Curtis was on his way to the museum where the Stanton family art exhibition was taking place. Beth had done everything possible to keep Curtis from being present, but still, he was heading to that place.The problem was that the bus was moving very slowly. At this rate, he wouldn't make it on time. The worst part was the discomfort he felt sitting in those narrow seats that didn't leave any space.To make matters worse, Curtis was sitting next to a very obese woman who took up a lot of space between the seats. He had never been so uncomfortable in his life as he was on this trip.The obese woman next to Curtis fell asleep and began to snore loudly, causing Curtis to feel even more stressed.The man sitting in front of Curtis suddenly reclined his seat, leaving the entire backrest on him.Curtis couldn't believe it. He was surrounded by reckless people who didn't care about respecting others' space. He tried to do the same as the person in front of him, but his seat was broken and coul
The art exhibition continued as if nothing had happened, but Prince Rick Carusi's attitude towards Curtis had completely changed. He no longer saw him as a mere worker he could humiliate and treat like trash. Now, he treated him with great admiration and respect. He even seemed to ignore Beth and Agatha just to pay attention to Curtis Stanton."Good evening," Curtis said loudly in the center of the room to draw everyone's attention. "Today is a very special day. Today, the world will see the immense art collection that Joseph Stanton accumulated throughout his life. Please, enjoy.""Bravo! ... bravo! ... you're a genius!" Prince Rick shouted as he clapped and whistled in the crudest and most common manner.Agatha and Beth looked at each other in astonishment. They didn't understand what the hell had happened to the prince who arrived an hour ago.Curtis returned to his family's side and the prince to enjoy the exhibition just like everyone else.The prince quickly rushed to serve a co
The next day, everything had returned to normal at the Stanton mansion. Beth walked in the shadows, waiting for a small opportunity to harm Curtis, while he sought ways to make everyone happy.Curtis enjoyed his morning in his private office accompanied by his good friend and lawyer, Lucius Garner. In addition to them, there was a small company that supposedly shouldn't be there, but for Curtis, it had become commonplace.Kim Ballmer was sitting on Curtis's lap while he discussed important matters with his lawyer."The company has started to experience some losses that are entirely new. Such a large deficit has never been seen in the Stanton companies," said Lucius.Lucius spoke facing Curtis, who was seated behind his desk, but he couldn't help but notice Kim Ballmer sitting on his lap, as if she were a child asking Santa Claus for a gift."It's impossible for there to be losses. I haven't changed anything in the parameters," said Curtis."To be honest... I would feel more comfortabl
"I guess I don't have another option," said Curtis, placing his hands on the desk.Charles Ballmer arched his eyebrows and tilted his head slightly as he smiled, pointing the gun at Curtis.Curtis sighed and huffed loudly as he shook his head. He refused to accept it, but Charles left him no choice."I can give you another option... I can fill your head with lead right now, and that would be the end of our problem," threatened Charles with a passive-aggressive attitude."I prefer the other option," Curtis stood up and extended his hand to shake Charles Ballmer's hand."That's the Curtis I like," Charles Ballmer smiled and holstered his gun before shaking hands with his new partner."I guess I'll have to wait for you to make your first trip," said Curtis as he lowered his gaze to pick up his drink."Tonight.""What?!... Tonight?!" Curtis asked, very surprised."Yes... tonight. Is there a problem?""Ships need to be prepared at least a day in advance. There's a lot of paperwork to be do
Charles Ballmer pulled out his gun and began hitting the container forcefully."Shut up!" Charles ordered authoritatively, his voice sounding very intimidating.The voices of the women inside the container immediately fell silent upon hearing Charles Ballmer's voice. It was quite obvious that they were very afraid of that monster.Curtis was horrified, but he had to continue pretending to be there. Charles Ballmer was a very dangerous guy, and the last thing Curtis wanted was for him to become suspicious."I guess we can proceed with the shipment now," Charles Ballmer said."Y-yes... of course," Curtis replied, stuttering.Curtis gave the order, and a huge crane began to lift the container onto the ship. The screams were agonizing and made Curtis's skin crawl.Still, Curtis stood there pretending to smile, barely managing to ignore those screams that sounded like a rock concert."I'm glad I didn't kill you that day Joseph defended you," Charles said suddenly as he watched the containe
Curtis had spent the entire night with nightmares and strange sensations after what he had experienced the night before. So, he woke up the next day craving some peace and quiet.It was then that he decided to gather the whole family in the dining room during breakfast to make an important announcement.Beth, Ámbar, Kim, and all the Stanton siblings were waiting to eat while they had to wait for Curtis to arrive in the dining room as he had ordered."I'm hungry," exclaimed Ágata, looking at the empty plate in front of her."That idiot Curtis ordered that they wouldn't serve the food until he arrived," Beth explained, with her fingers intertwined in front of her mouth."That's stupid," said Cambell, exchanging a brief glance with his wife Kim."I support Curtis," said Kim, intending to embarrass her husband, "after all, he's the alpha male of this mansion."Beth couldn't help but laugh and let out a laugh that came out of her closed mouth."I have no doubt about that. You can learn a l
The limousine driven by Baxter stopped right in front of the beach. The Stone pier awaited the Stanton family with an elegant yacht prepared especially for them."We're here!" Curtis exclaimed, being the first to step out of the limousine.Ander was the second to descend, and a special sparkle could be seen in his eyes. It was the first time in his life seeing a yacht."Wow!" Ander exclaimed, his mouth agape."Do you like it?" Curtis asked, placing his hand on Ander's shoulder."I thought these kinds of boats were only seen in movies," Ander smiled in amazement."Can't I just stay in the limousine?" Ágata asked irritably once she got out of the limousine. "It's too hot. At least the limousine has air conditioning.""Don't be boring, Ágata. We'll have a great time," Curtis insisted.Ágata shielded her eyes from the sunlight with her hands, her face reflecting little enthusiasm."I need a drink," Ágata said."It's the most luxurious yacht in the world. It has air conditioning, a liquor
"You can do it, Curtis," Curtis said to himself to gather courage and board the yacht with a forced smile.Upon boarding, he found total boredom. Only Ander seemed to be enjoying the trip while the others wore expressionless faces.Ágata drank directly from a champagne bottle, and Campbell argued with Kim."Alright... I guess we can start the journey now," Curtis said.The yacht sailed away from the dock and quickly ventured into the sea as hours passed.Curtis tried to lift the mood on the boat, but no one seemed to share his enthusiasm."We can do something to entertain ourselves while we reach the island," Curtis proposed."No one wants to do anything with you, starving," Beth offended.Curtis rolled his eyes without paying much attention. It was already a habit for him to receive insults from Beth."What do you have in mind?" Carson asked."I'd like to do something recreational.""Dance?" Ágata asked while laughing."I don't know how to dance," Ámbar commented immediately."I love
