Victor: moves a pawn forward, hands trembling D-did you ever wonder about them... your real parents?
Who was this rival? And why did they want to take me away from you?
reaches into his pocket, pulling out an old photograph This was him, Triberg. His name is Marcus, a ruthless businessman with connections.
Marcus? I recognize the name. He was one of my father’s business rivals. He’s been trying to expand his influence in the city, and he’s willing to do anything to get what he wants.
nods solemnly Yes, that's right. He saw your father as a threat to his ambitions, and he wanted to eliminate any obstacles in his path.
So he wanted to take me away from you because I was seen as a valuable asset.
pauses, his voice softening Triberg, I made a mistake. I let my fears and desperation cloud my judgment.
You…you let your fear control you. And now, because of that, I’ll never get to grow up with a family.
drops to his knees, tears streaming down his face Triberg, I know I can never undo what has been done, but I promise you, I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you.
Making it up to me? How do you plan on doing that?
stands up, determination filling his eyes Triberg, I vow to protect you and provide for you.
Protect me? Provide for me? What do you mean by that?
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with conviction Triberg, I will ensure your safety and well-being above all else.
Safety and well-being? What do you mean by that, exactly?
pauses for a moment, his mind working swiftly Triberg, I plan to implement the latest security measures in our home.
Security measures? Like what?
pulls out a tablet and begins showing Triberg various blueprints and technical schematics
Are you planning on turning our house into a fortress?
nods solemnly Yes, Triberg. We need to make sure that nothing and no one can harm you ever again.
Do you really think that’s necessary?
interrupting, his voice firm Triberg, I understand that this may seem like an overreaction, but I promise you, it is not.
And what about you? You said you’d make it up to me, how are you going to do that?
pauses, deep in thought Triberg, there are many ways I plan to make it up to you.
starts pacing, his mind working at lightning speed Triberg, I plan to increase my charitable donations to support children in need.
That’s a start. But it’s going to take more than just charity to make it up to me.
stops pacing, a determined look on his face Triberg, you're right. Charity is just the beginning.
What else are you going to do?
starts pacing even faster, his voice filled with urgency Triberg, I also plan to launch a foundation dedicated to supporting families affected by violence.
A foundation? That’s a big undertaking. Are you sure you can handle it?
pauses, his eyes shining with determination Triberg, I may be a businessman, but I am not afraid of hard work.
Just promise me you won’t forget about us in the process.
grabs Triberg's hands, his voice filled with sincerity Triberg, I promise you, you will always be my top priority.
Alright, I trust you. Let’s get started then.
rushes to his desk, pulling out a notebook and pen Triberg, we need to start planning immediately.
Okay, alright. But don’t expect me to be involved in the day-to-day operations of the foundation.
starts jotting down ideas, his voice filled with excitement Triberg, I understand. Your safety and well-being are my top priorities.
Okay, sounds good. What’s the first step?
snaps his fingers, calling in his most trusted assistant Triberg, let's start by gathering a team of professionals who share our vision.
Great idea. You have a lot of connections, thanks.
begins making phone calls, negotiating with potential board members Triberg, I'm already making progress.
That’s great to hear. Keep me updated on any developments.
hangs up the phone, his face lighting up with excitement Triberg, I've secured three key board members so far!
Three board members? That’s impressive. What’s next?
quickly starts drafting up a business plan, his fingers flying across the keyboard Triberg, now we need to secure funding and resources.
Don’t worry too much about the money, Victor. I’ll cover the initial costs myself.
pauses, a grateful smile spreading across his face Triberg, your generosity means the world to me. But please, let me handle the fundraising efforts.
Alright, if you insist. Just remember, I’m here to support you in any way possible.
picks up the phone and starts making calls to potential donors Triberg, I'm confident that together we can secure the necessary funding for this foundation.
