Chapter 80
For one week, Kage was unreachable by his family. He remained in the apartment with Sylvie where they bonded better than before.
Sylvie had so much fun with him, she wished it could last forever.
But by the end of the week, he finally went home.
He walked into his family's mansion where they all waited for him in the living room. He'd already informed them of his coming, and like hungry wolves, they'd been waiting for his arrival. "Kage," Sam began, his deep voice laced with simmering anger, "Where on earth have you been!? Do you realize how worried you left us? How can you ignore us all these..."
"I needed to be alone," he cut in, taking a seat on the couch.
They scoffed at his nonchalant attitude.
"Were you even thinking at all?" Elizabeth snapped, leaning forward. "You've disgraced us all! Do you have any idea what this has cost us?"
"What exactly?" Kage glanced at her. "The company's not suffering any loss, is it?"
Fortunately, it didn't. Fluxpoint had gotten to a point where such matters hardly affected it.
But it didn't stop people from talking.
"Kage, what
you
did was wrong. You abandoned
your fiancée at the altar like she
was some disposable-"
"She was disposable," Kage cut in coolly, his voice calm but unyielding. "I won't marry someone I don't want to spend the rest of my
life with. Is that so hard to understand?"
"Yes, it is," Griffin interjected sharply, rising from his seat. "You made a promise, Kage. To Lana and to this family. Breaking it like this-publicly-is unacceptable."
Kage's gaze swept over each of them, calm and composed, as if their anger were no more than a slight annoyance. Then his eyes settled on his mother who had been silent so far.
When she spoke, her voice was soft, but there was steel beneath the surface. "Fix it, Kage. "You're the heir to this family. It's your duty to maintain the legacy your grandfather built. You need to make this right.". "Make it right?" He scoffed. "What does that even mean, Mother? You want me to go crawling back to Lana? Beg her to take me back so I can spend the rest of my life in another loveless, miserable relationship?" "Yes! Because it's the right thing to..."
"Look, I didn't come here for this, and I'm done with this conversation!" He stood up. "But you must know, I need you to stay away from Sylvie and her father." He directed his gaze to his aunts and uncles. "know what happened. I know you threatened her into leaving me. But what you did the last time, it's definitely going to be the last thing you ever do to her."
Phoebe scoffed. "What're you talking ab-"
"Don't try to play dumb with me. I know what happened, and the only reason I'm letting it go is because we're family. But I wouldn't tolerate it again, mum. From you or anyone else. Stay away from Sylvie."
He started towards the door. They all watched in shock.
