"I guess you know George Melmer, your boyfriend's brother-in-law," Dan said out loud, repeating the question he had asked Sally in her dream."What do you mean by that question, and why are you asking me?" Sally asked furrowing her brows."Calm down, I mean no harm. Do you know him or not?" He asked me to fold his arms.Sally sighed softly and replied, "Yes, I do.""You have to work hand in hand with me, I know you're also after The Melmers' inheritance," Dan said, moving to her back. He caressed her shoulders gently."You know, we could make a team." He said and moved away from him."I don't know you, and I'm not in the mood to discuss nonsense with you, just let me go, someone is waiting for me outside."Sally didn't allow him to say anything before she walked out on him. She sighted Austin from the window and rushed downstairs, She wondered what he wanted. Austin waited impatiently for Sally outside, he wondered where she had been. He sat on a block, and as soon as he saw her
Anna walked into the living room where George was sitting on the couch, reading a book. She looked worried, and George could sense that something was wrong."Hey, what's going on?" George asked, setting his book aside and giving Anna his full attention.Anna took a deep breath before answering. "My foster parents called me today. They're about to lose their bakery."George raised his eyebrows in surprise. He knew Anna's foster parents had a bakery, but he didn't realize they were struggling."What happened?" George asked.Anna shrugged. "They didn't give me all the details, but it sounds like they're having trouble making ends meet. They sounded really upset, and I don't know what to do.George nodded, understanding Anna's concern. "Have you talked to your dad about it?"Anna hesitated before answering. "I don't want to bother him with this. He's already done so much for me, and I don't want to be a burden."George put his arm around Anna's shoulder. "You're not a burden, Anna. Your d
After George got home, he met Anna sleeping on the couch in the living room. She must have been stressed. He didn't bother to wake her.He walked into the kitchen and dished food from the microwave himself. After eating, he took a blanket from their big-sized bed and laid it on her, ensuring she didn't feel any sort of cold.He entered the bathroom and took a quick bath. While he was in the bathroom, his mind went to the way Austin ignored him earlier, he felt rejected. Anna was the only person that made him stay and endure.After bathing, he changed into his nightwear and slept with the bed lamp on.George's phone rang in the early hours of the morning. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and answered groggily."George, it's Sir Matt. I need you to do me a favor," the voice on the other end of the line said urgently."Of course, Sir Matt. What do you need?" George replied, now fully awake."I have some documents that I need to be delivered to someone very important. They're incredibly
The other masked men approached the car, wielding baseball bats and crowbars, and quickly pulled George out of the car. The Uber driver was immediately scared and took off without looking back, leaving George to face the attackers alone."What do you want from me?" George asked, trying to keep his cool."Hand over the briefcase," the leader of the group demanded, pointing his baseball bat at George."I don't know what you're talking about," George replied, trying to hide the briefcase behind his back."Cut the crap, we know you have the briefcase. We were tipped off by someone who wants it, and we're not leaving without it."George could see the determination in their eyes and knew that he was in serious trouble. He tried to run, but one of the attackers quickly caught up to him and hit him with a crowbar, causing him to fall to the ground.The group then proceeded to beat George mercilessly, hitting him with their weapons and kicking him while he was down. George lay on the ground, g
As George kept on following the man, he was attacked again, when he looked back he discovered the man he was following was one of the masked men. George stumbled down the lonely street, nursing his bruises and cuts. He couldn't believe what had just happened. He had been so foolish to follow the man, and now he had not only lost the briefcase but also disclosed the owner's identity to the masked men.He looked up and saw the same masked man standing in front of him, a smug look on his face."Didn't think it would be that easy, did you?" the man sneered.George gritted his teeth in pain but managed to speak through his clenched jaw. "Who are you, people? What do you want?"The masked man chuckled. "We want what's ours," he said. "And you, George, just made it a whole lot easier for us to get it."George tried to stand up straight, but his legs were shaky. "I don't understand," he said. "What did I do? Haven't you gotten what you wanted?"The masked man stepped closer, his breath hot o
The masked men gathered in a secluded location, their faces hidden behind masks. One of them pulled out a phone and dialed a number."Hello?" a voice answered on the other end."It's done," the masked man said. "We got the briefcase.""Excellent work," the voice on the other end said. "I'll transfer the payment to you now."The masked man waited as the payment came through on his phone. He checked it and nodded, satisfied with the amount."Thank you," he said. "Is there anything else?""Yes," the voice said. "I have another job for you. Something bigger."The masked men exchanged glances, their curiosity piqued."What do you have in mind?" the masked man asked."I'll tell you when the time is right," the voice said. "But for now, rest assured that you'll be well compensated for your services."The masked men nodded, pleased with the prospect of more work and more money."We'll be ready when you need us," the masked man said."Good," the voice said. "I'll be in touch."The call ended,
Sir Matt believed what the Uber driver had to say because Austin was involved. He had earlier contacted Austin to tell him about the issue and Austin had promised to look into it which he did and came up with the Uber driver.He shook his head as he felt so bad about it. He had never expected that George would do such a thing. They had only hated him because he was a man of no level and class and all the while he lived with them, he never stole or got accused of stealing.This was the first, to know that he had actually planned this out with the guys that attacked him got Sir Matt angry."Why would he do such a thing when they were giving him everything he needed? House, shelter, food, and clothing. It was very strange and uncalled for and it got Sir Matt very disappointed."Dad, let's do something quick about this. This useless man here is evil, I have been trying to point it out but none of you saw it. He is mean and wicked, after everything we had done for him, he chose to repay us
The summer breeze whooshed past George's face as he stepped out of the compound of the Melmer's Mansion."The smell of summer is so nice," He said out loud to no one in particular. "It smelled especially nice today" He noted again, smiling sadly.He took in a deep breath of the summer's fresh air, and it felt so calming, so soothing. It went through his lungs, down to his veins, and deep down his core with a new level of relief. Finally, he was free from the shackles of the Melmer family and their bitter hatred towards him.He looked behind him, at the mansion, promising himself that it was the last time he was going to ever look back at it. The sad smile on his face vanished instantly, and the pain was evident in his eyes. The Mansion held a lot of memories for him. Sir Matt had always tried to treat him like his own biological son, even when the whole family had been so opposed to the idea of making him marry Anna, Sir Matt had still stood by him then.George had been seeing Sir Ma
