Chris was silent, the only movement the slight clenching of his jaw. He wasn’t about to jump into the family argument. He knew his place—an outsider, at least in Kate’s eyes—and he had no intention of fanning the flames further. His thoughts were already on what needed to be done next, on how he would make the Carter family pay for what they had done.

“Enough,” Bruce’s voice cut through the tension like a knife. He sat up straighter, turning to face his wife. His voice was calm, but there was an edge to it that silenced Kate instantly. “What’s done is done. Arguing about it isn’t going to change anything.”

For a moment, Kate looked like she was going to protest, but the look in Bruce’s eyes stopped her. She huffed and turned away, folding her arms across her chest again. The silence returned, but this time it was heavier, more oppressive. The weight of unspoken words and unresolved anger hung over them like a storm cloud.

    The car continued through the rain, the rhythmic sound of the windshield wipers the only noise for a while. Eventually, the bright lights of the city began to fade as they entered a quieter, more affluent area. The streets here were lined with large trees, their branches swaying gently in the breeze, and the houses were grand, each one more impressive than the last. Kate, who had been sulking in the back seat, perked up as they turned onto a wide, gated driveway. She frowned, glancing at Bruce who was equally curious about where they were going and then she shifted her gaze to Eva, who had a blank expression on her face and didn't even seem bothered in the slightest possible way. The mansion came into view after a long, winding drive through a private road. “Where are we?” Kate asked, her irritation giving way to confusion as the car rolled slowly toward the gates. Chris didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he pulled up to the security panel by the gate, rolled down the windo

    Kate's curiosity was at its peak but she listened to Eva’s suggestions and grumpily followed her to the mansion. “How dare that lout ignore me?” She silently thought in her mind while walking towards the mansion. The grand entrance doors of the mansion swung open with a creak, revealing a breathtakingly opulent foyer. High ceilings stretched upward, adorned with crystal chandeliers that sparkled under the light. The polished marble floors gleamed underfoot, reflecting the soft glow of the chandeliers and casting elegant patterns along the walls. The grandeur of the mansion was undeniable—towering columns flanked the entrance, and large, intricately framed portraits decorated the walls, giving the space an almost regal ambiance. Kate, who was originally in a terrible mood, stood frozen in the doorway, her eyes wide with awe as she took in the scene before her. She had grown up surrounded by wealth, but this was something else entirely. The mansion exuded an aura of quiet power, of

    Kate blinked, clearly stunned by her daughter’s outburst. She opened her mouth to retort, but no words came out. She glanced at Bruce, who said nothing, his eyes focused on the mansion before them. Eva’s eyes flashed with anger, and she spun on her mother. “Stop it, Mom! Chris has never taken anything from the Carters. This house—this life—it’s his, not yours, not the Carters’. You should be thankful.” Eva’s patience snapped. “Mom, would you stop already? Chris is trying to help. Why can’t you just trust him for once?” Kate turned to her daughter, her expression one of exasperation. “I’m just trying to understand. This doesn’t add up. We’re supposed to believe he magically has this mansion after all this time? I’ve known Chris for years, Eva, and he’s never mentioned anything like this.” Eva’s anger simmered beneath the surface, but Chris’s calm voice broke the tension. “Mother,I havent exploited you in all these years.” he said, his tone neutral but firm, “there’s a lot you don’t

    Chris looked down at her, his expression unreadable for a moment. Then, with a faint smile, he gently squeezed her hand. “This is just the beginning, Eva. There’s more I need to take care of. Eric and the Carters won’t get away with what they did.” Eva’s breath caught slightly, her eyes widening. She had known Chris would seek justice, but hearing him say it so plainly reminded her of just how dangerous he could be when provoked. “What are you going to do?” she asked, her voice soft but filled with concern. Chris’s gaze darkened slightly. “This time around, the Carter's will regret every ill-intent action they took against us.” “What are you talking about? There is no reason for us to escalate this issue any further. The house was the last and only thing connecting us together as a family but now that they have taken it back we are nothing but strangers to each other. I don't want us to get involved with them anymore." Eva said, trying to convince Chris to leave the Carters alon

    The large golden grandfather clock in the corner of the living room ticked softly, its steady rhythm the only sound in the mansion as Bruce and Kate entered. Eva was sitting alone on the couch, her hands folded in her lap, eyes distant as she stared at the dull skies through the wide glass windows. The air felt heavy, thick with tension that had been building since they arrived at this new mansion. The words that Chris said to her before leaving were still lingering in her mind that she didn't notice the presence of her parents. Bruce, ever observant, immediately noticed the absence of Chris. His eyebrow furrowed, a mix of concern and curiosity settling on his face. He had never quite understood the man his daughter had married. Chris had always been an enigma to him—quiet, often too reserved, but there was something about him that Bruce had long suspected was more than it seemed. Today, that suspicion weighed on him more heavily than ever. He cleared his throat, and both Kate and

    Eva’s heart ached hearing the hesitation in her father’s voice. She knew that Bruce still held some attachment to the Carters, despite how they had treated him and his family over the years. But this wasn’t the time for sentimentality. Chris was risking everything to protect them, to ensure that their home wasn’t destroyed, and she wasn’t about to let her father hold onto false loyalties. “Dad,” Eva began softly, reaching out to place her hand on his arm. “I know it’s hard. But the Carters have always treated us like we’re less than them. You know that. They’ve never cared about us, not really. They’ve humiliated you, belittled you… and now, they’ve destroyed our home.” Bruce remained silent, his face drawn tight with conflicting emotions. Eva continued, her voice growing firmer. “We can’t keep forgiving them just because they’re family. Look at what they’ve done to us. To Mom. To Chris. It’s time we stand up for ourselves.” Kate, who had been watching the exchange quietly, finall

    As Chris drove toward the Carter family’s new residence, the tension in the car was palpable. Chris’s jaw was set, his thoughts churning. He knew where they lived—it wasn’t hard to find—but confronting them so directly was a calculated risk.When he arrived, the mansion loomed in quiet grandeur, its façade belying the chaos within. Benjamin Carter himself opened the door, his expression shifting from surprise to unease as he recognized Chris.“You…,” Benjamin began cautiously, surprised to see Chris alone at their house. The last time Chris paid a visit to the Carter ended up becoming a tragic incident for the Carters. “What brings you here?”Chris didn’t respond, brushing past him into the house. Benjamin, caught off guard, quickly closed the door and followed him into the living room.Elliot lingered near the entrance, his posture relaxed but vigilant. Benjamin was surprised to see Elliot as well. “Mr…Mr Brown….” He stuttered, casting him a wary glance, noticing the subtle differen

    Chris knew that his peaceful life with Eva would surely be disrupted. He could put Eva and her loved ones in a lot of danger. Moreover, leaving now, with Eva dealing with the Carter situation, felt equally impossible as he didn't want to leave her unprotected.“Sir?” Ethan’s voice broke through his thoughts. “What are your orders?”Chris hesitated, his voice betraying the conflict he felt. “Stay on this and keep me updated. I need to think.”“Understood, sir,” Ethan said, his tone respectful. “And for what it’s worth, I know how much sir, James means to you. We’ll do everything we can to bring him back.”Chris ended the call and sat in silence for a long moment. The thought of James—strong, unyielding James—being captured felt like a punch to the gut. But the thought of leaving Eva behind, especially now, felt just as wrong. He was at a crossroads, and no matter which path he chose, the stakes were unbearably high.---Eva, meanwhile, sat at her desk, trying to focus on the tasks in

    Chris kept his focus on the road, but his thoughts repeatedly drifted to Eva seated beside him. Her gaze was distant, her fingers nervously fiddling with the strap of her handbag. He could tell the morning's encounter with the Carters was weighing heavily on her.After a few moments of silence, Chris spoke, his voice calm and steady. “Eva, I know it’s a lot to process, but you don’t have to keep it all bottled up. Talk to me.”Eva sighed and shifted in her seat. “It’s just… they showed up out of nowhere. Again. It’s exhausting, Chris. I keep wondering why now, why after all these years?”Chris glanced at her briefly before returning his eyes to the road. “People like the Carters often realize the value of what they’ve lost only when it’s too late. But you don’t owe them anything, Eva. Not an explanation, not a second chance—nothing.”Eva shook her head, frustration creeping into her tone. “It’s not that simple. They’re still my family, even if they’ve hurt me. And now with them grovel

    Benjamin quickly intervened, his tone desperate. “Please, Eva, don’t let his foolish words ruin this. I’m truly sorry for everything. I know I failed you, and I failed Bruce. We should have stood by you instead of casting you out. Please, give us a chance to make things right.”“I don't think everyone agrees with the motive of apologizing for your wrongdoings so I can't believe that your apologies are sincere.” Bruce remarked.Benjamin turned to Eric, his expression hardening. “Eric,” he said, his voice stern. “You owe them an apology.”Eric's usually confident demeanor was gone, replaced by a nervous energy that made him look small and uncertain. Benjamin turned to him, his expression hardening.Eric’s eyes darted between Eva, Kate, and Bruce. “I—”“Now,” Benjamin commanded.Eric swallowed hard, his gaze finally landing on Eva. “I’m sorry,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper.Eva’s eyes narrowed. “Sorry? For what, exactly?”“For everything,” Eric said, his voice shaking. “For

    Benjamin hesitated, taking in the luxurious yet understated decor that surrounded them. This was Chris’s doing—he could see it in every detail. The man had built a fortress, a sanctuary for Eva and her family.They were foolish to not have recognized his talent and worth all these years that had him living amongst them.“I came to apologize,” Benjamin said, his voice steady despite the storm of emotions inside him. “To you, to your family. And... to make things right.”Kate let out a bitter laugh. “Make things right? That’s rich, coming from you. Do you think showing up here with an apology is enough to undo everything you’ve done?”“I don’t,” Benjamin admitted, his gaze dropping to the floor. “But I had to try. I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness, but I need you to hear me out.”Eva folded her arms, studying him with a cold, calculating gaze. “Then speak.”Benjamin could see that it was impossible to get through Eva judging by the cold stare in her eyes. He stepped forward. “Bruc

    As the night deepened, Eric and the two representatives sat in their car, the weight of their desperation growing heavier with each passing moment. They had hoped that Eva would still come out of the building as they didn't want to admit that she could be living in such an expensive mansion.However, it finally dawned upon them that Eva wasn't coming out after waiting for several hours. Eric felt bitter as it pained him to see that Eva was living the life of luxury….. the kind he always dreamed about.The Carter's drove back home in subtle silence and even though nothing was said the other representative could feel Eric burning rage but the main problem was thinking about how Benjamin would react when he heard the news of their discovery.****The Morning sunlight streamed through the windows of the luxurious mansion, casting a golden glow over the spacious interiors.

    Eva returned home that evening, her mind clouded with thoughts of the Carters' audacious behavior earlier that day. The memory of Eric's arrogant tone and his entitlement grated on her nerves, but she was determined not to let it ruin her evening. She stepped into the warm, inviting ambiance of the mansion, finding Chris seated in the living room, a glass of wine in hand and an air of calm about him.“Welcome back,” Chris greeted, his voice soft as he looked up at her. His sharp eyes immediately noted the tension in her posture. “Rough day?”Eva exhaled and sat down beside him, kicking off her heels. “You could say that,” she replied, leaning back against the plush cushions. “The Carters were at Cross Corporation again today.”Chris’s hand tightened slightly around his glass, though he kept his expression neutral. “What did they want this time?”“They were begging for a meeting,” Eva said, shaking her head. “I refused to see them, but they didn’t leave. They waited in the reception ar

    As the Carters waited in the reception area of Cross Corporation, the tension in the air was palpable. Time seemed to crawl as they sat in near silence, the occasional murmur of distant phone calls and the soft hum of the building’s air conditioning system providing little comfort. Eric, his hands clenched into tight fists, could hardly sit still. The humiliation of being here—forced to beg for forgiveness from Eva, a woman who had once been part of their family, yet now was their greatest obstacle—was eating away at him. Every minute that ticked by felt like an eternity. The receptionist, efficient and unfazed by their presence, had told them that Eva was unavailable. That alone was enough to set Eric’s nerves on edge. Alan, the other representative accompanying him, tried to keep the peace, suggesting they wait patiently. “This is our only shot, Eric,” he said quietly. “We can't afford to make things worse.” But Eric was past the point of patience.

    The incident at the Carter residence had left a trail of rumors and whispers that had quickly spread through the high society of Brooklyn. Every elite family, once rivals or allies of the Carters, now speculated about the cause of the downfall. But no one dared to point fingers at the one responsible, especially not at Chris, the lowly son-in-law. After all, who would ever suspect a man living under another family’s roof? Yet, beneath the surface, Chris was the mastermind behind the fall of two once-proud families—the Ambroses and the Carters.Days had passed since the fall of the Carter family, and their reputation, once untouchable, was now a shadow of its former self. Their vast wealth had been seized by the banks, leaving them with nothing more than a dilapidated Victorian house to call home. Benjamin, the patriarch of the Carter family, sat in the small living room of their new residence, surrounded by his relatives. The room was filled with heavy silence, as each person seemed l
