Tyler’s eyes flew wide open at the unexpected sound, snapping him out of a dreamlike state. It was as if a shotgun had gone off in his mind, the clarity jolting him awake, his senses racing to determine who had uttered those four crucial words. As his eyes snapped open, Jen glanced toward the source of the voice, her gaze locking onto the same spot. Tyler’s breath hitched as his eyes widened in shock, his jaw dropping slightly in disbelief.“Grandma?” Tyler faltered, the word catching in his throat as shock rippled through him. The sudden appearance of his grandmother stood like an unexpected apparition in the room, rendering a peculiar stillness among them all. Today, Grandma stood so far away from Tyler, an impossible distance that seemed to widen as he remained glued to his seat, unable to bridge the gap. Fiorenzo hovered protectively behind her, flanked by two other men whose presence added an air of solemnity to the unexpected reunion.The tension in the room was palpable, a char

“Did you just ask me what I have ever done for you?” Lady Guila’s voice, softened by a trace of hurt, quivered as she struggled to comprehend Rosie’s and Andrea’s conversation in the dimly lit room.“Oh, indeed, that’s precisely what I questioned. What contributions have you made? I’ve poured my soul into your company and family. From the tenderest years, I’ve toiled ceaselessly for this establishment and your kin, yet what recompense have I received? Nothing. Instead, you’ve ushered in this outsider, claiming he’s your heir to inherit the family legacy. Do you fathom the profound devastation I felt when that decision was made?” Andrea’s words, laden with bitterness, reverberated off the walls of the enclosed space.Lady Guila’s widened eyes reflected her astonishment and a hint of dismay as she absorbed Andrea’s impassioned words. Despite Tyler’s persistent warnings about Andrea’s deceitful nature, she’d vehemently dismissed them, holding steadfast faith in him. Never could she have f
The sound of the gunshot shattered the tense silence, the explosive discharge filling the air with a sharp crack that seemed to tear through the fabric of the room. It was Tyler’s own firearm, the 5.54 caliber entrusted to him by Andrea, the weapon now acting on his impromptu decision, aimed not at an enemy but in defense of Lady Guila. In the chaos, Andrea staggered backward, a splatter of crimson bursting forth from the wound on the right side of his chest, his body collapsing in a slow, anguished descent.Tyler’s heart raced, adrenaline surging through his veins as he witnessed the sudden turn of events. His eyes widened in a mixture of disbelief and realization. While his actions were impulsive, the consequences now lay before him, a pang of remorse piercing his chest. Not for the act of firing the shot, but for the unexpected twist fate had taken, allowing Andrea, despite his wrongdoings, a swift departure instead of facing the due consequences.“You… you bastard,” Andrea’s voice
Tyler's heart raced as he found himself in a desperate situation. His mother's life hung in the balance, and he needed money urgently to ensure her treatment. Having just left the hospital where the doctor warned him of her deteriorating condition, he rushed to his workplace, filled with a sense of urgency and desperation.Ignoring any semblance of office etiquette, Tyler banged on his boss's door, his tense body not allowing him to wait for permission. In his mind, all that mattered was saving his mother, who was battling cancer.“Good da…” Tyler trailed off as his jaw dropped impromptu and his eyes dilated. He saw Clara and both she and his boss were naked!Tyler couldn’t believe what his eyes beheld. He stood with weak legs and gawked at Clara and his boss. “Cla… No, this can not be happening. No!” He shrieked and jiggled his head trying his best to not believe his visions but unfortunately it was beaming to his face. “What the fuck are you doing? What the fuck!!!?” He growled. H
“Get off the road you moron! I’m not the one who is going to kill you, son of a biscuit!” The driver screamed and showed his middle finger at Tyler as he managed to swerve him to the other side. Tyler winced in amazement and fear as he realized he got close to death but overcame it. The young man drove away in his white Mercedes. Tyler roamed for more than an hour before he finally reached the hospital. He needed to see his mother but it scared him more of how he was going to break the news to her. How was she going to take it? How was he going to care for her and pay for her bills? “Stop!”the security stopped Tyler just as he was about entering the hospital“What is wrong?” He quizzed totally dumbfounded. The security personnel frowned. “You are not allowed in here anymore” the security man let out. “what gives you the right to say that to me?” Tyler read his name from his name tag on the right side of his breast. Soberness slowly creeped back to him. “The management has instruc
"What have I done? Why are you arresting me?" Tyler exclaimed, his voice trembling with fear as his heart sank. His body tensed up, feeling the pressure of being firmly pressed against the glass table by the relentless grip of the officers."Shut up!" barked one of the officers, trying to silence Tyler. But he continued to struggle, desperately pleading, "Please, I need to go and save my mother. Please!" His voice turned into a high-pitched screech, echoing through the store. The commotion drew the attention of onlookers who swiftly pulled out their phones, capturing the intense scene while exchanging worried whispers amongst themselves.As the chaos unfolded, the store's entrance became jammed with the arrival of a woman adorned in an exquisite, perfectly tailored black gown. Her attire exuded elegance and timelessness, accentuating her graceful silhouette. Cashmere scarves artfully draped around her, adding an air of sophistication to her presence.Accompanied by a retinue of guards
"Please place your finger here," one of Tyler's Grandma's guards instructed, gesturing towards a biometric scanner. Tyler glanced up at the guard, his eyes narrowed with a mix of skepticism and curiosity, his eyebrow arched inquisitively."Here," the guard clarified, pointing towards a sleek briefcase. Tyler turned his gaze back to his newfound grandmother, seeking reassurance. She nodded, her expression conveying a sense of affirmation, and her smile held a touch of uniqueness that resonated with him."I don't have time for this. I just want to go save my mother right now. Please!" Tyler pleaded, his voice filled with urgency, as he stood up from the couch, tears welling up in his eyes. "Just let me go.""Calm down, Ciccio," Lady Guila exhaled softly, rubbing her hands together. "Alright, if you are so determined to save Greta, I would advise you to wait and open the briefcase. I actually feel bad that because of my stiffness, I had to lose my son and his family. My heart aches whene
