Chapter 105

• AUDREY
• “Come home, Audrey. Dad is waiting for you to come home. He’s dying you know.” Anton stared back at me sincerely. He called me to meet him at the restaurant across the Stark office building. I was hesitating at first, but I was curious about what they had been up to.
• My half-brother had grown thin from the past months I hadn’t seen him. His eyes darkened, his skin had paled, and his voice croak. It was marked in his eyes that he was fatigued after working almost twenty-four seven. According to my source, Linda, our housemaid that didn’t leave, because she had nowhere to go either, Anton and Samuel were working at the vineyard under the new landowner. They had sold all of our properties, except for my mother’s house, and all our money was lost to a bad investment, and of course, Dad gambled.
