Early in the morning, when Morel came out of his room, he was surprised to see Doris still in his house. Doris was all dressed up, wearing an elegant blazer, and looking ready to go. His hair was neatly styled, and his face showed an unusual seriousness as if there was a heavy burden that he had to deal with immediately. Seeing Morel looking confused, Doris immediately greeted politely, "Good morning, Master Morel. I'm sorry if I'm interrupting, but I'd like to return to the city due to a problem with one of the Spencer family businesses." Morel simply remained silent, trying not to care about Doris' words, even though his heart felt uncomfortable. He stared blankly at the window, looking at the sunlight shining into the courtyard of the tiny house, making the atmosphere warm yet contrasting with his cold, alienated feeling. In his mind, dark memories from the past came back to haunt him, taking him back to the times when his life felt perfect but was shattered in an instant.He fee
Morel shut himself in his room for two whole days since Doris left. There was no sound behind the room's thin wooden door, only the silence surrounding the tiny house. He let the outside world spin without him, choosing to drown in his own thoughts. Loneliness, guilt, and his dark past continued to haunt every second he spent alone.Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the door. The door to his room was violently kicked in, the thin wood rattling so hard that it almost broke. Marisa appeared, standing in the doorway with quick, determined breaths. The surprise arrival made Morel flinch, his face instantly filled with anger and confusion."What are you doing, Marisa?! Why are you breaking down my bedroom door?" Morel shouted angrily. His gaze sharp, his breathing ragged, it was clear that he was upset at Marisa's impulsive actions.However, Marisa did not back down. She didn't even care about Morel's anger at the moment. Instead, she took out her cell phone and quickly played a video,
Marisa stared at Morel with an emotion she could no longer contain. She had watched him sit and drown for far too long, and his frustration finally overflowed from within him."That's enough! Stop your cowardly behavior!" Marisa exclaimed in a firm voice, almost shaking with emotion. You're the best one to fix all these problems. You can't let what you've done so far go to waste."The words hung in the air momentarily, and Marisa could see something change in Morel's face. For too long, he had harbored disappointment and despair, but Marisa's words stirred something inside him.Marisa remembered how extraordinary Morel was a few months ago before he became fragile. Morel is used to identify leaks and problems within each branch of the business. He was quick to weed out those who were trying to damage the Spencer family from within. Marisa often noticed Morel talking to shareholders and making strategic decisions that appeased them and restored their trust.In a short period, Marisa wi
Morel, Marisa, and Doris sat together in a spacious and quiet room around a wooden table. The light from the large window beside them casts a soft glow that illuminates the room, but the atmosphere remains tense. Doris sat at the end of the table with several bandages wrapped around his head, a sign of the injuries he had sustained during the chaos at the Spencer household. Although his condition had not fully recovered, his gaze remained sharp, filled with unwavering dedication.Morel, already neatly dressed in a black suit that displayed his authority, sat upright in his chair. His cold aura now filled with a distinct calmness, he looked like a leader ready to take back control. Although the emotional upheaval lingered deep down, Morel had already decided it was time to act.Marisa, sitting next to Morel, looked at the two people seriously. She felt this was an essential moment for Morel, and she had to support whatever steps he would take. From the beginning, she had always believe
Morel remained standing on the veranda, the vast landscape spread out before him—the magnificent buildings of the city of Spencer that now felt empty to him. The afternoon breeze blew lightly, sweeping his hair, which fell messily across his forehead. His gaze was still blank, full of doubt as if he was searching for answers on the distant horizon. There was no other sound but the wind and the small steps of Marisa, who had just arrived and stopped beside his.Marisa stood still for a moment, watching Morel from the side. His face was calm, but his eyes conveyed the burden he carried. Marisa knew that Morel was harbouring something that he didn't share with anyone- a heavy sense of responsibility. He had rarely spoken for the past few days, increasingly lost in his thoughts. After a few moments of silence, Marisa felt the need to open up the conversation, unable to let Morel continue to harbour his feelings."You're still thinking things over, aren't you?" Marisa asked softly, her voi
The press conference began in a grand and spacious room with over a hundred gathered reporters. The event was broadcast live on all television stations and social media platforms, attracting the attention of millions across the region. They all knew that Today, Morel Spencer, the mysterious figure who had long been hidden behind the shadows of his family, would finally speak. The atmosphere was tense, and the lights from the cameras flashed, illuminating Morel.With confidence, he stood in front of the podium, gazing at the journalists with a firm look. The noise of clicking cameras gradually subsided as he began to speak. "Thank you to everyone who is here Today. Today, I want to reveal something very important—about who I am, and I am here to declare that I am the leader of the Spencer family."Morel took a deep breath, fully aware of the weight of his words. His declaration would soon make it known to the public that he was now the head of the Spencer family.He concluded his speec
Marisa and Morel were startled as the car suddenly stopped, causing their bodies to nearly collide with the front seats. They exchanged worried glances, especially Marisa. Her face was shocked, her eyebrows raised, and her mouth slightly agape.Her eyes widened as if trying to confirm what she was seeing. She leaned back into her seat, gripping the armrests tightly, her body tense with anxiety.They turned toward Doris, who was still staring straight ahead, her face tight with tension. “Doris, what’s happening?” Morel asked, his voice tinged with concern.Doris exhaled before responding, “Someone is blocking our path, Master.”Marisa and Morel looked ahead. Right in front of their car, another black car was parked horizontally, blocking their way. A man in a black t-shirt and matching sunglasses sat behind the wheel; visible through the dark lenses, his gaze exuded intimidation. Something about his demeanor raised suspicions.Marisa's heart pounded in her chest. She clutched her cloth
The situation around Morel's place was utterly chaotic. The sudden attack from an unknown party had created great chaos. The sounds of explosions and gunfire filled the air, causing panic among the people who were there. Fear-filled faces ran for cover, not knowing what exactly was going on. Some people shouted, "Is this a terrorist attack?" The atmosphere grew tense while others desperately asked, "Why aren't any police here?"Amidst the chaos, a young woman ran around frantically, tears in her eyes, her face pale with fear. "Help, help me! I don't want to die here!" she screamed, her voice drowned out by the growing commotion. She began to get hysterical, not knowing where to go. Suddenly, the sound of a bullet whizzed by her, just inches from her head. The bullet pierced through the air with terrifying speed, making her gasp in shock. In an instant, her body fell to the ground, collapsing instantly from the fear that surpassed her limits. The people who witnessed the incident gre
