Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1084

Alivia had no idea where this guy was taking her; she just followed along, ending up in front of a sleek mansion. Kenzo didn't offer a hand, just strolled right in. Inside, a middle-aged man was engrossed in a book, his brow furrowing at Kenzo's return. The moment he noticed Alivia, his face darkened. "Why'd you bring someone from Beaconsfield here?"

Panic crept into the professor's voice as he hurried forward. "If you start making decisions on your own, those people will be pissed."

Before the words fully landed, a gun was pressed against his forehead. The professor's pupils shrank in disbelief.

"If you don't care about her well-being, why should I? I've been tangled in her mess for far too long, Father. So long that my patience is running out." A smirk curled Kenzo's lips as he tapped the gun against the professor's forehead. "I'm sorry, but you and Grandpa have been utterly useless."

"Have you lost your mind? Don't forget, your mother's still in their hands," he stammered.

For years, the professor had kept Kenzo under his thumb, dictating his every move because Kenzo's mother was held hostage. Despite being his own flesh and blood, the professor showed no concern. He used his son for his own ends, even sending him to the Barnes family right after birth. When Kenzo was old enough to think for himself, he was told that his true identity could cost him his life if discovered.
