Chapter: PART 9: A SHATTERED WORLD“You better leave and never come back here!”“Look, we are all so disgusted with you. You do not even deserve to see Brenda’s body.” Nicholai still vividly remembers how the people in his old village had driven him out, spewing vile things about him. The angry tone of their voices, shouting over one another, still echoed in his ears, as if he is a traitor and a heinous murderer.Nicholai picks up a 2R sized framed photo featuring himself, Aunt Brenda, his mother–Natalie, and Alicia–though he had scribbled all over Alicia’s figure. Despite hating what Alicia had done to him, that photo remains his only memento of the time spent with his mother and his aunt. Slowly, tears fall from Nicholai’s eyes. Time has passed so quickly; never had he imagined he would lose the people he cherished most, those who prayed for him even more often than for themselves, none other than Aunt Brenda and his mother.How foolish I was to trade my life for theirs. I live a very comfortable life now, plenty o

It has been a snowstorm for a few days, and I might go get some wood, the fire is almost gone.” Max replies.“Can I follow you?” The woman looks excited as she holds her husband’s arm.“No, Honey, you need to rest. The road is not fully healed yet, I do not want anything to happen to you.” Max refuses.“Please.” The woman looks at her husband with her puppy eyes.Seeing that, Max has no reason to refuse his wife. The man nods. “Okay, but you have to promise to always hold my hand so you do not fall.”The woman’s face lit up even more. “I PROMISE!” She exclaims as she grips her husband’s arm even tighter.Miranda

Chapter: PART 7: THE MYSTERIOUS MURDERAn Asian woman in a red dress walks in. Her gaze is fixed on a very familiar man sitting on one of the VVIP bar stools. In her hand is a long gun with somewhat unusual carvings, the trigger deliberately carved into a snake.Noticing someone approaching, the man smiles at her. “You finally come, My Love.” He says happily.Instead of being happy or just rushing to hug him, the woman rolls her eyes lazily. “You always give me trouble. What is the next? You want my soul?” She sneers.The man laughs. He grabs her slender waist affectionately. “Yes, I want your soul.”The woman purses her lips. “Tch, even after you dumped me that night, you can still say that.”“Rebecca, My Love, you are so vindictive. Come on, it is because my wife took me on vacation to a tropical country.”The woman named Rebecca purses her lips again. She hates every time the man’s wife is present in their relationship, as if she is not giving Rebecca the space to possess him completely.“Is that the gun I ordered?” The

Chapter: PART 6: NEAR BANKCRUPTCY“Thank you, Saddam.” Nicholai says to the driver.“Malik–actually, Sir.” The driver corrects. “Oh, sorry.”“It is not a big problem, Sir. Some people also think like that–they call me Saddam, and call Saddam by my name–Malik.”Nicholai laughs.Saddam and Malik are the twin drivers. They look so similar. People who have not known them for a long time will definitely call them wrong. Back in their college days, Saddam and Malik even used to sneak into each other’s classes–Saddam would attend Malik’s class and act just like him, while Malik would attend Saddam’s class. No one realized what was happening until the two of them confessed at a college reunion. “Just call me or Saddam when you are going home, Sir.” Malik says.“Yes, I will.” Nicholai answers. He walks into the BW Tech building, leaving behind Malik, who then drives off in his car. Nicholai looks at the workers who just arrived. He tries to smile at everyone. “Good morning!” Some people return Nicholai’s smile with their o

Chapter: Part 5: UNDERESTIMATED“Do you still want to go to the office with Mr. Alexis’ favorite car, Sir?” A driver asks to Nicholai.Nicholai smiles. Yesterday Nicholai just made a random choice to the car. He did not know that Alexis always used that car.“Honestly, it is not a big deal for me to go to somewhere with a random car.” Nicholai says.The driver nods and he chooses a red car for Nicholai before they go to the office.Nicholai looks out the car window, feeling as though he are floating. Yesterday was not a good impression for him. Robert made Nicholai ashamed, he always mentioned that Nicholai is an illegitimate child. Even though Robert always said that he loved Nicholai as his biological brother, Nicholai knows that he lied. However, this is the destiny Nicholai had to face. On the other hand, his station in life was at least somewhat elevated. Once a poor pizza deliveryman betrayed by his wife and bereaved by his mother’s death, he could now enjoy delicious meals and live in a lavish mansion—all whi

The maids always clean all the corner in this house without excepting.Nicholai’s hand takes a phone which is on the table besides his bed. The new phone which was given by Ivana yesterday.

It is too early for conglomerates to wake up. However, it is too late for Nicholai to wake up. Usually, Nicholai always woke up at three morning and prepared to go to work. It is truly saddening. But, is not that what poor people are supposed to do—go to bed last and wake up first to work more in order to pay
