90Falcon did. He knew Kyle better than he knew himself. He sighed and moved towards the window to get some fresh air, not before passing a 'Take your time to cool down' look at his shaking best friend. The room had become stuffy with tense air and the heat from Kyle's searing glares. Falcon looked out at the bustling city. Loud noise under the clear blue sky was just normal in Eastonville. A flock of birds swayed and swirled around in the sky, putting on a spectacular show for eager bird-watchers like Falcon. A quarter hour passed in intimidating silence. It was actually a bad sign, thought Falcon. He saw Kyle in his peripheral vision. He had frozen near his desk in the same position he left him standing there. A raging Kyle taking out his frustration by breaking and shattering stuff was normal. This wasn't, and it gave Falcon the willies he had last experienced in high school when his name was dragged in a drug scandal by classmates, who didn't like him. Kyle was the one who save
89Three days later, Kyle threw his tea mug on the desk, wetting papers with the hot liquid. The steam rose off in the air while he grasped his hair and let out a growl between his gritted teeth. The noise made his secretary, Titus, rush in. He entered without a knock and froze on the door whilst holding the knob. He opened and closed his mouth, not knowing what to say. His boss's nostrils flared with every breath he took and the way he was mercilessly pulling on his hair, Titus knew not to disturb him. He quietly closed the door and stood against it, holding his heart. His heart was racing ten miles per minute— it had to because it had never beaten this fast before.Titus chewed his lips as he fell into a deep thought. The last time his boss was in such a mood, many innocent employees faced unnecessary suspension or extra time of work. Titus wanted to save them. He was thinking what he could do best to divert his boss's wrath to someone else, or something else, when he saw a famil
88Karson tried not to shake as his lips twisted in fury."You’ve had more chances than I can count. And every single time, you turned gold into garbage. But sure— why not give you the company next? Maybe toss you the keys with a ribbon on top?" He gritted his teeth in disgust.He shoved Kevin back dismissively and added, "This isn’t one of your get-rich-quick fantasies, punk. S.L Corporation is not a toy! I won’t let you anywhere near that company. You never had any right on it before, not now. Just go away before I lose my mind.""Who said I don't have a right?" Kevin was far from done speaking. He took a step backwards as he laughed.While earlier the words seemed to have been shoved into his mouth, now whatever he said came right from his heart."I wasn't born to Sophia Lawson, but I'm her husband's son... Y
87A tiny voice, aggravating and enraging at that, rang out from somewhere in his mind and said, "Too bad that she was taken. We could've changed it, though?! All you had to do was get her divorced— you had plenty of ways to get it done— and then she would have been yours. What's the point of thinking about it now? She's gone... And she doesn't want to be found again, remember!""No one's waiting on me. Neither am I." Kyle shouted, more to that tiny voice in his mind than at his father. He focused on his father's face and glowered harder. "I'm happy in my life the way I am. I'll send another set of agreement tomorrow morning and this time you'll have to sign them.""Not unless you get married." Karson said with a calm look. Kyle had lost it. He slapped an antic piece off a table near the sofa set. The noise made Ruby clutch her mouth. Her eyes set ablaze and mouth trembled because it was expensive, and Kyle had no right to break anything in this house. This was HER HOUSE and everythi
86The clock struck Ten past ten when Kyle closed his laptop. He clutched his head in one hand and rubbed his eyes with the fingers of the other. It was a painfully long and tiring day. Though he didn't have any meetings to attend physically, the online conferences with delegates overseas took most of his time and energy.He slid his chair back to touch the ends of his shoes, stretching his back. After performing stretching exercises for a quarter hour, he grabbed his phone and purse. He sat in the car and ordered his driver to take him to his father.Kyle somewhere knew it was going to be time-consuming as his father had clearly stated he wasn't signing the agreement so soon, he still tried to give it a shot. He barged inside the house with an air of authority and charm. His shoes thudded slightly on the marbled floor as he stopped across from the set of couches where his father was enjoying late-evening coffee with a phone in his other hand."So, you signed the papers? Where are the
85Kyle felt a flash of irritation. He expected it to go quietly and without much conversation, and take hardly more than ten minutes. "You're in no position to put any kind of condition, Mr. Panther. That company belongs to me. I have a birth right on it. No one can stop me from possessing it." He stated through gritted teeth. Ruby shook in a fit of rage after hearing those words. "What is wrong with you, jerk! I didn't know you intended to take one of Karson's company. If I had even the slightest idea about it then I would have never persuaded him to meet you." She shifted from one foot to another. Not that her husband had any less property, she just didn't want any of it to go to Kyle. Not even a small paper clip that was brought from her husband's money! Since Karson's first wife died, Kyle stopped being his son. She had made sure of that when she sent Kyle away to boarding school. That was supposed to sever any tie they had. Above all, Kyle was well established in his life.
