Chapter One: Sour Goodbye.“ Sssshhh” Ruben sucked in cold air in an attempt to ease the splitting headache threatening to tear his head apart. “Mr Ruben, you have come a long way from being Mr Janssen’s lackey. This is wonderful. I heard your app hit five million downloads within a few hours of its launch.” A crooked politician approached Ruben.“Mmh, thanks. Excuse me.” Ruben took the quickest route to the elevator.“That rude bastard, being the biggest entrepreneur in the Netherlands, must have gotten to his head.” The politician spat on the floor and walked along.The elevator stopped at the highest floor of the world-class hotel. With unstable hands, Ruben searched his pockets hurriedly for his room key card, urging himself to be quick to avoid the nosy reporters capturing him in his current state.Someone had drugged him. Ruben De Vries gritted his teeth at the thought of whoever dared to drug him, the tyrant of the tech industry. They must have lived a thousand lives to gather

Chapter 3: let go of mummy‘‘I believe we have something to discuss, Miss Janssen’’ Ruben's eyes burned as he watched Tess’s nonchalant countenance, stressing the ‘Miss’ in hopes to get a reaction but she didn't crack. ‘‘Sure Mr Ruben.” Tess laughed. The rest of the people in the room didn't notice anything wrong, they thought of it as normal interaction between an employer and his employee. Ruben dragged Tess all the way to his office, meanwhile a little figure wearing a black hoodie with his face half covered watched all these play out quietly in a corner. As soon as he saw Ruben, a tinge of surprise flashed past his eyes, “ This must be my father.” Luuk thought. The weird interaction between his parents didn't escape his sharp eyes. ‘‘Father is hurting mother, that's not manly.”Ruben shut the door behind them, his eyes brimming in anger as he turned to Tess ‘‘what's the meaning of all these? Why are you here? A lawyer? You?”“ One question at a time, Mr Ruben, I can't keep up w

Chapter 5 : "Are you Luke's friend?" “Ok, I will see you tomorrow. '' Luuk hid his inner excitement. A part of him was very happy Luke wanted to stay with Tess so desperately that he agreed instantly when he proposed the idea. Knowing Luke wouldn't back off from the plan, Luuk was rest assured he didn't have to contort a plan to convince him. “Okay! My regards to mother.” Luke replied excitedly. In his mind he already drafted a plan on the joyous days he will spend with his mother. He packed his personal credit card in a wallet and placed an order for a cloth he and Luke had agreed to wear to avoid suspicion. He begged Luke for a photo of mother but the irresponsible lad didn't have a single photo of their mother. Luke's eyes twitched with anger from the recollection. “ If I was the one living with mother, I would take numerous photos of her. Unlike that cold lad.” He clicked his tongue.Luuk sat on his reading desk, working on his computer to place the order for his clothes when he

chapter 7: "I will, it's mother."“There, I see an ice cream truck .” Tess pointed to a truck parked under a cherry blossom tree. As it's autumn, the flowers have bloomed vibrant pink colored petals. Attracting a crowd to the ice cream truck. The mouthwatering display of various flavors of ice cream contributed to the huge number of children pleading with their parents for ice cream. The ice cream truck attendant was very jovial, he amicably, in a sweet monotone told everyone to form a queue based on the earliest to arrive. Tess stood at a spot in the middle while Luuk lingered by her side. Unlike other kids with their faces full of snot and all kinds of smears from junks , and their tummy bulging, Luuk maintained a calm demeanor, actually he looked bored. He would rather read a book on space ships than waste his time on a queue with an adult for ice cream. Basically sweetened ice which is detrimental to one's health. ‘It's all for the greater course.’ He reminded himself. His eyes

chapter 9: "welcome home Luke"Tess recovered from her trance when the rain started drizzling. She withdrew from the hug, wiped Luke's wet face, and placed a wet kiss on his cheek. "Mother." Luke called with tears and soft tenderness in his eyes that deflected the color of the starry night. Tess's heart softened, It's the first time "Luuk's" voice had ever sounded so soft, like a child. She blamed herself inwardly for that. He caught her in the moment of weakness. Throwing the bad memories to the back of her mind, Tess picked Luke up like a baby and twirled. "Hehe hehe" Luke broke into a laughing fit. His soft voice was still slightly wobbly from crying. "Do you feel better son?" Tess held him tight. She pulled her jacket forward to protect him from the cold wind. " Yes mother, I am fine." Luke couldn't get enough of Tess's affection. His ocean blue eyes twinkled. "Mother has a very beautiful smile. It must be exhausting to look like a goddess all the time, carrying the weight of
