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, a young man dressed in a gray suit briskly walked out of an antique store by the roadside of the busy streets of Brooklyn. He was holding a small package he had visited the store to pick up. He was standing by the side of the road waiting to get a cab to drive him to his next destination. However, at that moment , a white Rolls Royce parked right in front of him.A couple of seconds later, a man who looked to be in his mid-forties, alight the vehicle. At a glance, Chris instantly recognized the face of the individual approaching him despite the fact that the last time he saw this person was fifteen years ago. The man was none other than Elias Brown, the butler of the famous and prestigious White family that was based in Washington D.C. Elias walked toward the spot Chris was standing and instantly bowed his head respectfully to greet him which was very bizarre and shocked everyone that was watching the scene. The presence of an expensive and luxurious car like the Rolls Royc

    The glamorous Carter family villa was brightly lit and extravagantly decorated with colorful ribbons. The ambience fully described the festive mood of this atmosphere as tonight was the Carter family gathering banquet celebration of the New Year.There were several luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benzes, Audi, BMW and many other expensive cars parked inside the compound which belonged to various members of the Carter family.Every notable member of the Carter family all were present at the main villa to give their new year wishes and greetings to the family’s patriach; Benjamin Carter. Their attendance was under the disguise of celebrating the New Year but their real motive was to also curry Benjamins favor by gifting him with various expensive and luxurious presents.Meanwhile, as everyone was partying inside the villa and enjoying the ongoing party,a shabby looking car was being parked inside the compound alongside the other luxury cars.Shortly, a beautiful blonde lady stepped out of

    Meanwhile, Eric and the rest of the Carter relatives burst into loud laughter after hearing Chris' response. “Hahaha……This is totally hilarious, I wasn't aware that your family was too poor to afford a decent present for grandfather. We would have gladly supported you if only you had asked for help rather than insulting grandfather's prestige by buying a lowly present.” Eric remarked in a mocking tone, intentionally trying to humiliate Eva.Eva was speechless and bit her tongue in frustration. She was unable to refute Eric's words. Afterall, she could blame herself for blindly putting her trust in Chris when she was clearly aware of how useless he had always been.However, she always hoped that he would try to make an effort to change people's disdainful impression of him but this wasn't the time for her to be moping on such useless thoughts.Eva was currently in a state of dilemma worrying about how she was going to resolve the unfavorable predicament that Chris had just thrown her

    Eva was saddened as she found herself in the situation she was desperately trying to avoid and again she could only blame Chris.“That doesn't change anything. This low-life is your husband so you have to take responsibility for his mistakes. How could you allow your husband to buy our grandfather such a lowly cheap gift from a street vendor ?”Brian Wilson, who was Eric's father and Benjamin’s second son remarked, blatantly accusing Eva of being negligent."It was completely my decision to buy this gift for grandpa, besides I never said that I got it from a street vendor either.”‘Shut it!” Eric snapped at Chris before shifting his attention back to Eva.“Your lowly husband might be a little bit dumb but I expected a bit more from you as a member of the Carter family but it seems that being around him has begun to cause a negative influence on you.” Eva’s cheek flushed red in embarrassment after hearing Eric's degrading remarks that were directed at her. “Don't slander me and watch

    Everyone present in the banquet room was all in an uproar after hearing Chris' detailed explanation.The disdainful comment from the guest in the hall made Eric nervous. He broke into a cold sweat as he feared that his reputation would be ruined.To be more accurate, he had indeed bought this Jade Sculpture from a peddler at a low price of a hundred thousand dollars. He didn't expect that anyone would be able to recognize it as a fake product. He couldn't allow himself to go down in such a disgraceful manner."You are a despicable bastard. You are obviously just trying to slander me. I bought these Jade Sculpture from a verified source and they couldn't be fake.” Eric shamelessly lied. Chris smiled because he expected that Eric wouldn't admit his fault easily. “In that case, why don't we let someone else verify the authenticity of the Jade in order to confirm it's truly an original.” he suggested. Everyone in the room fixed their gaze on Ben as he was the only other person in the ro

    Chris had a sullen expression on his face as he exited the premises of the Carter family villa. He was waiting to get a cab to drive him out of the estate when the vibration and sound of his cellphone ringing in his pocket attracted his attention. He casually dipped his hand inside his pocket to pull out the cellphone, still sulking about the scenario that occurred inside the Carter villa. However, his thoughts instantly switched as soon as he glanced at the number calling him. Chris’s gaze narrowed as he intently fixed his eyes on the phone screen. This was the last number he expected to call him at this time. The phone number was an exclusive private number that belonged to only one person and Chris didn’t need to guess who that person was since it was none other than his master and the man who raised him from childhood, James Wade. Without further delay, he picked up the call. “I thought we agreed that you were never going to contact me." He confronted the caller as soon as he

    It was evening by the time Chris returned back to the small colonial house he lived in with Eva and her parents included. This place was where he lived but was not so homey because the atmosphere was always engulfed with tension. Since neither of Eva’s parents have liked him very much. As soon as Chris walked into the living room he was greeted with the loud raging voice of Kate, his mother-in-law “You idiots. How dare you have the guts to come to this place, huh? Do you realize the unfavorable predicament you pushed this family into just because you had to offend the patriarch? "Leave now because you are not welcome in this house." Kate and Bruce were unable to attend the family new year gathering because Ben had a doctor's appointment to treat Ben’s paralyzed leg.However, the relatives who were present at the party had already given them a call and told them about the ruckus that Chris had caused at the party. They both confirmed the validity of this news when Eva returned back

    The next morning, Chris received a text message from James. He got out of bed and went to carry out his chores and made breakfast before he left the house while driving his old electric scooter. His destination was the same restaurant he had gone to meet James the previous day. Upon his arrival, he found James seated at the same table but this time around he wasn't alone. Seated next to James was a young man who looked to be in his mid twenties. “You're late.” James queried as Chris sat right in front of him. “Unlike someone who always has everything prepared for him every morning, I on the other hand had chores that must be attended to.” Chris retorted with a sarcastic smile. “I never knew your life had become so miserable. Who would have imagined that a warlord like yourself would become a houseboy?” James remarked and sipped the coffee in front of him. “Tell me about it.” Chris said nonchalantly and pointed at the young man sitting next to James. “Who is he?” “This is Etha

    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 had just finished her breakfast and was preparing to leave for work when she noticed something unusual. From the l

    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 weight of their family's ru

    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
