Gavin was escorted into the hospital ward by the servants who had accompanied him to the hospital to see his father who was in the last moment of his life."Excuse us," he ordered the servants to leave so he could speak with Gavin alone. Turning to his fifteen years old son, He began, "Gavin, I'm not gonna make it but I want you to be strong."Gavin was unable to hold back his tears as he listened to his dying father speak. He could see how fragile life was and how even wealth wasn't enough to buy life."I want you to promise two things," he continued."What are they, father?" Gavin asked, wondering why his father would want him to make such promises on his death bed."Promise me that first of all, you'll live a normal life free from all of the Roman's wealth. Promise me you'll live as though you were never rich." His father said.The Roman family was one of the most influential families in the country and it was a privilege to be born into it. Hearing his father ask him to make such

"Congratulations, Sophie. I'm so proud of you," Oliver Stallion said warmly as he and his wife, Katherine, sat with Sophie for dinner that evening.Sophie, Meghan's younger sister, had recently become engaged to Harry Styles, one of the youngest self-made millionaires in the region of Domingo. Additionally, she had just been promoted to the position of the new human resource manager of the family's company, a testament to her meritocracy, dedication, and above all, her loyalty to her parents."Thank you, Dad," Sophie replied, her smile radiating with happiness."What about Harry? Isn't he joining us for dinner anymore?" Katherine inquired."Harry called to say he'd be arriving a bit late. He's with a friend, and they're probably coming together for dinner," Sophie explained."Is that so?" Oliver mused, nodding in understanding."Yes, Father. But I know he'll be here soon," Sophie reassured them.They heard the doorbell ring. "That must be Harry and his friend." Sophie said getting up

Oliver gestured for Harry not to pay attention to what he felt was going wrong. His attention turned to the young man who had come in with Harry. He was a young handsome man who appeared wealthy and quite fashionable."This is my friend, James Nenma, he is the CEO of Tellex corporation," Harry introduced."Wow!" Katherine exclaimed.Tellex was one of the most prominent multinational companies in Domingo and seeing the CEO as a very young man who was also a friend of Harry gave her goosebumps."Nice to meet you," Katherine greeted."Same here, ma'am. We're sorry for coming late for the dinner. Harry and I took a brief stop at the mall to get something for Sophie. I also got something for you too." James said, handing over the shopping bag he was holding. Katherine was flattered. The fact that a gentleman she had not met before buying her a gift made her beam with joy. Her surprise increased by the sight of what was in the bag. A beautiful jewellery box which housed an expensive neckla

As the sun hid behind the clouds that same evening, it dawned upon Gavin that he had no where to stay for the night. His stomach had been crying all day but his pocket had denied him of attending to it's cry. He remembered he had used the last ten dollars on him the previous night to get a place at the inn. Left with no option, he made the tough decision to return to his in-laws and to beg if they'd allow him to sleep at their security/servant quarters.The thought of walking almost ten kilometres to his in-laws place didn't bother him too much provided he could just get a place to lay his head for the night. The streets of Domingo were their usual that evening - perfect for couples to go out and have fun. Every restaurant he walked past was occupied with beautiful and lovely couples enjoying the evening together. He thought of Meghan wondering how she was faring. He had not heard from her since he left her at her parents place the previous day.Walking past one of the most expensive

The sun rose earlier than usual on that beautiful Tuesday morning. Unlike every other day, Meghan had planned her day before hand. After she returned from her date with James the previous night, which Gavin had ended up interrupting, she decided to focus on making herself more useful to her parents company. Her issues with Gavin had lingered on for quite too long and it was weighing her down. She had made a mental note of all that she had in mind to do that Tuesday. First, she'd meet with a new client and then visit the saloon to have her hair well made.Sophie had taken the day off and since she wouldn't be going to the office, Meghan decided to borrow her car. The cost of public transport was quite on the high side and with Sophie's car she could save a few dollars for other things she might want to do later."Hey, Sophie, do you have plans this morning?" Meghan inquired."What plans?" Sophie asked, unable to understand what Meghan was talking about."I mean, do you have plans of g
