NARRATORS POV
**********************
The evil that men do lives with them. That was what Caleb thought of his dying maternal grandfather. He was at a crossroads on what to do about him after so many years of rejection from him.
Caleb had only got to know of his grandfather's existence a month ago. The old man was dying and had asked to see him. According to his lawyers that had come with the request, they claimed that he wanted to seek forgiveness and absolution for his sins. However, Caleb had insisted that he was not the person he should ask for forgiveness, but rather his daughter Selena and her boyfriend.
