The Heir
chapter 2
Maximilian regretted his decision to ask for Griffith’s help because they will never help him. Not in this lifetime, even in the next.

“How can I stay there at this rate?” Victoria muttered and sighed.
“I ruined it.”

“Why didn’t you tell me about your mom, Max?”
“I don’t want to bother you.”
