"I am not risking my life," Charlie said, his voice firm and resolute. "I am just trying to figure out who's the person talking behind shadows, who's the person that killed my grandpa and thinks they can haunt my family." His eyes blazed with determination, his jaw set in a stubborn line. Leo nodded understandingly, his expression calm and soothing. "I know, Charlie, but we have to calm down, so we wouldn't get trapped," he said, his voice gentle and reasonable. "We can't let our emotions cloud our judgment, or we'll end up walking into a trap." But Charlie's decision was unshakable. "I am trying to avoid them from haunting me," he said, his voice laced with a deep-seated fear. "This isn't the first time, and at the end, things get very toxic." His eyes flashed with a hint of desperation, his voice cracking with emotion. The air was thick with tension, the silence between them heavy with unspoken fears and doubts. Leo's eyes never left Charlie's face, his gaze filled with a deep und

The Unexpected Heir Danger
Leo's eyes narrowed as he focused on the road ahead, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. "Someone is trailing us, I think," he said, his voice low and urgent.Charlie's head whipped around, his eyes scanning the rearview mirror. "Could it be Michael's thugs? Or that strange number guy?" he wondered aloud, his curiosity palpable.Just then, Charlie's phone beeped with an incoming message. He hesitated for a moment before opening the video attachment. His eyes widened in horror as he watched the footage.The video showed a sinister figure, their face obscured by a hoodie, standing in front of a black van. The figure's voice was distorted, but the message was clear: "I'm after your pregnant wife and mother. Don't panic. If you follow the car that's about to take over, I'll let them go. But if you try to be stubborn and won't follow my lead, I'm sorry - they'll die by drowning. It will be called an accident. Think about it - their bodies carried away by water after falling from

Charlie's instincts told him to be cautious, but he pushed on, driven by the need to rescue his family.As they entered the warehouse, they were surrounded by a group of rough-looking men, their faces hardened and their eyes cold. Charlie's heart raced with fear, but he stood tall, trying to appear braver than he felt."Just stand firm, don't be fidgety," Charlie whispered to Leo, trying to reassure him.Leo nodded, his eyes fixed on Charlie's face. "You know I'll always stand with you, no matter what. I've got this too," he said, his tone firm.Charlie turned to face the group of men, his eyes scanning the room for any sign of the person who had summoned him. "I don't want to have anything to do with you all," he said, trying to maintain his steeze. "I'm here to see the person who asked me to com
The Unexpected Heir Family's legacy
Charlie's eyes widened in shock, his face pale with disbelief. "What did you mean, my grandfather caused your mom's death? How was that even possible? My grandpa is a good man, and wouldn't hurt anyone, understand?" he said, his voice laced withconviction.Judas let out a cold, mirthless chuckle, his eyes gleaming with a knowing intensity. "You're so unbelievable, look at you. How naive can you be? Seemed you didn't know who your grandfather's true colors were, did you?" His tone was laced with sarcasm, his words dripping with venom.Charlie's confidence began to falter, his eyes clouding with doubt. "What are you talking about? My grandfather is a respected man in this community, he would never" he trailed off, his voice barely above a whisper.Judas' smile grew wider, his eyes glinting with a sinister light. "Oh, Charlie, you have no idea what your family is capable of. Your grandfather's hands are stained with blood, and your family's legacy is built on lies and deceit." Charlie'
The Unexpected Heir taking blame

"I'm okay," Leo said, his voice steady.Judas let out a mocking scoff. "So much love, boss looking out for his employee in a time like this. Isn't this really interesting?" His tone was laced with sarcasm, his words dripping with venom."What's the point of all this, Judas?" Charlie demanded, his patience wearing thin. "Just get to the point already."Judas' smile grew wider, his eyes glinting with a malevolent glee. "Oh, Charlie. You want the truth? You want to know the secrets that your family has been hiding for so long?" He leaned in, his voice dropping to a whisper. "I'll tell you, but you might not be ready for it."Charlie's frustration boiled over, and he s
The Unexpected Heir Are you my son?
Judas sneered, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I can't believe you're ready to go to jail for your boss, for crimes you never committed. Even following him down here without knowing if it was dangerous shows your loyalty to him is unbelievable. I am impressed." He shook his head, his eyes glinting with a cold, hard light."But unfortunately, you won't be paying for the sins you never committed because I wouldn't want your offspring to come looking for my offspring in revenge," Judas continued, his tone unyielding.Charlie's face contorted in a desperate plea. "Please, Judas, do anything you want to do with me. Leave my family alone. If you want to kill me, you can do that, kill me and pretend to be me. Leo is going to put you through everything, but please don't touch my family." His voice cracked, his eyes brimming with tears, as he begged for mercy.The air was heavy with tension, the silence that followed oppressive, as Judas's gaze remained fixed on Charlie, his eyes unreadable.

Why didn't she tell me she was pregnant?"Judas's tone remained laced with resentment, his words dripping with bitterness. "How was she supposed to tell you when you broke up with her on the same day she wanted to reveal the news?"Mr. Thompson's face contorted in anguish, his eyes welling up with tears. "She told me she wanted to tell me something, but then she said I should talk first...and after I told her we should break up...she said what she wanted to say wasn't important and tore up the check I gave her."The air was heavy with tension, the weight of past mistakes and unresolved emotions palpable. Judas's gaze remained unyielding, his expression a mask of hurt and anger. Mr. Thompson's face, however, was a picture of regret and longing, his eyes pleading for a second chance. The silence that followed was oppressive, a stark reminder of the conseque
