Theo Austin was the eldest son of a humble furniture maker, in the modern times
Theo has two younger siblings, their parents did their best to raise them all
Equal love and Good morals, to be honest and to be kind
So when his family's furniture thing took off and they became successful and rich
They turned evil!
Joke.
Theo was taught about the hard work and dedication that was put into growing a bussiness and even if you rise above do not forget the people who made you happy while you were low
So when Theo was made CEO, the family couldn't be anymore prouder
Family dinners, secret Santa, and accepting each other
The Austin's were a tight-knit family
Then Theo's younger brother was caught in a strong river current while they were on family vacation
To save his brother he dived in the flowing river to push his brother back into land
So when he died.
The Austin Family lost a loving son, a caring brother and a wonderful person in their lives.
Theodore... Well not much to say about that tyrant, in the novel he was even planning a treason against the empire
And he was a shitty father, a shitty employer and a shitty husband
Yes he loved his wife, but you probably didn't know about the fact that his wife already had a family
You didn't? Well no you do, more reasons to hate this guy
His beloved wife already had a husband and a 2 month old daughter, probably where Olivia came from
Theodore being a shitty sore losing fucker had the husband killed and Olivia thrown into the orphanage, no wonder Olivia became a villain
When he was poisoned by probably anyone in the Noble or Imperial society because he was such an asshole everyone secretly hated him
So when he died.
The Alliet Dukedom gained a man who has virtue and decency, unlike a certain someone
TBC...
