Chapter 49: 49
"Aaron", he shouted again.
"What’s going on here?" James asked while we were still in the middle of the hall.
"Why are you asking what is going on when you are the one who started it?" I said while I noticed grandfather’s eye was placed on him.
"What are you doing here?" Grandfather asked him.
"Me?"
"Yeah, what are you doing here?" he asked again.
"I’m just cohabitating with my little brother", as he said he looked at me with suspicious eyes.
"Aaron, explain what the hell is going on here?"
"Did I bring you out of the place just to see you again with this guy? Or did you forget what he has done to you?" I clenched my fist but not a single word came out of my lips as if someone sealed me in the place frosting my body.
"Aaron, I’m asking you. Did you go against me?" he asked again when I tried to say, "No, he is here on his own. I never invited him nor do I know his motive for being here so I never went against you. And now as you can see your assistant and him are together then I assume your close subordinate to hide this from you."
Galhan looked at me with angered eyes while I was still standing to see what grandfather was going to say.
"Hey, you? Come with me", the grandfather said and James followed him to study while I and Galhan were standing alone and his eyes were stuck on me.
"Why did you do this?" he asked.
"Huh! You are asking me?" I looked at him.
"Yeah, I’m asking you. Why are you doing this?" he asked again.
"Why am I doing this? Ha, are you kidding me? Isn’t it what you bring on your own? Didn’t you start this on your own?" I said.
"What are you saying?"
"Don’t act like you don’t understand when assistance is aware of all the riddles," I said while he glared at me.
"Yeah, that is the issue of yours. You are not acting like you are on your job but from the start, you are acting like I’m your enemy just because of your inferiority complex."
"I know grandfather will never say to enter my room without my permission when you can just wait in the hall until I come and look after the files you have created following me.
Not only that but when you come you must have noticed James who is more hated by Grandfather because he knows the reason but still you didn’t inform him about the situation. But keep on targeting me as if you have some personal grudge against me."
"Did I say right?"
"Yeah you said right I do hate you," he said.
"It’s not because I have a personal grudge for you but seeing hope you are getting everything from the moment you enter this household angers me."
"Seeing how you left your own biological father’s house and entered this household still got the life of luxury angered me when you are nothing but just a brat."
"I don’t know what the chairman thinks of to make you his heir but you are nothing but trash who is favoured by all whoever you went to."
As he finished his sentence I slapped his face.
"What do you think you know ha? What the fuck do you think you know? When you know nothing. Do you think I’m all privileged because wherever I go I only live in luxury but do you know how everything made me feel so freaking empty because I don’t have the thing I desire the most?" I said without breaking a single word.
"Ha another excuse", he smirked.
"Ha excuse? Ok then let me just get your wife another husband so that you will feel the misery", I looked straight into his eyes.
"Stay within your limit", he chewed his teeth.
"Limit? Who are you showing the limit? When you are the employee and I’m the employer here. You should stay within your freaking limit before you tell me to stay within my limit. Did you get it?"
He frowned and left the place making me remember what grandfather and James were talking about.
Author’s POV
"Where are you taking me?" James said while he was still following the chairman.
"Be quiet and follow me."
Both of them stopped in the middle of the study room.
"Now tell me why you brought me here", he was getting impatient.
"Don’t act!! You know why I brought you here so tell me why the hell did you return to his life", Chairman asked.
"Return to his life? When did I ever leave his life? I always messaged him, called him and tried to meet him so it was a never-ending process which is your answer reminding you I never left his life. Not now, not in the past also", his voice sounds full of ego, arrogant.
"Ha, so you now learnt how to talk to me when you once couldn’t even utter a word seeing me?"
James took a pause and said, "Now too I’m still wondering what to say as you are the one who put all the negative thoughts inside his mind and made him leave the house. Don’t you think it’s true?"
"I did? Or you are forgetting what you have done?"
"What have I done?" James questioned.
"What have you done? Did you forget you snatched his girl from him? Or you just trying to act that you don’t know?" he glared.
"First of all let me clear this up," James said.
"I didn’t snatch his girl but she came to me on her own."
"And the second is I tried to tell him but the situation was messed up and then you enter through his life making the mess even bigger. Why are you trying to put all the blames on me when you are partially at fault? Or is it because you are just taking revenge from me for the sake of your dead daughter?"
"How dare you take my daughter’s name?" Chairman raised his voice, making him flinch.
"Just who the fuck do you think to take my daughter’s name when your mother is the one who ruined everything?"
"And who the hell do you think you are when you are doing the same thing as your mother snatching other’s happiness?" he kept on saying while James kept taking his steps back.
"Do you think acting all innocent is a privilege when you are completely rotten inside? No, you are not and you can’t be him so just get yourself out of his breaking life. I don’t want to see you with him again." he said and turned back when James said, "What if I say I will be the one who can save your grandson from the girl who once made him broken?"
He turned again asking, "What are you saying?"
"Yeah what I’m saying is the one Aaron is meeting now and the one girl you have pictured is the girl who once chooses me over him but now she again returned out of nowhere ."
"I won’t let it happen," Chairman said.
"I too want the same. I don’t want both of them to know that they are the ones who they are searching for and I don’t want to be with each other even though they don’t know. So for this, we both need cooperation. What is your opinion Chairman?" James asked.
Chairman thought for a while.
"If what you said is true then I don’t want them to be together ever even if they aren’t aware of each other."
"So it’s a deal?"
"Yeah deal but don’t ever let Aaron find out about this."
"Don’t worry as I don’t want to be hated by him either."
James said and left the place while Aaron was standing outside of the door with a gloomy face.
"What are you doing here?" James asked.
"That I should ask. What are you doing here and what was the conversation between you and Grandfather?" Aaron asked.
Thank God he didn’t hear anything, James thought.
"Did he hit you?" Aaron asked again.
"No, but are you worried about me? Aww, how sweet I never thought I would have such an adorable brother." James wrapped his hand around his shoulder.
"Who is worrying about you asshole?" Aaron said with an annoyed face.
"But you did worry about me when I was with him. Why are you denying the truth, little brother? Or you are getting shy telling me your true feelings?" James kept on blabbering.
"True feelings? Yeah, my true feelings for you is hatred and yeah I hate you so even if Grandfather would have killed you I don’t care." Aaron said and walked away.
"Who knows maybe you love me the most", James mumbled while he dialled a number.
"Meet me at the evergreen park", he hung up on the call with a sentence.
