RytirAbout Charles' past, I planned to write a flashback story. But the story itself is worth a book of novel. I even tried to make it short, but still it reached 3 chapters of flashback. It was too long. So I canceled it, and then make it brief here. But I plan to publish these flashback stories later after the end of this novel. I'll put them as bonus chapters at the end. For now, I'll focus to keep the story runs forward as good as possible.

The Heir of the Family 322 - Please, Stay With Me!
Viona can’t put up a word to explain it without making Charles know about everything. But then, she realizes that there’s no reason for her to hide it anymore. “Because I was the one who gave the Ricin to Catarina. I’m sorry, Charles! We did have the intention to kill you. I thought you were the one who killed my mom. We even thought about killing Victor.” “What? Why would you put the blame on Victor too? He has nothing to do with this.” “I know! But Catarina wasn’t satisfied simply by killing you. She thought that the only thing to punish you is to kill the one you love,” she explains. Charles’ lips are shaking. He willingly accepts the consequence for the hatred that he has planted in Catarina’s heart. But he never expected that her hatred would be this big and serious. Viona starts calling the maid, asking them to tell the driver to prepare a car for Charles. It’s still better to take Charles by using an ambulance. But she still thinks about that alternative in case that ambula
The Heir of the Family 323 - Eusebio
A few moments later, two cops arrive. They intend to take Viona for further investigation, but Viona just clears everything simply by showing them Charles’s video.She never knew that she would be the one who needs it the most. But still, she is now in a dilemma whether to tell them the real story.“A suicide?” mumbles one of the cops. He then raises one of his eyebrows toward Viona, as if he is still in doubt. “Why would he choose Ricin for a suicide? I assume that you are well aware about the characteristics of this poison. You should know how weird it is when someone deliberately chooses Ricin instead of other kind of poison.”“Why don’t you just ask the man himself later. I just happened to find him recording that video. That’s when I knew he was trying to commit suicide. More than suicide, he was trying to punish himself for something,” explains Viona.“A punishment, huh?” responds that cop with a few nods, seeming to find it a bit more reasonable for Charles to pick Ricin.Viona

Now, after treating him for three days, he is already able to leave Victor alone in that cabin when he has to go hunting.At least, there’s Husky watching over Victor while he is not around. When he comes back by bringing three forest rabbits, he finds Victor looking at a photograph on a wooden cabinet.

The Heir of the Family 327 - He Is My Husband
Victor may look so much different now. His beard is so messy. The same with his hair, which is messy and also longer than before, with his head covered by a beanie hat.He still likes to wear that simple white shirt which is visible under his shady and old winter coat. Despite his look, Emma is still able to recognize him.But Victor isn’t responding to her, only holding his head with some painful expression written in his face.“Victor?” he mumbles, as he begins to feel something strange.“You are Victor, right? Of course, you are,” replies Emma with some silly smile and a bit of awkward face. “There’s no way I would mistake you for someone else. What are you doing here in Canada? What’s with this outfit? Don’t tell me you abandon your job and become homeless now.”But Victor is still trying his best to hold the pain in his head. He wants that aspirin so bad.

What’s wrong?”“Ah? It’s, nothing!” replies Emma with an uncomfortable face.Olivia mistakes that Emma may feel uncomfortable for the fact she has married without telling her. And so, she just starts explaining to Emma that she is not angry at all.“You left home, and told us that you won’t come back. It’s reasonable if you marry someone without telling us. The fact you are here with us is
The Heir of the Family 329 - The Deep Roots
Schneider's neck is bulged, and his face is red with rage. He really can’t stand to see someone who he considers so low under him is now acting so high with his words. But he isn’t able to pay back Frank’s arrogant words, because Chief Hopkins immediately tells him to leave. “Like he said, this is his case. You should have told him first before doing anything regarding this issue. Now would you let me have a moment to speak with Officer Frank?” “Sir!” replies Schneider short with a little nod before taking his leave. Soon after that, Chief Hopkins asks Frank Morris to close the door before he asks him about the development of his investigation. “It seems like you don’t have enough interest in this man named Victor. I mean, I know this poster is a bit too much. But come on! It’s not like we should always follow the rule to solve a case.” “Pardon me, sir!” replies Frank with so much formality before expressing his view. “I do have some interest in him. Not just about this case. I h
