The Rise Of The Consortium Heir

Chapter 2

Kelvin kept staring at the document, a flashback from 4 nights ago came flashing across his mind. His crazy erotic sex with Katherine. 

Flashes of her screaming and moaning his name, as he pounded her mercilessly came flashing back into his mind. He sighed, trying to get his mind off that memory.

For a second, he tried to believe that they were fooling him, as they do to each other sometimes. But the handwriting on the document was Katherine's, and so was the signature. 

There was no other explanation, his marriage was about to collapse. He wished Katherine was there, so he could look her in the eyes and demand an answer. 

"What are you waiting for? Jesus Christ, just do it already!" Johnny yelled, but Kelvin pretended not to hear him.

He took in a deep sigh and sauntered out of the house, holding onto the document. 

"Where are you going?!" Mariana screamed, chasing after him. He ignored her and climbed on his bicycle. Before Johnny could try to intercept him, he zoomed off, towards Katherine's office. 

It was late at night, Katherine had told him she was working overtime, due to the massive leftover files that needed to be attended to. 

But following this present incident, he understood why she stayed late. She can't look him in the eyes and tell it to him, so she sends her family to do the job for her.

It was about a 10-minute drive to the Fubris company, where Katherine worked. In no time, he was standing right in front of the tall building, with "Fubris Company Ltd'' boldly written at the top of it.

The Fubris company building was sitting in a rural town, right beside the sea. During the day, there is critical traffic, due to its busy road. At night, a cool breeze from the sea travels across the town. 

Kelvin stopped by the building, but he didn't alight from his bicycle. He gazed at the tall building before him and couldn't help but wonder "How did Katherine get such a job from such a company." 

"Maybe that's why she's divorcing him. Maybe she found someone better. Maybe Mariana was right to some extent," he was carried away by his thoughts, until a car passed through the watery part of the road and splashed water all over him.

"Hey!! Are you blind? Dumb fucking son of a bitch!" he cursed at the driver. He returned his gaze to the building and alighted from his bike. 

He had calmed down a bit, as he sauntered towards the entrance door and found out it was open. Even if he would ever divorce Katherine, he wanted to look her in the eyes as it happened. 

He found his way in and luckily, Katherine's office was just by the corner. He heard her voice talking to someone, and it was a male voice that was responding to her. 

As he approached her office, he began to hear them clearly.

"Once you get the document signed, nothing is stopping us from becoming husband and wife. And I promise that I will promote my wife to the position of manager. You can trust me on that." the deep male voice told Katherine. 

Kelvin dropped his shoulders in shock and gasped. A touch of ice ran down his spine, making him mumble words quietly. 

He was vexed by the man's words. Tiny veins crept on his forehead, as he wallowed in rage.

Even though he had promised himself not to get angry at Katherine, he couldn't ignore what he just heard, so he kicked the door open and stormed into the office, startling them.

Sitting on the chair was Duncan, a man in his early 30's. Only by his suit, you could tell he was a really rich dude. 

Katherine was sitting comfortably on his lap, with his hands wrapped around her waist as Kelvin walked in. She jerked a little, but Duncan held her tightly, as he glanced at Kelvin in disdain. 

Duncan was the son of Gallagher, one of the directors of the Fubris Company Ltd.

Katherine began to panic, a shadow of shame passed over her face, etching lines of remorse. 

"How dare you batch into my privacy without permission from me?" Duncan snarled at Kelvin, but Kelvin ignored him, his angry gaze fixated on Katherine, his beautiful wife. 

Katherine was a beautiful woman in her late 20s. She was 5.7 feet tall, with an hourglass shape. 

Her long black hair, curvy hips, and big butts make her beauty visible from afar. Her smile displays her perfect set of sparkling white teeth. She was indeed an epitome of beauty. 

Kelvin stared at her with anger and pain. His love for her had withered away. He was disappointed that she sent him divorce papers on the night of their anniversary, while she was flirting with another man.

"Hello??" Duncan said, waving at Kelvin, but Kelvin acted like he wasn't seeing anyone else in the room, except Katherine. 

Katherine forcefully freed herself from Duncan and stood up from his lap. She turned to Kelvin and clenched her fingers together, her gaze fixated on his lower body, avoiding contact with his eyes.

"Uhhm!! What are you doing here Kelvin?" she asked, remorse hung heavy on her countenance, like a dark cloud obscuring the sun." 

"Hahaha!!!" Kelvin laughed awkwardly. 

"Really? Like, am I supposed to answer that question?" he asked, his countenance changed immediately. He stared at her in disgust.

"We're married for god sake Katherine!!! How can you be this shameless?" he yelled at her, but she flinched at his words and couldn't utter a word. 

Duncan who had been silent the whole time got infuriated. He got up from his seat and charged at Kelvin. "You son of a bitch!" he roared angrily.

He stretched his left hand to punch Kelvin in the face, but Kelvin bent his head to the right, avoiding his punch. 

He pulled back and came again, this time for his lower body, but Kelvin took two steps back, avoiding the punch yet again. At this point, Duncan lost balance and staggered. 

Before he could regain balance, a terrible punch from Kelvin landed on his face, and he dropped to the ground. Blood gushed out of his mouth. 

He was still struggling to catch his breath, when another punch landed on his nose. He collapsed and rolled on the floor crying out in extreme pain. But Kelvin wasn't done.

As he charged to land more punches on him, came a scream from Katherine. "You crazy asshole, leave him alone. You're killing him," she yelled.

On hearing those words, Kelvin retreated and faced her. "So that's it huh?" 

"You're gonna marry him just to get promoted. So this is the love we promised each other? You know what Katherine, I hate to be the obstacle holding you back." He snapped angrily and picked up the divorce papers.

He put his pen on the paper and signed on it. When he raised his head, Katherine had fear in her eyes, she wasn't sure of what she was doing. But he did not care. 

He handed her the document and left the office without looking back. Katherine gasped and dropped the document on the table, so she could help Duncan up his feet.

Outside the company building, Kelvin sat on his bicycle and dialed a number. He clenched his phone to his ear, his face burning with rage. 

"Hello," Kelvin said as a pugnacious sound rang in his ears from the phone.

"Hello Uncle," he greeted. 

"And who am I speaking with?" a deep voice roared from the phone. 

"It's me, Uncle Theo. It's Kelvin." 

"Sorry, you're who?" he asked, unsure of what he heard the first time.

"Come on Uncle Theo, it's me, Kelvin." 

"Kelvin?!!!" the person on the phone exclaimed, so much joy in his voice.

"My goodness! It's been 3 years since you left home Kelvin. Where are you? What's going on there? And how is your girl? The girl you abandoned your family to be with."
