"You piece of shit! Get out of this house!""Dogs like you deserve to live in the street until the ends of your life," "Mark my words, you are nothing without this family's name. You are nothing but a curse!"…Evan stood on the sidewalk with a lighter in hand in front of the hotel. His clothes were wet by the drizzle that fell from the dark sky. His deep blue eyes stared at the empty streets as he took out another cigarette and lit it with the lighter."It has been long but yet I haven't gotten over those words she said," He muttered as he stood there memorizing the hurtful words his mother-in-law had said to him, the day she sent him out of the house. He took a deep drag of the cigarette letting the smoke escape his lips in a long, and slow exhale. Three years ago, he was brought to San Francisco without much information about the city and as such he had a flash marriage with his wife, Christel.It was supposed to be one filled with love and happiness since her grandfather approv
"What did you just say?" Her harsh voice echoed in the hall as she glared at Evan. Christel stared at her mum with a look of discomfort on her face."Mum, you shouldn't be doing this here, please." She said through gritted teeth and her mum turned towards her with a murderous gaze."Do not speak," She clenched her teeth tightly then closed her eyes and exhaled lightly."As I was saying… You must leave this place. You do not belong here and you shall never be among the noble class. Who knows if the reason you are here is because some old man decided to hire you as his errand boy," She smirked then walked towards Evan with disgust in her eyes."I've given you enough time to sign those divorce papers and if you don't sign them." She threatened then backed away, "Who knows if the street can still be your home," "Mum!" Christel frowned then flashed an apologetic look at her husband. Her mother had crossed the line and she couldn't stand it anymore but even If she wanted her husband to be
A quiet mansion stood under the dark clouds as the trees around the mansion swayed by the wind, but unlike how quiet it looked on the surface it couldn't be said for the inside."Damn it! Had he not shown his disgraceful self in that hall? I am sure the mayor would have introduced me to the CEO of Vertice Capital," Mrs. Bertha snapped angrily as she kept pacing around the room.Christel stared at her mum with an embarrassed look on her face but she didn't say a word."So are you trying to say that Evan was the reason why you got kicked out of the banquet?" Nathan asked, he was Christel's eldest cousin. The other family members gathered in the room all frowned on hearing this and they stared at Mrs Bertha demanding an explanation."I didn't know it would lead to that. I thought the mayor would side with me and send the lowlife out of the place. I didn't know it would be the opposite," She coldly replied then stopped pacing around and faced the people in the room."What do you plan to
"Since my daughter already agreed to go out with you. I think everything's settled then," Mrs. Bertha chuckled lightly and sent a spiteful glare at Evan.Evan stared at Christel with an unreasonable expression on his face then he faced Mrs. Bertha. "I received your call. Did something happen?" He asked calmly.Harry's eyes widened in shock at Evan's temperament. He thought Even would blow up and fall on his knees begging for Christel's attention.Christel on the other hand was a little disappointed. 'I thought he would stop me. Had he held my hands and told me to stop, I'll do so, but why? Has he moved on after the incident?' She thought with a saddened expression on her face."Oh, that reminds me. Something urgent came up and we need you to do some little family favor for us," Mrs. Bertha smiled slightly then turned and headed towards the room.Evan frowned on seeing this but he still followed closely behind her."I'll walk Harry out mum," Christel announced then left with Harry.E
In the outskirts of Santo City. A black BMW drove slowly inside the compound of a grandiloquent building that had seven stars proudly imprinted at the top of the building.Harry, Jane, Christel, and Mrs. Bertha stepped out of the car and stared at the building before them.“So this is the infamous seven-star hotel. I never thought I'd get to visit this place one day, not to talk about having lunch here,” Jane laughed out loud then stared at her elder sister, Christel.“Let's go, there's still more to show you,” Harry urged then led the way for them. He had promised to take Christel out for lunch and seeing this Jane decided to follow suit.Just as they got inside the elevator and were about to close it a familiar figure appeared before them.‘'What is he doing here?’ Harry's pupils shrank slightly as the familiar figure walked inside the elevator with a calm look on his face.'What is this ungrateful man doing here? Is he by chance stalking my daughter? That's so disgusting of him,’’
“What are you waiting for, punk?” Harry yelled angrily and faced Justin to try and ask him to call the security when he froze on the spot as he noticed how breet red his uncle's face was.“What's going on, uncle? Are you feeling sick? Do you have a fever?” He muttered as he tried to check up on him but Justin lost it and sent a slap at him.“You are the one that is sick! Get out of here before I send you to jail, you moron!” He cursed angrily then quickly turned towards Evan shaking profusely.“What? Uncle what are you doing?” Harry frowned. He ignored the stinging pain on his left cheek as he was confused with what his uncle was doing.He was about to say something when he suddenly noticed something admiss. He frowned and turned towards the other families only to see how red their faces were…. They were furious!“You little punk! Did you lose home training in your previous life?” The mayor boomed.“Get this brat out of here before I lost it,” He added. He was already sweating profuse
Time flew by in a flash and soon it was morning. Evan jogged his way to the park by the river to calm himself.He looked around and noticed how desolated it was.“This place had been abandoned for as long as I can remember,” he muttered as he took a seat beside the river. He crossed his legs and sat there with his eyes closed, listening to the calm of the river and the whispers of the wind.What he was about to do was cultivating. He started this when he was six years old and always does it every morning and along with his great talent his cultivation speed differs from that of his peers.‘Shut all senses and listen to the energy from the heavens and earth,’’ He thought, then took a deep breath and released it and soon it felt like a soft glow surrounded him.The trees stopped swaying and the river turned extremely still and quiet. It suddenly felt as though he was isolated from the world and was in his own small world created for him.He took in deep breaths then sent out his senses
“Hun?” Vera gasped then hurriedly went back to pack her loots.“I thought you weren't coming over to pick me up, so why are you here?” She pouted as she held a golden necklace and raised it in the air to have a clear view of it.“This is real gold,” She then smirked at the naked man in the hall. “Thank you for this. You are so generous,”The man lowered his head in shame as he didn't have the courage to look at her. He brought this upon himself and now he must endure the shame.Evan stared at the man for a while then faced Vera. “I thought you promised that you wouldn't make any problem?” “Ah… No,” Vera gasped then ran towards him. She clasped her hands tightly together then pouted.“He challenged me for a bet and I won. Had it been that I lost, I would have been the one who will stay here half naked,” She poured cutely and her cat-like eyes turned teary.“What a fake,” Claus scoffed.He knew better than anyone that such cheap baby tricks don't work on Evan, unless he wants to preten
