“You are fired,”. The booming words that broke out of Grandpa Tony's mouth through the phone, left Valencia paralyzed in pristine trepidation. Blood rained out of her system as the words hit her eardrums. “Wh-what,” Valencia stammered. She couldn't believe her ears. Her ears were whizzing with these distasteful words. They were swirling in her mind like a tsunami. Her heart sank, and her hands started trembling. “Did I stutter,”? Grandpa Tony raised a question from the other side. His tone contains an unsaid portent. “You can't do this to me,” Valencia screeched. Hitting the table vase near her. It smashed to the floor, infringement into pieces. People nearby glance at her strangely, but she glares at her. They succumb away from their leaving her alone. Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest. She rubbed her clammy hands on her dress. Her phone almost slipped from her fingers. She still can't believe what she is hearing. “Try me,” Grandpa Tony asked in an incurable tone. Va
Gabriel settled into the plush embrace of his chair, his eyes tracing the intricate patterns of sunlight dancing through the gigantic window. The once elusive possession now firmly in his grasp, a triumphant grin played on his lips as he savored the sweet taste of victory, fingertips gently tracing the contours of his newfound throne.Mere hours ago, Gabriel wore the insignificance of a mundane existence, a mere footnote in the saga of familial ties.Now, fate had bestowed upon him the cloak of sole heir, transforming the insignificance into a cloak of destiny. His journey from anonymity to the solitary guardian of a vast fortune, weaving a tale more captivating than any he had ever imagined.Life's relentless passage and the ticking hands of time sculpted Gabriel's essence, molding a version of himself that, while unwavering in belief in the inherent goodness of the world, now bore the scars of wisdom earned. In the crucible of existence, he grasped the harsh truth: to navigate the
“You are fired,”. The booming words that broke out of Grandpa Tony's mouth through the phone, left Valencia paralyzed in pristine trepidation. Blood rained out of her system as the words hit her eardrums. Fear gripped her insides. Cold sweat glistening on her forehead. She hastily wiped it with her forearm. “Wh-what,” Valencia stammered.

Valencia stilled at his answer. She has never told anyone about her family or anything related to them. She was frustrated. Not only that, but she can't understand why a servant is calling her and telling her that she is fired. Furthermore, she has always taken orders from him, but it was more like opinion in business matters. Likewise, she thought he was important in Sigmund's family, but later she discovered he was not. Gazing at herself in the mirror, an ugly smirk appeared on her face. Looks like she has to throw this cloak for being fake two-goody shoes. “You are smarter than I thought of, you old hag,” Valencia taunted through the phone. Her eyes were twinkling with fury and destruction. Grandpa Tony's forehead scrunched in confusion at her change of tone.

THREE YEARS AGO: AT SIGMUND'S MANSION:It was Gabriel's birthday when his life turned upside down. Elijah pressed his hand to his chest in pain. Gabriel was giving him medicine when someone hit him from behind.Gabriel grabbed his head and looked back. He couldn't see his face, covered with black covet. He fell to the floor and his vision went blurry. He saw that man putting something in Elijah's mouth, and then everything went blank. Gabriel woke up with a gasp as a bucket of water was splashed over him. He lifted his foggy eyes to see that all his family members were standing before him with murderous glares. “Grandfather,” Gabriel whispered. “He is alive. You did your best to kill him right,”? Gabriel's cousin, Noah, sneered at him. “I di-didn't do anything,” Gabriel said, standing up. “Tell me why you did it. For property,” Gabriel's uncle growled at him. Accusations were thrown over him from every angle. They didn't listen to anything and kicked him out of the house. Gabrie
