The Heir of the Family 052 - The Angle
Every desire does require sacrifice. It seems to be a standard formula, where one needs to sacrifice happiness to get happiness. Sacrifice money to get money. Or maybe, those who don’t want to take the risk of losing anything, might find the need to sacrifice others’ for their own gains. Squeezing other’s sweat and blood for their own pleasure. Countless people have thrown away most of their lives, only to feel the thrill of victory and the satisfaction of momentary success. It’s almost like the climax in sex. Three minutes, five minutes, or maybe you have to sweat for a matter of hours. But in the end, the pleasure of the climax is only momentary. After that, you will be exhausted, then sleep and find peace. The same anxiety is currently haunting Victor. The fact that he now has already had a lot of money makes him uneasy. It can be said that he had lost his family life and other kinds of effort to get that 2 Million dollars. And that’s what he feels now, that people might do more

The Heir of the Family 054 - Dirty Money

The car moves so slow due to Viona who still hasn’t cleared her mind yet.After all, she doesn’t want her windshield to be broken again by a bird or whatever would come to her car.And then, Viona remembers about Victor's money that has been transferred to her bank account. After all, Victor deliberately left his car at the company, for his worry of not having enough money until the next month.That’s also why Viona was a bit startled before, when she found Victor bought three CCTV cameras. She believes those cameras were not that cheap for someone who had claimed to be broke.“Do you have enough money with you?” asks Viona.“Nope! The bank account I use for daily needs has been empty for some time. Not completely empty yet. But I can’t take money from that account anymore. What I have now is the little dollar in my pocket,” explains Victor.“And you call yourself the President of Counterbrand
The Heir of the Family 055 - The Examination
Viona might have known him for a long time. But there are also times when she is confused with Victor. Sometimes he acts so mature like an adult, while other times he is as naive as a kid, looking so carefree with his problems. The truth is, one of the tasks that Charles William entrusted to her is to keep a close look at Victor’s growth as a business professional. But sometimes, she finds it hard to make her judgement on him. “Oh?! I haven't told you before. But your father tried to call you several times, right after the meeting at the marketing department,” Viona informs. “I turned my phone into a silent mode that time, and forgot to turn it back to normal. I only found the notification later,” replies Victor. “Where were you at that time? Your dad had asked the receptionist to connect the call to your office before trying to contact your phone number. But you weren't there.” “Sleeping in the storeroom,” replies Victor with a childish laugh. And there, Viona’s brows are twitc
The Heir of the Family 056 - Two Ignorants
It’s indeed she hadn’t met Victor for five years until Charles William appointed him as the President of Counterbrand.But five years are long enough to change someone, especially when Victor’s dad deliberately asked him to live a whole different life than what he used to have at home.“It’s been that long, huh?” Viona mumbles in her deep thoughts.“What? Are you missing home now?” asks Victor in a bit of amazement.“Nope! Well, maybe a bit,” Viona replies curtly, trying to ignore him.“Go home then!”“Hey, we are out of human resources at the company now! You are the president at the moment. At least, try to act like one,” Viona refutes in her frustration.“Oh, why don’t you find a good lawyer for me. And let me find the replacements for those executives,” Victor offers lightly.“Thanks but no, thanks. There’s no way I leave this matters to you,” Viona declines with a composed look on her face.“Well, good luck then!”“Good luck to yourself!” Viona fights back, not realizing that the
The Heir of the Family 057 - What Should I Say

She found it difficult to sleep. The natural cycle in her body has changed, with her sleep schedule shifting so far. No matter what time she got to the motel, she would always stay awake until the dawn break. Drinking two cans of beer didn’t help her either. Even worse, she hasn’t slept at all. And here she is in the morning, meeting with the lawyer to discuss her marital settlement issue. “Emma?!” calls Elijah, noticing the oddity in Emma. “Hey!” Lucas shakes her with an awry face.

On the way to take Emma to the Morbid Motel, Lucas keeps trying to persuade Emma to go back to working at the pharmacy store owned by his family. Emma just keeps silent, not showing any interest in his offer. It’s already so clear to her that Lucas has no longer intention to take her as a wife. Or else, he wouldn’t persuade her to work anymore. At least, that’s what Emma expected from a rich man like him. “If you keep working until so late like this, it will be bad for your health. Not mentioning how your drinking habit has become so much worse recently. The pay is not that much either, compared to what you are going to get if you go back to your old job. Why don’t I take you to that pharmacy store now?” Lucas offers and he turns to her. And there Lucas finds Emma has already fallen asleep, leaning her body so low on the car seat. He can only shake his head with a long sigh, realizing he has been talking to himself so far. Not long after he is silent there driving the car without a
