A way to survive

Miller stood up, anger flashing in his eyes. "Thank you for trying to help me, but you can’t help. Just stay out of my business until I leave this house."

"Miller, don’t do this. I want to help you, don't shut me out or you will regret it," Mr. Larkin pleaded, his voice filled with concern.

"No, you need to stay out of it. This is my fight. I don't need you to mock me with it," Miller snapped back, his frustration boiling over.

Mr. Larkin took a step closer, his face a mix of worry and confusion. He couldn't understand why Miller would be so arrogant. "You think I’m mocking you? I’m your father, Miller. I’m trying to protect you. Whatever is happening, I need to help you sort it out."

Miller shook his head, his anger not having any chance of fading away. "Protect me? Where were you when my business was falling apart? When everything was going wrong? When I was on the run? In fact, you want to rattle me out. And now, you are here to spill nonsense, acting like you car

He was so anxious to pick, hoping he’d get good news from her. He actually thought Kim was still such a gullible person who could be easily swayed by lies and promises. "Hey, sorry for the delay. I’ve spoken with Kim and he suggested that he would like to see you first. He wants you to meet with him and talk to him directly."Miller quickly typed back, his fingers flying over the screen with anxiousness."I'm not sure. But I’ll think about it and get back to you.

    Bunch of betrayals Mr. Larkin couldn't bear the headache Miller was causing him. He sat at the kitchen table, his head in his hands, feeling the weight of the constant stress. His wife, Mrs. Larkin, approached him, sensing his turmoil. "What’s wrong, dear?" she asked gently, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. He looked up at her, his eyes tired and filled with frustration. "I can't put up with Miller anymore. He's become too much for me to handle. I’ve tried, we’ve tried, but nothing seems to get through to him." Mrs. Larkin sighed, knowing this conversation was coming. "I know he's been difficult, but he's our son. We can't just give up on him." Mr. Larkin shook his head, standing up from the table. "It's not about giving up. I’m afraid that with the way he's going, he might cause us a serious problem or worse. He might be the death of us." Mrs. Larkin’s eyes widened in shock. "You don’t mean that. He will change." "I do," he replied firmly. "I've been thinking about i

    Father and son The next day, Mr. Larkin was determined to uncover the truth about Miller’s origins. It was already difficult, but he had to try. His first stop was the hospital where he and his wife had adopted Miller many years ago. Walking into the hospital brought back a flood of memories. He remembered the joy of bringing Miller home, the hope they had for their family. Now, that hope felt shattered. He approached the reception desk, his heart pounding. “Excuse me,” he said to the nurse behind the desk. “I need to speak with someone about an adoption that took place here years ago.” The nurse looked at him curiously. “Do you have an appointment?” “No, I don’t,” Mr. Larkin admitted. “But it’s urgent. I need to find information about my son’s biological parents.” The nurse hesitated. “I’ll see if someone is available to help you. Please have a seat.” Mr. Larkin sat down, his mind racing. He knew this was a long shot, but he had to try. After a few minutes, a doctor approached

    The Larkin’s regret Miller clenched his fists, glaring at his parents before storming off to his room. The anger and frustration boiled within him, making it hard to think clearly. Once inside his room, he slammed the door shut and leaned against it, breathing heavily. He couldn’t believe his own parents were turning against him. To him, they were just fake people pretending to care. He pulled out his phone and began scrolling through his contacts. He needed a place to hide, somewhere safe where his parents wouldn’t find him. He started making calls, one after another. “Hey, it’s Miller. I need a place to crash for a while. Can you help me out?” he asked his friend Mike. “Sorry, man. I can’t get involved in whatever trouble you’re in,” Mike replied before hanging up. Miller cursed under his breath and called another friend. “Jake, I’m in a bind. Can I stay with you for a bit?” Jake hesitated. “I don’t know, Miller. Things are tight around here. I can’t risk it.” After a few mo

    The Truth Kim’s visit fueled Mr. Larkin's determination to find Miller’s real parents. His house was no longer a safe haven. If he couldn't report Miller, he had to make sure he left. His political career was on shaky ground, and his name was being dragged through the mud, all because of Miller. Desperation gnawed at him as he continued his search, feeling more and more hopeless with each passing day. Just as he was about to give up, after a long stressful search, his phone rang. The caller ID showed an unknown number. He hesitated, then answered. "Hello, is this Mr. Larkin?" a woman's voice asked, skipping any formalities. "Yes, it is," he replied, a flicker of hope igniting in his chest and at the same time, curious. "I'm calling from the hospital. You were asking about information concerning Miller’s biological parents, right?" "Yes, yes, I am!" Mr. Larkin said eagerly. "It’s going to cost you. Five thousand dollars," she stated flatly. The amount was ridiculous, fo

He walked into the hospital, his mind was focused on finding any information about Miller’s biological parents. The hallways were bustling with activity, doctors and nurses moving quickly from one patient to another. He approached the reception desk, trying to look as composed as possible. “Excuse me,” Mr. Larkin began, “please do you have a record of all the adoption that happened here twenty-five years ago? Is there someone I can speak to?” He was sure that it was this hospital. The receptionist glanced up, giving him a polite but guarded smile. “I'm not sure, sir. Moreover, we don't usually don’t disclose such information. You would need to speak with our records department, but they’re not available at the moment.” Mr. Larkin sighed, frustration bubbling up inside him. “Is there anyone else I can talk to? It’s quite urgent.” Just

His ego was bruised.His roars echoed through the empty chamber, filled with rage and frustration. He knew Kim was training and preparing, but he never thought Kim would actually defeat him. With the amount of power he has? “How did this happen?” Miller shouted into the void. “The ancestor told me Kim wouldn't be any match for my powers, yet he beat me without even getting started. How can that be? Did he deceive me to set me up?”He paced back and forth, his mind a whirlwind of confusion and anger. “What kind of power does Kim possess?
