Kael's pov “Yes, I'm drunk,” I spat, a bitter laugh escaping my lips. “Guess what I had to drink… my hatred for you.”With that, I stood, pushing the chair back with the same sharp scrape against the floor. “I can't stop drinking it,” I whispered, my voice hoarse. “And I won't stop until I see you have a taste of your own medicine.”I saw a flicker of something in his eyes. Something like fear mixed with anger… I wasn't sure. All I know is that he was going to pay for his sins, sooner than later. I left the dining room, heading straight to my room. If I had a place to go, I would have left this house. But he already took my apartment and credit card. “Kael,” a voice called from behind me. When I turned, Hazel stood at the beginning of the hallway, her arms folded as she leaned on the door frame. Of all people, it had to be her. Disappointed at myself for turning, I sighed and turned back, hoping she’d take the hint. But her footsteps followed, sharp against the floor until she wa

Arian's pov “I already found the truth or should I say the truth already found me. I know who caused the accident,” I said, trying to make my voice dangerously low.“You don't know what you are talking about. Stop disturbing my morning, Arian. I'm tired of the sight of you.” He said, trying to dismiss me. Then the words tore from me like fire. “Kael had confessed.”His face was drained of color. His eyes widened before he could catch himself, before he could mask it with the usual calmness. That one flicker of shock was all the confirmation I needed.“What did you just say?” his voice shaking as he asked. “Kael had confessed.”He opened his mouth, probably to deliver the same rehearsed lines, but his words failed him. “Don’t you dare tell me another lie. Don’t you dare tell me you don't remember. You knew everything and now, you’re going to say it.”George stared at me for a long, suffocating minute of silence. “So you believed Kael?” he asked, causing my heart to pound.Was he s

Kael's pov Hazel's words have been gnawing at me for days. At first, I brushed them off, pushing them behind my mind. We know how Hazel was. She is desperate for a savior and she believes I'm the only one who can help her. So she's doing everything in her power to make sure I'm in one piece. But some things are beyond the laws of physics. The more I tried to push her words away, the more I thought about them. I began to think about the people he was closer to… his secretary and his driver. Those were the two people that followed him everywhere.But Mr Kim has a better relationship with my father than the driver. Mr. Kim had been working with him for over five years, if not ten. He was always ready with an answer, always knowing things before anyone else. He was dependable, loyal, and quiet.And in all these years, I realized I knew nothing much about him. I don't know where he came from, not whether he had family, not even if he had anyone waiting for him outside his life as a sec

Arian's pov “Son,” he said, placing his hand on mine. “Like I said earlier, I understand you. But let logic lead you now. We can't go far if you work based on your emotions. All we need is to use Kael to get to his father.”“You want me to use him? Like to use him to our own advantage?” I asked in disbelief. “We have a mutual goal, we and Kael. All we have to do is join hands together to achieve what we want.”I stared at the man in front of me and I almost laughed at his idea. He thinks Kael is that easy to use. He thinks it is easy for me to jump on the offer. I'm sorry in advance. I laughed bitterly, the sound hollow. “Your plan sucks.”Andy leaned back in his chair, folding his arms across his chest. He wasn’t angry, not even defensive. Just calm in that way that infuriated me, as if he had already thought ten steps ahead. “Why are you seeing him as an enemy? “No, I'm not,” I answered too quickly. He shook his head, disagreeing. “You’re seeing him as the enemy, Arian. He isn’

Kael's pov You don't deserve it but I'm here giving it to you. Don't make me regret inviting you tonight,” He said, causing him to blink. “This is not about us, but about our enemies, your father and my uncle. Instead of feeding me with talks, why don't you come up with ways that could help us.”When the message came that morning, I almost dropped my phone. My heart leapt as if it was a lovely letter he sent. I can't believe I got my hopes up for the cold version of him. But I can't blame him. I'm the one to be blamed. I'm the one who caused him to turn cold like this. However, my heart still breaks because he had successfully built a wall of defence against me. He wasn't interested in what I was saying and he was strict about making things professional. How can I act professionally in front of the person I love? How is that even possible?But what can I do about it? If I want to work with him, I'll have to bend to his terms and conditions. So I answered, trying to maintain composu
