""Jaai!!!"" Everyone exclaimed as Jaai walked.

The director still felt glued to the spot after stepping out of the way for Jaai.

Jada was in utmost shock as she stared at Jaai. It would seem as though the whole world had turned into a soft ball that continously spin around her head.

'"What's happening? How's he here?"" Marcus was as stupefied as the rest of the family.

""Didn't you say that he slumped into coma? How can he be here?"" Gerard took his turn.

""Talk to me, Jada! What's happening here? Did you lie to me?!!!"" Elaine was about to lose her mind.

If there was anything that Elaine loathed the most. It was being made a fool of. She could go to the extent of skinning anyone alive.

And now to think that her daughter would do that to her, supported by the director? Elaine didn't know what to think.

""Never mother. I s-swear on my life. I d-didn't lie to you."" Jada stuttered, still feeling the spin in her head.

There were too many things to process for her. The thought of Jaai waking up from coma doesn't only bring a shocking surprise, but also a looming fact!!!

What if Jaai says something about the cheating scandal? Jada was fidgeting at this point.

""Hey, you! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in coma?"" Marcus accused, walking boldly towards Jaai.

He stopped right in front of Jaai, matching up his height.

""You loser. Did you pull a prank on my sister? Did you make a scene to extort money?"" Marcus continually slandered Jaai.

""Step out of my way."" Jaai shoved him to the side and walked towards Elaine.

Everyone was stunned by the strange audacity that Jaai had. From where did he suddenly get it?

In fact, the manner at which he had shoved Marcus to the side was not ordinary. It was a little shove, but Marcus almost fell over his face.

""Mother, I have something to tell you."" Jaai announced as he stood right in front of the matriach, Elaine.

""What!"" Jada and the director suddenly exclaimed in chorus.

All eyes went to them for a moment. Why did they exclaim at the same time? And for what reason?

But no one cared much about that, Jaai was keeping a very hostile aura and demeanor.

Jaai swallowed a lump. He didn't really think this through before running down here, but there was no point in regret. He is here already.

Although Jaai knew that his mother-in-law doesn't approve of him and wanted to dispose of him, yet he knew how much Elaine hated infidelity!

Elaine was the kind of person that would urge her daughter to divorce Jaai instead of ask her to sleep with another man while she was still legally married to Jaai.

Elaine hated infidelity so much that her sons thinks twice before introducing their girlfriends to her. In fact, it was rumored that she killed her husband over infidelity. It was a sort of traumatic inference.

""This little shit!!!"" Marcus got a grip of himself, enraged by the fact that Jaai had the guts to shove him out of the way.

""Come here. Let me teach you some lesson."" Marcus grabbed Jaai from behind and wanted to hit him.

""Get a grip of yourself!!!"" Elaine snapped at her son.

Marcus was fuming, but he had to respect his mother.

""What is this, Jaai? Your wife said that you fell from a staircase and hit your head. She said you were taken to the hospital and that you fell into coma. We were talking about coming to see you after father's birthday party."" Elaine tried to catch her breath.

"How are you here then? What's happening here? Somebody talk to me!!!" She let out a scream, emphasizing how frustrated she was at that moment.

"Yes, talk!" Gerard snapped at him.

Jaai took a second out to look at everyone. He saw the look on Jada's face. It was identical to the look on the Director's. They couldn't hide their fears.

""That can wait. I have something even more shocking to say."" Jaai took steps closer to Elaine.

""Jaai. How about we go outside and talk?"" Jada suddenly hurried to Jaai. She grabbed one of his arms.

When Jaai looked at her, he wasn't seeing his precious anymore. He was seeing a cheater in a white towel. The image of how she was smiling flashed through his mind. The words she said as soon as she opened the door rang in his head again. He gritted his teeth.

He knew why she was acting like this. She wasn't acting like this because she regretted what she did. Instead, she was acting this way because she was scared of what her mother would do to her!

Even in a moment like this when he was hurting, she couldn't help but think only about herself. It cut deeply into Jaai's heart.

Enraged, he snatched his arm from her grasp.

""I caught your daughter, my wife, sleeping with the director!"" Jaai yelled.

When he yelled this, the whole place exploded. Not one person in the foyer didn't exclaim. Only the pitch of the screams set them apart.

""W-what, wh-hat are you talking about?"" Elaine stuttered, her head was itching.

She struggled to find a seat before she would lose her balance.

""Mother. Mother, please do not believe him."" Jada quickly ran to her mother.

""Stay out of my way."" Elaine said softly, but the emphasis was so glaring.

""Jaai. Repeat what you just said. I can't---""

""My wife has been cheating on me with the director."" Jaai repeated firmly.

""Today is our wedding anniversary. I suddenly found out that I was sacked and went to the Director's house to ask why. Only for me to see my wife in a towel, calling the director that she was horny."" Jaai tried to catch his breath.

""Do you know what was more painful?"" He sniffled.

""I walked up the staircase to give the director a pack of condoms! A pack of condoms that he was going to use on own wife!!!"" Jaai chuckled. There was pain in his smile. He didn't want to continue. He didn't think he could do this to himself.

His heart was wrenched. He could feel the confetti of his heart flowing in his canal.

""How did you think I fell from a staircase? Who did you think pushed me?"" Jaai yelled.

Everyone was frozen to shock. All eyes on Jaai. No one in the family had seen him like this before. Not even Elaine after all the humiliation she had subjected him to in the past.

She had made him wash clothes, cook, clean and even slapped him several times. Yet he never yelled out like this.

If he's acting this way, doesn't that mean that this is extreme?

Elaine was lost and confounded. Suddenly, her eyes turned red and she jumped up on her feet,

""Jada!!!"" She yelled her daughter's name.

    This was an impossible situation! The old man only gets up twice! When he walks in, and when he leaves!How in the whole wide world was he on his feet again? For who? The most useless man in the whole extended family?Things must be going wrong. "The potion that he gave grandpa must have bewitched the old man." Someone muttered. This was a very strange situation, and none of the family members knew how to process it let alone accept it for what it was. Even Jaai was as confused and stupefied as the rest of the family. When he had gone to the traditional healer to get the potion, he hadn't thought that it would mean a lot to his grandfather. Although he was quite worried that the potency might be compromised because these herbal doctors can make up stories in order to sell their products. Jaai never imagined that this potion would work so efficiently to the extent that the old man would get up on his feet, walk to him and hug him! As if those gestures were not enough, Old Mr Hull

    There was a standstill in the hall for a moment. The silence was so loud that it almost became defeaning. The entire family of Elaine jumped on their feet. Their eyes bulged at the sockets so hard that it felt like their eyes would pop out of their head. This young man that had just walked in was someone whom they didn't think they would see in a month. How come he is here? "Is that the deadbeat?" Baron whispered, hardly looking at any member of his family. "Elaine's family surely know how to create a scene." Wirtz gritted his teeth. Ever since what Archie cost his family, Wirtz has been looking for a way to lay claim of a scapegoat on whom he would exhaust all his rage. "Why does he look quite different?" Archie muttered, snapping out of his own problems. "Different?" The lady with him wondered. "Yea. Like he's been spending on his skin lately." Archie added, nodding. Jaai stood at the door for a moment. His gaze traversed every corner of the hall. He looked from one family

    Archie was looking like an imbecile who just transmigrated into a new planet. "Speak you fool!!!" Wirtz blarred like a siren. "It wasn't supposed to be like this. I did as told." Archie mumbled. "You did what? Who told you to do what?!" Elaine asked looking concerned. "The pot. I was supposed to hold it to his face for a while. It will help his bones. He will stop getting tired easily..." Archie tried to explain. "For how long?" The caregiver interrupted. "Huh? For how long were you told to hold the pot up?" "Long enough." Archie mumbled. "Get lost!!!" Wirtz barked. Archie felt useless and dejected. He still didn't understand what he did wrong. He dragged his feet away. "Enough." The old man called for order. "Father! We cannot let this slide. This could have gotten worse! We need to punish Archie and his entirely family!!!" Wirtz argued fervently. "Really, Wirtz? And his entire family?" Elaine asked. "Why drag his family into it when it was a mistake?""A mistake? Did you

    "I'll just ask the grandson of the Colonel. The kid is an instructor of any culturally influenced instrument." The old man said. Then, a cough. The old man slowly looked back to Baron. "You've done well, Wirtz Jr. Your father should be proud of you." Following the praise of the old man, Baron felt like a horse was riding within him. He felt on top of the world. There was no doubt. His family will definitely get the favor of the old man. He could walk back to his family with his head in the sky. His father met him with a big smile. There was no limit to chivalry and planning. "I'm very proud of you. Today can't get any better." Wirtz playfully pat Baron on the shoulder. "In fact, I forgive your mother."While they revel in the moment, an activity ensued across the aisle.A certain smell swelled across the hall, influencing the air with something somewhat foul and pleasant at the same time. "What's that smell?""It smells very different. Ancient, you would say?"Archie rose to his

    As soon as he whistled, the door flung open, and five henchmen came running into the hall. Four of the men were carrying a long black box. Each man holding each end of the black box. The fifth man was leading the way. He was making sure that there was no obstruction as the other four ventured through the aisle. The leader of the henchmen walked straight to Baron and Wirtz. He bowed to them, and the four took suit. "Why are you stopping here? Move along." Wirtz snapped at the men. The men quickly picked up themselves and headed straight to the patriarch. "I'll leave my son to do the honor of presenting this gift to you, father." Wirtz said with a full smile, placing his palm on his chest as he bowed. Then he took his seat. All eyes were on Baron and the five men. There were murmurs flying around. "His family loves to make a big show. What the hell." The son of the caregiver grunted as he watched. His wife, a young petite lady, held his hand to help calm his nerves. He took a gl

The patriach, Chairman Hullevard had three sons and one daughter. The daughter is the eldest, but she was accorded the least respect because of her marital life.
