"Stop this, Kingsley," his mother tried to intervene, her voice laced with concern. She stepped forward, trying to hold back her son.But Grandpa Tristan, a stern expression etched on his weathered face, remained defiant. "You don't have to do that, Hannah," he said firmly, his voice tinged with a sharp anger. He squared his shoulders, asserting his authority. "Let him speak his mind. That's how he now addresses his grandfather."The tension in the room grew evident as Kingsley looked back and forth between his mother and his grandfather, uncertainty etched in his young features. The weight of the situation seemed to press down on his shoulders, his emotions caught in the crossfire of a family dispute.In that fleeting moment, the air crackled with unresolved issues and unspoken words. Kingsley's confusion was mirrored in the silence that descended upon them, as three generations stood on the precipice of a profound divide.Kingsley turned to his mother, brimming with frustration. "Mu
Chapter 101"What's going on here?" Grandpa Richard demanded, rising on his feet, his brow furrowing with concern. Grandpa Tristan also stood up, his face mirroring the same worry."Grandpa, I am leaving your house for good if you can't let me make my own decisions. I am not a kid anymore," Ethan said, his tone filled with anger as he stood his ground."Ethan is not up to that. This is your home" grandpa Richard replied, his face reflecting genuine concern for his grandson's well-being."This isn't my home," Ethan declared, his voice filled with a mixture of frustration and sadness. "I don't have peace of mind, and that's all I need in a home. My mum and my wife can stay here if they wish, but I am out of here." As he spoke, the weight of his burdens seemed to visibly settle upon his broad shoulders.His gaze hardened, his eyes reflecting a determination born out of a deep-rooted need for justice. "And no one should try convincing me to release those people. I am actively trying to pr
Chapter 102Ethan sat alone at the bar, nursing a cold beer, frustration etched across his face. The whole scene at his grandpa's house had left him feeling fed up and irritable. It seemed like staying there alone would be a much better option for his peace of mind.As Ethan contemplated his next move, the sound of the doorbell chimed through the air, slicing through the silence of the empty house. He furrowed his brow in confusion, wondering who could possibly be at his door. He hadn't invited anyone over; in fact, he had only just moved back into his old house. The unexpected visitor piqued his interest, and he couldn't help but feel a jolt of curiosity intertwine with his annoyance.With a sigh, Ethan rose from his seat, determined to investigate the mysterious interruption. He made his way towards the door, footsteps echoing in the otherwise stillness of the house. Pushing the door open, his eyes widened in astonishment as he beheld Claire standing there, her bags beside her and a
"I miss us, that feeling," she said wistfully, her voice carrying a hint of longing as she slowly made her way toward him. Each step was deliberate, her hips swaying in a seductive rhythm that captivated his attention."You missed me," he responded, his voice tinged with regret and an apology lacing his words. A slight frown formed on his lips, a combination of remorse and the weight of his current burdens evident in his expression. "I am sorry I have been too occupied. There are so many things I have to deal with right now, which is why I haven't been able to give you the attention you deserve. But please believe me, everything will come to an end soon. Just be patient with me," he pleaded, desperation flickering in his eyes."Don't say that," she responded, her voice filled with a mix of yearning and frustration. Her eyes met his, revealing the depth of her desire. "Do you realize how much I have missed you? It feels like an eternity since we last shared that intimate connection we
Grandpa Tristan, strode confidently into the bustling police station. Every step he took exuded a sense of ageless wisdom and authority. With a head held high and his silver hair neatly combed back, he commanded the attention of everyone around him. The soft creak of the wooden floor beneath his polished shoes seemed to echo with the weight of his presence.As he approached the front desk, the officers couldn't help but be captivated by Grandpa Tristan's aura. His piercing gaze bore into their souls, demanding their full attention. Even in his advanced years, his eyes sparkled with a vibrant intensity and unwavering determination.Without skipping a beat, Grandpa Tristan requested to see Raymond, his grandson, who had found himself on the wrong side of the law. The officers, unable to resist his magnetic charm and commanding presence, swiftly escorted him towards the dimly lit hallway where Raymond's cell awaited.Upon entering the cold, sterile room, Grandpa Tristan's eyes fell upon
"I don't think he's in his right state of mind," he said quietly, concern evident in his voice. He paused, carefully considering his words. "I think he needs some time to gather his thoughts and make rational decisions. So, I will come back when he's in a better place mentally."But she scoffed dismissively, her tone incredulous. "I am sorry sir," she retorted, her voice tinged with frustration. "He had better be in his right state of mind and speak up. Mr. Ethan has already ordered us to forward the case to court. We are going to do it in just two days, and a whole day has already passed." She glanced at him, seeking his agreement, and he nodded in acknowledgement, understanding the urgency of the situation."Thanks for the pieces of information," he expressed gratefully, his voice filled with a sense of urgency. "I will speak to you later." He turned and made his way out of the police station, his mind racing with thoughts and plans.As he walked through the dimly lit hallway, he su
In a well-lit hall filled with the company's shareholders, Ethan confidently presented his designs. Engaging in a conversation with one of the shareholders, he smiled warmly as they questioned him. "What gives you inspiration for this, and how do you come up with your color combinations?" they inquired. Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Ethan replied, "It's quite simple. I draw my inspiration based on the type of designs I want to create, considering how I envision the final structure to look like."As a real estate agent, you need to have the Insterest of clients in heart. When making your plans and survey you have to know you must do something that's unique, and keeping up with the lastest designs. And colour is the most important thing when it's comes to this. You can make a good design but still colour could be the problem. That's why as a real estate agent you need to know how to blend your colour. Let the engineering or surveyor knows what you want, because having a beaut
"Talk about what I already told you," he stated firmly, his voice laced with determination, "get your lawyer ready.""And did I not make it clear that I am not going to get any," he said, his tone harsh, frustration seeping through his words, "can you please put aside your pride and just meet me?""Where are you?" he demanded, his voice filled with urgency."I'm right in front of the police station," he replied, the words hanging heavily in the air, followed by a long, tense silence."I will join you there briefly," he concluded the call, his voice carrying a hint of determination. Tucking the phone into his back pocket, he made his way to his car, his footsteps echoing in the empty street. As he settled into the driver's seat, his mind wandered back to Adrianna. The thought of having to work with that company gnawed at him, as he couldn't shake the feeling of being a loser for needing Adrianna to plead on his behalf to secure the contract. Moreover, his close relationship with his la
