THE IN BETWEEN

CHAPTER 1: LEAVING THE FAMILY

"This is a hundred million, Uncle has already

done his best to help you."

Aurielle glanced at the bank card that

Robinson had tossed on the table top and she

looked up with a cold gaze.

"No need for that. Thanks Uncle," she said

indifferently as she sat down on the chair.

"I can take care of myself and my matters,

you don't need to worry about me, Just take

Amaya with you." Aurielle replied.

Robinson sneered disdainfully, "You'll be able

to take care of yourself? How about Asher?

Why would he even follow you someone that

hasn't graduated from high school? To do

child labour and beg?"

What an embarrassment to the family.

Aurielle gave a wry, enigmatic smile, her eyes

curved slightly, "Money? I've got some money,

You can keep this bunch for Amaya."

Robinson glanced at his niece who had such

an outstanding appearance but carried

herself

like a bad person. From a young age all her

cousins steered far away from her since she'd

talk with her fists sometimes.

Her relationship with the family was so so

nobody really liked her, since she was driving

herself away it'd be great for the family and

his career.

His sister and husband had tragically died,

leaving the three children with no guardian.

And it was a critical time for his promotion in

the political arena.

Taking Aurielle and Asher would do him no

good. Asher had also been causing trouble

since a young age, skipping school and

beating his playmates. If he brought them

back and they caused trouble, his future

prospects would be ruined.

Among his sister's children, Amaya was the

most sensible one, she was smart and had

his sister's good looks as well.

She was beautiful and well loved by others, if

not his sister would not have left all their

wealth in her hands. Bringing Amaya with him

will be his way of showing gratitude to his

sister.

"Good luck! on your own!" he said coldly.

Aurielle glanced at him and replied cooly, "I

already have enough luck, I don't need your

half hearted wishes!" she then stood up and

walked calmly through the door.

Amaya glanced at her as she slopped down

the stairs, " Sister, though Mom and Dad gave

me the house, you and Asher can come and

stay here I don't mind". she said with a smile.

"No need!" Aurielle smiled slightly and raised

her hand to look at the watch on her wrist.

It was time to pick Asher from school. She

calmly took out the car keys to her old Jeep,

sat in and drove away without any second

thoughts.

"She'll definitely come back to you seeking

refuge," Robinson said seething with rage for

being dismissed by a younger member in the

family, " You don't have to interact with such

people in the future again, they can only look

up to you."

Amaya didn't respond, she turned to look in

the direction that Aurielle had left in with

narrowed eyes.

Aurielle didn't mind what her so called Uncle

and younger sister thought because to her

they never mattered in her life, she could still

live with or without them.

Though without them it was better.

And she promised herself to live a better life

now that she had left that family, she had to

prosper to prove them wrong.

She hummed a tune while she drove to pick

her brother from school.
