Chapter 1 Prologue

Prologue

Grandpa Gregory and grandma Rosaline had gathered in the living room.

It was their fiftieth wedding anniversary and the guest had long gone home.

Their children and grandchildren with their spouses were all waiting to present them with the gifts they had specially gotten for them to celebrate their anniversary.

Caleb had joined them in the living room as they waited to present their gifts. He had only been married to Anna for a month so he had not gotten any gift and was not even aware that they would be celebrating their anniversary.

David the oldest child of the family and his wife spared no one especially if you were not from their social class. "What gift are you going to give dad and mum?' David laughed

"You can't even afford a decent meal talk more of getting someone a gift." Ella his wife joined her husband and they both roared in laughter.

Their daughter Kim grimaced, she had never supported their attitude towards others.

They both were a perfect fit, mannerless and snobbish, both believe they were the IT couple and made fun of people not minding how hurtful their words were.

Caleb had started to say something when their grandma chided him.

"You may be married to Anna but to us, you have the status of a servant, so don't feel you are our son-in-law or act like one. I am just tolerating you."

Caleb just stared short of words he had never felt so embarrassed in his entire life.

"Grandma, please be nice.' Anna pleaded.

"Do yourself a favor and get rid of him as soon as possible, whatever you were thinking, why marry such a man, he is beneath us and you know that. Anna, why are you walking in your father's footsteps? Anyway, what is there to expect from you when your father disobeyed me and married your mum." Grandma Rosaline said irritated.

Caleb started walking away; nothing he did was ever pleasing to this family.

"Caleb, wait," Anna called but he didn't stop, staying longer might make him say or do what he would regret later.

It was just a matter of time and he would be rid of this family for good.
