THE HEIR'S VENDETTA

Alphonse faltered on his feet, his ears ringing clear, while his eyes bulged out of their sockets, his eyes darted around the room and he could see the various looks of indifference and disgust in their faces, he gulped loudly before finding his voice once more, his mouth slackening while he spoke, “Sir?!” Lady Magaret gave a long hiss while glowering at him, “What is it that you do not understand fool?! You're nothing but a servant in this home as you do not contribute anything, you feed and clothe from us, and that makes you a servant!” She huffed and then a frown etched her face before she rolled her eyes and continued, “What am I even saying?! A servant is way better than you are, at least a servant contributes to the home, but you do absolutely NOTHING!!!” She shrieked at Alphonse, while still glaring at him, and Alphonse could see the pure hatred emitting from her eyes, a part of him wanted to cower but he didn't, but his body unconsciously flinched, and he shut his eyes br

Alphonse closed his eyes tightly, he could feel her cold breath on him and could do nothing but move back, he could feel the tears brimming in his eyes, even as his throat burned, His mother-in-law continued her subtle threats in his ears while sneering at him, he subtly opened his eyes and was disappointed to see the same hateful look in her eyes.“Sooner or later we’re going to throw you and your miserly belongings out the door to the streets where my precious picked your worthless self up from!” She paused, as though she was trying to catch her breath before she went on,“You're nothing but an absolute fool who keeps taking advantage of my daughter's kindness, but all of that is going to end soon!”Alphonse couldn't help but notice the knowing smirk and glint in her eyes with what she had uttered, knowing he could not get any answer from her, Alphonse hunched his shoulders and drooped his head to his chin. Lady Margaret had stepped back a little and was now glaring at him, daring

The next morning, Alphonse awoke with a heavy heart. After the humiliating events of the previous night, he barely slept. As the sun rose over the city, he knew what he had to do; return home and confront his so-called family. He walked slowly through the streets, dreading what was to come. As he approached the grand house that was once his home, he stopped to steal himself, taking a deep breath, he marched up the front steps and knocked firmly on the large wooden door. Moments later, the door swung open to reveal Vivian, Her lips curled into a sneer at the sight of Alphonse,"What do you want?" she spat. Behind her, the rest of the Robinson family had gathered in the foyer. Margaret stood with her arms crossed, glaring at Alphonse. Tyler leaned casually against the bannister, a smug grin on his face. Sophia stood beside her new boyfriend, both looking at Alphonse with disdain. Alphonse clenched his fists, trying to keep his composure,"I've come to speak with you, Vivian. Alone

Alphonse had hoped for fairness, perhaps a chance to tell his side of the story, but reality had other plans."But I didn't—" he began, his voice tinged with desperation, trying to find some understanding in the manager's eyes, but the manager simply raised a hand, cutting him off."The decision is final," the manager stated, a note of regret in his tone that did little to soften the blow, "You need to leave now."At a nearby table, Vivian and Geoffrey shared a look of victory, their scheme having worked flawlessly. The other customers started murmuring, their voices a mix of sympathy, judgement, and indifference."Can you believe that?" whispered one customer to another,"Thrown out just like that.""I heard he was causing trouble," someone else chimed in, eager to spread the rumor.A woman shook her head, whispering to her companion, "Seems harsh. Didn't even let him explain."And from a corner, a man muttered to his friend, "Drama's always good for business, eh? Makes the day g

Stepping out of the room together, Peter guided a lost Alphonse to a corner, assuring him that all would be fine."Your mother is brave. You don't have to be worried about her condition. She'll be alright.""Hmm, " Alphonse responded, looking back at the room his mother was in.His head was still welled with the sudden revelation of his identity, leaving him wondering where he has to start from on what to do next.As if Peter Understood his thoughts, he placed his hand on Alphonse's shoulder, gaining the young man's attention back on him. When he looked at Peter..."It's time for you to claim what is rightfully yours, Alphonse. Do come with me and sign on the necessary documents. It's important they are attended to now, " Peter suggested.This felt like a dream to the young man."So, once I sign the papers everything will be..." He paused, trying to accept his new life that's about to change."Yes, everything will be in your name from now onwards. You're your father's heir after all,
