Chapter 30 Part 2
MIACHEL'S POVDerek's face was flushed with anger as he watched Robert consider the possibility that I might be telling the truth. His carefully constructed lies were falling apart, and he was growing desperate."Wait!" Derek shouted, holding up his hands dramatically. "Don't let this fraud fool all of you!""Derek, maybe we should just—" Sarah started."No!" Derek interrupted harshly. "I'm not going to let Michael Thompson destroy my family's reputation with his pathetic schemes!"He pulled out his phone with aggressive determination. "I'm going to prove once and for all that this whole thing is fake!""How are you going to do that?" Elena asked hopefully."I'm calling my father right now," Derek declared. "He has direct connections to the mayor's office. He can contact the mayor personally to confirm whether their system was hacked.""That's a brilliant idea," Tina said with obvious relief. "Marcus Manning will get to the bottom of this immediately."Derek was already dialing, his e

MIACHEL'S POVI looked around the room at their panicked, accusatory faces and maintained my calm composure. "Derek is completely wrong. I have no intention of getting any of you arrested by the mayor.""Then explain this impossible situation!" Elena demanded, her voice shrill with anxiety."In fact," I continued steadily, "we'll all be sitting at the highest table at the event. The mayor has specifically reserved the VIP section for our family."The room erupted in mocking laughter once again."The highest table?" Carmen screeched. "Are you completely insane?""You think the mayor is going to treat our family like royalty because of you?" Tina asked incredulously.I ignored their laughter and continued. "I didn't hack anything. This is a direct invitation from the mayor himself. He's already ordered for all of us to be treated as VIP guests at tonight's ceremony."Tina's face turned red with fury. "SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" she screamed. "If the mayor hears the nonsense you're spilling, he'l

Carmen stared at the phone screen, her face frozen in complete shock. Her mouth hung open so wide I thought her jaw might have become unhinged.The confidence and smugness that had been radiating from her just moments before evaporated instantly."What... what is this?" Carmen whispered, her voice barely audible.The entire room fell silent as everyone noticed Carmen's dramatic change in expression. Her wide eyes were fixed on the phone screen in absolute disbelief, as if she was seeing something that couldn't possibly be real."Carmen?" Elena asked nervously. "What's wrong? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"Carmen's hands were trembling as she continued to stare at the screen. "This... this can't be right."Derek stepped closer, his earlier confidence beginning to waver. "What can't be right? Just show us the list so we can put an end to Michael's ridiculous fantasy."But Carmen couldn't speak. She just stood there, frozen in shock, holding the phone like it was a bomb that

Elena's laughter filled the living room like the sound of breaking glass, harsh and grating against my ears. She doubled over, clutching her stomach as if I'd just told the funniest joke she'd ever heard."Someone like you can never even get the opportunity to clean the mayor's shoes," she gasped between fits of laughter, "talk more of getting the chance to speak with him!"The entire family joined in her cruel amusement, their mocking voices creating a chorus of contempt that echoed off the walls."This is the most delusional thing I've ever heard," Robert added, wiping tears from his eyes. "You actually think you spoke to the mayor?"I didn't argue with Elena or defend myself. Instead, I simply said, "The Fletcher family name is now on the list. We've been invited to attend the ceremony tonight, and I was told I could bring my entire family. Everyone should get ready."Derek Manning let out an even louder laugh than Elena had, slapping his knee theatrically. "Michael, do you serious
Chapter 28
Elena was still ranting about the invitation list when the front door burst open with such force that it slammed against the wall. Derek Manning rushed into the house, his face flushed with excitement and superiority."Mrs. Fletcher!" Derek called out breathlessly. "Have you seen the names that the mayor released?"Elena turned toward him with desperate hope. "Derek! Please tell me you have good news.""Well," Derek said with obvious satisfaction, "my family's name is on the list. The Manning family has been invited to the mayor's exclusive ceremony."The room fell silent as his words sank in."But unfortunately," Derek continued, shaking his head with mock sympathy, "the Fletcher family name is nowhere to be found."Elena's face crumpled with disappointment and rage."It's because of the useless son-in-law you have," Derek said, casting a disdainful look in my direction. "If Sarah had married me instead of this worthless peasant, your family name would definitely be on that list.""D
Chapter 27
After Elena's ultimatum, the family dispersed to their respective rooms, leaving the house in tense silence. When Sarah and I reached our guest house, I could feel the weight of her frustration radiating off her like heat from a furnace."I hope you heard what Grandmother said loud and clear," Sarah said, her voice tight with anger and exhaustion."I heard her," I replied calmly, sitting on the edge of the bed."She's given you twenty-four hours, Michael. Twenty-four hours to prove yourself as a worthy son-in-law," Sarah continued, pacing back and forth in our small room. "If you can't do it, I'll have no choice but to divorce you.""Sarah—""I'm tired of defending you all the time!" she exploded, whirling around to face me. "I'm exhausted from constantly making excuses for you, from watching my family tear you apart while I stand there helplessly!""I never asked you to defend me," I said quietly."You didn't have to ask! You're my husband!" Sarah's voice cracked with emotion. "But I
