"Seems your plans are going even smoother than we thought," Arturo said as he helped Chris with his bag.
"Yeah, and to think he thinks he is smarter and wiser than me," Chris said."So what do you plan to do now? ""Well I've gotten his signature and whatnot it won't be so hard to pin him where I want him to be pinned, " Chris said as he walked down the hall to his grandfather's study."You sure are smarter than they think you are for sure sir," Arturo said."Well yeah, I didn't graduate with honors for nothing, my common sense was added into that, and trust me this revenge is best served cold and I am loving it," Chris said as he stood his huge frame blocking Arturo the old man."I'd like to have a private word with my grandfather now if you'd excuse me," he said."Very well sir," Arturo said while retreating to where the other guards were."Now there's my grandson, how was your day?" James asked as he took a so of the Kennedy he had in front of him."Are you supposed to be drinking that? " Chris asked looking at his grandfather's hand and then at his face."Ah son, I am just an old man and death isn't far from me so drinking this or not won't lessen or increase the years on earth I've lived we'll" James answered.For a brief moment, Chris's mind flipped between the memories of his dad always with some sort of alcohol when his mother had left."So you said you had something to discuss with me! " James asked."Oh yeah, the site has been completed and is now open to have some workers, I had to make sure all the records from the years my dad handled are still intact to have enough evidence in case something were to come up" he explained."Alright," James responded urging him to continue with his explanations.When their business talks were over Chris got up to leave but was stopped in his tracks by his grandfather."Grandson, hold, won't you like to take a wife? "."No" was the abrupt response given."But son you need a family someone to take over from you when you get tired like me! " James tried to reason with him."I don't need a woman in my life the ones I walk with and have fun with are enough," Chris said."Okay son whatever rocks your boat," his grandfather said, and that way he retired to his bedroom.Numerous phone calls from a certain Sharon he had a fling with.As he was about to go to bed his phone began to ring again it was the same contact that was not saved."Hello""Hey boo I've missed you" the caller began but was stopped."Excuse me who is this? " He asked in a voted tone."Geez you haven't saved my number yet it is.. " (Beep).He cut the call not ready for whoever or whatever it was he wasn't interested.He got his mind on his revenge and that was all that mattered.He knew who it was, it was Sharon and he didn't want to insult her so he decided stopping the call was the best option at this point else she would have ended up crying her lungs out with what he would have said to her.With that said he decided to turn off his phone and go to bed he needed it, especially with all the paperwork he had done during the day he needed to rest.After having to suspend Richard he needed enough rest and a good way to maneuver better._____"How could you hit your wife in public Richard? " Mrs Evans asked her son who was intoxicated and could hardly mutter a word out.George had called his parents immediately the incident happened as he had to rush to follow Liana who ahf been badly hurt by Richard."He's a disgrace, he can't even be like the grandson of James Llewellyn who is making waves with his name," Mr Evans said."Don't compare our son to that man remember Richy said his wife was caught cheating" Mrs Evans tried to make excuses for her son."Excuses, excuses that's how you spoil him" He said to his wife as he looked at his wife and dishevelled son."You are just a liability, even to work for the name of your family you can't " Mr Evans said as he took a walk out of the counter area."I was suspended too" Richard said in his drunken state as he slurred his words even more making his father even more angrier than he could ever be.As they were trying to take Richard home Liana was at the hospital she had gotten a few serious blows to her face by her husband."Ouch that hurts" Liana yelled as the nurses tried to cover up her bruises."You know you shouldn't have done that Liana" Goerge who had saved her form the beatings of her husband said."Who the hell do you think you are to judge me? " she yelled back at him."Well I am the one who had to pay your bills but since you have a loud mouth and can't seem to appreciate what exactly it is that I want to do for you, I'll leave now" Goegre said.Upon hearing that she couldn't be able to able to pay for her bills she tried retracing her words but Goerge was in no mood to condome with her cheating and disrespect."George please I don't have any money on me" she began to beg but Goerge had taken a bend and was out of there."Damn how do I pay for this shit" Liana said under her breath maybe she had to call her friends do ask for help but her phone was not on her."Damn Richard, I lost my phone that bastard had to make me lose my phone and my purse" she grumbled."I'm nurse could you help me some money I refund to you once I get my phone "."I am sorry madam that wont be possible you've got to pay your bills else you won't be going anywhere and you won't receive further treatments " the nurse explained."Damn leave this place you all are evil and wicked " she screamed as the nurse went out to check on other patients."Your bills have been paid Mrs Evans you may leave now " the doctor came in and said then instructed the nurse to finish her dress gs and also to make sure she left the hospital."Who oaid doctor? ' she asked."He chose to be anonymous" the doctor replied and went out if the room.

The Legacy unveiled
Chris stood motionless, his eyes locked onto the man in the doorway—Reddick. "Chris," Reddick's voice was calm, almost soothing. "I've been expecting you."Chris clenched his fists, his gaze flickering between Reddick and his mother, still bound and blindfolded. "Let her go," he demanded, his voice steady despite the turmoil within.Reddick stepped further into the room, the light revealing a face marked by time and secrets. "All in due time," he said. "But first, we need to talk."Chris took a step forward, his instincts screaming at him to act, to fight, to protect. But something in Reddick's demeanor gave him pause—a familiarity, a connection he couldn't quite place."Who are you?" Chris asked, his voice laced with suspicion.Reddick sighed, his eyes reflecting a mixture of sorrow and resolve. "I'm someone who knew your father well. Someone who was once like a brother to him."Chris's heart pounded. "You're lying. My father never mentioned you.""Because he wanted to protect you,"
The burden of truth
Chris stared at the photo for a long moment, the words seared into his mind. “The place you buried the truth.” He felt a rush of memories, places and moments from his past, all connected to his family’s legacy. He gripped the photo tightly, his knuckles white.“Chris, we have to move quickly,” Gabriel said, his voice steady but laced with urgency. “We don’t know how much time we have. If they’ve taken her—”“I know.” Chris’s voice was tight. “I’m not stupid. But what the hell is going on? What do they want from me? From her?”Gabriel exhaled slowly, his gaze shifting toward the hallway as if he were hearing something in the distance, something only he could sense. “I wish I could tell you everything, Chris. But there are things your father kept from both of us. Things that were buried so deep, even I didn’t know they existed until recently.”Chris’s frustration boiled over. “I’m not interested in the past. My mother is gone, and I need to find her. Now.”Gabriel placed a hand on Chris
Shadows of the Past
Chris rushed down the stairs of his office building, every step a drumbeat of anxiety. He hadn’t known his father had a brother—at least, not one still alive. The thought of someone carrying the same bloodline yet remaining hidden all this time left him uneasy. Questions bloomed faster than answers: Where had this man been? Why now? What did he want?At the reception desk, Linda stood frozen behind the counter, her usually calm expression twisted into something between fear and awe.“He’s waiting in the conference room,” she said quietly. “He… he knew your full name before I said anything.”Chris’s brow furrowed. He pushed through the door, heart pounding.There, seated in one of the high-backed leather chairs, was a man in his sixties. Salt-and-pepper hair slicked back, a tailored charcoal-gray suit, and eyes—sharp, calculating, and strangely familiar. He stood when Chris entered.“Cristóbal Alejandro Kingston,” the man said smoothly. “You look just like him.”Chris didn’t respond im
Whispers in the Silence
Chris lay sprawled across his bed, face turned toward the ceiling as the fan above spun in slow, rhythmic circles. He could still feel his mother’s arms wrapped around him—a rare gesture of tenderness that brought back memories of better times, simpler days when the weight of a legacy wasn’t strapped to his shoulders. But now, the burden was his to carry, and he wasn’t sure if he was ready for the miles ahead.His phone buzzed beside him.He ignored it.Another buzz. This time, a call.“Arturo,” he muttered, eyes closed. “He’s probably still trying to drag me out.”The buzzing stopped, only to resume seconds later. Chris groaned and finally answered.“What?”“Boss,” Arturo's voice crackled through the speaker, unusually cautious, “you might want to come down to the office. Now.”Chris rubbed his temple. “Arturo, I’m exhausted. I told you I’m taking a day.”“I know, but it’s not about business,” Arturo continued. “Someone’s been snooping around. And I think they broke into your private

It's okay to grieve!
Two days had passed since Chris's grandfather's passing, and the family found themselves immersed in the sombre task of planning his funeral. Chris, though grieving himself, took on the responsibility of assisting his mother and others in organizing the arrangements. They had no other family since his grandfather when young had run away from home. And had decided to make a name for himself and that was a story Chris wouldn't want to go back to Together, they meticulously chose the venue, selected the readings, and decided on the music that honoured his grandfather's life.His grandfather was somewhat a Gillian but living with him at this point made it great to know that he was loveable, the only thing that had curbed that great heart of his was a story Chris would have loved to hear but his grandfather had just died and that story would be farfetched from him. As they gathered to bid farewell to their beloved patriarch, Chris couldn't shake off the concern he felt for his mother,
