Chapter 76 Family Secret



The Hanson Family had a big secret that no one knew about except for elders and Kester. During the accident fifteen years ago, Kester lost his wife and son. His wife was a pacifist and believed that both families, the Rothschilds, and the Hanson, could work together and create a future where bloodshed and animosity would be non-existent.

It drew a wedge in their relationship, leading to a family clash. It was minor scuffles at first, but on a particular day, despite her husband\'s warnings, she decided to resolve things on her own. Previously, she always worked in the shadows but seeing the situation worsening, she chose to openly revolt against the direction of the family.

The situation was resolved after a supposed \'accident\' fourteen years ago.

It was the early eighties when the cracks began to appear in the UK\'s economies, and the whole sector began to slow down. With the abysmal growth of the economy, people began to resent the leading government. Loss of jobs without proper healthcare and growing prices fueled that resentment, culminating in protests in different parts of the country.

Kester\'s wife fell into a coma, and he also lost his son, whose body was never recovered. It was a massive riot on the outskirts of London, organized by protesters fed up with the country\'s economic direction.

But upon investigation, Kester and his allies found substantial evidence which showed clear signs of tempering. A peaceful protest suddenly turned violent only in specific parts of the country. Kester resented the instigators of the incident, but all he had were circumstantial proofs. Stricken with grief, he mourned the loss of his son; he was devastated upon learning that his wife may never wake up and had to live out her life on life support.

His family situation got worse as there were repeated clashes between different factions. They took advantage to gain as much ground as they could. Kester\'s father had to step up in his absence to stabilize the situation.

Their family structure could be more cohesive; although a person is leading the charge, it is not absolute like many other families. It is a make-like shift structure held by the common interest of protection and wealth.

The news which freed Kester from the repeated horror of his loss was about her wife\'s pregnancy. It was a shocking revelation that gave him hope in a time of need. He gathered the best professionals in the medical industry and also invested heavily in security and privacy. It was a joyous event when his daughter was born. Due to his overprotective nature, he said he adopted her, which was a lie, but he didn\'t want anyone to target his only daughter.

Very few people knew about it, and to this day, he never disclosed anything about his wife. He wanted to tell Iblis, but something was holding him back; thus, he kept everything under wrap, and in a few years, most people forgot about it.

Kester walked into a lavish mansion; on paper, it was listed as a private property, but he transformed it into a top-of-the-line hospital. He placed his wife, who is still in a coma, in the hands of a few of his trusted subordinates. Anything that happens here is strictly kept confidential.

Kester visits his wife regularly, often telling her about his daughter. Although sometimes, he cannot show it openly, he loves his daughter, Iblis, dearly.

" Recently, our daughter met a boy, and they seem to get along. Although I regret doing it, I have a bad feeling about it. " Kester said as he held his wife\'s hand.

Olivia, his wife\'s peaceful sleeping face, gave him hope and strength in many difficult times before. But he made it a habit to always tell her before doing something meaningful in his life.

A coma is a prolonged state of unconsciousness. During a coma, a person is unresponsive to their environment. The person is alive and looks like they are sleeping. However, unlike deep sleep, the person cannot be awakened by any stimulation, including pain.

Kester always carries small hope that one day Olivia will wake up. Even after fourteen years, he still has dreams about such development.

" I know if you would have stopped me, but I am only doing what is best for our daughter. Eric is the right person for our daughter. They are our subordinates and long supporter, and his family is no less powerful than ours. They will keep Iblis safe. " Kester spoke his mind and finalized his decision.

He only wanted what was best for his daughter, even to tie her up without her consent. His past trauma and insecurities reflect in his decision.

" I know it may not look like a good decision now, but I know she will be happy in the future." Kester thought, holding Olivia\'s hand.

Kester didn\'t know that the enemy he had been trying to find outside his home had been hiding inside his room all along.

He never indeed investigated the incident personally, thus masking the movements of his enemies.

Actual perpetrators of the incident give the true meaning of " Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

------------------------------------------

Eric Has always been a greedy person. Although he has enough money and fame in his circles, he always wants to play in the big leagues.

After marriage talks began with the Hanson family, he steeled himself to get the most out of it. But he truly underestimated the movements of other branch families; they were like a hungry wolves waiting for opportunities to tear the family down. Decades of planning and careful consideration were put into the mission, and even a tiny mistake could put a bullseye on their back.

Eric learned it all after finding that his father is the mastermind behind everything. His father took him into schemes, and they decided to plant the perfect spy to monitor their prize together.

Eric, who never got any approval from Iblis, and his father, blinded by endless greed to take over the family, worked together to employ Karolina.

Karolina, a seemingly little chess piece, had a big secret, which led the pair of the father and son to force her into submission.

But who would have known that she would ultimately ruin their whole plan by utilizing the unknown variable, Samuel.
