Chapter 36 - THIRTY SIX
- KILLIAN -
S received my gift. As expected, it ended nicely. Just the way I wanted it to. S’ reaction pleased me very much then we came to make a deal. Just because he chooses to go behind a mask yet knows who he’s working with doesn’t give him the upper hand.
I’m an Ivanov, with or without They, I will succeed with whatever I am pursuing. I always have and I always will. I wash my face with the water I got in my hand from the sink tap. The past few days have not been nice to me. Liam revealed the accounts of my father’s business and something was wrong. It seems like we’ve been getting robbed under our noses and our father’s legacy was close to bankruptcy. I hate that I have to be here in such a crisis but I have no choice.
I slam my fist on the sink and heard a snap. I must’ve hit it a little too hard. I lowered my gaze and noticed the crack on the sink, it’ll be repaired once it’s noticed anyway. I turned the tap off and stared at my reflection in the mirror. My face is dripping water into the sink and my eyes are fierce. Whoever that asshole is that’s messing with my father’s legacy should run now that he or she has the chance. Because I will do anything to get to that person and no one will hold me back from doing whatever I want.
I took a deep breath and slowly exhaled to cool my head. The fucked up thing about this is I am in this fucking university! And I have to walk out of this restroom and pretend that I love my ’job’ while coaching a bunch of students for a tournament that I couldn’t care less about. My brows creased in frustration.
Well, the good thing about this is that Liam is there. He’s handling everything while I do my thing over here. I can count on him and I made him swear that once he finds this leech, he will report back to me immediately. I will take care of that insect myself.
I cracked my neck to both sides. A lazy stretch followed. I won’t fake a smile, but I can definitely hide how I feel. It’s already something I’m used to. Letting my darkness swallow me in till I can’t feel anything anymore.
Another thing I worry about are those agents of S that I butchered. I ensured I found every one of them and they all claimed they had not reported anything to S yet, meaning nothing about a certain woman staying in my house and sharing my bed with me but I can’t trust that. I still have to dig deeper. They’re all a bunch of snakes. Asami including.
My finger nails pricked my palm and I loosened my fist. It’s best not to think about anything alarming at the moment. For my sake at least. I exhaled and head toward the exit with a bland expression on my face.
