Chapter 73
Kendrix
“So now, you are making up stories just so that he will look good? Father, you will regret doing this, you will regret choosing this bastard over me, I will make you pay,”
Jordan roared in anger and stormed out of the place, leaving me and my father. I didn’t have anything else to say to the old man so I stood up to leave.
“Your mother will be proud,”
This was the first time my father had ever spoken of my mom to me, one thing is, my mom has always been proud of me, so it was no news, she has been my biggest cheerleader all my life and she will remain like that.
“She has always been proud of me, I have things to do at the office so I have to leave now, we will talk some other time, right Father?”
I asked him and he nodded. I excused myself and walked out of his presence. I was almost in the parking space when Jordan suddenly walked out of nowhere and stood in front of me, blocking my way.
“Get out of my way, Jordan, I don’t have time for you right now,”
I warned him but he didn’t move.
“You think you have won, right? I told you I would expose you but you still went ahead and handed the Orient to Father and now you think you can be king? Not on my watch brother, you will never be king, I will make sure of it,”
Jordan said. I looked him over before answering him, he looked so angry and out of his mind that I almost started to feel bad for him.
“You, you are a thief; you have been stealing from me ever since we were children but not this time, I won’t let you steal what’s rightfully mine just because Father decided to favor you and he even went as far as cooking a false story,”
He let out in anger.
“Jordan, stop directing your anger at me, I am the wrong person, if you are going to be angry at someone, the moon goddess is there, I mean she was the one that didn’t make your dad and mom meet on time, maybe you would have been born earlier if the goddess let them meet before he met my mom, secondly, blame yourself, I mean, it is obvious that you didn’t do any work, trust me, if you had at least done any work, the Orient won’t have been so easy for me to acquire, you didn’t do any work and was waiting for me to get it so that you will blackmail me into giving it up, you thought I was stupid, well I have news for you,”
I fired at him, he looked speechless for a moment because I got him.
“Too shocked to speak? You thought your little tricks would make me give up the throne, oh brother, think again because your tricks are so lame, don’t worry, when I become king, you can still visit the palace,”
I added and watched him get even angrier.
“Shut up your mouth, shut up your fucking mouth, I am going to be the alpha king because I am the only true oldest son of the alpha king, you can’t take my place no matter how you try,”
He yelled out.
“Right,”
I said and made to leave but he blocked the way.
“Don’t walk away when I am still talking, remember I still have your videos and pictures, does Arielyn know already? Does she know what you did? Do you think she will continue backing you when she finds out? Do you think her father will continue supporting you when he finds out you hurt his only daughter?”
He questioned. the mention of those damn photos again.
“What does that have to do with you, I told you, I don’t care what you do Jordan,”
I told him even though deep down I hoped I would have the chance to explain what happened to Ari before it got out.
“You don’t care? You will when I do what I am going to do, you better be scared of what I might do to ruin your reputation, brother,”
He responded in his usual annoying voice. The man was such a loser and if I didn’t know his family, I would have thought every one of them was just as dumb as him but I was part of the family and as far as I know, he is the only one that acts this way out of us all, the twins had no time to pick fights or throw threats around, they weren’t the best but they were at least supportive; I can’t say the same for loser Jordan.
“I am not scared of what you will do bro, I have no fear in me, do your worst, bring it on, Jordan,”
I told him firmly, his loser ass was foaming in the mouth yet he was still trying to scare me.
“If I were you, I would be scared, you don’t know what I can do to you, you really don’t want to know especially now that I have nothing to lose, I am going to make sure I fuck you over Kendrix, watch your fucking back, brother because you won’t know what will hit you if you don’t,”
He said and turned around. I watched him walk away with my hands curled into a fist, I so wanted to walk up to him and punch him in the face but I decided to just let go, I had better things to do and a shit load of things to worry about than fight a loser like Jordan who couldn’t just take his lose and learn from it.
I walked to my car and drove back to the office. I had a few things I needed to take care of before I could go back home and beg my way back into Arielyn’s good side, hopefully, she would forgive me. What I had to do at the office took longer than I had anticipated so when I finally could leave the office, it was already past seven pm, I got into my car ready to drive home when my phone buzzed in my pocket, I brought it out, it was an unregistered number, even though I wasn’t expecting any business call at the time, I still picked up.
“Who is this?”
I asked as I started my car.
“Kendrix, it is me, Veronica, can we meet up? I have something urgent that I need to discuss with you, it is about your brother,”
It was her voice, I recognized it at once. Where before my heart would beat fast at the sound of her voice, now the only thing I could feel towards her was anger for what she let Jordan talk her into doing to me.
“What do you want from me, Veronica? Haven’t you done enough? Or do you think I will not find out what you did with my brother and how you set me up?”
I asked. Just saying the words out made my blood boil.
“I know you are mad at me. you have a right to be, I am in O-when right now and you are the only one I can talk to, I don’t know anyone else here and your brother has been threatening to send mobs to get me, I am stuck here and I don’t know who else to call,”
She sounded so scared that for a moment, I felt pity for her.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“Why would I help you? The last time I helped you, you set me up,”
I let out, I wanted to hang up but then I heard voices in the background, and also Veronica was running while talking inaudibly, I couldn’t hang up.
“Veronica? What’s going on? Are you okay? Veronica, talk to me.”
I yelled at the phone.
“Please help me, I don’t want to die,”
She cried into the phone, all thoughts I had of turning the phone off flew out of the window as I started my car.
“Where are you right now Vera? I am coming for you,”
I told her. She told me where she was in a shaking voice and I drove out of the office in a hurry, whatever Veronica did to me didn’t matter, I didn’t want her to die in the hands of some murderous wolves; I had to go save her but after that, I am going to wash my hands off her completely and forget she exists.
“Just this last time, for old time’s sake,”
I said as I fired my car in the direction that she had told me, hoping that I wouldn’t be too late…
