2023-12-21 13:50:26Struggling to compose himself, Mr. Winchester whispered through sobs, "My son."
Michael's eyes widened, "Your son?"
Mr. Winchester nodded, tears welling up, "I found you. After all these years of searching."
Confusion etched on Michael's face, "I don't understand. Can anyone explain what is going on here?"
A mix of joy and sorrow painted Mr. Winchester's expression, "You're my missing heir."
The weight of those words hung in the air. Michael, caught off guard, sought more answers. "Missing heir? What are you talking about?"
However, Mr. Winchester, overwhelmed by the unexpected reunion, couldn't provide the explanations Michael desperately sought.
The room echoed with revelations, leaving both men entangled in a moment filled with unanswered questions and the raw emotions of an unforeseen family reunion.
In the heart of the emotional revelation, Mr. Winchester, still overwhelmed with joy, began apologizing to Michael repeatedly.
"I'm so sorry, my son," he uttered, his words filled with emotion.
However, the apologies left Michael puzzled, prompting him to question, "Why are you apologizing? What is happening?"
Sensing the need for clarification, Mr. Charles interjected, "Sir, Perhaps, before we proceed, it would be wise to consider a DNA test. Just to be absolutely certain."
Mr. Winchester, though convinced of the connection, faced with the gravity of the situation, hesitated.
"I'm certain he's my son. The birthmark, the resemblance—it can't be a coincidence."
Mr. Charles, advocating for certainty, persisted, "It's a small step to clear any doubts, Mr. Winchester. Let's take the DNA test to be sure."
After moments of contemplation, Mr. Winchester sighed, relenting, "Fine, let's do it. I want to be absolutely sure."
The decision to undergo a DNA test filled the air.
As the decision for a DNA test pended, Mr. Winchester kept quiet, leaving Michael utterly confused. In a jumble of thoughts, Michael mumbled to himself, trying to make sense of the swirling questions in his mind.
"How is this possible?"
He questioned softly, the bewilderment seeping into his voice.
The conflicting narratives of his orphanage upbringing and the sudden revelation of a wealthy father clashed in his mind.
The echoes of the orphanage staff's words resounded—stories of a mother relinquishing him, claiming his father's demise, a tale stamped into his memory. The abrupt revelation of Mr. Winchester as his father created a dissonance, stirring a confusion within him.
"Was I lied to all these years?" Michael pondered, the weight of his past colliding with the unexpected truth.
The DNA results held the promise of clarity, yet the mystery of his identity persisted, leaving him in a state of confusion.
Michael couldn't hold back the flood of questions swirling inside him.
Once the family doctor finished taking the samples and left, Michael turned to Mr. Winchester with a direct gaze.
"Come on, I need some answers. Why did you say the DNA test was just a formality?"
Michael asked, his voice was filled with confusion.
Mr. Winchester sighed, his eyes showing a mix of relief and sadness.
"Michael, I've known all along that you're my son. The DNA test is more of a confirmation for others."
Michael's confusion grew, and he pressed for more details.
"But why? Why did my mom leave me at the orphanage, and why did they say you were dead?"
"Your mom, Mary, and I were engaged. She must have left you at the orphanage because she couldn't handle raising you alone after I disappeared," Mr. Winchester explained, his tone carrying the weight of past regrets.
Michael's eyes widened as he took in this new information.
"Disappeared? What happened?"
Mr. Winchester hesitated, struggling with the painful memories.
"I was falsely accused of a crime I didn't commit. I had to go into hiding to clear my name. I never stopped looking for both of you."
Michael, still processing the truth, shared the version of his past shaped by the orphanage.
"They told me you were dead and that my mom couldn't take care of me. I thought I was on my own."
Mr. Winchester placed a reassuring hand on Michael's shoulder.
"I'm so sorry, Michael. The orphanage lied to you. I've been searching for you and your mom all these years."
Michael, overwhelmed by a mix of emotions, finally grasped the extent of the falsehoods that had shaped his life.
In the heavy silence that followed the revelations, Michael couldn't help but worry about his mother.
Looking into Mr. Winchester's eyes, he asked, "And my mom? Where is she now?"
Mr. Winchester's expression turned somber, and he sighed deeply.
"The day I disappeared was the last day I saw her," he confessed, sadness evident in his eyes.
"Why did you leave her?" Michael inquired, his voice a mix of confusion and pain.
Mr. Winchester explained, "I was wrongly accused, and I had to go into hiding to clear my name. It was the toughest decision of my life, and I regretted leaving her every day. But it was something I had to do."
Still trying to grasp the weight of the truth, Michael questioned, "I had always thought she was an irresponsible mother, and that was why she left me at the orphanage?"
Mr. Winchester shook his head, a deep sense of remorse in his eyes.
"No, Michael. Mary Wayne was the most loving and caring woman I've ever known. Life was tough for her even before we met. Without me, she wouldn't have been able to take care of you. She did what she thought was best for you."
Empathy swelled within Michael as he absorbed the truth about his mother.
"Do you think she's still alive?" he asked, a glimmer of hope in his voice.
Mr. Winchester paused, uncertainty clouding his expression. "I'm not sure, Michael. But if she's out there, I'll find her with my last breath. I promise you."
Micheal breathed heavily, uncertainty in his eyes.

Euphoria
Mr Charles sat in the living room with a bandaged arm, watching the news alongside the Winchesters. The atmosphere in the room was filled with the aroma of relief and excitement. It was just few hours after the incidence at Arturo’s underground lair and their faces were all over the news. Michael made a chuckle as he switched from one news channel to another, their faces on any channel he switched to; the whole world was talking about them.This was not the first time he had appeared on the news but this was the first time he had received so much praised.“This ingrate! I hope he rots behind bars,” Mr Winchester said as the anchorwoman confirmed the arrest of the Chief Justice of the Federation.He was merely one out of the 250 EVA members, which included mostly government officials and other prominent persons in the country that were being arrested at the moment.The whole country was in uproar when the vice president himself was dragged out of the government house in handcuffs by M
Arturo Is Arrested
Michael stood shivering his bones out with blood spilled all over his face and the gun he once pointed against somebody’s head now pointed in the air.To their greatest dismay it was Mr Jones that was shot by Arturo’s men. “Yo-you shot your own man?” Mr Winchester asked in disbelief. He could have instructed them to shoot Michael instead if he wanted, but he chose to order for his own man’s execution. “Yes I did, I was going to kill him anyways. His life ended the moment he let my sister to be killed by you and your men. I did not just expect his death to be this quick, your son false my hand,” Arturo responded coldly.There was no need for the gun in Michael’s hand anymore; his hopes of using the gun to escape died with Mr Jones. Now he must again face what was before him, so he dropped the gun to the ground slowly.“Did you possibly think, I will allow a single man step between me and getting my revenge on you? You underestimated my course, Gareth Winchester!”“When have you becom
Who Get's To Take The First Bullet?
The men reacted differently following the disclosure; Mr Charles and Michael’s jaws dropped and their throats went dry in fear. They could only wish the ground should open up and swallow them. They were startled not because they were standing face to face with the man who led EVA and controlled the whole government officials low-key, but the fact that their security men killed his sister and he was probably there to get his revenge on them.But Mr Winchester was kind of excited rather than shocked like the others were. “Arturo! Is it really you? Oh my God! Look at you! I should have recognized you earlier, you’ve grown to be a carbon copy of your dad. Come on, give me a hug man,” Mr Winchester said ignorantly as he opened his arms towards Arturo only to be pushed away.He was so caught up in the realization that the man was the immediate younger brother to his childhood friend Vincent, that he forgot the man he tried to hug was the one behind all the terrible things happening in their
Conclave Chamber
It was of no use struggling, the men overpowered them and covered their faces so that they did not see where they were been taken.Though the car drove on for only forty minutes, to them it felt like forever. Who wouldn’t feel that way when being taken to the unknown by thugs with your face covered.The car finally halted and the men dragged them out as Mr Charles continued to throw empty threats like he had been doing for the past forty minutes. “You morons! Get your dirty hands of me. Harm a hair on Michael and I promise you will never see the lights of day again”. But it fell on deaf ears, the men continued pushing and dragging them where they wanted to without uttering a word.Finally the thugs stopped, they thought they had arrived the location the thugs were supposed to take them. Suddenly, an electronic beep echoed and they could feel the room descending; they were actually in an elevator.It took several minutes before the elevator reached the ground floor. It was like descen
The slayer
They could not even consider the possibility of Mrs McCoy lying to them about the identity; the Winchester slayer had proved to be wealthy and Influential like they were told about Arturo Adams.Michael was deeply pondered, not for the fact that his dad was a hostage to a drug baron who controls the government but what he might do to him considering the fact that his sister was killed by their security.“What do we do now?” Michael asked his father’s emissary whose legs were already shaking like he had just seen a ghost, anxiety painted all over his face.“Come on Michael, can’t you see the man is almost wetting his pants? The mention of Arturo’s name has taken away his ability to even reason. But let me help you and answer the question for him; the only thing you can do now is return home, pray and hope he doesn’t kill your dad today, but for sure he will definitely kill him not even the almighty could prevent it,” Mrs McCoy said coldly as a wicked smile invaded her face.Mrs clinch
It's Been Alturo All Along
“Do you by any chance happen to know who this Winchester slayer is?” The inspector asked curiously.“No inspector, the Winchester slayer’s real identity still remains a myth to us. But we have come to learn he is not just rich but very influential as well; even the government officials are answerable to him,” Mr Charles said dejectedly.“There are billions of places where he could be holding Mr Winchester. Without knowing who he is, it’s almost impossible to find your boss. Do you at all happens to have any clue of how we might find him?” The inspector asked intriguingly but Mr Charles shook his head slowly.“I think I might know someone who might have a clue of who he is,” Michael said setting the men on their toes. “Mrs McCoy, am sure she knows who this Winchester slayer is,” Michael added.“I will send my men to bring her in for questioning, right now. Don’t worry she will definitely give us the information; even if it requires beating the hell out of her till she vomits it”.“No i
