Black Envelop "Son, guess what? The government finally said yes to our big construction contract! Can you believe it? They've turned us down so many times before, but today, we got the good news," Kim's father said with a big smile.Kim couldn't believe his ears. "Wow!" he exclaimed, "That's amazing news!"He felt a bubble of happiness knowing that the slate family is receiving good fortunes.Kim's mother joined in, facing her husband. "Oh my darling, we’ve suffered a lot for this contract. In fact, we lost hope, this is wonderful! I can't believe it's finally happening!" she exclaimed, as her eyes sparkled with joy.This is one of the biggest contracts in the country. People have fought to get this, but the government has refused to award it to anyone. Kim's father beamed with pride, his chest swelling with happiness. "This is definitely a miracle, my dear. Just when we thought it was over. My son, did you see this? Your family is almost at the to
The Invitation Letter"WTF! What is that?" Kim asked, looking surprised as he pointed to the envelope in Zero's hand.Zero didn't reply immediately. Instead, he stared at the envelope and muttered, "The ten families."Curious, Kim stepped closer to Zero and gently turned him around. "Zero, what did you say? Who are the ten families?" he asked, his voice tinged with confusion.Zero hesitated for a moment before responding, "It's just a letter of Visitation."Kim furrowed his brow, trying to make sense of Zero's cryptic answer. "Visitation? What do you mean?" he asked, still puzzled.Zero sighed, reluctant to delve into further explanation. He knew that when he started explaining, it might definitely lead to more questions that he was avoiding. "It's an invitation from a group of influential families in the city. They want to meet with the slate family," he explained vaguely.Kim's curiosity piqued even more. "Why do they want to meet with us?" he inquired
The Preparation Kim glanced at Zero questionably, but Zero just shrugged his shoulders in response. Kim was scared, he didn't know what to expect. Eventually, he followed his father inside the house.Once they were all seated, Kim sat opposite his father, waiting anxiously for him to speak. But before Mr. Jones could say anything, Kim's siblings entered the room, greeting each other and their father warmly."Hey, Dad! Hey, Kim!" Amara exclaimed, giving them both a big hug.Drake grinned and nodded at his father. "Good day, Dad. How are you doing? Kim," he said cheerfully.Casey waved at them with a smile. "Hi, Dad. Hi, Kim," she greeted.Jim clapped his father on the back. "Good afternoon, Dad. Good afternoon, Kim," he said with a grin.Alvin gave them a thumbs-up. "Afternoon, Dad. Afternoon, Kim," he greeted, his voice enthusiastic.Kristen gave her father and Kim a quick hug. "Hey, guys! Afternoon," she said with a smile.Paige flashed them a brigh
The Mysterious Energy"Zero, what's happening?" Kim asked, panic creeping into his voice as he listened to Zero's distress."I... I don't know, Kim. The systems... they're malfunctioning," Zero's voice crackled in Kim's mind, each word a struggle.Kim's heart dashed with fear as he realized the gravity of losing him. Zero, his loyal companion and friend, was in trouble, and there was nothing he could do to help."Zero, please hang in there. We'll figure this out together," Kim said, his voice trembling with worry.But before he could say anything else, Zero's voice faded away, leaving Kim feeling helpless and alone. With a heavy heart, he sank onto the nearest chair, as he thought of what could be happening to Zero and how he could cope without him.*********************************With a heavy heart, Kim managed to get up from the chair and headed outside, hoping to see Zero there. Heartbreakingly, he called out to Zero, "Zero!" Kim called out, his voice
The Unexpected Guest.Unexpectedly, Kim passed out.THE NEXT MORNING……….Kim woke up on the cold tiles with a slight memory of what happened to him last night. His headaches and his body hurts. “Ouch!” he exclaims as he gets up. Kim managed to freshen up. He went downstairs just to learn from his dad that their guests were gone. He took a loud sigh. He didn't want to see anyone, he was not just in the right mood. Something was happening to him, Kim was feeling a bad energy following him but he couldn't place it.“Where's Zero?” he inquired, looking sad. His father. Gave Kim a gentle Pat on his shoulder. “I don't know when Zero will be coming, but I’ll, we are your family, and we’ll be there for you. As your siblings will be going back to their individual homes, you can always visit any of them if you desire.” Mr. Jones said as he led Kim to the dining table where others were seated waiting for him.*****************************Kim greeted each and
The Unwanted GuestAs Kim drove towards the mansion, he found two older people blocking the entrance. Getting angry, without seeing their faces clearly, he shouted at them to move out of the way, he was in a bad mood and didn't have time for quarrels or arguments."Who are you people? What are you doing in the Slate family's place? Did you miss your way? Please move out of my way," Kim yelled, his tone firm and harsh.When they didn't budge, Kim stepped out of his car and was surprised to see that they were his former parents. They had found him with the slate family.“What’s…..” His words caught short of his words, he tried to hide his surprise and nervousness. The elderly couple looked at Kim with pleading eyes, their faces showing both remorse and desperation.Trying to hide his emotions, Kim forced himself and asked, "Who are you? And why are you here at the Slate family's mansion? Did you miss your way?"His former parents exchanged glances and spoke
College His room was turned upside down. It was a total mess. “What the heck happened here?” he shouted. He peeled again but there was no sign of anything. “What is going on here? Mom! Dad!” Kim called out to his parents he couldn't take it anymore.Seven minutes later…..Mr Jones and Shantel were walking towards Henry’s room door questionably, they were surprised to hear Kim screaming their names by the time of the night.“Henry, are you alright? What's…..” Mr Jones opened his mouth as he saw how Henry’s room was. Ancient writings on the wall. Mrs. Shantel walked skeptically across the room, observing the destruction and the writings on the wall. She didn't know what to make out of it. No maids would dare do this. She thought but just to clarify her doubts she called all the housekeepers. Seeing their faces alone would tell that they knew nothing. “Did any of you do this? Or perhaps see anyone come in to do this?” Mr Shantel asked, sounding
Shadows in the dark“Look who's here, the last son of the slate family,” hahaha!! Miller mocked."Hey, Kim, did Daddy buy you that fancy car too?" Miller sneered, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Must be nice being the golden boy of the Slate family, huh? Bet you've never had to work a day in your life!"Kim gritted his teeth, trying to block out Miller's hurtful words as he searched for an empty seat. But Miller wasn't finished."Come on, Kim, where's your entourage of servants to carry your books for you?" Miller continued, his laughter ringing out mockingly. "Or are they too busy polishing your trophies and wiping your tears?"But Kim didn't pay him any attention. He just ignored him and continued with what he was doing. Miller being a proud person felt insulted, he pushed Kim who also ignored him this time, he got really mad and tried to physically abuse him.Out of nowhere, someone held his hands. Both Kim and Miller were surprised. He couldn't imagin
