"You're just a liar, don't see me again if that's the case!"
"Ivanka, Honey, you don't understand what I'm doing right now, I--"
The call between Andrew and Ivanka had to be disconnected. Andrew's eyes looked resignedly at the call screen, which had now switched to an incoming call from Erica.
"Can you be patient? I've arrived in front of your house, come out and get into the car quickly. We don't have time, and don't forget to bring the jewelry box of our mother!"
Andrew handed money to the taxi driver and quickly got out of the car. The house door opened, and Erica appeared with a furrowed face, annoyed that she had been waiting for Andrew since early morning.
"Lucky you came, if you keep ignoring my calls and messages, I guarantee I won't bother with you until next week."
The younger sister's complaint was met with Andrew rolling his eyes. The siblings got into Erica's car.
"I sometimes can't believe that you can navigate through c
The ringing of Andrew's phone caused both Andrew and Erica to focus their attention on the square object near the car's console."Can you answer that call or at least silence your phone? It's the third time it's been ringing, and I don't want to accidentally throw your phone away, Andrew."Andrew reached for the phone and turned off the ringer. He then refocused on the road, trying to locate Calvin's house based on the directions provided."Why didn't you answer it? What could you be talking about that I'm not allowed to hear?" Erica gave her brother a sharp look."It's not just you trying to maintain a good mood, Erica. I don't want to hear complaints, curses, and tears from Ivanka. I told her to stop by after leaving here, but she doesn't seem to understand and wants to vent her frustration on me because I haven't seen her all day."Erica raised both hands. "Fine, I'll choose to stay silent, since I still can't accept her presence."Their gaze now shifted to the side of the road, lo
The sound of forks meeting the sides of plates was the only noise in the midst of dinner at Calvin's house. No conversation had taken place since the pieces of lamb entered the mouths of the four adults. Erica glanced at the others alternately and noticed that Daniella occasionally looked at Andrew with questioning eyes. It was evident in her gaze. "Well, Mrs. Daniella, I would be delighted if I could get this meat near my house. Sorry, I mean, this food. This is the most delicious lamb dish ever! I apologize if I interrupt while you're eating, I couldn't hold back my praise." Erica smiled warmly while gazing at Daniella. Erica's skill in making small talk was undeniable, as evidenced by her words. Everyone nodded in agreement and began to praise the food on the table. "Yes, I agree. It reminds me of the dishes my mom used to make. I miss her," Andrew added, and Erica glanced at him while still smiling. Andrew's statement was a lie; he had never received lamb dishes from his moth
The cigarette in Daniella's hand was lit, her red lips appeared to savor the end of the cigarette with delight. The puff of smoke mingled with the chilly night air that was now silent. The only source of sound was the water flowing from the nearby swimming pool at the grand house.Andrew seemed calm as he gazed at the sky. After half an hour of being unable to say anything, he finally managed to stand up and sit next to Daniella by the poolside."How is it going, Andrew? You seem much better now, right? We have some time to talk now, Calvin is in front of the TV watching his favorite movie, and Erica has gone to her room. I mean, it's perfect and fitting to discuss what has happened." Daniella looked at her only child, her eyes still wet from tears.Andrew offered a slight crooked smile. "I'm still quite shocked. It feels like all the craziness that happened has left no traces. Calvin looks calm, and Erica only cried for me, not for the truth about her. Maybe I'
"She's an amazing person. I've never met a woman as strong as Daniella."Andrew's eyes, which were fixed on his birth mother, immediately shifted to Calvin, who was sitting on the bed where Daniella lay."Is this an attempt to make me feel sorry for you or do you genuinely admire each other?""What do you mean, Son?"Andrew smirked and raised both his feet onto the table in front of him as he spoke. "You praise her, and she does the same for you. She says you're the calmest person; I don't know if that's a compliment or not, but her words seem to refer to something positive.""I do praise her, and we respect each other. I don't know if she's told you yet, but we believe in an open relationship. She's used to seeing me with other women, and I don't want to complicate things too much in this world. Life is only lived once, Andrew. I won't let any problems get inside my head. That's why when she said you were her child, I remained calm."Andrew nodded his head and once again directed his
Andrew and Erica exchanged glances as Andrew entered his sister's room. They then chuckled at each other and Andrew approached Erica, who was lying down while reading a novel."Strange day, huh?" Andrew sat on the edge of the bed. "Are you okay if we stay here for the night? It's already ten o'clock in the evening. I also still want to hear a clearer story about my status.""Small talk to cover the uneasiness in your heart, I already know that, Andrew. But, you should reconsider the kind of small talk you want to bring up. We've been stuck in this house since earlier, and now you're only asking me if I'm okay with staying the night here."Andrew tapped his forehead, shook his head slowly, and chuckled. What his sister said was true; he was feeling restless about all the revelations."Do you know how crazy all of this is? I feel like my feet still can't touch the ground.""Why? Isn't this what you've been waiting for, Andrew? I mean, I also cried when I heard that you and I don't share
A glass of water was offered by Andrew to Daniella. The middle-aged woman drank it all and let out a long sigh, leaning back on the long chair by the edge of the pool."Ah, I hope you'll always be prepared for my pitiful state. Just keep the water ready so I can calm myself.""Well, I hope your story can be finished before 7 o'clock. I don't want to arrive late at William's mansion. He's returning today, don't make my life even more chaotic with your presence, Daniella," Andrew said with a crooked smile.Daniella nodded. "Is there a chance for you to stay with me? I mean, after all this mess, do you still want to go back to William?""Just continue the unfinished story, Daniella."The lines on Daniella's face revealed sorrow and regret once again. Andrew's response cut deeply, somewhere deep within, Daniella wished for a relationship like a mother and son. But she was aware that it was unlikely to happen. Andrew had inherited the vengeful nature from William, and he had already shown
"Are you sure you're ready to go? It's still very early, it's four o'clock! What were you thinking? Didn't you want us to leave at seven in the morning?!"Erica exclaimed with irritation as she threw a pillow onto the bed. Andrew had woken her up abruptly, and for a reason. He wanted to leave Calvin and Daniella's house as early as possible, avoiding any more disturbances related to the mistakes his biological mother had made.Andrew had heard all the explanations and had begun to understand what he was going to do. Since the conversation with Daniella had ended, Andrew had been experiencing ups and downs of emotions. He couldn't bear to keep seeing the disturbing visions of the past events that had happened between William and Lily."Stop complaining and just wash your face. I need to meet Ivanka first to calm down all the weird feelings I've had since last night.""What?" Erica folded her arms across her chest, giving her brother a sharp look.Andrew understood the direction the con
"So, Aunt Daniella, right?"Andrew turned to his younger sister, teasing her with the nickname Erica had made up for Daniella."I have no issues with her, so I still respect her as my aunt. What did she give you?""Documents about her company. I took it as compensation for everything that has happened in my life. They abandoned me. Do you agree with what I did?"Erica shrugged. "Who knows? But I agree with you, whatever reasons you give, as long as you remain my brother, Andrew.""Of course, I'll never change. Don't worry about that, Silly. You keep repeating the same lines, I've been with you since we were little, you're my only sister, Erica. By the way, there's something I want to talk to you about."Erica furrowed her brow and said, "What is it? Honestly, I hate it when you suddenly get serious, as if something terrible has happened.""Between being important and not to discuss this, but I want you to know the truth about your age.""What?!" Erica immediately turned off the car ra
Jerome hid under the blanket. What had happened to the three men earlier terrified him."Am I going to die? They definitely won't stay quiet; they'll come back," Jerome mumbled, clutching tightly to the edge of the blanket that covered his body.The sound of a knock on the door startled him, his heart seeming to leap out of his chest. Sweat, which had been absent, now surged all over his body, but the tension eased slightly when he heard his mother's voice."Jerome, are you home?" Meghan, his mother, called out.Jerome quickly hid the necklace he was wearing under his shirt and hurried to open the door for Meghan. His eyes narrowed as he glanced out the window, seeing a man kissing Meghan's neck affectionately."My son! Where have you been, sleeping?" Meghan asked with a broad smile."Who is this?" Jerome asked, looking at the man with jet-black hair who was now fondling Meghan's backside.Meghan pushed the man's hand away awkwardly and was about to answer her only child's question wh
Tampa, January 11, 2024"Jerome, you idiot, can you stop blocking our way!"The shout came from a burly man wearing a black jacket. He was walking with two of his friends, pushing a thin man with curly hair named Jerome Hashford.Jerome, who had fallen, could only look gloomily at the three popular guys on his campus. He then got up and fixed his glasses that had fallen off."How long are you going to stay silent and let yourself be bullied? I'm tired of seeing you like this," said Hans, one of the other popular guys.Hans stood with his girlfriend Margareth, the woman Jerome adored. They both looked furious seeing the three bullies, who were now further away but still laughing."Thanks for the advice, Hans.""I'm not giving advice, Jerome. This is your third year here, and you still stay silent. I mean, why? What are you afraid of? Fight back! You're a man!"Jerome swallowed his saliva and just nodded, saying, "Yes, next time I will try to fight back. I have to go now; I don't want to

The offer seemed reasonable to Calvin, and he handed his phone to Andrew, saying, "Fine! A simple thing that I can easily comply with. Now, make the call, Nania, execute your plan, and be prepared to lose your life if everything fails, Andrew!" "My heart is yours; shoot me if you want. You can sell all my organs on the black market. I'm sure you'll get many times richer because I'm a healthy person. No alcohol, no cigarettes, no drugs, and I don't have any family to look for me if I die. Fair enough, right? At least, your pain from my deception to your mistress can be healed." The nameless old man then nodded and said, "Deal, I agree to your offer! Please get my phone from the car; I left it in the bag under the driver's seat. Let's call Nania now."
Two cold drinks were served on the table in a hospital cafeteria, where the middle-aged woman healed by Andrew was located.Andrew and the man named Stuart sat facing each other. Stuart appeared to be reading a presentation provided by Andrew on his phone."This is an excellent opportunity for me. I, who don't have a background in employment, chosen as a warehouse manager, amazing! I will definitely accept this offer, Sir! I won't waste this opportunity," Stuart exclaimed with sparkling eyes.Andrew raised an eyebrow. "Don't call me 'Sir'; I don't like it. And indeed, this is a great opportunity. You don't need to rent anymore; there's a small house within the vicinity of my company where you can stay. I'll also provide a car for your transportation and supply the groceries and essentials for the house."Stuart was stunned; he chuckled nervously before returning the phone to his hand. So embarrassed hearing what Andrew offered, Stuart ended up finishing his drink in front of him.Andr
Andrew looked gloomy as he stared out of the car window on the way to Stanley's house, the owner of the subsidiary forcibly acquired by William. Roger, noticing Andrew's demeanor, nudged his arm and asked, "What are you thinking?" Andrew raised both eyebrows. "I don't know, just bored, spending time that feels quite monotonous. I'm curious about what made William love a life like this so much." "Money, power, and immortality, the three components always held by William," replied Roger. "Anyway, enjoy what's happening now. After talking to Stanley, let's find some pleasure at the bar." Andrew rolled his eyes and shook his head. "It's not a choice that will make me happy. You know, I--." Andrew's eyes were caught by an elderly woman holding her chest on the side of the road in front of a flower shop. Instantly, he tapped the driver's shoulder and asked to stop. "Why, Andrew?" Roger asked. Andrew didn't speak; when the car stopped, he got out and approached the old woman with white
A group of paparazzi from various local media outlets were crowded in front of Daniella's company, which Andrew would reopen today. Whispers of admiration for the magnificence of this construction company could be heard. Some of them compared it to the grandeur of the late William's company. "It's only natural; she's William's child. It seems she intentionally made her parents' two companies similar!" one paparazzo remarked. From inside the company, Andrew could be seen smiling while puffing on a cigar. Every word from the paparazzi was clearly audible to him. "I wonder about Marcel's reaction. I want to see how annoyed he'll be when he sees this huge company rise again. I truly have become William, haven't I, Roger?" Andrew asked while looking at Roger beside him. "Literally, you are a replica of William. But, I guarantee your pleasure in having two giant companies under your leadership won't drive you to break the rules like William did before, right?" "There's a hint of trauma
