My parents shamed my grandfather at our luxury resort, screaming at him to “get out” and throwing 100 note in his face. They thought he was poor and a burden. But that night, he revealed something that destroyed their world forever.
In the middle of Le Perle, where massive crystal chandeliers dripped like diamond waterfalls, Grandpa Arthur looked like a relic in his faded flannel shirt. He stood up to use the restroom, navigating shakily around a magnificent six-foot tower of champagne glasses.
Suddenly, his bad knee buckled.
CRASH!
The sound was deafening, like a bomb going off in a library. Hundreds of crystal glasses shattered at once. Champagne exploded outward in a frothy wave. The entire restaurant went terrifyingly silent. Arthur lay sprawled amidst the shards, blood from his arm mixing with the gold liquid on the white marble.
"Oh my God!" my mother shrieked. But she didn't rush to help. She grabbed a menu to hide her face in shame.
My father, Robert, marched over. He didn't offer a hand. Instead, he pulled a hundred-dollar bill from his wallet, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at his own father. The paper hit Arthur in the chest.
"Take that for the damage and get back to your room!" Robert screamed, his face turned into a shade of red. "Why do you have to be such a burden? Why don't you just die and save us the trouble?"
The cruelty hung in the silence like toxic smoke. The safety on my internal weapon clicked off.
I kicked my chair back, marching through the puddle of wine and glass to stand between my father and my grandfather.
"You just violated the most basic rule of humanity," I said, my voice icy. "You are not worthy of the name Mosley."
Blind rage took over my father. He swung. Smack.
The slap caught me square on the cheekbone. The metallic taste of blood flooded my mouth. I took the hit like a soldier, standing perfectly still. I helped the Commander to his feet, guiding him to the lobby while my family chased us, screaming about ruined reputations.
Suddenly, the Resort General Manager came sprinting across the floor. My father pointed an accusatory finger. "Hey! Throw this old beggar out! He's bleeding all over your floor!"
The Manager ignored Robert completely. He skidded to a halt in front of Arthur and bowed—a deep, ninety-degree bow of absolute subservience.
"Chairman Hannot," the manager gasped, trembling visibly. "Sir, we did not know you were dining downstairs... I am so terribly sorry."
