THE HUMBLE HOME (FIFTY SEVEN)
Last Updated:
2023-09-22 11:25:44The house with a steaming chimney is on the side of a slightly uphill mountain road. Standing alone on the side of the main road, the building is simple. Dominated by red and wood colors that will be very striking when winter arrives, the house exudes a distinctive aura that always makes people who pass by it tingle stop by. Rows of tall and dense pine forests are right behind the house, giving a natural impression that is so beautiful to anyone who crosses the red house.
When winter comes, the house will start to look inhabited. The chimney emitting light smoke for seven days and twenty-four hours is clear evidence that the house has been inhabited all this time. It had been a long time since the house had lost its hue. Since one of his family members was forcibly dragged from home and thrown into prison to defend someone who experienced a terrible immoral act.
The law is indeed unfair to anyone who is poor and has no share in governing the world. They can only hope

"Are you sure you don't want to go anywhere on Christmas Eve?" Amber shook her head as she curled up in the blanket on the sofa. Both of her hands were hugging a cup of hot chocolate whose steam was still thinly steaming in the fairly cold air. It feels boring if you just spend Christmas at home with a chatty lover. But what can she do? Harper is unavailable today. This morning Harper had told her she wouldn't be home today. She will celebrate Christmas with her family. And she also said that last night Alex called her and planned to come this afternoon. So yeah... her best friend must be very busy this Christmas. There are two men at once who enter into her life.

It was nine o'clock, the atmosphere in the cabin was quieter. The voices of children screaming— Mark and Heidi were no longer there. They had just fallen asleep from exhaustion, fullness, and also the cold outside. They were lulled by the warmth of the fire from the wood Mickey had cut this afternoon so they fell asleep soundly in their respective beds upstairs. While the kids were already asleep, Harper had just come downstairs after finally getting Leo to sleep who had been fussing a while ago. Adjusting to a new place and a new atmosphere is indeed a hassle. The baby kept whimpering as the day grew darker and colder. Mickey was worried to see Leo fussing, afraid that the baby might catch a fever or get sick due to the more extremely cold temperatures in the area where he lived. But Harper reassured him that Leo was always fussy when it came to new places that were unfamiliar to him. So there is absolutely nothing to worry about from the sudden vacation. They were all basically ver

"What's wrong James?""Am I bothering you, boss?""No."Alex massaged his tired eye sockets. He had just returned from New Brunswick this afternoon. And now he is studying some new contracts from his business partners who will cooperate with him. He was really tired, but James couldn't have contacted him if it wasn't really important."I was afraid to disturb you, it's still in the Christmas day.""What's up James, just say it."The sound of sighs and stomping music could be heard on the other side. "Someone is looking for you. Bennedict Morton.""Why is he looking for me?"Just hearing his name mentioned, Alex honestly already felt lazy. Their last conversation went very hard. And if Bennedict Morton came looking for him at the club right now, it would be because he wanted to scold him like a child caught stealing candy. Yesterday he had kidnapped his niece!"He doesn’t tell me the reason, but he insists on meetin

“Aunt Martha!” When she saw her aunt standing anxiously in front of the operating door, Harper rushed to her aunt and rammed her body against Martha's aunt who looked as fragile as thin ice. The woman's wrinkled face was puffy and filled with worry. While her own hands seemed to tremble a few times as she tried to grab Harper's shoulders so she wouldn't cry out loud. "How's Uncle Ben doing?" “Doctors are still performing surgery. The stab wound was quite deep, hitting his kidney." “Oh God. I’m so sorry, Aunt Martha.” Aunt Martha burst into tears. The old woman was unable to continue her words to Harper and instead sobbed until her old body slumped to the floor pitifully. Harper who saw her aunt slumped on the floor could not do much to reach her body. Both of her hands were currently holding Leo. She was as sad as Aunt Martha, so all she could do now was crouch in front of her while trying to rub her trembling back. “Uncle Ben must be strong. He will survive.” "Harper!" Amber

One day after Christmas. Winskie looked at his living room which was filled with several of his relatives and grandchildren. They all made a lot of noise two nights ago for celebrating Christmas which has become a tradition in the main house. Whereas in the past it was a tradition made by his late wife. He thought, after his wife died two years ago, his children and ten grandchildren would no longer come to his house for Christmas. But this year's Christmas they still came with screams that he hated so much. He had never liked children. They were all noisy little creatures who liked to cause trouble. If it weren't for his wife's desperate desire for children, he probably wouldn't have had three children from his marriage to his wife. But then he saw the need to have children as heirs to continue his bloodline and business. But again his plan did not go well. Her first child, Marina Winskie, works as a designer and has her own boutique in New York. Marina is married to a coal entrepre

Sarah couldn't stop complaining at this point. When she entered the office, suddenly the lobby was filled with dozens of paparazzi. Her face, which was partially covered by a thick dark brown scarf, suddenly became the target of paparazzi cameras that almost blinded her eyes. Her vocal cords were nearly severed when she used them to yell at journalists who were trying to get in her way. There was even a reporter with fire-red hair tugging at the hem of her coat, intending to hold her for a while for the interview session. Fortunately, before the brutality escalated further, the security guard in her office, Erick Robinson, pulled her in as the glass door in front of her opened with a swift motion and then closed in one swift thrust. “Oh God, will you marry me, Erick? You saved my life!” Sarah breathed a sigh of relief as she took off her unkempt coat and scarf. “What the hell are they doing there? Why didn't anyone throw them away?" "You haven't seen the news?" "What news? Oh than

Exactly as they promised. Thirty minutes after Zack handed over a change of clothes and toiletries, the team of investigators started to come for an interrogation session. The team was led by Tyler. This morning he looked as bright as the morning sun with lines of exhaustion printed on his face. But that didn't dampen Tyler's enthusiasm for interrogating Alex because he had been waiting for a moment like this for a long time. The moment when Alex got into trouble and there was no room for him to dodge. “Alright, let's just start this interrogation session. I'll introduce you to my comrades, Matthew and Andrew." None of them greet each other. Only a sharp look appeared in Alex's eyes as he looked at Matthew and Andrew alternately. The rest, he remained silent and put on a stiff face in front of the others. Feeling that Alex wasn't going to say anything, Zack took over the conversation with a brief introduction that seemed like a mere formality. "Last n

Tom spent five minutes on the thick snowy streets carrying a large, heavy-looking box in his hands. The streets around him were very quiet. It's an old village on the outskirts of Ottawa where most of the residents are retirees and lonely old people after their children grow up. Practically in this cold season, they choose to stay indoors or some of them may be going to spend Christmas with their grandchildren at their beloved children's house. One of the houses with an ancient model and a red chimney like Santa's house in a children's fairy tale is seen emitting a bright light from within. White smoke rising from the chimney confirmed that the house was currently inhabited. In contrast to the other, gloomy-looking houses next to it, this house looks so striking because all the lights in the house are lit very brightly. Even at this time of day, the owner of the house turns on the porch light and also the street lamp near the fence to make the atmosphere in the house look mo

The event was very lively. Decorated with beautiful flowers that were handpicked by the bride, the party was truly a dream party for the bride who had long dreamed of a fairy tale wedding party filled with beautiful flowers. At the altar, a man wore a black tuxedo, a snug bow tie around his neck, and shiny new shoes on his feet, the man waits for the bride with a feeling of extreme nervousness that is so annoying.

He glanced at his phone screen and then looked at the snow in his small yard in the remote village of Newbury. Since yesterday he had known that his leisure time was over. Today he will soon end all this ridiculous charade to face a world that has never been on his side. "I've been waiting for your coming." Tom didn't turn around at all. His eyes were still glued to the white snow that was slowly starting to be illuminated by the sunlight. He wasn't in Hawaii at all. He's still in Canada. In a very remote village in Newbury. "The police will be here soon.” "Yes I know. Congratulations on tracking me down, Mr. Alexander Enzo. I don't think what people say about your prowess is anything but nonsense. Sorry for involving you in my game.” "Damn it! You almost killed a poor old man and you tricked a greedy man."

The clock still showed three in the morning, but the atmosphere at the police station was as busy as the activities carried out at nine in the morning. The officers who had just arrived from the field brought various kinds of evidence that could be used to build the case. They took several bags containing evidence from Chase's house. The items were arranged on a special table in the interrogation room. The 9mm caliber pistol that Harper once held was also among the items confiscated by police to investigate the case involving Alex and Chase.A police officer with sleepy eyes kept yawning repeatedly as he placed the evidence on the table. A USB and a small pen that looked unremarkable were placed there carefully after Zack came to hand it all over to them."Don't let anything be missed."Tyler patted the sleepy cop on the shoulder. He grumbled near Tyler because he had just been woken up when he was sound asleep in his house.“I even just slept two hours ago.”"Don't complain too much,

He had just turned off his bedroom light and was about to walk towards his bed when a strange sound crackled near his ear followed by the cold sensation he got on his temples from an object he knew very well what it was. He frantically tried to run to the light switch to illuminate his dark room so he could at least see the face of the intruder who had presumptuously disturbed his composure. But his footsteps had been blocked by that person so he immediately fell on the cold floor while enduring pain in the knee that landed first on the floor. "Who are you? What were you doing sneaking into my house?” "What do you think I'll do, Chase?" "Alex?" Chase winced in the darkness as he rubbed his bruised knee repeatedly. Knowing that Alex had come to his house, the feeling of anxiety gradually lessened a bit. But he simply couldn't ignore the fact that a few seconds ago Alex had been pointing him with a gun. “What are you doing in my house? The police are looking for you out there." “F

Across the dark hospital garden, they continued to run without stopping and trying to keep their balance in the snow which now seemed to be difficult for them. Several times Harper nearly tripped if Alex didn't hold her hand tightly, then they both jumped over the half-foot-tall bushes in the garden behind the hospital that separated it from the sidewalk that connected the street to another block."Are they still after us?"Harper panted repeatedly. Her lungs felt like they were going to explode, her legs would probably protest if they had a mouth to speak because her legs were sore right now after being used to running from the fifth floor of the hospital building."I don’t think so. Come on. Can you still walk?”Harper nodded weakly and started limping next to Alex. They had to pick up their car which was parked in a bar three blocks from where they were currently walking.When Alex stopped the car there, she was surprised at him because they left the car in a place that was quite o

For a long time, he stood there doing nothing. Maybe five minutes. Or more. He didn't know exactly when he had left the deserted hospital hallway to enter Brielle's noisy treatment room. The sound of the cardiograph showing the steady rhythm of Brielle's heartbeat relieved him a bit. Only a bit. The rest he was more worried when he saw Brielle's plump body which usually always radiated a healthy brown hue, now turned pale and wrinkled. Brielle's skin looked unwell under the needles that poked her here and there. “Brielle...” Alex muttered under his breath with broken feelings. He had never seen Brielle this frail. His Brielle who always laughs loudly, his Brielle who loves to cook delicious food for him, his Brielle who is always there for him. As he touched Brielle's hand which was drooping weakly at her side, it felt cold. Alex gripped her hand tightly, feeling the roughness of it because it was always used to work in the kitchen. He wanted to see Brielle in his kitchen again, no

He was enjoying classical music and a cup of fragrant hot coffee when his doorbell was rung roughly several times. Frowning his brows in annoyance, the man quickly tightened his sleeping robes and walked a little hastily to the front door to yell at anyone who had disturbed his quiet time. He thought the person who rang the bell at his house had gone completely insane. It's even a few minutes past ten. It's time for everyone to rest well. But the people out there seem to be crazies who don't know the code of ethics. "What the—" His words stopped in midair when he saw who the intruder had been playing with his doorbell. "Looks like I'm interrupting your bed time." "Very. You're not the person I expected to come tonight." “What kind of lawyer can stay relaxed when his client is being wanted by the police for running away.” Tyler said skeptically. He looked at Zack's body from head to toe which clearly showed that the man was ready to sleep. "It's a tough day. I didn't want to burde

Coming out of Harper's quiet residence, Chase didn't drive home right away. Instead of taking the route to his house, Chase turned the wheel toward Alex's office. There was something he had to do tonight to make his life calm again. Today he failed to pick up what he should have taken from Alex's office. For three hours he was stuck with people with thick glasses in the audit room on the fifth floor. Many times he made excuses to get up to Alex's room on the tenth floor, but time and time again he failed. Jordan Brasco, the smart-ass attorney keeps blocking him from going up to Alex's room by giving him a series of tasks that he shouldn't have to do. “Oh come on, why do they keep tinkering with Alex's wealth if the ten million dollars that Winksie sent to Alex's account have been withdrawn? They won't find anything at all until they ask Alex about it,” Chase monologued with himself. He was very upset about everything that happened to him today. But the problem is, Alex has disappear
