While the people at the Cliff Mansion were filled with sorrow, it was time for celebration for Malcolm and his family. He was rejoicing at his victory and asked his wife to put on the television to check the progress. The death of the Cliffs was all over the news. Malcolm heard one news anchor say, "…….private jet owned by the Cliff family crashed while enroute to Paris from Chicago. The aircraft exploded as soon as it crashed. The reason for the crash is still unknown, but it is suspected there was some technical glitch in the aircraft. The investigations are on, and we will update you on the progress. Our resources have confirmed that all the passengers on board the flight, including Mr. Trent Cliff, Mrs. Melissa Cliff, their assistant Mr. Will, two pilots, and two crew members, were found dead. Our heartfelt condolences to the family….." Malcolm abruptly gets up from his seat. Looking at his shocked expression, Nancy asks, "What happened?"

Warning: This chapter contains cursing and mature themes such as violence and abuse(physical and domestic) of a minor, which might be triggering. Reader discretion is advised.The following days, the abuse continued and increased as well. Triston's freedom of will was completely taken away. Malcolm instructed Triston to get his permission for whatever he did. Even for small things like having lunch and dinner, he couldn't do it on his own. He was not allowed any food apart from breakfast, lunch, and dinner. One time, when Malcolm was idling off in the living room having his evening tea, Triston tried to sneak into the kitchen to have some snack. Unfortunately, Malcolm saw him and poured the scalding hot tea onto Triston's arm in anger. Triston screamed in pain, but none of the members, including the family and staff, came to his aid. To his dismay, he didn't even have any medicine to apply to his burn, so he just

Evelyn dragged Triston away from the crowd. After they reach an empty hallway, Evelyn suddenly stops and faces Triston. " I am Evelyn, U?" she asks him.Triston was surprised; he just stared at Evelyn as he could still not process what happened a few minutes back. Evelyn raised an eyebrow when Triston realized she had asked his name. "T-Triston... he stuttered.Evelyn smiled at him and said, " Triston, nice name... I am glad I met someone decent at this godawful University. I mean, the University is classy with a big fountain at the front, so many trees, massive buildings, and I heard they have a huge swimming pool too. But the students here...

While she was waiting for him in the class, she heard some commotion outside her class and came out to check. She was horrified when a guy emptied the contents of a coke can on Triston.Evelyn dashed towards them and glared at the guy, and sneered, " Why the f**k did you do that?"" The trash can was too far, so I decided to dump it on him," the guy smirked, and his friends laughed as if it was an achievement." Oh! But I can see the trash right here," Evelyn said. " Let me help you dump it." She took the coke can from the guy and banged it on his head, not too forcefully. " You are the trash here, so next time you don't have to go looking for it."The guy was so dumbfounded he didn't even react, and Evelyn dragged Triston to the washroom to clean up.
