I couldn’t fathom the overwhelming pain and fury that surged through me as Mr. Bennet held me, and my heart shattered like an erupted volcano. My body trembled uncontrollably! “Noo! Ahhhhhhh!...” I roared, like a man possessed, struggling to keep my sanity intact. “They beat her into nothing... Look at her legs… I’m free from prison but she can’t even see me anymore… My grandmother… She’s blind." I muttered broken, as Mr. Bennet broke down beside me as well. “Help her up! Get her to the best hospital!” I ordered. “Wait, grandma, where’s my son?” I asked. “He’s with Madam Marisa, your wife, but I fear for his safety... I tried to get my sister Margaret to take him out because your wife has been involved with Usher and they have been rumors of their affairs since you were locked away." She told me settling into the car seat with her voice filled with worry, causing me to hold the door for her, with my fist trying not to panic. “What kind of friendship, tell me?” I asked. “Maybe you should look at the billboards…” She said pointing out from the car… The fact she knew where the digital boards were over the hospital wall; announcing what seemed to have broken my heart - Beats into shockwaves at the sight. “Is this real… Mr. Bennet?” I asked my housekeeper who keys on his Apple iPad for information on the announcement. “She wasn't very clear about her partnership with the Usher's family, but your wife is getting married to Mr. Gerald Usher.” My grandmother said and my heart bled in return, was she going to marry the same man that put me in prison? Last I left… He was barely her friend, not until I broke his nose and he decided to show me how powerfully rich he could deal with me. “I would find out about this in person, I believe my wife is being brainwashed or forced and I promise you that this is the end of your suffering, I will make all the people involved pay dearly, I promise you.” I said kissing my Granny's forehead before shutting the car door close and left afterwards. My Daughter had died of a seizure in my arms, thinking about it really hurt me but this same accident caused by my wife's carelessness will be the same crime her friend Mr. Gerald Usher would use as a weapon to imprison me. Hence I did have a son left and I needed to see him again, it's time he met his father again. "Mr. Bennet, Lest you forget that I have to remain disguised as a poor man, I need to know my wife for who she is." I said and he smiled. "Yes! I had that prepared for you grand Master, in this box is the most filthy looking Sewage Pipeline designed rag cloth, actually worth $500,000 dollars but yup! It's a worthy trash for you, young Master." Mr. Bennet brilliantly says as he hands me the clothes which I changed into whilst in the car. The convoy Parks far away and I stepped out heading into the average looking mansion, a place I and my wife did groom our kids. "It seems Mr. Gerald Usher is around." Mr. Bennet says through a wireless earpiece he had hidden in my ear, this was for my security. I could feel the danger from the gates. I was a sewage Pipe cleaner before I got imprisoned, this was what I did to take care of my family, but with how my wife kept yelling; I could tell another issue was up at home. Poom! - My Luggages stormed out of the mansion as I entered the compound, a bit tense. She couldn't wait to get rid of my things now that she was getting married again? Plus isn't that illegal seeing that I did not sign a divorce papers? Oh yeah I should be a dead man by now so they weren't expecting me. Pow! - The Sound of my child screaming! "Midsee?" I called as my feet dashed speedily into the house before my eyes met with horror. "Marisa!? What's happening here?" I called on to my wife who looked at me with shock. My grandmother's sister was in tears. Her clothes torn and my son sobbing, I wouldn't lie that I wasn't a bit confused. "Why are you here?" Marisa, my wife asked. "For you and my son!" I replied. "Ridiculous, how are you even alive?" Mr. Gerald Usher uttered in surprise. "You can't kill a Master Mr. Gerald, mark these words, you will suffer for all the lies you spread online, the false charges, the payments to get me tortured in jail and for trying to kill me, I will not only break your nose this time, but your wings, your legs and your eyes, I will paralyse you!" I swore to him in anger. "Oh really, so just because you were somehow pardoned, you still wish for me to grind you some more, did you forget who I am? I am Gerald Usher... I can send you back to jail for another three years and finish you there!" Mr Gerald threatened with his head reddened. "How is he free?" My evil mother-in-law added. "Whatever! You shouldn't have returned, tell this old witch you call your Granny's sister to give me back my son, Or my family will roast her alive!" Marisa blatantly fires at me. "Tell me, Marisa, are you being forced into this marriage? What price did they pay?" I asked, stepping closer to her with my voice heavy with disbelief. "Don’t you dare come near me!" She spat, her eyes blazing with fury. "Look at yourself! You're nothing but a broke, good-for nothing man! Mr. Gerald Usher and I are getting married and it’s not because I was forced, it's because I’m in love with him and he’s a billionaire, unlike you... Have you ever stopped to ask yourself who you really are?" With that... She threw her glass of red wine at me with the liquid staining my clothes as she glared her eyes cutting through me like daggers. "Leave!" "Now!"

The doctor inquired but my trembling lips couldn’t form a response."Take a deep breath okay, I understand your panic but I need to know how he was injured." the doctor insisted as I nodded trying to steady my breath as he gently held my hand."I think he was mistakenly hit with a whip." I said as the doctor looked in my eyes."That isn't a mistake Sir.... He had another cut marks around his body too... Was he beaten? I will have to call the police." The doctor added."Please Doctor...
