Murder

The atmosphere of the magnificent house is like a palace with the fifth floor being decorated by several workers with fresh flowers, adding to the beauty of the living room on the ground floor.

At the Skyler family's house, where today the host's birthday event will be held and several relatives and business partners are invited, it seems that everyone is busy with their respective duties.

Moreover, today is the most important time and you have to show your best. In fact, not only is the decoration beautiful, but all the furniture that decorated the room was replaced with new ones and something very striking can be seen in the corner on the right, namely an antique urn that was imported directly from China and has a fantastic price.

However, the atmosphere on the very busy ground floor was much different from what was seen in one of the rooms of a young man aged around 22 years who was currently in front of a laptop.

The man, none other than Christian Skyler, is the youngest child in the family. However, he was just a child resulting from his father affair with mother which ultimately resulted in him being born into a world full of hypocrisy.

He was hated by the first wife and eldest son in the Skyler family, to the point that was isolated and spent more time in the room like today. He stayed in the house because of his father love and mother pleas, even though heart wanted to rebel and leave there.

Christian Skyler, who is now focusing on his college assignments because today is a holiday in honor of his father birthday, saw the door open and mother, who usually greeted him in the morning with a smile as bright as the sun.

"Honey, don't you intend to come down to see how busy the servants are preparing for your daddy's birthday?" asked a woman named Agatha Calestia who was carrying a tray containing sandwiches and chocolate milk for the breakfast menu of her son who was reluctant to go out today.

Before she had breakfast with and served her husband who had a stroke this year and had to sit in a wheelchair, took the time to take care of beloved son who always made feel guilty for being the cause of flesh and blood's unhappiness.

Christian now just shook his head because he felt so sick of being amidst the fakeness in the house. Especially if you have to meet a brother who never likes him, like he's just trash in the house.

"I have to complete an assignment from the lecturer, Mom. Oh yes, Daddy will be very happy today and will get lots of expensive gifts from everyone. Meanwhile, I only bought this," said Christian, who was now taking a medium-sized box watch from the drawer.

He is not like his brother who already works in a company and definitely has a lot of money. Meanwhile he was still studying in his final semester and was collecting money to buy the latest watch from a famous brand which probably wouldn't mean anything in everyone's eyes.

Agatha Calestia, who was now standing near the table, could see the watch which was in the box and had just been opened by her son. "That's great, darling. Your daddy will definitely like it a lot. Do you want to give it to him now? Be the first to wish Daddy a happy birthday and present."

Christian, who had intended to give gifts in hand at the event and of course together with the others, now suddenly fell silent and confirmed his mother idea. In fact, his face suddenly lit up when imagined that father, who had to spend time in a wheelchair, would be happy when he was the first person to give him a birthday present.

Reflexively he immediately stood up and didn't waste any time. In fact, now he has rushed to hug the woman who gave birth to him tightly. "Thank you, Mom. Mommy's idea is very brilliant. I'm sure Daddy will be happy because his youngest son gave him a gift bought from collecting pocket money."

Then he let go of the hug and saw the sweet smile of his mother who was now patting his shoulder.

"Go to your daddy's room. He'll be down for breakfast in a minute and you don't have much time." Agatha Calestia now felt relieved when she saw her son previously gloomy expression turn bright and enthusiastic.

"Ready, Mom." Christian kissed his mother cheek before finally walking his long legs towards the exit, carrying the box containing the watch.

"I hope Daddy likes my gift," said Christian, who now stopped walking as soon as he arrived in front of his father room.

He now knocks on the door before entering. "Dad. Can I come in?"

Christian, who was still silent in front of the golden door, was still waiting for an answer from inside. However, several seconds passed, still no answer.

'Is Daddy not in the room because he's already downstairs?' muttered Christian, who was now considering what he should do.

He frowned and finally chose to open the doorknob because thought that his father was still sleeping. However, immediately widened his eyes at what he saw. Even at the same time covering his mouth with a heart that felt like it was going to explode at that moment when he saw something very scary.

"Brother?" whispered Christian, who immediately took a step back when he saw the brother who had always hated him holding a pillow over his father face who was lying on his back on the king size bed.

"Brother killed daddy?" Even saying things that make the hairs on the back of one's neck bristle because of a son evil actions towards his father really succeeds in evoking fear and anger. "Is Brother crazy?"

Meanwhile, the figure of a man with a tall, sturdy body and a proportional body, who has now removed his hand from the pillow used to end his father life because he managed to incite anger and make him angry, is now just grinning.

The man named Winston Skyler suddenly got an idea in his head when he saw the brother wanted to get rid of so wouldn't get any wealth.

"No, I wasn't the one who killed daddy, but you!" said Winston Skyler who immediately shouted very loudly to make everyone come to his father room.

"You murderer! Help! There is a murderer who made Daddy die!" shouted Winston Skyler, who was now trying to squeeze out tears to make his acting convincing.

In fact, he also quickly walked towards the brother really wanted to get rid of and immediately aimed a punch at the left side of his face. "You murderer! Are you after this family's treasure, so much so that you have the heart to kill daddy?"
