Noah P.O.V
~Flashback~

-Cough, Cough-

"Are you ok, son? You should get some rest." I heard father tell me. "I'm fine, dad. I want to do well on the upcoming entrance exam. Let me study a little bit more." I tried to convince him. "Don't push yourself too hard. Your health is important too. If that troublemaker of a son, Ian, could be more like you...",
Dad started to say but he trailed off at the end. " Don't be too harsh on brother, Dad. I got this. Leave him be." I said to Dad.

"I am inferior. I knew that fact, ever since I was little. I was born from the head of the Collins' household second wife: An average woman, with nothing special about her. But I didn't want to remain average. I didn't want to be just another member of the family."

"Luckily for me, the first wife's son, the 'supposed' official heir to the family company, was a total good-for-nothing. All I had to do was prove to be the more intelligent and hardworking son between us. That was all it took for father to realize who should be the successor of the family company."

"Oh? Isn't that my cute, little, sickly brother? Like acting sick wasn't enough to gain father's favor, now you're trying to be the hardworking son as well? Don't push yourself too hard. What if your heart gave out?" Ian said laughing away.

"Honestly, my brother didn't prove to be much of an opponent."

~Flashback ends~

Still Noah's P.O.V
"Father was foolish to give the company to the likes of you. All you know how to do is act weak and sickly to get special treatment. You piss me off, Noah." Ian complained. "The company was supposed to be mines! What right does the son of a whore have to steal it away from me?!" Ian said to me. I wasn't paying until, I until I saw a head poke out from behind Lena. I realized that was Iva when she called me "Uncle Noah!" I was shocked until I remember something.

~Flashback~
All I saw was Iva being throw, falling down towards the zombies below us. "IVA!" I heard a voice exclaim. She got eaten...

"How could you do that to our daughter!? To throw her like that you monster!" Lena exclaimed while questioning my brother. Fighting the tight grip Li had her in to hold her down.

"You didn't see me throw her! She tripped and fell on her own!" Ian screamed back at her. He looked directly at her while saying that.

~Flashback ends~

"Hey jackass, are you even listening?!, he asked me. "Wasn't listening." I told him as I walked pass him heading to Iva. "What?!" He exclaimed angrily when I said that. "Long time no see, Uncle Noah." Iva told me. "Hey Iva, long time no see. Did you know today is Neo's birthday?" I told Iva as I bent down so I can face her. "It is?! Happy birthday, cousin Neo!" Iva said directing it towards Neo.

"Birthday? When did you start celebrating his birthday?" Ian said, emphasizing 'you' and 'his'. Lena stood by his side, she was quiet but turned her head away when Ian said that.

3rd Person's P.O.V
Neo turned his head away not listen to anything the 2 adults were saying. That was until he felt someone pull on his jacket sleeve. He turned to see who it was only to find Mira standing behind him looking confused. She was trying to figure out which the 3 new people were. He explains the situation to her.

Noah turned his head to side glance Ian and gave him a cold stare while telling him "Another word and you're on your own for the next month, Ian." Ian didn't seem to be scared of the threat that Noah told him. "Ooh, scary. Fine. I'll shut up." He said as he held his hand up in a surrender motion. You could she how thick the tension around those two was. That was until Noah felt a tug on his sleeve. He looked down and saw Iva looking up at home ith her sparkles in her. "Uhm... Will there be birthday cake, Uncle Noah?" Iva asked him.
