Curtis arrived at the motel that Agatha had indicated to him over the phone. Even he was astonished. He couldn't believe that someone like Agatha had been living in such a deplorable place, but there was no time to lose. He had to get there immediately to get her out of there.Immediately, prostitutes began emerging from all corners and alleyways, approaching the limousine that had just stopped in front of the motel.Many of them were fighting among themselves to attend to such a wealthy-looking man. It was unusual to see such an elegant car in that area. There was no doubt that he was someone with a lot of money.Within seconds, the limousine was surrounded by women offering their sexual services.Curtis opened the limousine door and quickly got out, ignoring all the women who were pushing to get a unique opportunity."What are you looking for, handsome?" said one of the prostitutes as she played with her hair."I can give you all the pleasure you desire," assured another woman, look
"Thank you for helping me, Curtis. Now you can drop me off under the first bridge you find," said Ágata, looking out the window with regret."Don't say such nonsense, Ágata. If I didn't leave you at that motel, I'm certainly not going to leave you living on the street. You'll come with me to the Stanton mansion. That's still your home," Curtis said firmly.Ágata snorted, lowering her head and closing her eyes in deep regret."You're wrong, Curtis. I'm no longer a Stanton. I gave all that up when I relinquished my share of the inheritance," she said, keeping her eyes closed."You didn't know Prince Rick's intentions. No one did. The only traitor here is him," Curtis said, placing his hand on Ágata's shoulder to try to offer some comfort.Ágata quickly dodged his hand, pulling her shoulder away in fear, and looked him directly in the eyes with a frightened expression."Sorry, Curtis. I'm still very scared from everything I went through in that place," Ágata said, very embarrassed."Don'
That night, the whole family had gathered for dinner, as was now a well-established tradition. Curtis always insisted that these kinds of customs should never be lost. Despite the fact that the Stanton siblings and Beth hated Curtis, he always found a way to keep them together.The table had been masterfully decorated, ready to host a true feast. Exquisite dishes and unique delicacies prepared by the country's best chefs, whom Curtis had brought to work at the mansion.Carson, Cambell, Amber, Kim, Beth, Curtis, and Ander were already at the table, waiting for the moment to start savoring the excellent food.In front of them was a true culinary masterpiece, yet it didn't seem to matter to them, especially to Ander. Ander only looked at his phone screen, waiting for the time to go to work with Charles Ballmer.Suddenly, Curtis stood up with a glass of champagne in his right hand and made it ring by striking it with a fork.The sharp sound immediately caught the attention of everyone pre
"What the hell did you just say?" Carson asked, utterly bewildered.However, no one was as shaken as Amber. She felt her world had suffered a massive earthquake that shook everything."Just as you heard. Agatha and I are getting married. That way she will be entitled to fifty percent of my fortune," Curtis explained."I can't believe it," Ander said, astonished.Curtis took Agatha's hand and confidently led her to the long table."Agatha will marry me, thus regaining the Stanton surname, and as my wife, she will have every right to sit at the table like any of you," Curtis said and then kissed Agatha's hand.Agatha remained dismayed, her gaze easily drifting. It was not easy being rejected by the people she considered special.Curtis took her by the waist and smiled happily while Kim and Amber looked at him with disdain."That was my big reason to celebrate... Where's the toast?" Curtis asked mockingly, knowing everyone was uncomfortable with the union.Everyone was forced to raise th
"Annie? What the hell are you doing here?" Ander asked, completely alarmed."Let those women go right now, or I will call the police," Annie threatened, shouting loudly."I’ll fill you with lead first," Charles Ballmer threatened as he and his escorts aimed at her, ready to shoot.Annie's warning caused a great reaction among the women locked inside the container. They began to scream and cry for help desperately, making more noise than usual."Shut up!" Charles shouted, pointing inside the container.The women inside the container had already seen the kind of heartless animal Charles Ballmer was. Whenever they captured a new batch, he made sure to execute a couple in front of the others. That way, none of them would get the crazy idea to escape."Don't shoot, please. Don't shoot," Ander pleaded, placing himself in front of Annie to protect her."Why did you bring that meddler here?" Charles asked, losing control."I didn't, I didn't... She must have followed me," Ander explained desp
The limousine stopped in front of Annie's house, and she stepped out slowly with her head down and a sad expression. She hugged herself as if she were suffering from extreme cold.The house lights turned on, and her father quickly came out to see what was happening. It was unusual for his daughter to be brought home by such an elegant car."Annie!" her father shouted as he rushed out of the house."Annie, really. It’s very important that you stay quiet. You can’t tell anyone about what you saw tonight," Ander warned once more.Ander whispered softly through the window to avoid being overheard by Annie's father. He knew that man would confront him again once he got close to the limousine."You again? What are you doing here? I thought I told you not to see my daughter again," Annie's father shouted angrily."Dad, please. Stop," Annie said, unable to hold back her tears in front of her father.This only agitated her father further, prompting him to continue confronting Ander."What the
A direct shot to Annie's father's forehead instantly took his life while she looked utterly terrified, screaming with all her might until her throat was painfully torn. One of Charles's guards held her tightly, forcing her to watch. She had to witness what she had caused by not keeping her mouth shut.Her mother had already met the same fate a minute earlier, and now both were just corpses beginning to decompose in their yard. Charles Ballmer had killed them both with his own hands while Annie watched.The screams and gunshots were heard up to a kilometer away, yet no one dared to come to Annie's defense. No one was stupid enough to confront the most feared and respected mobster in the country. That would have been true suicide, and Annie was learning it firsthand."Alright. We're done here," said Charles Ballmer as he cleaned his gun."What should we do with the girl, sir?" asked one of the guards."She will have a completely different fate from her parents," Charles replied without
Some weeks had passed since that day, and one morning, the day dawned quite cool with a radiant sun. It was the perfect morning to go for a walk. The birds were singing, and the flowers were opening their petals magnificently.Curtis was in his room getting ready to go to the company building to take care of some pending matters.He was buttoning the cuffs of his expensive and elegant suit. The days when he dressed like a beggar and everyone mocked his appearance were long gone. Now he was a recognized and respected magnate among the elite.Agatha bid him farewell with a huge and passionate kiss before leaving the room. She looked very happy and radiant. Somehow, Curtis had managed to bring back her shine."Do you have to leave so soon?" Agatha asked, hanging from the neck of her future husband."I'm really running late," Curtis said, looking at the time on the diamond watch on his wrist."What a shame. I wanted a little action in the jacuzzi," Agatha said playfully while running her
