Chapter 26 - Forget

Kelly was at a loss. She looked towards Calhoun for help but he didn't look like he wanted to_ I mean he was just standing there at the porch, hands in pockets enjoying the breath taking scene that was unfolding; typical Calhoun.

Truth be told, Calhoun ordered Gavin set free as a parting gift for Amyra. Gavin really meant no harm_ and neither did he. He just wanted her to make a new friend.

Amyra hid behind Kelly. It would never harm her as long as she was with Kelly_ so she thought.

'Do something!' Amyra urged Kelly.

'Okay, I'm thinking. Yes! Calhoun!' Amyra couldn't tell what Kelly meant by all the little nothings she was murmuring to herself. 'Run!'

'Huh?' Amyra was still in confusion when Kelly grabbed her by the wrist and sprinted towards Calhoun before hiding behind him. the Samoyed shifted its attention from them towards Calhoun and the finally got a breather.

'Why is he out at a time like this? Who let him out anyway?'

'He's been locked up for so long I just figured he needed a walk.' Calhoun replied, innocently patting the Samoyed rewardingly on the head as if thanking him for a job well done.

'Can I leave now? And please do not try anything on me this time.' Amyra was pissed at herself for the way she reacted earlier_ she didn't have to give him that satisfaction. Calhoun thought she would have second thoughts, he wanted her to stop but she didn't. How he hated the feeling of powerlessness.

Amyra walked hurriedly towards the gate. There was a kind of attention she commanded when she walked that could effortlessly make heads turn especially right now when her derrière bounced with each step.

Calhoun shamelessly fixed his eyes on her derrière which made him get a hard on instantly_his breath hitched.

Kelly was too busy waving goodbye to Amyra's back she didn't notice her brother ogling at her.

Amyra's movement stopped when she was stopped by the guards.

'Who are you to stop me? Didn't you see, he also let me leave.' What was wrong with everyone in this place? The guards in question looked at their boss and with a silent nod from him, they let her go_ It fascinated her the way they had a tacit understanding with their boss as if they could communicate telepathically.

The moment she moved out of those gates, Amyra found it hard to believe she was breathing good air again. she planned to leave Valencia immediately and go somewhere that man would never bother her and her mom again. Treu could fend for himself. If she could choose to erase memories, she'd choose her memories of that week.

…The Shelby family was considerably huge and chaotic. They were all power hungry beasts so you could not expect them to stay under the same roof. The family head took the main residence while the others took the western, eastern, northern and southern residences. Rzher had always been bothered by the fact that that imbecile had to take her son, Gavin's position. He is just a lowly bastard from some dirty mistress! Gavin himself was too dumb to deal with and Kevin_ he only knew how to create trouble.

Currently, old Shelby was down with an illness and was being nursed at Rzher's who was occupying the eastern residence.

Eastern residence...

Rzher had just given old Shelby his afternoon medication when Kevin arrived.

'Ma! Ma! Ma!'

'My sweet son.' Rzher welcomed Kevin with a warm smile and kissed his face.

'stop embarrassing me!' Kevin was practically cringing.

'Embarrassing you? Did you ever think of it while you were being unfilial to me? Huh?' Rzher flew into a rage and started smacking him.

'When was the last time you came to check on your own mother?'

'Okay ma sorry. I'll be seeing your face anyway now that I'm here.'

'Anyways what would you like to eat? I'll have it prepared immediately.'

Kevin smiled sheepishly. 'Anything.' he answered then added, 'BTW how is father doing these days?'

'still the same; nothing much has changed he just sleeps more often.' 

Everyone was worried about old Shelby's health. Kevin entered his father's room. He seemed to have aged a lot faster than his actual age. Whiled he looked weak and fragile right now, he still wielded the highest power in Scorpion. Fezco was not to be trifled with and it was mostly because of his iron rule that Scorpion was at that point.

He chose Calhoun, his favorite son who was also illegitimate as his heir for reasons best known to him.

Kevin was closer to his mom because his dad spent most of the time busy with business or honing Calhoun into the person he wanted him to be. While he was much younger, he didn't get the pressure Gavin and Calhoun had growing up. He had always been his mother's most pampered.

So yeah, even though seeing his dad like that had never been his wish, he was not bothered even when he tried to be. It was like forcing himself to act a character that didn't suit him.
