Chapter 1

The wind was blowing hard, making it very hard to travel on foot.,the howling sound of the clattering roofs. Tthe outpouring of rain, children happily dancing on the street, the thunderbolt that created light on the already dark skies - those were witnessed by the young boy of seven, wet and chilling all over his body, he kept on walking, carrying a small bundle of clothes, not knowing where to go. His small feet were already aching, he had been on the road for a long time, crying his heart out, tears were flowing from his emaciated face. The young boy looked up to the skies and asked desperately, "Where am I to go? Nobody wanted me, hu!...hu!...hu!...How I wished my father didn't leave me!" Only the howling wind and the unceasing rain seemed to hear the plea of the young boy; no one bothered to even look at the sight of the pitiful creature. He trod and trod until he got tired and hungry. Sitting at the bench, he saw a young girl look

 As a young and talented lawyer, Imman made friends with a lot of his clients including Mr. Daniel Ruiz, hotel and restaurant magnate. He even employed him as his family's personal attorney. Impressed by his court trial records, the chairman made known to the lawyer that he wanted to set him up with his own daughter, which, he politely declined, reminding him that personal matters must not be entwined with business matters.     Chairman Ruiz, a sturdy and chubby middle-aged man of fifty-two, who had been balding since two years ago, just laughed every time the lawyer declined his offer of marrying his daughter. He believed that the young man is perfect for his only child and that having him as a son-in-law would help him more in running the company, though, in one of their conversations, the attorney already mentioned that he had come from a poor family and his father was an ex-convict. The chairman, who, on that occasion was a little tipsy, told the lawy
