"Do whatever you think is possible to bring me down. I didn't care but be sure that I would pull you down with me." Kade threatened him which made Chris angry but tried hard not to show it in his tone."You think you can do that?" He chuckled, diminishing the courage Kade had initially mustered. "After murdering your wife?""Well then do what you must… I fear nothing." Kade said. "You know quite well what you're going to lose right?" "Listen." Kade implored him. "Although both companies are still in a faulty partnership, if anyone makes a wrong move both would be affected.""Your company did that and I'm taking a fall for it," Chris emphasized. "That is why you would have to make everything right or face the consequences.""Threatening me would make no difference." Kade chuckled darkly. "If you want to play that card then I can boldly say I have a trick up my sleeves."Trick up his sleeves? What crazy plan does he have right now?" Chris wondered and concluded that Kade was probably s
"Ari, stop saying all of this." Chris pulled her in a hug, rubbing her hair gently. "I know you didn't mean what you are saying." Aria shut her eyes as she sniffed her nose, she felt guilty about the chaos because it was caused by Kade. "What the hell makes you think that leaving would make it all better?" "I just think so.""Didn't ever say that honey, I belong to you and don't want to ever leave your side." Chris pleaded lifting her chin for her to see him. "Don't leave me please."The scent of food buying snapped them out of their delusional state as they quickly responded to the food before the smoke alarm went off and drained them.They burst out laughing at each other relieving the tense air that had once consumed them."You seem to have constant calls today." Aria noticed and pointed out to Chris whose phone was seated on the island in the middle of the kitchen, Chris nodded nervously and shoved his phone into his pocket."Honey?" "If something you didn't like happens you d
Chris strode towards her when she didn't respond to his question and swiped away her phone to see what she was referring to, his mouth gaped open in shock."How… how did this happen?" Chris asked her. "Does someone else know about the footage?" "Besides Bricks and Aria, I didn't think anyone knows." Melissa shrugged her shoulders immediately taking a seat on one of the couches, Chris tapped his foot impatiently as he leaned on the table thinking of how this had all come about."We're not done fixing one and then another arises," Melissa mumbled in frustration, she turned her head to Cnris and frowned."Do you think he knew about the footage and decided to release them himself?""I didn't think that would be the situation, if he planned on doing that then why wouldn't he destroy the CCTV footage after murdering her?" Chris thought out loud."What then are you insinuating?" Melissa questioned still processing what he was saying."I'm saying there's someone else." He concluded and just
0Chris tilted his bro wondering why Kade's father called, he placed the phone on his ear and nodded as though the man could see him. "Yes, how can I help you?" He questioned walking towards his deand sk sitting down, he nodded at Marcus to leave and continued speaking with him. Mr Bricks."Well it's not something I can speak to you on the phone, could we meet somewhere and talk?" The old man suggested but Chris wasn't about to give in, associating with a murderer's family could be bad for his company, and would not want to be in the public's bad eye again."I don't think that would be possible, you are quite aware of what your son has done and yet you want us to meet?" Chris frowned leaning further into the chair, he gazed at the ceiling at sighed. "I can't put my business at risk just to see you.""I have an off that hat you won't hesitate to grab." He quickly said before Chris could end the call which grabbed his attention."And what is that?" Chris seemed to be invested in it but h
"I don't know him, I have never seen his face because he always put on a mask." The man explained but the story didn't add up and it was unbelievable even to a little child."So you're telling me a masked man asked you to meet my wife and you did?" Chris growled punching the man in the belly."You won't understand sir, just believe me." He pleaded. "Besides you shouldn't be too protective of her if everyone already had a taste of her."That was it…. The final strike to make Chris get annoyed, he punched him constantly until his face got bloodied and Aria came to stop him before it could get worse and people were beginning to circle them."It's enough now." Her face was full of worry and he could tell just how scared she was, he pulled her into a hug assuring her that she was okay."Are you sure you would be able to drive to work?" Chris asked her noticing how jittery she was."Yes, I can." She nodded pulling. away gr him so as not to let the lood soil her clothes. "You should clean of
"Fucking bastard!" Kade hissed in pain as Bricks retreated and ran away before the officers could get him, Kade was quickly rushed to the hospital for treatment and thankfully it was a minor injury. Chris on the other hand was focused on finding who the man who texted him was, he kept feeling uneasy this morning about what next he was going to do.Weeks had passed and he was now in the psychiatric ward bored with absolutely nothing to do, he stared at his palm while quietly seated on the bed, everything in the room was an anti-suicide and would prevent him from hurting himself which he desperately wanted to do.He scratched his arm until it turned red and stopped only when a nurse got into his room to check up on him"Hey, Kade." She smiled at him with a tray of food while gazing at him which he disliked so much, it reminded him of Briella and it was her who put him in this situation. He turned his face away from her and stared right outside the window unwilling to do anything but be
"What do you mean he's no longer there?" He yelled angrily. "How can you explain how he left without anyone noticing, weren't there any guards on duty?" MR Bricks snapped in anger banging the desk in front of him and ended the call immediately.He sat on the chair and sighed in frustration, there was a protest currently going on about Kade not being sentenced to life imprisonment, if the court found out about Kade escaping the psychiatric home, his punishment would only get worse and he may not be able to help him out anymore."Why was I cursed with a stupid child?" He whined in pain. If his son wanted to destroy himself then he would have to do it himself.Mr Bricks had thought that Kade being in the psychiatric home would give him time to recover the company losses but as it is, he could see his company crumbling down.He immediately dialed a number and placed his phone on his ear while sipping his vodka and gazing at the family photo on the wall with a grim look on his face."I hav
"What do you mean he escaped?" Mr Bricks yelled. "Are you telling me that fifteen men weren't enough to handle just one person?" "I'm sorry sir but they were all killed." The person answered through the phone."How dare you not do your job well?" Mr Bricks yelled. "I asked you to end him yet you couldn't put a bullet in the lunatic's head.""I'm sorry sir, I would find him and end him." The man said and ended the call. Mr Bricks scattered the file on his desk I'm frustrated and broke anything he could just to ease the frustration he was feeling."What is the issue this time?" His wife barged into the room with the cup of tea he had requested, she stared with a worried look at the files scattered around."That insane son of yours wants to kill me!" He yelled."Don't say something like that.""Didn't you dare act coy with me when you know how stupid he is!""Don't blame me for his behavior!" She frowned at him but didn't raise her voice k knowing it would only anger him more which was
