Chapter 42
Mrs Harrison had been doing fine for some weeks, but one cold morning, things changed. Clara noticed it first. Their mother tried to stand up from the bed but almost collapsed. Her breathing was weak, her face looked pale, and she pressed her hand on her chest like something was squeezing her from the inside.Ava rushed to her side. “Mom, what’s wrong? Are you okay? Talk to us,” she said, already shaking.Mrs Harrison tried to smile, but her lips trembled. “I’m… I’m fine. Maybe it’s just stress. I didn’t sleep well.”But Clara wasn’t convinced. She placed her hand on her mother’s forehead and felt the burning heat. “Mom, you’re running a fever. This is not normal. We need to go to the hospital.”Mrs Harrison shook her head weakly. “Hospital again? Clara, we don’t have—” She didn’t finish. A heavy cough cut her words short.Ava looked like she would burst into tears. “Clara, please… do something.”Clara swallowed hard. Her hands were shaking, but she forced herself to stay
Chapter 43
The next morning started quietly, but Clara already felt pressure sitting on her chest. The landlady had been sending warning messages since last week, and Clara knew it was only a matter of time before she showed up.Mrs Harrison was still sick on the bed, coughing weakly. Clara kept checking her temperature while Ava boiled water in the small kitchen.“This sickness is getting worse,” Ava said, her voice shaking. “Clara, what are we going to do now?”Clara swallowed hard. “I don’t know… but somehow, we will manage.” She forced herself to stay calm, even though her hands were trembling. “Don’t tell Mom. She will panic.”Just then, a heavy knock hit the door.Ava’s eyes widened. “It’s her. The landlady.”Clara stood up slowly, wiped her hands on her skirt, and opened the door.The landlady entered immediately, her face tight with anger. “Clara Harrison, how long do you think I’ll wait? Two months rent. Two months! I’m tired of excuses.”Clara forced a weak smile. “Ma, please… Eric wil
Chapter 44
The week passed slowly, but inside the Harrison home, strange things began to happen—strange in a good way, but still confusing to Clara and Ava. Mrs. Harrison was taken back to the hospital for proper treatment. The nurses attended to her kindly, checking on her every few hours. They even moved her to a clean private room, something far beyond what the family could afford.Clara stood beside the bed, staring at the white sheets and the fresh medicines placed neatly on the table.“Who paid for all this?” she whispered.Ava shook her head. “I don’t know… The doctor said the deposit was made already. But how?” Her voice trembled with worry and relief mixed together.Clara sat down. “It wasn’t the landlady. It wasn’t Eric. You and I don’t have this kind of money. So who is helping us?”Ava didn’t answer. She didn’t have one.But outside the room, something else was happening.Eric had arrived at the hospital—not to visit Mrs. Harrison, but because he had heard rumors. The landlady h

Eric paced up and down the living room, his eyes narrowing at every small detail. For the past few days, something strange had been happening around the Harrison family. Bills got paid suddenly. Mrs Harrison received proper treatment at the hospital. Clara and Ava walked around with less fear in their eyes.And none of it came from him.He folded his arms and leaned against the wall, watching Clara quietly as she arranged some clothes. She avoided his eyes, acting as if everything was normal.“You’ve been smiling too much lately,” Eric said suddenly.Clara froze for a second. “Why shouldn’t I smile? Mom is better.”“Yes… she is better.” He stepped closer, lowering his voice. “And who paid for that?”Clara swallowed. “God helped us.”Eric let out a cold laugh. “God? Don’t lie to me, Clara. I know you. You can’t hide anything. Someone has been helping this family.”Ava entered the living room slowly, hugging her arms. She sensed tension. “Can we not do this today? Mom is resting.

The security light swept across the hallway again.Ryan held his breath and pressed himself against the dusty cabinet. His heart pounded so loudly that he feared the guards would hear it. He had come to his father’s company with one purpose—to find any hidden document that proved his father was the real owner. Something the killers failed to destroy.But now he was trapped.The security guard at the front entrance had already passed twice, his heavy boots echoing. Ryan could hear the man breathing, hear the static of his walkie-talkie. A second guard joined him.“I heard something inside,” the guard said. “It sounded like metal falling.”Ryan closed his eyes. That metal sound had been his mistake. His sleeve had brushed a loose iron rod on the shelf. The small *clang* had echoed through the whole store room.“Check well,” the second guard said. “No one should be inside. The new owners ordered extra patrols.”Ryan stayed silent. Running was dangerous. Fighting would expose him. And bei

The alarm in Ryan’s head had already gone off the moment the fallen metal hit the floor. He sensed danger even before the footsteps rushed into the old company room. He hid behind a large shelf, breathing slowly, forcing himself to stay calm.The door creaked open.A sharp beam of light cut through the darkness.“Who is there?” a man’s voice barked. His tone was deep, harsh, and full of authority.Ryan stayed silent.The torchlight swung left… then right… then slowly toward the middle of the room. Ryan clenched his fists as the light passed dangerously close to where he crouched.Suddenly, another figure walked in behind the first one.This one wore a dark hoodie and a mask that covered his entire face. The only thing visible were his eyes—cold, calculating, and fixed on the darkness as if he could smell the intruder.“Search everywhere,” the masked man ordered. “No one should be here at this hour.”Ryan’s heart pounded. He had come here hoping to find something—anything—about the doc

Ryan sat on the old wooden chair inside the small hidden house he used as his shelter. The place was quiet, far from town, surrounded by tall trees and silence. His shirt was soaked with sweat and blood. The wound on his arm burned painfully, but he did not stop. He breathed heavily and placed a clean cloth on the injury.He winced. The pain was sharp, but he forced himself to stay calm. He had been through worse. He had slept on cold floors, worked under the sun, endured hunger when running away from danger. Pain did not break him. It only reminded him why he must fight.He cleaned the injury slowly, pressing the cloth against the bleeding skin. The image of the masked man flashed in his mind again and again. The loud sound inside the company building, the sudden attack, the gun pointed at him, and the heavy fight they had in the dark.He closed his eyes tightly.“Who is he?” Ryan whispered to himself.He could still hear the stranger’s footsteps running away into the night. He had t

Eric sat in his small room, staring at his phone like it was the most important thing in the world. For the past three weeks, all he had thought about was Vanessa—the rich, classy girl who lived on the wealthy side of town. She barely knew he existed, but Eric had convinced himself that she was the key to changing his life.He wanted her to see him as someone important… someone with money… someone worth her time.But he had none of those things.That was when the idea entered his head. At first, he ignored it. Then it came back again. And again. Until he could no longer stop himself.“I’ll take a loan,” he whispered. “Just something small… enough to impress her.”The next morning, he dressed in his best clothes, borrowed shoes from a friend, and went straight to a loan agency. The officer asked him twice if he was sure about the amount, and Eric kept nodding confidently, even though fear was tearing his stomach apart.When he walked out, he felt like a king with the money in his p
Chapter 50
Eric stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his shirt for the tenth time. He had borrowed money again—money he knew he could never repay—just to impress Vanessa. The interest on the loan was already rising, yet he didn’t care. All he wanted was to look rich enough for her.He sprayed almost half of the expensive perfume he bought on credit, then practiced his smile. “Perfect,” he muttered. “Tonight, she will finally take me seriously.”Vanessa was rich, elegant, and lived in a part of town Eric had only seen in movies. He didn’t care about her personality. All he saw was wealth, influence, and the chance to level up. If he married her, he believed his life would change overnight.He grabbed the keys of the rented car he was pretending to own and drove off.When he arrived at the fancy restaurant where Vanessa asked to meet him, he stepped out slowly, pretending not to be impressed by the expensive cars around. Inside, he spotted Vanessa immediately. She wore a red gown that screame

Clara stood in the small living room, folding the clothes she had washed earlier. The house was quiet, almost too quiet. Ava had stepped out to buy vegetables, and Mrs Harrison was sleeping peacefully after taking her medicine. For once, the house felt calm.But Clara’s heart was not calm at all.Things were changing, and she didn’t understand how.Who paid the landlady part of the rent? Who covered half of the hospital bills? Who kept helping them from the shadows?She sighed and placed the folded clothes on the table. “I wish I knew who is helping us,” she whispered.At first, she thought Eric finally felt pity, but Eric’s attitude over the past few days proved otherwise. He still insulted them, avoided any responsibility, and kept talking about chasing Vanessa—the rich girl he wanted. There was no way he would suddenly help.Clara sat down slowly, staring at her hands. “If it’s not Eric… then who?”Just then, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned and saw Ava entering
