Arianna’s family was falling apart and facing a tragic demise, however, her heart sank when she clearly saw Travis Cooper’s name on the acquisition papers. She had no choice but to negotiate with him.
Arianna lowered her head and relaxed her shoulders to ease the tension. She should show him gratefulness to make him happier, she thought, but she just couldn’t do it.
“How would you be willing to leave my grandfather alone?”
He casually poured her a cup of tea and placed it in front of her before replying, “I think the correct person to ask is the judge, no? The offenders are usually punished. This is a matter of justice, isn’t it?”
Arianna was beginning to grow tired of his mood swings.
“He is old, and his body is failing him. He would not last long in prison.” Arianna continued to try to sway him.
“What can I do? I always admire devoted children.” His voice carried some ridicule, “But I’m not a charity. I only do transactions with interests. What would you do in exchange for the freedom of your grandfather?”
Travis intertwined the fingers of his one hand with the other and rested his hands on his stomach as he leaned back in his chair once more. His expression was a bit lazy, “Since you entered this door, I’ve been waiting for the drama of you selling your body and soul to me in order to save your family member.”
When Arianna didn’t reply, Travis explicitly said, “Maybe I’m just bored. I’d like to try something fun.”
Arianna’s stomach felt like it flipped. She looked at the handsome face that was now showing evil.

When the little sun, looking like an egg yolk, gently jumped out from behind the horizon and reflected on the old man’s face, a bittersweet feeling washed over Arianna. Her face was covered in tears, and she didn’t even know it.


But in a couple of minutes, the sun was hidden behind some black clouds. Everywhere was dark, quiet, and peaceful. There was no sign of a hopeful future.


In fact, according to Dr. Lynch, when the appearance of her grandfather improved, it meant that the destructive effect of the tumor was getting worse. The old man was now no longer violent or explosive. He had never even shown such calmness and grace when he was fully healthy.


Arianna almost missed the situations where her grandfather attempted to attack her several times. Back then, she was just sad, not desperate.
