Chapter 79: Andrew is back
"Promise me something, Zane," Agatha said softly, "that you won't leave me again." Zane smiled faintly. Genuine. "I promise, sister," he said with an assuring smile. "Now that I'm here, no one is going to hurt you anymore." He said. Agatha nodded gently, her smile spreading, she pulled him into a hug once more. "I'm sorry too." She said on her shoulder. "I hit you." Zane let out a small laugh. "You don't need to apologize, Sister. I understand." He said. Agatha smiled widely, hands on his shoulder, looking all over him. "You're bigger now. What has Tara been giving you to eat that make you this thick?" Zane laughed. "You're equally looking more older, Sister." Zane said, his smile dropping slightly. "It's about time you stop those hard works and focus on something that'll give you comfort and money. And Rose too. She just received an offer from one of the best schools in the main city. She'll have the chance to participate in an international debate competition. It comes with

Chapter 77: The reunion
Mrs. Coker knocked the door gently, once, and she pushed it, stepping into the room quietly.Agatha sat at the edge of the bed, doing nothing, her expression hardened, arms crossed on her lap.Mrs. Cooker stared at her silently without moving for about two seconds before she walked over and sat closely beside her."Agatha." She called, her voice quiet, the voice of a mother who was about to give late night advice to her beloved daughter. Her voice carried understanding. "I understand your anger. You feel neglected. Your brother had made mistakes in the past, but that's what makes him a human. That is what human beings do. We all make mistakes, pick irrational decisions and regret it later. But that doesn't stop him from being your blood."The words hit something inside of Agatha but she didn't soften yet.Mrs. The Coker held her hand, squeezing it gently. "Listen, most people won't even see their wrong as wrong. But he realized it and came back to make this right. Please, don't kick h
Chapter 76: Over the meal
Everyone settled behind the wooden dining table. Zane and Tara juxtaposed, Agatha sat across from them with Rose beside her while Mrs. cooker sat at the head of the table. The air smell with the Aroma of Chicken and mushroom pasta prepared by Agatha and the sound of cutleries clicking against ceramic plates filled the room."I hope you'll enjoy the meal." Mrs. Cooker said, glancing over at Zane and Tara. "This is the best meal we currently have at home. The village is facing a lot these days. Insecurity and taxmen collecting our little penny is hindering us to get provisions from the main city. Most of the time, we pay them with our agricultural products when we don't have any money."Zane paused his meal, setting the fork against the plate with a faint sharp click. "Taxmen disturb you people here too, despite how local this place is?" He raised a brow. "You people are struggling here, they shouldn't make life harder for you more." He picked the fork and continued to eat. "But th
Chapter 75: Rose is back home
"If you drop that hand on her, " A deep commanding voice came from the back, "I swear it will be the last time you ever use it." Andrew's hand froze in the air. He turned around, standing there, a tall, broad-chested figure loomed over him, his expression carved from steel.Zane Mercer.Flanked at both sides were Tara and Rose."Who the heck are you riffraff!!" Andrew spat, struggling to break free from the iron grip. "Get your hands off me you damn village security!!" Zane held his gaze without blinking."You dare raise your hand at an old woman." He said, voice laced with disappointment. "You're disrespectful. Go on your knee now and beg!" Andrew burst out laughing now. He earlier didn't recognize Zane, his ex brother-in-law."So, it is you, Zane, the most useless dude in the community. Where the hell did you crawl out from you pathetic scumbag. Get your dirty hand off me!"Zane's expression remained cold indifferent. "I said...Knee.""Are you crazy?!" Andrew squealed, trying to
Chapter 74: The Land Waiver agreement
Agatha looked into the paper in her hand in confusion.The heading stared back at her in bold ink. LAND WAIVER AGREEMENT.He raised her head and looked back at Andrew, her ex-husband and Rose's father. Her brow tightened slightly in confusion."Land waiver agreement... Andrew I don't understand?""Cut the crap, Agatha!" Andrew cut her off rudely, spit flying from his alcohol polluted mouth. "The land at Raven ground. Sign it if you want me to help you with Rose's case. Without your signature, I'm not involved." Agatha's Brow knitted in surprise, her voice almost a whisper. "Andrew, Rose is our daughter. We both gave birth to her. How can you say something like this?" She berated quietly, her voice breaking slightly with emotions. "That land is the only inheritance left by my mum. Her grave is on that land. How can you make a materialistic attachment to saving your daughter? Our daughter?" Andrew scoffed, unmoved by the breaking woman. "From the moment you kicked me out of the marri
