Chapter 7

Silas POV

I looked around and smiled. Mum had called a few minutes ago to inform me of her progress. We were gaining ground. I envisioned my self as the CEO of Frostbite company. It will no longer be President Kelvin but President Silas. That sounds good. I wanted Kelvin out of the way at all costs. A brilliant idea occurred to me and I picked my phone to make a call. The call connected almost immediately.

"Sophia,I have a task for you", I said without preamble.

" Okay sir. What is it?",she asked loyally.

I gave my orders in a minute and waited for her response.

"Sir, I...I…", she stammered.

" You what? Are you about declining? Have you forgotten the rules so soon?"

"No sir, I am sorry". I sighed and ended the call. I smiled to my self and waited for the outcome.

Patrick's POV

I looked through a stack of files but I couldn't find what I was looking for. I was looking for documents containing the double faced transactions I carried out years back. On the surface, it seemed clean and normal like every other document. Jane's threats were never empty. And I knew that. I searched for twenty minutes and I found what I was looking for. I took it happily and went to a chair. I looked around the office. It was neat and well arranged. Kelvin had regard for neatness and I could trust his managerial skills.

The door opened and Kelvin walked in.

" Good morning Dad", he greeted.

"Morning. How are you?"

"Very fine dad. Emmn… is there a problem? I mean, you could have told me to get what ever it was for you", he asked watching me closely.

" Well, I decided to come my self.", I replied trying to avoid arousing suspicion. He said nothing as he sat down.

Kelvin's POV

I drove to the company with my driver. I ran in and took the elevator. I met my assistant and he nodded. I knew Dad was still in. I opened the door and walked in. He was sitting on a chair and flipping a file. I hoped he hadn't seen anything.

Good morning Dad", I greeted.

"Morning. How are you?"

"Very fine dad. Emmn… is there a problem? I mean, you could have told me to get what ever it was for you", I asked studying him.

" Well, I decided to come my self.", came the reply. I decided to let the sleeping dog lie. I looked at the file and realized it wasn't mine. I heaved a sigh of relief.

Working with dad wasn't a big deal. We got along well and I worked with him for two years before he handed the company over to me. The office was silent save for the flipping of papers and the noise of pen scribbling on paper. After some time, dad stood up and left.

When I was certain he had left the company, I called my friend and driver. "Victor?"

"Sir"

"Bring the car to the entrance let's go"

"Ahhh. Kel, so soon? ", he asked. He alone called me Kel. I smiled when I heard that.

" I am tired and father has gone.", I finished and shut the door. I got to the entrance and met Victor waiting diligently and dutifully. I smiled at him. "Let's go see Camilla."

"Mmmmmm" Camilla? It's no longer Kelvin? " he asked eyeing me curiously.

"Hey. Can we go and not start all of these?", I replied immediately. I got into the car after that.

" Love in the air…", Victor began.

"Stop that. Don't tease me. I don't love her". I said with a tone of finality. That did the magic and Victor was quiet.

We took a few turns and after a while, we got to Camilla's work place. Victor suggested we go there since it was working hours and she most likely won't be home. She came out to see me visibly angry.

" What is it?", she asked not bothering to hide the anger in her voice. I stared at her for some seconds. This girl was always driving me crazy.

"Mr Frost", she called in anger jolting me back to reality. I looked her again and said nothing. She sighed and made to walk away. I pulled her back and she fell into my arms. She was shocked and I felt her body stiffen. She struggled to break free but I held her.

" Can't you see I am at work? Do you want me to lose my job?"

"I can always find a replacement"

"No, thank you", she said curtly. She continued," why can't you let me be? I have explained… "

I didn't let her finish. I placed my hands on her lips. "I want you".

" What? Please, stay away from me, Mr Frost".

"If you want me gone, let me have my son", I said watching her closely.

" You are not taking him away from me. And that's final".

Her courage surprised me. I smiled. "Why don't we wait and see?"

Her eyes widened and she realized the hidden meaning. She lost her initial courage and took to begging. Her son was her Achilles heel.

"Kelvin.."

I smiled. It was no longer 'Mr Frost'

"....Kelvin please, don't do this", she begged with trembling lips.

" It's weekend next tomorrow. I will be at your place. I want to see my son" I said smiling at her. She was scared stiff. "Go inside", I dismissed her and walked back to the car. "Home", I instructed Victor.

He manoeuvred the car expectly and we hit the road. We travelled in silence until Victor broke it.

" Kel, look at that car"

I was surprised. "Look at which car? Why will you show me a car along the road. Very funny". I turned and looked. I saw a car, just like every other one driving on the road. " What about it", I pressed further.

"Just watch it", was the reply.

I watched the car and there was nothing strange about it. I was about asking Victor what he meant when he said, " whoever is in that car has the intention of causing an accident. He's been following me dangerously. Down the road is a narrow bend. I can't stop now. I will do my best to avoid him, otherwise, brace yourself for an accident".
