Nicklaus decided to ignore his sister."Please, tell me why! Tell me why you don't want to accept his offer?" she pleaded, causing Nicklaus to narrow his eyes."We'll sleep at our parents' home tonight, Rita. I'm not accepting that offer because all his wealth rightfully belongs to our father. I cannot work as a servant again in a place where I should be the owner," he said, walking toward their old home.He sighed as he recalled the day his parents died. He had found a note in the house drawer that read: "All that I own is under the Fin family's protection. When you turn 26, contact someone—the number is on the back of this note and will become visible when it's time."Nicklaus had turned 26 a few weeks ago. Realizing this was the right time to check for the contact his father had mentioned, he decided to return to the home he had abandoned."What do you mean?" Rita was confused."You wouldn't understand," Nicklaus said."So where are we going?" Rita asked, accepting that nothing she

Rita turned to Nicklaus, raising her eyebrows. "What's happening?" she asked.She was already feeling dizzy. She tried leaning on Nicklaus for support but suddenly collapsed."Rita!" Nicklaus was immediately worried. He caught her and began stroking her back."We need to get her to a hospital right away," Nicklaus said, lifting her carefully.He didn't even care why the men were there—his instinct told him to trust them.He got into one of the cars the men had brought. "Take us to a hospital. She needs proper medical care with good facilities," Nicklaus said. He checked her pulse and wasn't overly worried because he knew nothing would happen to her as long as they reached a hospital within thirty minutes."We can take her to Rufus Teaching Hospital—it's the closest," the driver said, causing Nicklaus to raise his eyebrows."What do you mean it's the closest? That's about an hour and twenty minutes away," Nicklaus replied."What about the other hospitals nearby?" Nicklaus asked. The dr

"Now, start explaining," Nicklaus said. Chris gestured for Nicklaus to follow him to his desk.Nicklaus didn't respond—he was eager to know what Chris planned to tell him. As they reached Chris's desk, Chris took out some documents and handed them to Nicklaus."This could answer a quarter of your questions," Chris said. Without hesitation, Nicklaus took the file and began reviewing it.As he flipped the first page, he stopped and asked, "This is your office?""Yes, sir," Chris answered. Hearing someone refer to him as "sir" gave him goosebumps—it was rare for anyone to address him with such respect."So that means you work here, right?" Nicklaus asked."Not exactly. I supervise this place for my master," Chris said."Your master must be really wealthy," Nicklaus observed, but Chris paused before saying, "You're my master.""What?" Nicklaus nearly choked on his words. He was stunned and didn't know what to say."Yes, your father left instructions for you, but he was determined to make

"Is this the car here to pick us up?" Nicklaus asked."Yes, sir," Chris replied, causing Nicklaus's eyes to widen in shock. The cost of a Lincoln limousine was astronomical—Nicklaus was certain that even if he worked day and night for the rest of his life, he wouldn't be able to save enough money for such a vehicle."You don't like it, sir? I can have the driver change it to something you're more comfortable with," Chris offered, causing Nicklaus to chuckle softly. He was stunned—this was his first time getting this close to such an expensive car.He got into the vehicle and was immediately awed by the luxurious interior. Chris entered as well, maintaining a serious expression while reviewing his iPad.Nicklaus was certain everything on the iPad was work-related, as Chris didn't seem like the social type."Please, sir, you should review all these documents," Chris said, picking up a white file beside him.As Nicklaus took the file, he kept his eyes fixed on it. Reading through every l

"I'm sorry, sir. I didn't know that bothered you," Chris said."You keep saying different things, and I don't even know anything about him," Nicklaus said while Chris bowed his head to apologize again."It's just funny how I thought my father was transparent. I thought it would be easy to see through him, but unfortunately, I was wrong," Nicklaus said.He was completely serious, and Chris could tell that Nicklaus still resented the fact that his father hadn't told him about this secret life.It was hard for Nicklaus to forget—he tried to push aside the fact that he'd been humiliated by people he was actually superior to. He had worked day and night, yet each paycheck was cut short while his father owned multimillion-dollar companies somewhere."You're all the same," Nicklaus said, quickening his pace before walking out. Chris didn't follow him. Instead, he decided to let him leave, believing he'd return, especially since his sister was still at the hospital.Nicklaus had no money for
