2024-10-29 19:42:56The entire Tyris family gaped in extreme shock!
Everyone stared at the young boy now identified as Nicolas in shock, bewilderment, and surprise!Nicolas did not bring any gifts for the Patriarch of the Tyris family, not even the least one, and yet he had the audacity to ask him for five thousand dollars!Eighteen years ago, Min Tyris, the most brilliant daughter of the Tyris family ran away from her duties as a member of the Tyris family and eloped with a no name man who she fell in love with.This case caused a lot of resentment for the members of the Tyris family, as it was a slap in their face.Min Tyris was such a beautiful lady in her early years, so weeks after scoring the lucrative deal with the big family that put the Tyris family back on track, a number of powerful men sought her hand in marriage.There was no shortage of powerful characters such as the heirs of prominent families, the heads of several business groups and even the head of the second richest family in the city, the Giro family was interested in her.Grey Tyris saw this as a way for his family to solidify their foundations and hasten their rise through the ranks, therefore he approved for Min to marry the head of the Giro family, not caring that he was old enough to be her father. However, his plans didn’t go the way he wanted.Min Tyris, at the moment was already in love with somebody else. He was handsome, charming, kind, and caring.Throwing all caution to the wind, she fled from her family and eloped with the young man.Of course, when the Patriarch heard this, he was very furious. He ordered for Min to be found and brought back to him, but after two years of constant searching without any positive results, he gave up.By that time, the damage to the Tyris family reputation was already done, and there was nothing that could be done.One year after her elopement with the young man, Min Tyris came back to the Tyris family. However, she didn’t come back alone, but with a baby of one year of age.The baby was of course Nicolas.The sequence of results was easily expected. After returning to the Tyris family, she was treated with scorn and disgust.Not only did she bring shame to the family by leaving with an unknown man, she even had the audacity the come back with a bastard son!It was absolutely preposterous!As a result of this, Nicolas didn’t have it easy when growing up, as he was treated with even more scorn and disgust than his mother.It was safe to say that he was no different than a dog in the Tyris family.No, he was even worse than a dog in the family.Just like that, sixteen years passed.The whole sixteen years was hell for Min, and it was more hellish for Nicolas.He was barely fed and was worked to the bone constantly. The little meals he was fed he refused to eat. Instead, he gave them to his mother. This was why he was more malnourished than his mother.These kinds of treatment made Nicolas greatly resent the Tyris family, but he bore with it because of his mother.Along the line, he discovered that his mother was incredibly weak after his birth, as she didn’t receive proper treatment from the hospital before returning to the Tyris family. Coupled with the poor nutrition his mother received, it was no wonder her health deteriorated.To be honest, Nicolas would not have come to this birthday celebration if he had the choice, but last week his mother’s health became incredibly bad. After using the savings he had saved up for a long time to ask for a check-up from the hospital, he was informed by the doctor that all his mother needed were some supplements which strengthened her immune system.The total cost for the supplements was five thousand dollars. In reality, it was not too much, but because of how Nicolas had been living, it was very expensive to him.“Are you being serious right now?” an old lady suddenly asked with ridicule in her voice.The old lady was the Patriarch’s wife and she hated Min and Nicolas to the core.“How dare you show yourself to the Patriarch on such an occasion?” The patriarch’s wife questioned angrily.“Do you not know how much shame you have brought to the Tyris family?”“You are nothing but the bastard son of a rejected whore!”“Do you have no shame?!”With each question the Patriarch’s wife asked, she walked closer to where Nicolas stood. When she was close enough to tower over him, she raised her hand and gave Nicolas a very heavy slap.“You bastard son!”Slap!“You’re a disgrace to the Tyris family!”Slap!“You disgusting dog!”With each insult each she dished out, a heavy slap followed suit.Nicolas had never been more humiliated in his life, and wanted to lash out back at the woman, but he did not. Instead, he gritted his teeth, kept quiet and let it happen.With each slap he received, his scrawny body trembled, but he forced himself to remained still.He had to bear this, for his mother’s health.His mother however, had other thoughts. How could she stand behind her son when he was being humiliated like this for her sake?Just as the Patriarch’s wife was about to hit Nicolas again, his mother pushed him from behind, and stood in his place.She was going to receive the slap meant for Nicolas.Nicolas didn’t expect such a thing from his mother, so he was frozen in shock.Just as the Patriarch’s hand was about to hit his mother on the face, a domineering voice rang out in the great hall.“That’s enough, Margret Tyris.”“But-” Margret started to say but was cut off at once.“I said that’s enough.” The voice said with a tone of finality.The Patriarch’s wife, Margret Tyris, instantly obeyed and withdrew her hand before moving to her original position, albeit grudgingly.She had no other choice but to obey, after all the one who gave the order was none other than the Tyris family’s Patriarch, Grey Tyris.

Nicolas rushed to hold his mother the moment he heard the Patriarch’s voice. Only when she was standing close to him did he turn his attention to the Patriarch. “Five thousand dollars?” The Patriarch, Grey Tyris asked in an even tone. “Yes Grandfather!” Nicolas answered enthusiastically. Grey Tyris didn’t say a word after Nicolas’ response; instead, he stretched his hands. Not a second later, a brown envelope was placed in his hands. The Patriarch opened the envelope and then counted five one thousand dollar notes, then brought it out. A happy expression appeared on Nicolas’ bruised face at the sight of the smooth five thousand dollar notes. With such an amount of money, he would be able to buy the supplements he needed for his mother, and as such her health would definitely improve! The Patriarch looked at Nicolas coldly for a few seconds, before throwing the five thousand dollar notes to the ground. “If you want the money so damn much, then crawl to get it!” The Patriarch sudd

No; he refused to believe it.The terrible feeling that had been gnawing at his heart was not a hoax after all.It was real.“Mother…” Nicolas murmured disbelievingly.

Nicolas remained standing in front of the burnt room, which was now damp from the efforts of the fire fighters. As if to add salt to his fresh wounds, the sky rumbled, and droplets of rain started dropping from the sky. The droplets from the rain fell on Nicolas’ bruised skin, and what started as a drizzle soon turned into a heavy downpour. It was as if the sky was mourning the death of Min Tyris. Nicolas continued standing under the pelting raindrops, mourning the death of his mother. Nothing else mattered at this point. It rained as if it were the last chance for it to rain, and the intensity of the rain didn't decrease; rather, it intensified. Just like that, three hours passed in silence. By now, the whole manor was silent. It was way past bedtime after all, and unless one had something to do awake, or they were the security guards on duty, everyone should be sleeping peacefully. Nicolas, drenched by the heavy rain, turned around and started walking towards the part of the

Charlotte looked at the extremely handsome stranger who introduced himself as Nicolas sceptically. “What do you mean by that, Mr. Nicolas?” Charlotte asked in a sceptical tone. Nicolas remained seated on the very relaxing sofa and smiled once again before answering. “Exactly what I mean, Miss. Charlotte Clinton.” Nicolas replied leisurely. “I have an extremely brilliant deal for you, and it is not just brilliant for you, but for your Clinton Group as a whole.” Nicolas said authoritatively, his whole demeanour oozing dominance and imperiousness. “May I know what this deal is?” Charlotte asked in an even tone, however the curiosity in her tone couldn’t be hidden.

Vine Lane, Stormwind City.Vine Lane was one of the numerous middle class areas in Stormwind City, with well-built houses and apartment which were also pleasantly looking occupying the neat streets of the neighborhood.There were of course several middle end cars plying the traffic regulated highway, with the residents heading to their various destinations.The walkway reserved for the pedestrians were as empty as it could be, with only a very few passerby walking occasionally across the well paved ground.The weather was a little bit sunny, but considering the fact that it was 10:21 a.m., it was nothing too serious. Moreover, from the relaxed expression on the faces of the few pedestrians, as well as the residents in the various relaxing buildings like cafés and several restaurants, this wasn’t a one-time occurrence for them, so they were pretty much used to it.The fact that it was a Saturday, which was a weekend also contributed to the calm, serene and scanty environment.Tyrese Mi
