Autor: Lil' Falafel
Flora had become twisted after years on the streets.

She did not want anyone to know about her unfortunate past. Unfortunately, I had the front row seat when she was at her lowest. So, she had no choice but to marry me. Once she brought me home, she figured that could shut me up and torment me.

Flora had despised me long ago. She was going to hire assassins to tie up the loose ends, me.

    The Wayne family didn't keep us waiting for long as the car meant for Richard arrived 30 minutes later.Richard immediately let out a shrill shriek when he spotted familiar faces.However, they quickly silenced him by clamping a wad of cloth over his mouth before tossing him into the back seat.The door slammed shut with a loud bang, and Richard's screams faded into the distance.I didn't even bother sparing them another glance as I left the church in another car.I later uploaded a surveillance camera recording online, showcasing just how Amelie and Theo had abandoned me back then.The matron of the orphanage also defended me in public, saying, "We found Hank 20 years ago. He has always been a hard worker and the Lane family only sought him out after his college entrance exam results were announced. "After that, Mr. and Mrs. Lane even threatened me to keep my mouth shut about their crimes. They said they would report me for child abuse if I breathed a word about it. I've alway

    I texted Jenna on my way home, informing her that I was safe and sound.She soon replied with a voice message, saying, "It's good that you're alright."Her voice was so warm and steady that my heart finally eased.I arrived at the airport 30 minutes later.There was still one more person I had to meet.The black-robed pastors were singing in harmony in a church.I scanned the group from afar and soon noticed a familiar figure."Richard, I've finally found you."The man in the corner froze before sprinting away.The two bodyguards beside me charged ahead, swiftly pinning Richard down.Then, I pulled out a copy of his warrant and handed it over to a pastor.He read the document carefully with wide eyes. Then, he nodded at me and led the other pastors away.Richard, who was forced to his knees, slowly raised his head and cursed me out, "You stupid fool! Why are you still alive?"I sat down on the chair before him and took my time responding. "What beautiful mountain ranges an

    Theo was on the phone, speaking in a voice filled with concern. "Don't worry, son. Just rest and recover overseas. I've already spread the news about Hank kidnapping you. Your mom and I have everything ready. We'll feed it to him once he wakes up."The fear that I'd been reining in crashed into me like a tsunami. I knew the bottle of pesticide before me better than anything else.They were going to feed me the same thing that had killed me in my last life.My feet accidentally thudded against a nearby stick in my fright.Amelie turned to look. When she found me awake, her lips stretched into a nasty smile as she approached me with a cup of water in hand."You're awake so soon, my son. Good. It's almost time. Drink up."She tore away the tape covering my mouth and gripped my jaw. I struggled against her grip, causing the cup to fall to the ground."Why? Why are you doing this to me?"She became enraged at my unwillingness to cooperate. So, she grabbed the stick and swung it agai

    I was invited to the company's annual gala due to my contributions. Jenna patted me on the shoulder with clear admiration in her voice. "You've done well with the RuTech project, Hank. I was worried you wouldn't be able to keep up with the team. I didn't expect you to do so well!"I smiled and clinked my glass against hers. "You flatter me. I'll forever be grateful for your help. I have no idea whether I'd be this successful if it weren't for your help."Jenna smiled in satisfaction before veering off to discuss the next year's business trip with the other executives.The server by the hall's entrance approached me right after she left me to my own devices. "Excuse me, there's a man at the door who wishes to see you. He's been waiting for a while."I was confused as I wasn't expecting anyone. Still, I put my glass down and followed the server out of the hall.I pushed open the doors to find Richard standing right outside.I scanned him up and down with disbelief. His eyes were

    Theo and Amelie awkwardly smiled in response and hastily changed the topic.Jenna only stayed for a few minutes before leaving.Not long after that, Richard approached me with a glass of wine in hand."I've underestimated you, Hank. You managed to latch onto someone like Jenna so quickly."I had no intention of getting into a squabble with him. "Happy birthday, Richard. It's getting late, and I should head home."He darted forward and grabbed my arm."None of that matters, you hear me? You've seen it yourself, haven't you? It doesn't matter what you do because I will always be our parents' beloved son! You'll forever be the useless loser in their eyes!"His grip around my arm tightened, and I could feel my bones creaking in protest. I became annoyed with him and shrugged him off with a scowl.I didn't expect him to use the momentum and fall backward.Amelie immediately noticed the commotion and frantically ran over."What's going on?" she exclaimed.Richard placed his hand o
