Chapter 6

Keith walked back to the Hotel Lobby, he was trying to act like nothing was going on when he knew everything was going wrong but he chose to act that way since he had taken care of the threat. 

‘I honestly thought they would put up a fight, but they were all flukes and they called themselves guards. Pathetic,’ Keith was a bit disappointed, he had expected to fight people with extraordinary strength. But he didn't get anything like that, he only got to beat around some rather weak men. 

Keith got to the Hotel Lobby, he didn't catch any sign of his guards he decided to wait for them. “They probably went to look for me, I will just wait here.”

Keith made himself comfortable by sitting down and waiting for his guards to come back. It was like everyone was muttering the moment he took a seat in the lobby.

‘I know I am not dressing properly but must they make it look like a big deal?’ Keith tried to shrug off the fact the people there were looking at him like he had committed some kind of crime. 

Keith was trying to distract himself when he put his hands into his pocket and took out a locket. He looked at it and smiled. 

It was the same locket that Eleanor’s father had given him when he was about to get married to Eleanor. “This brings back a lot of memories, good and bad alike.” 

Keith was lost in his good memories, he wasn't paying attention to the people that were walking in the lobby. Keith was already a bit infuriated that he had to wait there for his guards to come back. 

He tried not to show that he was not happy. It was like he was waiting in line to get something that he knew was his already. “This line feels like a mistake, where did they go? Where is Marx by the way?” 

Keith kept looking around, he had a feeling that something was going to go wrong but he tried to make sure that nothing was going to make him lose his cool like that. ‘I know this is a weird feeling, I don't know why I think there is something wrong going to happen but then I don't care.’ 

Keith sat back and waited for his men to come back from wherever they went, he kept looking at the locket trying to imagine a world where Eleanor didn't betray him like that and where they were still together. But he was having a hard time even thinking of it. 

He gave all his life to making sure she was happy, waiting with her hands and feet. He didn't care if he was ridiculed by her entire family. Keith kept loving her, making sure that he didn't even act like it was a problem for him. 

Even when Keith had recovered his memories from the ghastly accident that had almost claimed his life he still chose to make sure that Eleanor was happy no matter what. 

Keith didn't care if there was something he had to do to show how much he loved her he would have done it and still not complained. ‘After all that, I get tossed aside like a pile of dirt.’ Keith took a deep breath and then sat back comfortably. 

“What in the world are you doing here?” A voice came from the entrance of the hotel lobby, Keith turned to see Jared and Eleanor entering the hotel. It seemed as if they had come to spend the night there. 

“Oh God, this ought to be fun,” Keith muttered as he tried not to pay any attention to the two that walked in but it was as if he was going to fail in avoiding them. 

“Who let this piece of trash step in here? This hotel is not fit for someone of his status! He is a pile of garbage compared to all of us here. So I want to know who let you in here!” Jared was standing in front of Keith, it was as if he was trying to make him look  Keith look smaller than him so he could intimidate him. 

“You dare lay a finger on me? Hire actors to hit me and then you think I will let you sit here without paying for what you have done? You are wrong, I am Jared Henshaw and I will see to it that after you have been thrown out of here like the piece of trash you are. You will also be put down for touching me.” 

“All this coming from an oversized daddy’s boy, what am I meant to be terrified of?” Keith asked sarcastically, he was looking at Jared knowing that there was nothing Jared could do to him. 

“You’re talking back to me? I know you must be crazy. Don't worry I will make sure that you pay for everything you have said or done.” Jared was looking around as if he was looking for someone. 

“You will be sorry Keith Norman,” Jared said as he walked out, it was like he was going to bring someone to help him out. 

“What a crybaby,” Keith said as he noticed that Eleanor was still there, ‘Why didn't she follow him?’ 

Keith looked at Eleanor who didn't utter a word, she was looking at him directly. “Why don't you act like a normal man and apologize to him? I can help you out, if I talk to him then he might not do anything to you.” 

Eleanor was trying to get Keith to apologize to Jared, she was trying to help Keith out of pity for him. 

“Why in the world would you do that for me?” Keith looked at her, he wanted to know what it was that would make her try to help him. 

“Don't get anything in that head of yours, I am only doing it out of pity and because of my relationship with you so act like a normal man and apologize to him.” Eleanor was looking at Keith with pity written all over her face, it was like she wanted him to beg Jared for forgiveness. 

“The last thing I will do is go to an overgrown man-child and beg him to forgive me, he can go hang himself if he wants to. But I am not begging him for anything,” Keith then averted his gaze from Eleanor, he was trying to make sure that he didn't say too much. 

Eleanor was stunned to see that what she had been with for three years was a different person, it was like Keith was showing her a version of himself that he had hidden from the world. “I wonder what is going on in that sick brain of yours but I hope you come to realize that you need help.” 

Eleanor then stopped talking and turned to wait for Jared, Keith didn't utter another word. He looked around to see if he would spot his men but there was still no sign of them. ‘Now where in the world did they go off to?’

“There he is, that is the scumbag I was telling you about. He is nothing but trash. I wonder why he was allowed to be here. I want you to make sure he is treated the way scum should be treated.” 

Keith looked up to see Jared beside him was a man dressed in a cotton suit, he looked at Keith with disgust in his eyes. “Please sir before things get out of hand I would suggest you leave the premises.” 

Keith simply looked at the man, he didn't even have the words to say anything but just sighed. “I am not going anywhere, not even if you bring ten douchebags I am not moving.”
