The city buzzed with life as Henry sat on the bus, nervously clutching a bouquet. He was on his way to meet his fianc\u00e9e\u2019s parents for the first time.

Henry wanted to impress Emily\u2019s parents and prove himself worthy to their son-in-law.\n\n\n\n Suddenly, a commotion erupted at the front of the bus interrupting Henry\u2019s line of thought. A teenage boy, no older than sixteen, was attempting to steal a wallet from an elderly woman. Without hesitation, Henry leaped to his feet. \u201cHey! What do you think you\u2019re doing?\u201d Henry\u2019s voice echoed through the bus.\n\n\n\n A sad teenage boy | Source: Pexels The teen looked startled and tried to run, but Henry grabbed him by the arm and held on until the driver stopped the bus and called the police. The other passengers watched in a mix of admiration and relief as the boy was taken away.\n\n\n\n The elderly woman, her hands trembling, looked up at Henry with gratitude. \u201cThank you, young man. You saved me.\u201d \u201cIt was nothing,\u201d Henry replied with a warm smile. \u201cJust glad I could help.\u201d\n\n\n\n An elderly woman and a young man talking | Source: Midjourney\n\n\n\n In the chaos, Henry realized he had missed his stop. Panic surged through him. He checked his watch; he was already running late. As he prepared to make his way back, the elderly woman followed him off the bus. \u201cPlease, let me thank you properly,\u201d she said. \u201cMy name is Agnes, and I have a gift for seeing the future. Would you allow me to read your fortune?\u201d\n\n\n\n Henry hesitated. \u201cI appreciate the offer, but I\u2019m really in a hurry. I\u2019m meeting my fianc\u00e9e\u2019s parents for the first time today.\u201d\n\n\n\n Agnes\u2019s eyes darkened. \u201cWho rushes to a funeral?\u201d she said cryptically.\n\n\n\n An elderly woman | Source: Midjourney\n\n\n\n Henry frowned. \u201cWhat funeral? I\u2019m meeting the love of my life\u2019s parents.\u201d\n\n\n\n \u201cBelieve me, if you go there, a funeral is inevitable. If you want to avoid this, never tell her father your real last name.\u201d\n\n\n\n Henry\u2019s heart skipped a beat. \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d\n\n\n\n \u201cYour real last name is tied to something dark. Her father will recognize it, and it will lead to tragedy. Trust me.\u201d\n\n\n\n A surprised young man | Source: Midjourney\n\n\n\n Henry was bewildered but also intrigued. He didn\u2019t believe in fortune-telling, but something about Agnes\u2019s demeanor made him pause. \u201cAlright, what should I do?\u201d\n\n\n\n Agnes handed him a small, ornate card with her contact information. \u201cIf you need more guidance, call me. But remember, do not reveal your true last name.\u201d\n\n\n\n Henry nodded and gave her his number too. He thanked her again and hurried off to catch another bus. His mind raced even faster now, filled with a mixture of anxiety and curiosity.\n\n\n\n An elderly woman and a young man talking | Source: Midjourney\n\n\n\n ##\n\n\n\n Henry arrived at Emily\u2019s parents\u2019 house, a beautiful, sprawling estate on the outskirts of the city. Emily greeted him at the door, radiant with excitement.\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019re here! I was getting worried,\u201d she said, hugging him tightly.\n\n\n\n \u201cSorry, I had a bit of an adventure on the way,\u201d Henry replied, forcing a smile.\n\n\n\n As they walked inside, Henry\u2019s nerves returned. In the grand living room, Emily\u2019s parents, Charles and Margaret, waited. Charles, a stern-looking man with sharp features, eyed Henry critically. Margaret, in contrast, had a welcoming demeanor.\n\n\n\n A man meeting his future in-laws | Source: Midjourney\n\n\n\n \u201cHenry, it\u2019s so nice to finally meet you,\u201d Margaret said, shaking his hand warmly. Charles merely nodded, his piercing gaze making Henry uneasy.\n\n\n\n \u201cThank you for having me,\u201d Henry said, trying to sound confident.\n\n\n\n The evening started smoothly with a polite conversation over drinks. Remembering Agnes\u2019s warning, Henry lied that his last name was Johnson. As the night progressed, Charles\u2019s questions became more probing.\n\n\n\n A family settled and eating together | Source: Pexels\n\n\n\n \u201cSo, Henry, tell us about your family. Where are they from?\u201d Charles asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.\n\n\n\n Henry felt a bead of sweat form on his forehead. \u201cOh, we\u2019re just a simple family from the city. Nothing too remarkable.\u201d\n\n\n\n Charles didn\u2019t seem satisfied with the vague answer but didn\u2019t press further. Instead, he switched topics to Henry\u2019s career and ambitions. The tension in the room eased slightly.\n\n\n\n A worried man | Source: Pexels\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat do you do for a living, Henry?\u201d Charles asked his tone still skeptical.\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m a marketing manager at a tech company,\u201d Henry replied.\n\n\n\n Charles raised an eyebrow. \u201cAnd what are your long-term goals?\u201d\n\n\n\n Henry took a deep breath. \u201cI hope to start my own business one day.\u201d\n\n\n\n Margaret smiled. \u201cThat\u2019s wonderful, Henry. Ambition is important.\u201d\n\n\n\n Emily beamed with pride, saying \u201cHenry\u2019s very talented. I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll succeed.\u201d\n\n\n\n A happy woman | Source: Pexels\n\n\n\n Charles remained silent, his expression unreadable. Henry couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that Emily\u2019s dad judging him harshly. Despite the pleasant welcome from Margaret and Emily, Agnes\u2019s warning echoed in his mind.\n\n\n\n As dinner was served, the conversation turned to more personal topics. Margaret asked how Henry and Emily met, and they both recounted the story with fondness. Then, an unexpected turn of events occurred.\n\n\n\n \u201cI did some research on you, Henry,\u201d Charles said suddenly, his voice cold. \u201cI know your real last name isn\u2019t Johnson. It\u2019s Blackwood, isn\u2019t it?\u201d\n\n\n\n A man confronting another man at a dinner table | Source: Midjourney\n\n\n\n Henry\u2019s blood ran cold. How could Charles have found out? He had been so careful. Emily looked at him, confused and hurt.\n\n\n\n \u201cWhy would you lie about your name?\u201d she asked, her voice trembling.\n\n\n\n Henry swallowed hard, his mind racing. \u201cI\u2026 I can explain.\u201d\n\n\n\n Charles stood up, his face filled with anger. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing to explain. The Blackwood name is infamous in this town. Your uncle killed my sister in a hit-and-run accident and was never caught. Your family has a history of evading justice. I can\u2019t believe you would deceive us like this.\u201d\n\n\n\n A man in disbelief arguing with another man | Source: Midjourney\n\n\n\n Margaret gasped, covering her mouth with her hand. Emily\u2019s eyes filled with tears.\n\n\n\n \u201cIs this true, Henry?\u201d she whispered.\n\n\n\n Henry nodded slowly. \u201cYes, it\u2019s true. My family has a troubled past, but I didn\u2019t want that to affect our future. I love you, Emily. I didn\u2019t mean to deceive you.\u201d\n\n\n\n A woman confronting a man | Source: Pexels\n\n\n\n Emily stood up, tears streaming down her face. \u201cI need some time to think,\u201d she said, her voice breaking.\n\n\n\n Henry watched helplessly as she ran out of the room. Charles glared at him. \u201cYou need to leave. Now.\u201d\n\n\n\n Henry left the house, his heart heavy with regret. He walked aimlessly through the streets, replaying the events of the evening in his mind. He had lost everything in a matter of minutes.\n\n\n\n A defeated man walking away | Source: Midjourney\n\n\n\n ##\n\n\n\n A few days later, Emily called Henry and agreed to meet him at a quiet caf\u00e9. Her eyes were puffy from crying, but she looked determined.\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat is your explanation for all these?\u201d she demanded as soon as Henry sat down.\n\n\n\n Henry took a deep breath. \u201cI was raised in an orphanage, Emily. I never knew my parents. The only thing I have that connects me to my biological family is my last name. When I found out what my uncle had done, I was horrified. But I had no part in it. I didn\u2019t want to carry that burden with me, so I changed my name to start fresh. I never wanted to deceive you.\u201d\n\n\n\n A man and woman talking in a cafe | Source: Pexels\n\n\n\n Emily\u2019s expression softened slightly. \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you tell me sooner?\u201d\n\n\n\n \u201cI was afraid,\u201d Henry admitted. \u201cAfraid of losing you, afraid of your reaction. I love you so much, Emily, and I didn\u2019t want my family\u2019s past to ruin our future.\u201d\n\n\n\n Emily sighed, her resolve wavering. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot to take in, Henry. But I appreciate your honesty now. We need to rebuild trust.\u201d\n\n\n\n Henry nodded. \u201cI\u2019ll do whatever it takes to make things right. Please, just give me a chance.\u201d\n\n\n\n A man and woman talking in a cafe | Source: Pexels\n\n\n\n ##\n\n\n\n Days passed, and Henry received no word from Emily. He felt lost and alone. One evening, his phone rang. It was Agnes.\n\n\n\n \u201cI sensed you might need my help again,\u201d she said gently.\n\n\n\n Henry poured out his heart to her, explaining everything that had happened. Agnes listened patiently and then spoke.\n\n\n\n A man on call | Source: Pexels\n\n\n\n \u201cThere is a way to make things right, but it will require great courage and honesty. You must face your family\u2019s past and seek forgiveness from those who were wronged.\u201d\n\n\n\n Henry was skeptical but desperate. \u201cWhat do I need to do?\u201d\n\n\n\n Agnes explained that Henry\u2019s family had wronged many people in the town, including Charles\u2019s own family. To earn back their trust, he needed to make amends and show that he was different from his ancestors.\n\n\n\n Henry took a deep breath. \u201cI\u2019ll do whatever it takes.\u201d\n\n\n\n A thoughtful young man on call | Source: Pexels\n\n\n\n ##\n\n\n\n Henry spent the next few weeks visiting the families his ancestors had wronged. He listened to their stories, apologized sincerely, and offered to help in any way he could. It was a humbling experience, but slowly, he began to earn their forgiveness.\n\n\n\n One day, he received a call from Emily. She wanted to meet.\n\n\n\n They met at a small caf\u00e9, and Emily looked at him with a mix of hope and sadness.\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ve heard about what you\u2019ve been doing,\u201d she said. \u201cIt means a lot to me and my family.\u201d\n\n\n\n A couple having a heart-to-heart talk | Source: Pexels\n\n\n\n Henry took her hand. \u201cI\u2019m so sorry for deceiving you. I love you, and I want to make things right.\u201d\n\n\n\n Emily squeezed his hand. \u201cI believe you. But we need to rebuild the trust we lost.\u201d\n\n\n\n Henry nodded. \u201cI understand. I\u2019ll do whatever it takes.\u201d\n\n\n\n A reconciled happy couple | Source: Pexels\n\n\n\n ##\n\n\n\n With Agnes\u2019s help, Henry delved into old records, spoke to surviving relatives, and pieced together the story of his family\u2019s past. He discovered the depth of his family\u2019s wrongdoings and the pain they had caused.\n\n\n\n Henry brought this information to Charles, who was both devastated and relieved to finally know the truth. It took time, but with Henry\u2019s continued efforts to make amends and his unwavering love for Emily, the families began to heal.\n\n\n\n A happy couple | Source: Pexels\n\n\n\n Emily, seeing Henry\u2019s determination and integrity, decided to give their relationship another chance. They worked together to build a future free from the shadows of their past, proving that love and honesty could overcome even the deepest wounds.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
