Chapter Seven

In the quiet of the night that settled over the dilapidated house where Michael and his son Victor stayed, they began preparing for sleep. Edward had prepared a warm room for them, but the thoughts and tensions still lingered. The dim lights cast mysterious shadows on the walls, as if hiding secrets that could never be revealed.

Victor sat next to his father on the bed, smiling with determination and resolve, and said in a voice filled with confidence: "I'll go out in the morning to find a suitable job. I promise you, Father, that I will restore your fortune and teach that woman a lesson."

Michael's expression changed, with old memories clearly reflected in his eyes, as if a ghost from the past had returned to haunt his thoughts. He replied with a weak smile, "I wish I could live to see that day, my son."

Victor, with boldness, reassured him: "Don't worry, Father, that time will come soon."

Then Michael looked at Victor with a serious face and asked, "My son, what would you do if you had a book that could change the fate of the entire world?"

Victor paused for a moment, deeply thinking, then replied firmly: "I would change the fate of our lives and not allow any source of sorrow or misery to remain."

Michael continued: "And after that, what would you do?"

Victor paused again, then said with determination: "I would take revenge on anyone who hurt me or caused harm to those I love."

Michael laughed cheerfully, as if some of his burdens had been lifted, and said with a touch of humor: "I knew it. You must have inherited some of your mother's traits." He chuckled a bit before adding more seriously: "My son, I raised you because I feared you would become like her, with a cold heart that cares only for itself. I wish I had known her before marriage, but regret won't help me now."

Victor looked at his father, his mind racing with deep thoughts, as if there were hidden mysteries in his father's words.

Michael continued in a gentle tone: "My son, I will leave you with a legacy. Calm your heart in all situations, even in life and death moments, and practice patience. You must be a positive influence on everyone around you." He added with a playful tone: "But don't overdo it," and laughed lightly, as if some wisdom lay behind that smile.
