Ever since he married into the family, he had never supported it with any cent. His academic result was nothing but nonsense. He couldn't get even a cleaner job, so what's the use of staying married?“You can use the money to start up a new life far away from here. Ten million can change your worthless life into something worth living for, don't you think?” She asked sarcastically.“Mother, do I look like someone who could be bought with money? Or do you think I can be bought, similar to how the billionaire bought you off to come and bribe me?” Eric was pissed, but he hid it under a fake smile as he spat.“What the heck? Bought? I am not that cheap, you know!” She fumed.“Then why did you collect the money? I knew he must have given you some, or else you wouldn't have been moved to support him.” Eric countered her, smirking.“You know, I might have been willing if the billionaire was not so stingy to offer me just 20 million dollars.” Eric grinned as he walked towards the briefcase.“If he had been willing, and given up all his property, then added to give up his life with it, I might have agreed, or what do you think?” He taunted more.She was taken aback by how striking his words were. Though it was true, no one was there when the whole thing happened. Moreover, the billionaire was more than capable. If Samantha should be with him, she would enjoy all the luxury she wanted and also Rachel thought she could benefit from it.“Insolence!” Rachel snapped as she jumped on her feet.” He didn't bribe me, I just saw he is a suitable person compared to you. He is rich, handsome, and capable but look at you, you looked like someone who crawled out of a pit.” Rachel grinned as she ridiculed him.“But I am more handsome than your husband. If I crawled out from a pit, then he must have crawled out of a toilet sink. Don't you think?” Eric's words struck right at her chest and she couldn't breathe.Her eyes turned red, and her chest puffed like she was going to explode. Seeing this, Eric grinned more, and she almost jumped on him, but then she didn't after a thought crawled into her head.She then sat down calmly like she wasn't the one yelling just a while ago.“I knew you would say this. You have eyes for big things, huh? How about this?” She grinned and pulled out another case, making it two.“This is another ten million dollars. Now, what do you think?” She raised a brow at him. Her mind had concluded that there was no way he would reject twenty million when he had nothing.Eric smiled. He stood up and picked the cases, then walked towards her and poured out all the money on the floor.“My wife is not for sale. There is no amount of money you'll offer me that I will collect. Stop wasting your time!” Eric grinned instead, looking like he was enjoying the whole thing he was doing.Once again, Rachel was stunned. The audacity of Eric had grown extremely high. If she was told he was going to reject this sum, then she could have argued to death.He was the same person who always came to her to ask for a few dollars, yet he was the same person rejecting millions. Hilarious right?“Why are you being such a pest? Don't you know that you have ruined my daughter's life? Don't you know you are like a curse, depriving her of good luck?” Rachel was overwhelmed.“And who is the good luck? Is it the person you want to sell your daughter to that you are calling such?” Eric said expressionless.“Don't you care about your daughter's happiness?” He raised a brow at her.“And who tells you she's happy around you? If it wasn't for me giving her some penny, both of you could have died of hunger! Just look at you. You are so shameless!” Rachel spouted.Eric felt hit by those words but quickly brushed it off. His wife was kind enough to stay with him when he had nothing, but now things would be different. He had sworn to make things better for her and make her enjoy to the fullest.“My wife didn't ask me to leave her, that should tell you she's happy with me. If you can accept that then you and that billionaire can try to do your worst but let me warn you,” Eric let out a smile that sent shivers.“I won't spare anyone who makes my wife uncomfortable. That's how ruthless I can be.” He continued.“Ooh, well, what can a dog like you do? With the snap of his fingers, you will be wiped off the surface of this earth. You better go down to the floor and take this money. Don't worry, I will tell Samantha, you figured you would do her no good, that's why you left.” Rachel snickered.“Do you know what you sound like?” Eric suddenly said, ignoring her words. Rachel was dazzled. She didn't know what he meant by those words, so she could only stare at him.“You sound so cheap!” Eric smiled and walked off the door chucking.

Meanwhile, down the outskirts of the city.Samantha was inside the house trying to prepare a meal when she heard a knock on the door. Thinking it was Eric, she quickly rushed towards the door and opened it.To her wildest surprise, who she saw wasn't him, but someone she never expected.“Micheal? What are you doing here?” She gasped in shock. “Did something happen to Eric?” she asked after noticing he was with so many men dressed in suits.But then there was one among them who stood out. He was standing just beside Micheal with a smile on his face. He had long curly hair that was tied into a bun. His appearance alone reels of riches.“No. Eric is fine. We are just here to see you.” Micheal smiled, but she gave him a stiff look. He had never visited ever since she married Eric, and now he was here to talk to her. For what?“Won't you let us in? Do you want to leave your brother standing by the door?” Michael smiled.Sighing, Samantha paved the way for them to walk in. But then she neve

Michael stood there, looking quite shocked at how Eric spoke to them. He wondered where Eric suddenly got the voice and gut to talk to them in such a manner. “Are you deaf, or do you want me to speak it to you in a different language?” Eric asked as he gestured with his hands, pointing at his head. Michael heaved a sigh and nodded his head slowly while Edward who could not stand the embarrassment started to walk out of the room. “You better think this through, boy. There is no way you will get a better offer, you just have to take this one and have the assurance of living a better life.” Michael said, gesturing with his hands as he looked at Michael. Michael smirked as a thought struck his mind. If I want to buy your entire family, I will, and I will do it with just a phone call. Michael thought and he smirked. “Get out,” Eric repeated and Micheal had no choice but to go out of the room to meet with Edward, who was already waiting outside. Eric held the doorknob, looking at Michael

Samantha was really excited about Eric having a job. She could not hide her excitement as she jumped into the arms of Eric, who hugged her tightly as if he were never letting her go. They stayed in that hug for a few moments, and Samantha pulled out of the hug, giving Eric another deep kiss on the lips. Eric closed his eyes as Samantha's lips struck his own and he kissed her deeply too. “I love you. It does not have to do with money or material things. I genuinely love you from the bottom of my heart. Don't think about what my family is saying. Look at you now, about to get a job. I hope everything goes well.” Samantha said in a convincing tone and Eric could not help but smile at his wife, thinking that his wife loved him so much despite that he did not have money. She smiled at him too, and all that she thought of was how her husband would finally get a job and put her family and others to shame. Eric continued to stare into her eyes with only one thought in my mind. How long can

No one seemed to be interested in what Eric was saying, but he understood perfectly why no one wanted to answer him. He took a deep breath tilted his head to one of the men, and asked again.“What is going on here?” He asked curiously, directing the question to the man, but he did not answer as he continued to beat the young man on the ground.“I am talking to you,” Eric stated in a loud tone, and he finally grabbed the attention of the people around as they tilted their heads to look at Eric.“Who is this low-class person, trying to know what's going on?” Eric heard a woman mumbled from the back, but he feigned ignorance and did as if he did not hear what she had said.“And who do you think you are?” The man asked as he gave Eric a wild look. “Is that necessary? I just want to know why you all are beating the young man.” Etic replied in a calm tone, and another woman came forward before the man could reply.“Who are you? You don't look like someone who is worth explaining what happen

“Mom, I need some cash for shopping,” Michael said as he approached his mom, Rachael, and she tilted her head to look at him with a side eye, not saying anything to her son.“Mom, I am talking to you,” Michael said rapidly as he tilted his head to look at his mom, who had a frown on her face.“Oh, cut the crap. Don't give me all that bull shit. Did you keep any money with me?” Rachael snapped at Michael, and his face lit up in shock, as he did not expect his mother to yell at him in such a manner. “Mom!” Michael called out slowly as he struggled to believe he was not dreaming.“Son!” Rachael called back as she looked at Michael fiercely. Rachael stared at him for a moment, and Michael drifted back a bit to have a better look at his mother. He could still not believe his eyes or ears.“Mom! Are you serious right now this is not funny at all.” Michael said, his voice breaking as he spoke.“Are you surprised? Oh, yes, this is me telling you that I can no longer give you my money to fund

“I am sorry, but that's the job we can offer you with your qualifications.” The interviewer stated, and Michael's face slowly transformed into a frown as he was not having it with the interviewer.“Check my results and document well. You might be making a mistake here.” Michael stated again, and the interviewer stared at him sternly, not making a comment.“Are you taking the job or not?” The interviewer asked, and Michael's heart skipped a beat as he heard what the interviewer asked him. How can I take such an offer? He questioned himself.“But. but. There is someone who fits the cleaning job perfectly. He is outside in the applicant section.” Michael stated with his eyebrows furrowed slightly, hoping to convince the interviewer to offer him another job, but the interviewer did not respond to his request.Michael looked at the interviewer in disdain, and anger began to brew inside of him. “Do you know who I am?” Michael suddenly asked, and the interviewer tilted his head to look at h

Michael angrily went home with only one thought in his mind. Why would he be offered a cleaning job even with his qualifications? He wondered. He stepped into the living room, but he did not see anyone at home. “Mom!” He called but no response. He stood there for a minute as if he were thinking of what to do. He heaved a sigh as he walked away from the living room and headed directly to his room. He tossed his documents on the bed and sat down on the edge of the bed, thinking about what had happened at the company. How could Eric be considered for employment over him? He wondered.He could not take his mind off Eric and the bet that he lost to him. He took a deep breath and went back to the parlor with the purpose of getting a drink. When he got there, he forgot what brought him to the sitting room, and he stood there akimbo. He suddenly heard a knock on his door. It came so rapidly and it infuriated Michael.“Who is that? Do you want to bring the door down?” He asked in a harsh tone

Rachel was shocked to hear what Darius had just said. She knew returning the money was near impossible at this point, and she had to find a way to convince Darius that it was not the best thing to do. She heaved a sigh as she tilted her head to look at Michael, and he tilted his head away.Michael thought of what to say to Darius as he tilted his head away from his mother, looking at the painting on the wall.“Don't let us go through that path.” Rachel suddenly said, and Michael tilted his head back to look at them, clearing his throat slightly.“It's what is best for both of us. Since you could not convince him to let go, Samantha. Then I feel returning my money is the best for us.” Darius said slowly as if he were counting his words as he spoke them, while Michael shook his head slowly, disagreeing with what Darius had said. He knew what they would be losing if they allowed Darius to have his money back, so they were ready to do everything possible to keep him in the family. “Yes,

Their gaze fell on Samantha as she walked rapidly with a smile on her face as she walked towards Eric, who looked away from her as he wanted to act like he was angry at her.

When I just received the call from him, and he asked me to come over, I didn't know what to do. I had wanted to tell you, but he had instructed me not to tell you.” She explained and at this point, Lydia was already smiling.“You got us all worried.

“It's Emily.” Her voice echoed and Eric quickly drew his face into a puzzle as he looked at her before she picked up the call and placed it over her ear to talk to Emily. Eric looked away from her as different thoughts ran through his mind. Just then, he tilted his head back to look at Lydia, who was still talking to Emily over the phone.“Where are you now?” Lydia asked and then tilted her head to look at Eric, who was looking directly into her eyes for a moment before she brought the phone off her ear to place the call on the loudspeaker.“On my way out of my house, I met someone in front of my doorstep. He is not letting me leave the house. Have you arrived at Master Eric's house?” She talked rapidly, and Eric slowly took his gaze away as different thoughts ran through his mind. “What was she talking about?” He asked himself.“Yes.

“That's very true. But at least, I should have gotten a hint that she was going out. Even if she did not tell me that she was coming to your place. Do you know how worried I was?” Eric asked in a sharp tone as he heaved a heavy sigh of relief.“Well, sorry you had to go through all those worries. I am done actually with her, and she will be back to your pace very soon.” He said, and Eric inhaled deeply as he looked to expel his anger and talk in a calm tone. He stood up from the bed and just as he was about to talk, a knock came in on the door, and he turned around to walk to the door.“Okay. I will be waiting for her.” He heaved a sigh as he walked to the door to get the door. As he tilted the doorknob, his gaze fell on the maid who brought his food to him, and he opened the door widely for her to bring the food inside the room. “Thank you.

Eric woke up to the buzzing sound of his phone, and he opened his eyes slowly to check who was calling him. As he looked around for his phone, he noticed that Samantha was not in bed with him, and it made him draw a puzzled face as he wondered where she could be at that point in time. Not minding that his phone was ringing, he sat up slowly on the bed and rubbed his palm over his face as he thought deeply, about where she might be. A thought popped up in his mind and he tilted his head immediately to look at the bathroom, but there was no sign at all that she was there.“Samantha!” He yelled out and waited to see if he would get any response, but he did not get any. He gradually came off the bed, heaving a sigh as he tossed his phone on the bed before walking towards the bathroom to check.“Samantha!” He called lowly as he walked inside the bathroom and looked everywhere but could not find her. “Where is she?” He asked himself as he quickly walked out of the room and headed out to lo

“How did you know that?” Samantha asked with a frown on her face, but Eric kept tapping her gently to maintain calmness so that Rachael could go on with what she was saying.“Someone told me about it. I would not say the name of the person for some reason.” She raised her head to look at her daughter and then at Eric for a moment before she inhaled deeply to talk.“I know, you probably don't ever want to have anything to do with me, but I just want you to let me clear my mind and make things right.” “There is nothing to make a right, mom. You already made your mark and you stood by it.” Samantha chipped in immediately, tilting her head to look at her husband for a moment before she exhaled deeply.“Sam, I told you to calm down. Just let her finish what she has to say.” Eric tilted his head back to look at Rachael before he talked to her.“You can go on.” Eric's voice echoed, and Rachael made a sign to thank him.

Eric noticed how perturbed she was, and then he moved closer to her to talk to her.“You should be calm. She is going to be alright.” He said in a low tone, and she immediately tilted her head to look at Eric who had a pale look on his face.“She still had not sent her address.

Eric and Samantha also took their seat on the same side of the chair.“Now to the next part of the night's activities,” Eric said in a low tone, and they all tilted their heads to look at him as he looked at Samantha for a moment and thought of what next to say. He then tilted his head back to look at them before he talked.“We wanted to play some couple's game. So since there are three couples now, it's the best.” Eric said slowly as his eyes darted between Lydia and Emily. They looked at themselves, and then Emily cleared her throat to talk.“What games are we playing?” She asked, and they all looked at her for a moment before Samantha talked.“The one that couples play.

You are now the head of the family. You can choose to do whatever you want to do with them.” Sir Chadwick grunted lightly as he stood up from the chair and walked slowly away from the sitting room but halted his steps, turning around to look at Eric as if he remembered to say something.“You can find your back to the mansion.
