"I'm proud of you, Son." Don Lucien smiled. This is the first time he actually acknowledged me as his grandson. I got a high rank in an underground organization that many famous families has been managing. Big-time names, lots of money, and influences.. He smiled as if it was something to be proud of.

Nilampasan ko lang sila at lumabas ng office. Tumango-tango ako habang nagsisindi ng sigarilyo, "Siraulo" sambit ko dahil hindi ko maintindihan ang takbo ng utak ng matandang 'yon.
Kahit anong gawin naming kabutihan hindi n'ya naa-appreciate. Mas interesado s'ya sa organisasyon na iyon — ang organisasyon na nagpapalago ng business at nagpapa-ingay sa apelido namin. Kaso lahat may kapalit.
Naisipan kong umuwi nalang sa bahay ko at matulog. Wala naman ako masyado ginawa buong araw pero nakakapagod, nakakawalang gana kapag sinasampal ako ng katotohanan na ganon lang ang turing sa'kin ng grandfather ko.
I checked my phone and they all texted me to congratulate but ignored them all.
