Chapter 3

A month later, Amelie dies. Again, sadness falls over the family that now summarizes to two people. Uncle Victor remains silent—he rarely says a word. He is ways staring at something distant; he is thoughtful and tearful. It seems that he aged ten years in a few days.  
            Ivor, on the other hand, doesn't know what to do or say to comfort his uncle who received him in his house and family after his parents' death with open arms. Amelie was as his second mother. The aunt loved him in the same way his mother did, that´s why he can´t comfort his uncle. He is also suffering from the loss of the woman who helped him move on after such a hard blow of the destiny.  
In a few days, Victor starts to show the symptoms of the damned disease; even having so much money, he couldn´t save his wife, and he can´t save himself.  
            “Ivor, we know what is about to happen. We need to have the last conversation. Take a seat in that armchair on the other side of the room.” Victor sits down on the sofa staying away from the nephew. 
            “Uncle, you still have some months.” Ivor sits down and tries to drag the chair closer to the uncle. 
            “I talked to the doctor... I will go to the hospital. Everything in this house will be incinerated. You must buy new furniture and utensils. You must redecorate the house.”   
            “But...”  
            “It will be better in this way. I am transferring everything to your name; the properties, the businesses, this house... Regarding your father´s house and factory, I thought about hiring a trustworthy person to...” 
            Ivor interrupts him, “You thought about everything. How long have you been planning it?” 
            “Since I realized the gravity of the situation.” Victor takes the handkerchief to the mouth and coughs. 
            “I don't want any of that! Everything is yours!” 
            “Ivor, I am dying, and you are my only heir.” He pants before continuing, “I trust you. I know you will be a successful businessman.” 
            “I thought...” 
            Victor leans forward. “You mustn´t say who you are. Never! The police haven´t found your parents' murderers yet. Don't trust anybody.” 
            Ivor gets up and walks back and forth. He walks two steps in the uncle's direction but hesitates when he sees the uncle covering his mouth and coughing. “Do you think I am in danger?” 
            “Maybe. The factory is good; the manager has communicated some purchase proposals during these years, but anything suspicious. Probably, Giles was not killed because of the businesses.”  
            “I want to make a request. I must stay here, therefore, sell the factory and the house, because I won't support to return to that place.” 
            “Are you sure? We are talking about your inheritance.” 
            “I am. I cannot manage that business. I prefer to sell everything instead of hiring an administrator,” he affirms. 
            “I´ll sell the factory, but keep the house. One day, you will want to return.” Victor points his trembling finger to Ivor. 
            The uncle's words sound like a curse—or maybe a premonition. His face tenses and his feature darken.
Uncomfortable with the situation, he answers, “I don´t think so.” 

            With difficulty, Victor gets up and climbs the stairs heading to his bedroom. Soon, he will go to the hospital and Ivor will be alone in that big house. Desperate, he looks for someone who can help him in his thoughts in such a difficult moment. His few friends are distant for Ivor to ask for help; the employees respect him, however, he wants to keep things on a professional level.
