The Art Of The UnderDog Chapter 31
With a heavy and confused heart, Tyker mustered the courage to extend his hand for a handshake with Andrea. However, Andrea didn’t even bother to offer his other hand in return, but instead, he shot Tyker a bewildering and rather disgusting stare. It was as though he was irritated by Tyker’s mere presence. The way Andrea stared at Tyker made it seem like he had stumbled upon something utterly repulsive on his hand. Feeling self-conscious, Tyker looked down at his hand, quickly checking to ensure there was nothing remotely disgusting on it.“I just moisturized my hand,” Andrew said with an air of calm disdain in his tone. “I’m sorry, I can’t accept a handshake now.” Tyler felt a mix of embarrassment and annoyance, but he managed to conceal his true emotions behind a forced smile. After all, he had faced far more demeaning insults from people than the one he received from Andrea.With a nod of his head, Tyker settled back into his chair, feeling a mix of confusion and disbelief washing

Andrea took deliberate steps, each footfall carrying him deeper into the dimly lit room, an enigmatic aura surrounding him. Tyler’s gaze remained unflinchingly fixed upon Andrea, an intensity that seemed to carve a path from head to toe, scrutinizing every nuance. A palpable tension simmered in the air, creating a charged atmosphere that crackled with unspoken words and unresolved emotions. In the depths of Andrea’s eyes, shadows danced, painting his gaze with an almost eerie darkness that mirrored the weight of the moment.“Tyler,” Andrea’s voice rippled through the room once more, its timbre a fusion of determination and significance that seemed to resonate against the very walls. This time, his words bore a renewed strength, as if he had drawn from an unseen well of resolve. The echoes of his name hung in the air, waiting for a response that seemed suspended in the tension.However, Tyler maintained his silence, a spectator to the enigma that was Andrea. Seated in stillness, he stud

Tyler’s brows furrowed in response, the question a puzzle he grappled to decipher. The waves of his confusion met Andrea’s gaze, locked in a battle of wills and perceptions. “I beg your pardon?” Tyler’s voice bore the undertones of both frustration and bewilderment, the contours of his expression mirroring the storm of emotions swirling within him.In response, Andrea’s features shifted, a ripple of disgust crossing his countenance like a storm cloud eclipsing the sun. The look, a venomous concoction of emotions, seemed to burn with intensity, as if every fiber of his being had been ignited by a hidden flame. In that moment, the unspoken exchange took on an almost palpable form, a battlefield of emotions that seemed to echo within the walls of the room.The room, once a haven of unspoken complexities, became a battleground of emotions as Andrea’s words cleaved through the air like a sharpened blade, each syllable cutting deep into Tyler’s core.

Tyler’s response was a guttural growl, a sound that resonated with the primal intensity of a wolf halting its charge on the precipice of attack. His command, like a thunderous decree, echoed through the room, his voice a mixture of raw power and unyielding determination. His stance, a visual embodiment of his resolve, seemed to carve an invisible boundary between them, an unspoken warning that Andrea dared not ignore.Andrea’s smile, a wisp of sly amusement, seemed to dance upon the edges of his lips as he placed his hand upon Tyler’s shoulder. The gesture, an intimate touch that defied the tension of their encounter, was juxtaposed against the words that followed. “Poor dog can only bark but have no action,” Andrea’s words were a taunt, the sting of his mockery a provocation that cut to the quick. His words, a calculated strike, cast a shadow of doubt upon Tyler’s resolve, a challenge to the very core of his being.Tyler’s features, already a fiery red, seemed to blaze with an intensi

Tyler’s abrupt awakening was marked by a sudden jolt, his body surging upwards from the comfort of the bed, perspiration trickling down in rivulets across every contour of his face. His heart, like an overenthusiastic drummer, pounded relentlessly within the cage of his ribs, the muscles around his eyes exhibiting small, involuntary twitches as they struggled to focus on a seemingly inconspicuous point in the room. A potent cocktail of fear and anxiety was painted across his features, each emotion etched vividly as his breaths escalated into an almost aggressive rhythm.Surveying his surroundings with a gaze that seemed to comb through every inch of the room, Tyler’s eyes scoured as though in search of an elusive answer. Then, in the midst of this tumultuous tempest of emotions, a realization slowly unfurled within him like the petals of a blooming flower. “Oh dang it!” He snapped. It was all but a dream, a figment of his subconscious weaving a tapestry of surreal narratives. A sigh,

Tyler felt a wave of relief wash over him as he realized that his mother's intentions were not what he had feared. He chuckled nervously, feeling somewhat embarrassed by his overactive imagination."Sorry, Mom," he said sheepishly, "I guess I let my mind wander into some dark territory."His mother's stern expression softened, and she gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "It's okay, dear," she replied with a gentle smile. "I know you're going through a lot right now. It's natural for your mind to play tricks on you."Tyler nodded, grateful for his mother's understanding. He knew that their conversation would still be a difficult one, but at least he could put one fear to rest."I just... I want to talk about what happened earlier," Tyler began, taking a deep breath to steady himself. "I know I've made some choices that might have hurt you, and I want to explain why I made them."His mother nodded, her expression softening with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. She remained si

“Wait a moment,” Tyler interjected, his brow furrowed in a mix of concern and disbelief. “You’re talking about killing me? How would that even happen?” The bewilderment in Tyler’s voice was unmistakable, mirroring his equally puzzled expression. He fixed his narrowed gaze upon Andreas, awaiting an explanation that could possibly shed light on this cryptic conversation.Andrea, on the other hand, remained quiet, his silence hanging in the air like a heavy curtain. He seemed to be carefully considering his words, as if each one carried significant weight. A palpable stillness enveloped the room, punctuated only by the sound of their breaths.Finally, Andrea took a deliberate step forward, drawing closer to Tyler. Their eyes locked in an intense gaze, their pupils dancing in a silent conversation of their own.

Tyler woke up the next morning, still basking in the afterglow of the revelation Andrea had shared with him the previous day. The weight of her words had settled in his mind, and he found himself replaying their conversation over and over. Despite his intrigue, he realized he needed to make sure his mother was alright, so he attempted to call her, only to be met with the frustration of an unanswered call. Disheartened by the lack of response, Tyler refused to let Andrea’s words burrow too deeply into his emotions.Determined to find clarity amidst the whirlwind of thoughts, Tyler resolved to speak with Lady Guila, seeking the answers that would shed light on the unfolding situation. He donned his meticulously chosen navy blue suit, an emblem of his intention to embark on a new day and face the uncertainties ahead.

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.

“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

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.

Despite Tyler’s intense urge to lash out, he maintained a fixed gaze, determined not to succumb to his temper. He longed to deliver a punch straight to Andrea’s face.“You’ve made the right choice.

It felt violated, as if the sanctity of your home had been desecrated.”A whirlwind of emotions engulfed Tyler. His chest tightened, suffo
