90 Days With The Cold Billionaire-Chapter 122 - ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO: Your Son Is Dead
Kendrick’s POV
I couldn’t get Evan’s face off my mind, he was just fucking fine an hour ago and now, he was gone just like that.
Why won’t God just take away all the evil people that are making my life a living hell and leave the ones that genuinely care about me.
That old man is really ruthless and he never cares as long as his interest is not affected.
As soon as I stopped the car, I immediately got down and headed towards the river.
"Kendrick!" Christy yelled anxiously from behind. I stopped to look at her and figured out what she was thinking from her expression.
"I am not that fragile, just wait here for me"I said and continued walking to the river.
On getting to the river, I slowly dipped my legs into the water and looked at the huge expanse of water.
"Evans, brother I don’t know if you can hear me, but I am in your favorite place. You said this is where you get peace, so I am hoping you could lend me some.
Thank you so much for everything you have done for me in the past twelve years. You have been my biggest inspiration to get better, you fought for me severally and did things under the table just to ensure that my position is never shaken.
You traded your life for hers, so I am telling you that your sacrifice would never go to waste. We will definitely get married and have lots of children...." I paused to wipe my tears, the cold wind pierced my skin but I was too overwhelmed with emotions to even shiver a bit.
"I want you to be happy over there and continue watching over us. Hopefully you return to my side as my son, so I will give you the childhood you never had in this lifetime ... .Goodbye brother" I whispered before stepping out of the water and heading back to the car.
When I looked up, I noticed Christy was still standing beside the car and shivering slightly.
"I told you to wait in the car" I reprimanded her softly.
She didn’t respond and just kept staring at me before rushing into my arms. She wrapped her hands around me tightly and I finally calmed down a little.
A few minutes later, she pulled away and placed a soft kiss on my lips.
"You know, today on our way to the house, he told me how you saved him twelve years ago and how you are the reason for everything he had.
He told me not to leave you because you love me and I never imagined that less than an hour later, he would die in front of me ... .He didn’t deserve to die but he blocked the bullets without hesitation.
If I was the one in his shoes... I don’t know if I would be that brave to die just so the person I care about can remain happy" she said amidst sobs. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"That’s enough... I am sure he is finally resting and found peace where he is now. Everyone is different, even I won’t think twice before laying my life down for someone I love , no matter how much we think about it, just the thought of how life would be if that person was gone is enough punishment" I said softly while wiping her tears.
"Come on, I need to inform his parents" I said as I opened the passenger door for her, she slowly got in and I got into the driver’s seat as well.
"He told me about them as well... Are they better now?" she asked and I shook my head.
"They got worse with time" I said calmly as I drove towards the suburbs.
The drive took almost an hour and when we arrived at the familiar old building which Evans has shown me severally, I found a corner to park.
"I know the apartment that they stay in but they have never met me" I said as I stared at the second floor.
"Why?You never went inside?" Christy asked with a frown.
"He never allowed me to meet them, he said they won’t let me go and will disturb me for money if they found out I was his Boss. I increased his salary to make it easier for him to send them money monthly, but they were never satisfied" I said as we walked up the old stairs.
Knock knock!
On getting to the apartment, I knocked and we waited for someone to respond but a few minutes later, there still wasn’t any response.
Knock knock!
I knocked again as I had seen that the lights were on when we were downstairs, which means there was someone in the house.
"Who is the idiot that won’t mind their business!"
"What do you want! You are disturbing my good time"
Angry curses rang out from inside and we could also hear footsteps walking towards the door.
"Who are you?!" A middle aged woman opened the door and yelled at us angrily.
She had a bedsheet tied to her chest, her hair was messy and sticking to her face because of sweat. It wasn’t hard to guess what she was busy with.
I stared at her in disgust.
"Hello Mrs Tarakim, I am Evan’s boss and.."
"You are his Boss? Didn’t that bastard tell me that he was only working at a factory? How dare he lie to me! You look really rich, so he must be earning more than he is telling us, he better be prepared to give me more money, such an ungrateful brat!... Always lying like his useless father" she rudely interrupted me and ranted to her heart content before keeping quiet.
Now I understand why Evans would rather spend Christmas alone than go home.
With a mother like this, he definitely wouldn’t get peace of mind.
"Why are you screaming like a shrew... How disgusting!" A slurred voice came from the stairway and I turned to see a middle aged man staggering over.
His splitting resemblance to Evan’s made me know who he was.
"Why are you back? You better wait outside, I have a customer in the house!" The woman yelled at him angrily.
The man acted like he couldn’t hear her and tried to force his way into the house but the woman shoved him back angrily and I caught his body before he could hit the wall.
"You whore! All you know is sex... Fucking around each day!" the man yelled vulgarities.
"Can the both of you shut up!" Christy couldn’t take it any more and yelled at them.
"Hey.. You little brat, how dare you yell at me? Should I worship you because you are that bastard’s Boss? You better go find him if he owes you money.. I don’t have money to pay anyone’s debts!" the woman yelled back.
"Your son is dead" I dropped the news brutally, since they don’t want to act like normal people.
