Chapter Twelve: Jason

I

t’s a beautiful morning. I lie in my comfortable bed, surrounded by the luxury of my privileged life. I can't help but feel a sense of guilt wash over me. Anna and others endured the pain of

seeing their homes taken away and their lives upended. I may not know what that feels like, having grown up in a world of opulence, with different villas scattered across and outside the country.

But I do know that it must have been excruciating. Anna, in particular, did not deserve to bear that burden. She's always been a formidable force, a fierce advocate for justice. We may not be friends, but I don't want to be part of the problem she's fighting against.

The weight of the situation presses down on me. I toss and turn in bed, wrestling with my own conscience. Should I confront my parents? Should I dig deeper into the allegations and uncover the truth, no matter how painful it might be?

But fear holds me back. Fear of what I might discover. Fear of the consequences of exposing my flesh and blood, of tarnishing the family name, especially now that I am set to be CEO. But what kind of a leader will I be? One who closes their eyes on injustice? People suffered from those evil acts, and if my parents were involved, I need to know. I can't continue a flawed legacy.

The remnants of a restless night still cling to me, but I can't linger in bed any longer. The gnawing questions about my family's involvement in land grabbing have become too insistent to ignore. I pad into the bathroom, the cool tiles underfoot a stark contrast to the sun's warmth outside. As I splash my face with cold water, I make a spontaneous decision – I'm going for a run. The crisp morning air might help clear my head, and the rhythmic pounding of my feet on the pavement might drown out the cacophony of doubts and fears.

I slip into my running gear, lace up my sneakers, and head out the door. The streets are quiet at this hour, and the city is just beginning to stir. My breath comes in steady, measured puffs as I set a brisk pace. The rhythmic thud of my sneakers against the pavement soothes my troubled mind, at least for a moment.

But my moment of solace is short-lived. As I round a corner, I face a sight that strikes me like a punch to the gut. A homeless family huddles on a street corner, their makeshift shelter cobbled together from cardboard and scraps of cloth. The parents, their eyes hollow with despair, hold their children close, shielding them from the cold, harsh reality of life on the streets.

It's a scene that cuts through me like a knife, a poignant reminder of the pain and suffering inflicted upon those who have lost their homes. My heart aches as I think about Anna and her relentless pursuit of justice for people like this family.
