"Well, you have to find a way or I am afraid what we have will have to end here and you can kiss goodbye to becoming the next king, to be honest, your brother has more chance which is why I asked to see him too,"
he revealed. Oh, the sneak old man was saying all these to reel me up, I hated his sneakiness so much, and what? He gave Jordan a chance? What does he think Jordan has that gave him more power than me? I couldn't even think of something that made that idiot better than I am.
"You are allowed to say what you want, it is your help, you can choose not to help me, I honestly don't want to be involved with your daughter in any way,"
I said.
"You know, I don't see you as the type to give up that easily, your brother might have more advantage than you but if you work hard enough you can get what you want, on the other hand, if you give up, you might have to live under the shadow of your brother for life,"
he let out. He had a way of talking that made everything he says offensive, I get it now why Arielyn couldn't stand him.
"I don't see how I am going to live under my brother's shadow, even if I don't become the king, this is not the olden days, I am my own boss,"
I responded still with a polite voice.
''You can just do as I say and get Barrie to start working in the hospital I built for her and make her want to stay back here and we will be good.
He let out, I already figured out Barrie was Arielyn because that's the same name he had called her before he had given us her contact last time.
"I can't do that sir, thank you for calling for me and for the contact, I will take my leave now,"
I said and stood up to leave.
"Oh brother,"
I heard Jordan call, he was seated in the dining room and was eating, he must have been there earlier when I passed, I just didn't notice, I didn't know he was this close to George that he was eating here now, it was clear he was being favored, I mean when has he not been favored? While I worked hard to do my shits myself, Jordan had all he owns thanks to our father helping him out, I didn't get this same and I don't mind. I chose to ignore him and kept walking but he followed me, talking nonsense.
"Why are you still stubbornly trying? Isn't it obvious that you are headed for failure?"
He said in his ever so annoying voice, I stopped for a moment and turned to him.
"I have no intentions of stopping, stop talking to me,"
I told him.
"Oh dear brother, if I were you I would give up already, you seem to be doing all the work while I enjoy the benefits,"
Jordan pointed out and I ignored him, and continued walking again. I had better things to do than spend my time in his presence.
"Walking away like a coward again? Just admit that you are losing and my offer is still open, just save us both from this stress,"
He called out after me but I just kept walking away. He was right about me doing all the work and him getting the benefits but that won't keep happening, I am going to make sure of it. I got into my car and drove towards my house instead of going back to the office. I wanted to speak with Arielyn first as I might not see her awake when I come back later. I walked into the house and met Raul in the living room. One other person that has been using Arielyn, I wonder how he would feel when she finally leaves, he is so attached to her already.
"Raul, where is she?"
I asked and he silently pointed upstairs, mudafucker was still giving me the cold shoulder, so I walked upstairs and knocked on her door.
"Come in,"
She yelled from inside and I opened the door. She was seated on the couch with her laptop in front of her, probably watching a movie. She closed her laptop when she saw me.
"It is you, I thought it was Raul,"
She said as she straightened herself.
"Yeah, I dropped by to say thank you,"
I said and she nodded.
"My dad called you?"
"Yes, you didn't have to,"
I told her and she finally looked up at me and frowned.
"I did what I needed to do but I am not going back there,"
she responded. She was getting it all wrong.
"Arielyn? You didn't have to do it is all I am saying and I am not asking you to go back there or do as your father said, I will figure something out by myself,"
I said
"I had to, all I needed to do was go see my dad, you were already losing your mind and I knew if I don't step in you will,"
She replied. I knew she meant well but now her biggest fear and the reason she had not wanted to go see her dad happened. I couldn't bring myself to tell her what her dad said, just thinking about it made me mad, he was using me to get to her while using her against me.
"You shouldn't have, I made it clear you didn't have to. Thank you for trying to help, I will take it from here,"
I said and she nodded, I should leave and go back to work, the energy in the room wasn't right but I just stood there.
"Do you have something else you want to tell me? What did Dad say? Did he agree to help? I am sorry, we ended up fighting again and I couldn't get him to agree to help you,"
She said and bowed her head, if only she knew what the crazy wolf was asking for.
"Yes, you did well, thank you for helping,"
I said and turned to leave.
"You are lying, my going there didn't help, it only made things worse right?"
She asked and I stopped on my track and turned to face her.
"Why would you think that?"
I asked.
"I can tell you know, I may not be a mind reader but I can tell when shits are not okay, you obviously don't look relaxed and something is bothering you, if my dad offered to help, you won't look like that because his help is something huge and it is enough to lift your mood,"
She said which was spot on, I let out a tired sigh.
