Unworthy Breed
Rebecca’s heart sank deeper into her stomach, almost like it was in search of an escape route.She took a deep breath, listening to the heavy thudding inside her chest.It sounded like betrayal; a lingering feeling of mistreatment. “Ever since he came into this family, everything changed.” She accused Brian, almost lifting her finger to point at him.Her eyes burned with disdain, her teeth grinding against each other.“First, you reduced the amount you gave to my children and me, then you stopped them from taking your cards. Now this?” She snorted, turning to Brian again.“All because of him.” She pointed this time around, her flaming like a bazooka about to release an explosion. Brian looked away at once, but that didn’t stop her from glaring at him.She was consistent with it until she was tired, returning her gaze to her father. “You can’t do this, Dad. You act like Brian is some kind of pacifier who can come to take your sorrows away. You act like the rest of your Gran
Final Decision
It wasn’t long before Lord Ambrose cleared his throat, about to break the silence.“So you are not starting any business…” He remarked, his voice dragged down by disappointment.“You just want to squander all the money on things that are irrelevant.” Rebecca frowned, a sudden wave running through her.“Why would you say that, Dad? How could you think that my son’s education is irrelevant and a waste? He is also your Grandson…” She gave Brian a look that suggested he had accused him of inciting whatever the old man was thinking. Lord Ambrose took a deep breath, his heart heavy as he turned to look at Brian.It almost looked like he was begging him to intervene, but the young man wanted no part of the conversation.Brian just wanted to listen, not even speak, his eyes on the chair in front of him as he prepared to sit. “I called Carl’s school…” Lord Ambrose related, his visage twisted with annoyance. “They said he hasn’t been to school for over four months. They even said t
The Demand
The sight of Brian standing right in her way was the first thing she saw. Apart from the obvious frown that erased the smile on her face, there was also a look of uncertainty. Brian said no words, quietly staring at her as she approached with steady steps, her eyes on the old man. “Rebecca?” Lord Ambrose whispered her name, looking her directly in the eyes.He already knew it, he knew that she must have come for the same reason, and it was a wonder what she wanted at that moment.“I didn’t think you were with anyone, Dad,” Rebecca said with a dark expression, turning to give Brian a vexed look.“Hi. Aunt Rebecca.” Brian waved at her, a smile on his face.She hesitated, not certain of what to do.But since the old man was watching, she knew that silence was not an option.So she took a deep breath, preparing to discard it. “Hello, Brian.” She responded casually, walking past him.Brian chuckled silently, watching her move closer to the old man.Rebecca stood in front of
Mayor’s Request
“You sent for me, Grandpa,” Brian said as soon as he walked into the room, reaching to grab the wooden chair in front of him.He sat down quietly, looking the old man in the eyes. Lord Ambrose took a deep breath, then he sat up, grunting with so much effort.“I am fine…” He said the moment he saw that Brian was about to get up and help him. He finally succeeded, but he needed some time to regain his lost strength. “I wanted us to talk, Brian.”“About what?” Brian asked, his voice low but audible. “The Mayor…” Lord Ambrose cleared his throat, then he grabbed the glass of water on the table beside him.Brian waited, watching patiently while he gulped until nothing was remaining in the glass.The old man sighed heavily, returning the empty glass to the table. “He wants a loan.” He stated, speaking with a lighter tone. “Another one?” Brian retorted, lifting an eyebrow. “Yes. And this time, he wants more.” Lord Ambrose scoffed, then he signaled to one of the guards stand
No More Scoundrels
Arya marched out of the office like a champion who had just defeated her greatest rival. The smile on her face was evergreen, spreading like wildfire. But she had to stop after she had walked past Travis, taking two steps backward with both hands gripped to her purse.Travis didn’t blink while he stared at her. His anger was still hot and steaming, but it was silent. “Hi, brother.” Arya waved at him, then she laughed. The kind of laughter that pierced through the chest, sending waves of mockery into the skin of whoever it was directed at. Travis swallowed hard, and even though Arya didn’t have to say much, he heard a lot. “What games are you playing?” He asked, clenching his right fist.“What silly games are you playing, Arya?! What are you doing here?!’“I am sure you are going to find out soon, Travis.” Arya retorted, taking a step forward.Then she turned to face him properly, looking him directly in the eyes. “I am done working for you guys while you take all t
The Same Man
“Isn’t that the name of Brian’s company?” Don Pedro didn’t exactly direct his question to anyone.His eyes turned from one person to the other, and the light inside them dimmed. “That bastard!” He snarled, then he positioned his gaze to Arya.“I always knew that moron was up to something! I knew it!” He growled, staring deep into Arya’s eyes.“How could you let him do this to us, Arya? Can’t you see that he is just using you? First, he pranked you to get married to him, and now he has taken that which belongs to us, to our family!’His tone was distraught, finally cracked by the weight of the betrayal and anger he felt.Any other person would have had tears well up in their eyes, but certainly not Don Pedro.The old man glared at Arya, even when she looked away.“You are just like your mother!” Don Pedro accused, gnashing his teeth.“You two behaved like love puppies. You let scoundrels into your life and allow them to take what is mine!”His grip was still hard on the wood
