Days passed by and Kyle continued to visit his father at least thrice every week since he was sent to the head prison of the capital city. However, his father refused to see him every time he went and the same was the result that day too, he still did not agree to see him even that day.

  "I'm sorry but he refuses to see you," the guard relayed apologetically. Kyle heaved a long deep sigh and nodded before he handed the meal he brought and told the guard, "Can you please give it to him?"

  The guard nodded. Kyle once again left the prison with dropped shoulders. He wanted to talk to his father after that incident but he did not get a chance because his father would always refuse to see him.

  He wanted to apologize to him as a son who failed to protect and stand by his side.

  'He hates me…' he helplessly thought as he turned around and walked toward his car in the parking lot. He was hoping that a day would come where his father would understand the reason behind his actions. He cared a lot for him as his son and he would not want him to continue to walk on the wrong path.

  Inside his car, his mobile phone beeped and Kyle sighed as he stared at the notification on the screen. He was receiving a lot of messages and calls from various firms trying to poach him to join their firms.

  He again left a long sigh…… because he could no longer decide where to go…


  If he could, he would love to just stay at Lana's company and assist her with legal matters but then he knew it was not possible.

  It was almost dark when he was back on the city road and so he stopped by a resto-bar to eat and drink a bit. He decided to drink himself numb and would just call for a driver to drop him off after that.

  He felt so frustrated that he ended up drinking a lot and got drunk so he called for a driver to pick him up.

  ******

  Sarah just got off from work and she felt so tired that she wanted to be teleported directly to her bedroom and jump on her bed. It was already nine in the evening and here she was yet to go out from her office.

  'I don't even have time to socialize!" she mumbled annoyingly, wondering when would Lana's sister get tired of giving her so much work.

  She was already inside her car when her mobile phone rang. She immediately answered seeing it was Kyle, thinking it could be something important.

  Mumbled in a"Hello?"

  "Yeah pick me up please I'm here at the…" Kyle started talking in his drunken voice.

  "What?! Are you drunk? Hello? Kyle?" Sarah shouted on the other line but she only heard the end call beep from another line.

  "That brute, why is he drinking this time?" she whimpered and quickly stepped on her gas to drive at the place Kyle gave.

  She went inside the resto-bar and saw Kyle immediately so she walked and approached him.

  "Hey, Kyle Grey!!! Do you know what time it is?!!" she nagged because they both agreed not to drink alone since both of them had the tendency to act irrationally when drunk. And here Kyle was on his own when he could drink in his apartment instead or bring a friend with him.

  Kyle turned and his forehead creased as he whispered, "What are you doing here?"

  "Excuse me?! You called me to pick you up!" Sarah said with gritted teeth and raised eyebrows.

  Before Sarah could fire another scolding Kyle suddenly passed out. She rolled her eyes at his action and asked the waiters to help her put Kyle inside her car. Inside the car, she annoyingly clicked her tongue as she leaned forward to grab the seat belt to secure Kyle.

  She was securing it on Kyle when the latter suddenly moved and pulled her nape for a kiss.

  She could taste the alcohol on him but for some reason, she did not hate it. She didn't struggle to break the kiss but surprisingly she found herself responding to his demanding lips and tongue at that moment.

  'What's going on? What's wrong with me?!' Sarah confusedly wondered. The kiss deepened and she just felt herself drowning in a foreign sensation she had never felt before. She panicked so much that she managed to abruptly push Kyle and then slap him.

  To her horror, Kyle just passed out again.

  Sarah drove directly to her apartment and once again asked one of the building guards to help her bring Kyle into her place and bedroom. It was like Deja Vu where she once again removed his shoes and socks.

  She sat on the side of the bed to check his neck and she unconsciously smiled. He was wearing a polo shirt and it was already unbuttoned so no need for her to touch it and make sure he was breathing comfortably.

  She was about to get up from her seat when she felt Kyle's hard grip on her wrist, pulling her beside him and hugging her again from behind like a pillow. This time his hug was not so tight so she was able to turn to face and confront him.

  "You…" she whispered but halted seeing Kyle's eyes were tearing up.

  "He hates me…" he whispered. Sarah's face softened because she could feel Kyle's grief. He longed for his father's love and was willing to do anything to have it however, he was unable to please him in his crucial moment.

  Sarah unconsciously touched his cheek to console him and whispered, "Everything takes time Kyle. You just need to be patient for now."

  Her heart almost skipped a beat when Kyle moved closer and kissed her. She literally felt breathless by how he almost ate her lips, leaving it swollen before he finally pulled back and hugged her closer to his chest.

  "Kyle," she whispered but there was no response except hearing his heavy breathing indicating he was asleep already.

  'Seriously?' she complained inwardly because it was the second time tonight Kyle kissed her then passed out. She wondered if he knew what he was doing or worse if he could even remember everything once he woke up.

  She felt weird and somehow scared, but she fell in deep thought before dozing off.
