The Heir

chapter 2

Maximilian regretted his decision to ask for Griffith’s help because they will never help him. Not in this lifetime, even in the next. Their impression of him for being a loser would never change unless he has millions of dollars inside his pockets. He breathed exasperatedly and looked at each one of them.

“Hush...” he said and kissed her forehead. “I’ll see you at home.” Maximilian smiled sadly before turning his back.

Maximilian was about to get into the car when he heard his wife calling him.

“Max!”

“You should stay.” He cupped her cheek. It was still wet from tears.

“How can I stay there at this rate?” Victoria muttered and sighed.
