"Should have started there," exclaimed the terminal manager.

"What!?" said the obese woman in astonishment.

"You, shut up!" ordered the manager, pushing the obese woman with his shoulder.

The obese woman fell silent, but the expression of bewilderment didn't leave her face.

"The gentleman is a special customer and deserves special treatment," the manager took Curtis by the shoulders, smiling cheerfully. "What is your name, distinguished friend?"

"Curtis?" said Curtis, also very puzzled.

"I want you to give our friend Curtis the best seat you have on your bus," ordered the manager.

"I don't understand anything that's happening," said the obese woman, scratching her head.

"I don't pay you to understand; I pay you to drive and obey," shouted the manager.

"Yes, sir," the obese woman lowered her gaze, furrowed her brow, and shrugged her shoulders.

Curtis put the card away again and couldn't help but smile at the face of the obese woman. Deep down, he enjoyed seeing her get what she deserve

    The funeral of Joseph Stanton had changed venues. It was now taking place at the Ballmer mansion, adorned with dignified decorations.Beth found out and promptly appeared at the Ballmer mansion, putting on her best performance as a grieving widow. She dressed entirely in black, holding a Bible in hand, mourning beside Joseph's casket while Alfred wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.She knew perfectly well that the elite would attend Joseph's funeral if it was held at the Ballmer mansion, and she cared about the opinions of those magnates for potential future business."If you look up the word 'hypocrisy' in the dictionary, you'll find a picture of your mom," Charles Ballmer said to Carson as they observed Beth from a distance.Carson sighed, lips moving with arms crossed over his chest. "You can't blame her for doing what's necessary to secure that endless fortune," Carson replied.Charles smirked ironically, placing his hand on Carson's shoulder. "Your dad had very bad luck cro

    One of those guards shoved Curtis forcefully, making him step back several paces. He felt deeply offended. He clenched his fist tightly but couldn't retaliate.Curtis decided to walk away to find another way into the cemetery. As the hours passed, Joseph's burial drew closer.Joseph's coffin traveled in a special carriage personally paid for by Charles Ballmer, followed by a whole caravan of black cars.Beth rode alone with Baxter, complaining throughout the journey about how annoying it was to be in that place. Alfred sat in the back and simply listened to the conversation between Beth and Baxter."I want that old man buried once and for all," Beth calmly applied makeup in the rearview mirror as Baxter drove."We're almost there," Baxter replied without looking at her."I can already taste that immense fortune," Beth celebrated, leaning back in her seat, daydreaming about Joseph's inheritance.Baxter continued driving, not speaking much. He seemed distracted and pensive."That stupid

    The burial of Joseph took place, and then everyone tried to get back to their lives to continue after that loss.Curtis decided to leave the country, taking advantage of the golden card that Joseph had left him.He arrived at the airport intending to take a flight to any nation in the world where he could be away from the Stanton family, the Ballmers, and Amber."Good morning," said Curtis as he approached the ticket counter."Good morning," the employee said, looking at Curtis with doubt."I would like to buy a ticket."The employee raised her eyebrow, and her lips moved to one side of her face to express distrust."Are you sure you can pay for it?"The girl discreetly rolled her chair back a bit and prepared to press the alarm button to call security."Of course... I have enough money to pay for all the seats on the plane," Curtis shouted, losing control a bit."Don't shout, sir. Please remain calm."The girl pressed the button under the podium, and immediately the silent alarm went

    Cartago is the most elegant and distinguished restaurant in the entire city where Curtis lived. It was Joseph's favorite place to dine, and one could only attend there by helicopter."Are you nervous?" Lucius shouted as the helicopter descended atop that beautiful building.Curtis clung to the helicopter's safety bar, fear evident on his face. He was terrified."I just want to get down," Curtis said.The helicopter's door opened, and restaurant staff courteously helped Curtis descend.Lucius Garner began to walk towards the interior of the restaurant without saying a word, and Curtis had to hurry to catch up with him.Entering that place was like visiting a palace from another world. It was sublime, something Curtis had never seen before in his life. It was easy to understand why it was Joseph Stanton's favorite place.Curtis was shocked when he saw a giant portrait of Joseph right in the center of the restaurant."Amazing, isn't it?" Lucius asked, also admiring the artwork.After tha

    The sound of the doorbell echoed through the quiet mansion, disrupting the afternoon tranquility. An employee, in the house's impeccable uniform, hurried to open the front door. On the other side, a weary-looking delivery person held several boxes."Good afternoon, may I assist you?" the employee asked politely.The delivery person nodded, handing over the package with a tired smile."I have a delivery for Mrs. Beth Aldress," he said, as the employee took the packages with curiosity. "They're the uniforms she ordered for all the staff," the delivery person explained before bidding farewell and quickly departing.The employee closed the door behind him and hurried to bring the package to Beth, knowing that his employer would be eager to inspect the new uniforms for her staff.Under the warm afternoon sun, Beth and Baxter relaxed by the mansion's pool, enjoying the quiet murmur of the water.As the sun kissed their skin, Beth turned to Baxter with an inquisitive look in her eyes."Baxte

    Beth had taken a bath to relax her body after that stressful day where she was forced to deal with those starving dead men who made up her service staff. Now she was relaxing to wait to be sexually devoured by Baxter as he had instructed. An elegant robe was all that covered her body, and at the same time she moisturized her legs with an expensive French skin cream while Alfred stood there firmly in the corner of the room. The door behind her back opened abruptly and a loud bang made her scream from the shock of the sudden deafening sound. It was Baxter entering with a bottle of champagne in his hands and uncorked it just as he entered. The steaming bottle let out all that exquisite bubbly drink to fall to the floor as Baxter stretched out his arms in victory. "Have you lost your mind?" asked Beth after lowering her arms slowly past the great scare Baxter had given her. "Guess who called me? come on...guess...," Baxter was happy and you could easily tell by his huge grin. Baxte

    "You don't have a brain? Everything you wrote in that report is wrong!Baxter closed his eyes as Beth threw that document against his chest, and the white sheets began to fly around the room.The room that once served as Joseph Stanton's private office was now some sort of spa for Beth to receive a manicure from Alfred.Baxter gathered courage and sighed to bend down and pick up all those sheets submissively."We need a good report that explains our position on the disappearance of the will, and you produce this garbage," Beth complained.Baxter crossed his arms while crouching and silently stared at Beth. His mouth didn't utter words, but his mind was shouting insults at her like never before in his life."If you want a better report, you'll have to pay someone," threatened Baxter, utterly tired of Beth's humiliations."You really are a lousy lawyer. I don't understand how you worked for Joseph for so many years," Beth said, denigrating Baxter's work.Baxter continued gathering all t

    Quickly, murmurs and gasps of astonishment flooded the entire courtroom where the trial was taking place.The people present wondered who these strangers were that had just arrived, and why they entered so disrespectfully into the supreme court chamber."Order! Order in the court!" shouted Judge Brown, pounding the bench with his wooden gavel. "Guards, please."The security guards quickly moved to prevent Lucius and Curtis from entering, but they did their best to stay inside without needing to struggle with the guards."We have something very important to say," Lucius shouted as he evaded the guards.The people quickly fell silent, and the murmuring in the room vanished instantly."May we know who you are and why you are entering in the middle of the trial like this?"Lucius waved a document in his hand with his arm fully extended so that everyone could see it."My name is Lucius Garner, and I have a document that is vital to the development of this case," Lucius shouted as he walked

Without hesitation, she uncorked it in front of Campbell, letting the bubbly foam cascade everywhere, soaking the red carpet beneath their feet.It was all laughter, hugs, and kisses until a voice amplified by a megaphone wiped the smiles off their faces instantly."Campbell Stanton, step out of the plane with your hands on your head," the police chief's voice echoed through the megaphone.Campbell and Dany peered out the window to see an entire army of international special police agents on the runway, aiming their firearms directly at the plane.Curtis returned to the Stanton mansion safe and sound, as he

    Charles Ballmer laughed maniacally. He couldn't believe that he had finally ended the life of the wretched Curtis Stanton. He had always known he would kill him since the day Curtis had used him as a stool alongside Araña years ago.His escorts also laughed, pleased to see that their boss had finally gotten what he wanted. However, things changed in an instant. A shot came out of nowhere, hitting one of the escorts directly in the forehead, killing him immediately. Another shot hit the leg of another escort, and that's when everyone finally reacted, starting to shoot in all directions without knowing where the shots were coming from.Charles Ballmer crouched down and quickly sought shelter from the gunfire while continuing to give orders."Shoot! Shoot at anything that moves!" Charles shouted, hiding behind one of the containers.Curtis was also crawling on the floor, completely unharmed by the shots Charles Ballmer had just fired at him.Immediately, the dock was filled with internat

    The limousine slowly came to a stop in front of the Stanton mansion, and Agatha looked through the window while accompanied by Angeline."Welcome to your true home," said Agatha as the gigantic gate opened to allow the limousine to pass.Both were personally greeted by Curtis.Agatha quickly got out of the limousine and ran to hug Curtis."What the hell are you doing here? I told you to stay on the island and take care of Angeline," Curtis reprimanded."He came back, Curtis. He managed to find me," Agatha confessed, terrified, with a look of fear in her eyes."That's impossible!" Curtis exclaimed."I know, I know. But he did it. He reached the hotel and chased me up the stairs. He said Angeline was his daughter and that he had the right to know her," Agatha said, unable to stop crying."You are safe now," Curtis comforted her with a kiss on the forehead."Daddy!" Angeline exclaimed, hugging her father's leg while Alfred carried Agatha's suitcases."Hello, my love," Curtis greeted with

    “Curtis?” said Beth, peeking onto the balcony, “I finally found you. I've been searching all over the mansion for you.”“I was reminiscing about the view from this magnificent balcony,” Curtis replied.“Remembering old times, I imagine.”“Exactly in this spot, I stood the day Baxter went crazy and killed Lucius for no reason,” commented Curtis, fully aware that Beth was the culprit. However, he never pointed the finger at her directly.Beth immediately understood the accusatory remark and simply smiled to keep up the pretense.“It’s a real shame that such a beautiful place brings such bitter memories to your mind,” Beth responded.“No, not at all. It’s the perfect occasion to remember the inexplicable things that only happen in the Stanton mansion. Ander died and no one knows a thing about what happened. It’s exactly the same with Lucius and Baxter,” Curtis remarked sarcastically. “These elegant walls hold mysteries that the world has no clue about.”Beth only responded with a feigned

    Agatha couldn't believe it. That man had found her and surely wanted to harm her and her young daughter. She could expect anything from Prince Rick at that moment. It was impossible to trust someone who had abandoned her and stolen all her money."Let's go, Angeline. We need to go back," Agatha said, terrified, taking her young daughter by the arm to return to the elevator."Agatha!" Prince Rick shouted, rising from his seat when he saw that Agatha wanted to flee from him.However, the elevator had already closed again and was on the upper floors. No matter how many times Agatha pressed the buttons, the door simply wouldn't open.Agatha watched with concern as Rick quickly crossed the entire lobby to reach where she was."Let's go through the stairs," Agatha said, picking up her young daughter and carrying her to move much faster.She was forced to walk a bit further to her right to enter the door leading to the hotel's stairs. She tried to move as quickly as possible without drawing

    The next day, all the media outlets were abuzz with a story that went global in a matter of minutes.Ander Stanton, the youngest member of the powerful Stanton family, had been found completely charred inside the remains of a limousine that had been intentionally set on fire. He was found alongside a girl, also charred, who, for some strange reason, had a chain tied around her neck.This news plunged the Stanton family into mourning and called into question the performance of the city's police authorities. The citizens were alarmed. If something like this could happen to someone as important as Ander Stanton, what could an ordinary citizen expect?"That's common in this city. People are murdered like that every day. It's just that now it's someone rich, and that makes the difference," said an old woman being interviewed on television while Charles Ballmer and Beth Aldress watched.They were both completely naked and sitting in a hot tub. Charles was enjoying a cigar while Beth just re

    Ander lost all the harshness in his voice and his bravery vanished as if by magic. Now he was just a scared and cowardly child, trembling like jelly in front of what seemed like a ghost from the past."Annie..." Ander sobbed, a mix of lament and high-pitched cry.He began to sweat profusely, and tears streamed down his face like waterfalls as he remained in disbelief. He couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing.Annie was there, staring at him face to face. However, she seemed unresponsive. Somehow, Charles Ballmer had managed to destroy her feelings and emotions. Everything that Annie once was had been erased from her mind forever. Now she was just a kind of pet that only served to wag her tail when her master, Charles Ballmer, came home tired from work."What did that bastard do to you?" Ander said, crying like a child.He took the chain that bound Annie's neck and noticed it was made of very resistant material. Perhaps that was why she had never managed to escape. Or maybe Charle

    Ander woke up again in the middle of the night due to a horrible recurring nightmare that he had over and over again. Annie's face and voice tormented him during his dreams, preventing him from resting. Since it happened, Ander hadn't been able to sleep peacefully on any of the following nights."You're a damn coward," he told himself to gather the courage to go on with his life.His idea was to convince himself that he had chosen well by showing loyalty to Charles Ballmer. After all, Annie had brought that horrible end upon herself. However, the nightmares and the bitter taste in his mouth didn't go away with anything. Maybe it was something he had to learn to live with.The next day, everything returned to normal at the Stanton mansion. Beth walked proudly around the mansion, not missing any opportunity to rub her triumph in Curtis' face.However, Curtis was locked in his room with no desire to come out. He just stared out the window while everyone else enjoyed the pool. Maybe they

    "Congratulations," said Campbell innocently."I think you should be grateful he didn’t get your wife pregnant, idiot," Beth snapped angrily, while Campbell felt ashamed."My personal life with my wife is none of the business of anyone present," Curtis commented immediately, although, to be honest, he was still in shock."You’re right. We don’t care about the child of a bastard and a traitor," Beth said venomously, not caring that she was talking about her own grandchild."He will own everything you see," Curtis defended himself with a sharp comment."That reminds me," Beth stood up and began walking around the office, "the new company directors have been talking, and...""And what?" Curtis questioned."And we’re thinking of kicking you out of the business," Carson immediately attacked.Curtis smiled, letting out a bit of air in a half-laugh."That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard," Curtis said, smiling."We want to remove you from your duties as president of Stanton Enterpr
