CHAPTER 27
Clayton stands outside the house looking at the mansion in front of him.
Everything that was owned by his dad was taken away by the government. The only thing the government didn’t take is his maternal grandparents’ house.
The mansion is under his late grandparents’ name and that was why it wasn’t seized by the government. It was huge and beautiful, and that made Freddie and Ivan believe he has lots of money in his pocket.
His mom died years ago, due to bleeding in the intestine. Clayton looked at the mansion in front of him with glassy eyes and sighed.
“I wonder what would have happened if my late grandparents didn’t leave this house in the care of my mom.
Should I just tell the public that I’m Nicholas Aniston’s son? Then it means I will be arrested too, and I won’t have the chance to find the person that frame my dad” Clayton said, sniffling.
An old lady rushed out of the house and wrapped a jacket around Clayton.
“You shouldn’t be out in the cold. What if you get sick?” The old lady said.
Her name is Carolina. She used to a nanny to Clayton’s mom when she was still alive. She takes care of Clayton, even if he has no money to give to her.
Clayton has lived almost all his life in Germany, and only had to come back when his dad was arrested for smuggling drugs.
“What happened to your hands, Clayton? It’s bleeding”
“Don’t worry about me, Nanny, I will be fine. Can I get a hug from you? I badly need it” He said, between tears.
Carolina walked closer to Clayton and hugged him.
“I know you’re having a hard time Miguel, but no matter how long the night takes, there’s always a morning” Carolina said, patting him.
Clayton hugged her back, crying.

THE PEREZ’S MANSION
Freddie had a smile on his face as he carefully rubbed a face cream on his face, while looking at the mirror.
“What are you going to do, Freddie? Your skin keeps getting smooth” He said, grinning.
A knock came on the door, and after he gave entry permission, a maid entered his room.
“Your Mom seeks your presence, Freddie” She said, and Freddie sighed frustratingly.
“Should I have lied that I had lectures today? She won’t give me a breathing space knowing I’m at home today.
Can you go back to her and tell her that you didn’t see me?” Freddie asked, smiling.
“But I’m seeing you right now” The maid said.
“I know you’re seeing me, but I want you to tell her you didn’t see me. You might as well tell her that I am dead” He said, and the maid gave him a mean look.
“Fine I will be there in a few seconds. Your loyalty belongs to my mom anyways” He muttered.
“She wants you downstairs this minute, so you should come with me”
“Can’t you see I’m applying face cream on my face, it takes about an hour before I’d be done. So run along, my face is precious to me and I can’t trade it for anything”
“Should I inform your mom that you’re ready to get sI.apped? You have never being sI.apped by your mom, because you keep doing everything she tells you to do, just to protect that face of yours.
Maybe you’re ready for a slap now, I will just inform her about it” The maid said, trying to leave, but Freddie held her hand.
“Don’t be so grumpy. The reason why you’re still single is because you always manifest a witchy behavior.
I will go to her if that’s what it’s going to take to prevent my face from getting slapped” Freddie said.
