Chapter 50: "Hi?""It seems the meeting is over, I will take my leave now." Ruben spoke, pulling his chair out as he stood up to leave. Luuk followed suit. "That wench abandoned your child, how do you expect to welcome her into the family?" Ruben’s Uncle flared up in anger, letting his raging emotions get the best of him. He stood up from his seat, pointing his fingers angrily at Ruben. Ruben stopped in his steps. He turned back and chuckled. A savagery smirk laced his lips and his frosty eyes were devoid of warmth. "It seems to me like my authority in this house has long been forgotten." His dead drop tone awoke fear in everyone. Cold sweat laced their foreheads. "You aren't permitted to attend beneficial Family events anymore. Breaching of this order would lead to expulsion from the family tree." "Y-You wouldn't dare!" "Have you forgotten the family's seal resides in my possession? My words are authority. Keep acting up and you will be expelled from the family." Ruben threaten

Chapter 52: " Tess, my inner child feels safe with you…don't leave me.""Err- what? No, get out." Tess's entire face turned tomato red. Ruben laughed at her reaction, teasing her was so much fun. This was what he envisioned a life with her would be like ten years ago. His mind drifted to that day when he heard Tess hated him so much she dumped the low quality gold chain he bought for her on her birthday which was the night Jullian left the country. He wanted to ask about that for so long but he held back. He wasn't one to be easily convinced but the person that told him Tess hated his poor background came with evidence, a voice recording of Tess admitting to hate people from poor backgrounds. That day, his heart sank to the bottom, like the depth of the ocean. Until he personally witnessed Tess disposing his gift like it was garbage. He picked the necklace he worked multiple part time jobs to buy from the trash and walked home, alone, with his heart bleeding, in the rain. Tess's 'pr

chapter 54: "I've traveled to so many beautiful places around the world but no place compares to the space you exist in." Ruben and Tess fell asleep quickly in each other's arms, easily forgetting the twins. Luuk got whiff of the news of Ruben on Tess's room. He prepared dinner for hkmself and Luke but was grumpy throughout, blaming Luke for letting Ruben in. Of course, Luke avoided mentioning the part where Ruben bribed him. He couldn't ascertain he would be safe if Luuk learnt that part of the story. Luuk had recently busied himself. School was out of question as he held several college degrees in the US, collected out of boredom and Tess's persuasion. His uncanny intelligence was kept a top secret for security reasons though the big organizations knew of the emergence of the little genius and protected him, providing him with scholarly gifts to curry favor from him and to win him over to their sides.Luuk was unfazed towards the private or government organizations, he kept all of

Chapter 56: "One bang and you're gone."Luuk's Artificial intelligence prototype went viral when an employee posted a photo of it. The Netizen, especially the females, were very enthusiastic about it. They posted multiple comments on De Vries chat web page asking the official launching of the shopping assistant. "Sunny is about to be my bestie." "When is this feature coming onto my screen? I'll invest in my entire property." "Don't let the fashion influencers see this, we would suffer from oppression." "Sunny is such a befitting name, shedding light on our shopping dilemma." They demanded for the company to give them a reply soon. The Netizen were the only ones enthusiastic about sunny, the artificial intelligence shopping assistant, other business owners especially the shopping apps and rich conglomerates wanted it for themselves. Fashion influencers and celebrities took to their social media accounts to show their interest and support in the viral shopping assistant. De Vrie

Chapter 58: "Do you still want to see my face?"As they were huge in number and up against only one prey, Ruben used it to his advantage, they couldn't attack him at once so they came in pairs. Growing up, he had followed military training to build strength and his martial arts skills so taking on three men at once wasn't so difficult. One scrawny guy and two heavily built men approached Ruben, waving their weapons at him. Ruben acted fast, he slammed his elbow on the scrawny guy's face, his hard rock muscle sending the latter a few steps back, to the ground, wincing in pain.In the same moment, one of them took the advantage to slice Ruben but he cut through thin air. Ruben had seen through his attack from the corner of his eyes. He shuffled two steps backward, evading the first enemy's attack and delivering a fatal blow to the second enemy's gut. He grabbed the metal bar from the fallen enemy and whacked the last standing burly man among the trios. Ruben was very versed with human
