had always known the weight of their family’s bitterness, being the eldest daughter, she always thought it was her duty to sacrifice and obey the parents, but today she realised, to her mother, and father they're nothing but tools to achieve their dreams, that's why she decided to change her fate."No one," Nancy mumbled with a soft tone, as she wanted to hide it from Bryan knowing that he'll go and argue with their mother, if he were to know about this.Her lips pressed tightly together as she forced a small smile, hoping to hide her pain and truth from him.Bryan’s gaze softened, as he traced his hand at her cheek. "Is it… Mom?"A silence fell between them, the only person who came into Bryan's mind was Josephine, because apart from her none would do something nasty like this.Her silence is killing him, and he can't help but to blame himself

    "Prince!" Bryan turned around as he heard Mirabel’s voice calling him, she came running up to him, her arms clinging around his shoulders as she hugged him tightly, "I missed you," she mumbled, squeezing him as if she hadn't seen him for years.He hugged her back with a smile, knowing her childish antics, after emotional time at home, in the morning he came to college, only to have his little devil in his arms, "I missed you too little devil," he always dreamt for things like this in his previous life, now without even dreaming for such moments, they came to him thanks to Mirabel's unconditional love towards him."Give me a break, guys," Ronald groaned, rolling his eyes after witnessing them embracing each other in their arms, "I’m tired of all this PDA of yours, why am I the victim always?" Mirabel smacked him playfully on the head with a pout. "It’s been more than a day since I’ve seen my prince, of course I miss him, I don't understand what's your problem in this! Do you know how

    "You aren’t lying, right?" Julia asked, as her voice trembled with disbelief, she still couldn't believe that Bryan was giving her such a golden opportunity.Bryan nodded, with a reassuring smile, "I’d never lie about something like this, Julia, I’m sure about making you the main singer through this company. If you’re interested in my offer, we can prepare for the contract right now."Though Julia doesn't find Bryan is someone who can be suspicious, still she isn't ready to believe in anyone that easily, "what do you want in return?" "I don't want anything in return, you signing under this company is enough, what else can I expect from you?" Bryan said with a smile.Julia couldn't help but to be surprised by Bryan's words as he isn't expecting in return and wanting to do it for her sake.With tears in her eyes, Julia smiled being grateful for Bryan's support, "Thank you so much." As per the orders of Bryan, Arthur quickly prepared the necessary papers, and Julia signed them without

    "I hope you don't do anything risky Bryan," Hobbes gently patted on Bryan's shoulder, "I want you to be safe away from dangers, I'll be there for you always."Bryan smiled at Hobbes's kind words and thanked him, "thank you so much officer."With that Bryan got out of the police control room with a relief expression on his face.

    "Nothing my love," Bryan tried to lie hoping Mirabel would leave, but she stubbornly held his hand, "don't you trust me?" Bryan gently caressed her face, "why wouldn't I trust you?" Mirabel asked with a pout, "then tell, what exactly are you hiding from us?" Bryan hesitated for a moment before telling her that information. "Margot was attacked, likely by the same people who pressured her release, and now it seems someone in my family may be involved in this mess." "Someone from your family, isn't it an easy guess Bryan?" Ronald crossed his arms, making Bryan to smile, "obviously it's an easy guess, it's none other than my mother Josephine Winterwood." Mirabel stared at Bryan's face with widened eyes, "your mother? Is she plotting against you?" "Likely to be a yes," Bryan nodded making Mirabel to be puzzled, Ronald sighed, "then for what you're waiting, just say that to officer Hobbes, and he'll take care of it."

    SOMETHING CONSPIRACY

    "Why is this mystery never ending?" Bryan sat in his study, surrounded by stacks of old documents and family records. Unaware of what Josephine is plotting behind his back, he is so busy in getting the truth that was buried in the past. The faint glow of the desk lamp made him feel uneasy to stare at the papers, however he is so busy and involved in flipping the pages. He had been checking through the Winterwood archives for hours, determined to find any trace of evidence to support his suspicions regarding the mysteries. As he reached the bottom of an old wooden chest, a red envelope caught his attention. The paper looked too old, the edges were torn, and the handwriting on the front unmistakably belonged to his late grandfather, Edward Winterwood, "grandfather? This handwriting is similiar to grandfather's, I still remember the handwriting of grandfather from my previous life while helping my father, if so why is grandfather's handwritten paper is here?" With a curiosity, he

    BRING AN END TO EVERYTHING

    "Sure, I can," Stacy said and took the file, as she checked the details, apart from very minimalistic nothing else found, "Bryan, if you don't mind, can I ask who is this man? If you don't want to say it's okay." Bryan took a deep breath and said the conversation he had before with officer Hobbes."What the!" Stacy was beyond surprised, "how can this be?" Bryan replied, "I don't know either, but the maid is already dead too, I don't believe our mom is doing all the things alone, I'm sure someone must be helping her," Stacy looked curious, "so, did you figure out anything more about these things?" Bryan sighed, leaning back to the bedframe, "Not yet, but I have a feeling this man from mom's past holds the key to everything. If I can figure out who he is, I might be able to predict her next move, until then I'm not sure of anything because things are different from my previous life at this moment, so I can't take a blind step believing in intuition." Stacy frowned in deep thought. "

    "These are the files you're supposed to look at and take care of," Josephine sat at her desk in the office, glaring daggers as everyone who was looking down on her, whereas Nancy, had been firm but fair in her leadership. To Josephine, it felt like a constant reminder of her fall from grace. Once the madam of the Winterwood household, but she was now reduced to a subordinate, a reality she bitterly hatred.Just then, her phone buzzed on the desk. It was a text from Bryan, "I think you love your new life, Mrs. Winterwood." Josephine slammed her phone down, with an angry look, "The audacity of that bastard to treat me this way! I don't know what got into him out of a sudden, all these years, I've tamed him perfectly, but he became a fox out of a sudden pulling strings to annoy me." When Nancy walked into the room, holding another set of reports, Josephine couldn’t contain her anger."Just because your father made you a CEO, do you think you're superior to me?" she hissed, with a ton

    "Mother," Josephine spoke in a low tone, "you know whatever I do, it is for this family, I've been in this house for so long serving as his wife and your daughter-in-law, I built the reputation of this family along with my husband, how can you say this to me when I was also a part of the glory now winterwood family enjoying?"Alicia snapped at her, "glory? You brought nothing but shame, don't forget how you became the daughter-in-law of this family, from that day till now, there's nothing but humiliation and insults surrounding this family." Josephine opened her mouth to respond, but before she could, Bryan finally stepped forward, "Grandma, right now, I don't think it's important for us to discuss the past." Everyone turned to him, with a curious and surprised expression trying to know what he is trying to do, as they're not sure why Bryan is helping Josephine who treats him nothing but as an enemy."Bryan, this is none of your concern," Neil said sharply. "I advise you to stay out

    "So, are you pitying me?" Bryan asked making Ronald to smile, "not once but thrice, because you'll be one's husband and forever brother to two sisters, I think sister Stacy is also one of them, so not even thrice but four times I pity on you." Bryan rolled his eyes, Mia who glanced at Ronald and Bryan speaking to eachother just frowned, when Ronald looked at her, she immediately turned her face away."Why is she angry with you?" Bryan who observed the fierce reaction of Mia, asked Ronald, but he just lied, "I don't know." At the sametime, Stacy came with a smile, "everything is done, we can go home now." Bryan held Mirabel's hand, "I want to take you home, but this isn't the right time Mira, so...." "Come on prince, did I ever blame you for anything?" Mirabel gently hugged him, "I'll go back to dorm, don't forget to give a call when you reach home." Bryan nodded, she gave a kiss on his forehead, "take medicine well, you need good rest too, don't stress and don't overwork, it's no

Josephine clutched her mobile, "why isn't she answering her call? Don't tell me she and Bryan planned this together?

    'If you ever tarnish this family’s name again," Mr. Wilson continued, with a cold voice, "I will cut you off entirely from this family, no more money, no more support, no more anything. You’ll be on your own, do you understand me?"Tracy nodded slowly, her lower lip trembling. "I understand," she whispered .Her mother folded her arms, her expression still harsh but slightly softened, as after all Tracy is their only daughter whom they loved and cherished a lot."Good, and as for the Winterwoods, we’ll be distancing ourselves from them for a while. After what you’ve done, I don’t want to see or hear their name in this house," those words from her mother left Tracy to be heartbroken.Tracy’s head shot up, panic flashing in her eyes. "No, please! Don’t do that! I—I’ll fix this! I’ll apologize to Bryan, to everyone, and I'm sure Bryan will believe in me, he'll forgive me, I'm the only friend he had, so give me a chance to apologize to Bryan." "It’s too late for that," Mr. Wilson said fi

    The tension in the Wilson household was quite evident, the air thick with anger and disappointment. Tracy sat on the velvet couch in the grand living room, her head bowed, tears streaming down her face. Her parents stood nearby, their expressions a mix of fury and humiliation. The scenes of the disgraceful behaviour of Tracy at the Winterwood party were still fresh in their minds."Do you have any idea what you’ve done, Tracy?" Mr. Wilson, roared, his voice resounding through the room. "You’ve humiliated not only yourself but this entire family! Thanks to you, I can't raise my head and go out in public anymore." Tracy flinched, her hands gripping the edges of her dress tightly. "I didn’t mean to," she began, with a shaking voice, as she isn't sure how things changed from what she originally planned, she wanted to drug Bryan and force him into a relationship with her, but things changed in a different way leaving her as a laughing stock in front of everyone."Didn’t mean to?"

    "This is so exhausting, I don't prefer any kind of parties, from now onwards," Nancy said stretching her arms, looking at the guests leaving.Bryan smiled at her, "I thought you're the one who enjoyed it mostly," Nancy glanced at Bryan, ruffling his hair, "I did just as you said, nothing as enjoyment is here, what about you, did you enjoy the party?""I'm totally blown out, my head is heating up," Bryan said, making her chuckle, as all the guests left, Bryan said to John, "Mr. John, I'm tired, can you manage all these, I'll go to my room to get some rest." John nodded his head, "sure young master." With that, all of them returned to their rooms, Bryan closed the door and collapsed on the bed with a sigh.The night was eerily quiet within the Winterwood estate. Bryan laying on the bed, with his thoughts consumed by his earlier conversation with Mr. Hobbes. The revelation about Josephine and her past truly thrilled him, yet his determination to uncover the truth burned brighter than
