Chapter 23
The silence in the dining room is sponsored by the announcement that just came out of Matter’s lips.
Everyone is too stunned to say a word since they were not expecting him in ever make than statement.
“I don’t understand what you mean by that, what shares are you talking about” Kyler firstly said, too stunned to shake out the word that she had just
heard.
This was something they all feared, this was something he avosded so much.
When he said he wanted to bring it out it sounded more than right to me, it was ab
was abusit time.
“What do you mean by that?” Mr. Rodriguez asked after another silence had befallen the place.
Matteo is still standing, his hand on the table, and he looks as serious as Llave ever seen him lonk before.
Before now, he was always mean, he would rather not have anything to do with anyone in the family, and he always make sure that they Know
about it
Which is why this is coming as a surprise to everyone.
““Just as I said, it’s time for me to get a hold of my share in the family company. He announced yet again
This time around Kyler stood from her chair, she was looking at her husband waiting for him to say a word before she reacted.
Her body is moving fast, her mind by now is racing so hard and fast that she doesn’t know what to do with this newfound information.
“You said you didn’t want to have anything to do with Laskay. His father said, dropping his hand to the jaw as he looked at him.
“Exactly, he said it with his mouth before he walked out of the family business, he said he didn’t want to have anything to do with the business, so what the hell is he saying again” Her voice rose as she shouted right to his face.
“I am not talking to you, woman, know when to keep it shut and sit the fuck down” Mr. Rodriguez shouted, looking furious and straight at Kyler.
She looked both mad and like she wanted to throw something at her husband, but as expected, she kept standing even as she didn’t say a word.
“Now speak” He said, referring to Matteo,
to say because he didn’t speak immediately!
Who had his sweet time reasoning up what he wanted to say b
His hand is on his wristwatch, turning it round as he stands there. I noticed it was something he did when he wanted to think, which is what he was doing right now.
“I know that I wanted to keep away from the family company after of course several invitations, going through the files I see the loss that it is making, and now I’m deciding to be an active member of it” He said addressing everyone.
A heavy scoff sound is heard from Kyler, even as her son is very much silent as he keeps talking.
“What I decide to do and how I decide to do it has always been based on me and what I want, now I am keen to join the company” He fished speaking and sat back down.
“You have your own company, you left and established yours, what do you mean by what you are saying right now!” she asked in disbelief before looking at her husband, “Honey, can you listen to what he is saying right now?”
Mr. Rodriguez is silent as ever, knowing him, he was allowing the words to sink into his head before he could say anything to refute or acknowledge
Even as Kyler is busy shouting and making all allegations against him.
“We will talk about this later, not right now,” Mr. Rodriguez fully said before he stood up.
“Don’t tell me you are considering what he said, honey, don’t tell me that.” She shouted right to her husband, who didn’t spare her a glance as he walked away.
“You don’t know what Maneo
yiều are talking about, I don’t want you in that company, I don’t fucking want you close to that place.” She shouted after
Who had skipped out from the dining, he reached out his hand. I took it as we both were stepping out of the house since this was the end of the dinner.

Chapter 23
“Can I have a word with you?” Eric said, making the both of us stop.
Even though he was trying so hard to keep his cool, the way he clenched his fist, and the rigid way his body is stiff right now, shows that he wasn’t holding in the anger as much as he was pretending not to.
“Of course,” Matteo said before looking at me. “Wait for me in the car, okay?”
I nodded and skipped my way out of the house until I got to where the car had been packed.
Pressing my hand, I am waiting for him as 1 stand there.
“You.” I heard, and then she was in front of me. “I don’t care what you have said to him, he better knows what he is playing with.” She said with the sudden hostage she had in her voice.
a
“I don’t think I can change the way a person acts or thinks” Crossing my hand, I said to her.
She scoffed.
“You have always had eyes for bigger things, no matter how much you tried to hide that, I could see it clearly in your eyes. I should have prevented that when it was close by”
We
She couldn’t hide the hatred in her voice, couldn’t hide the fact that they were making her so pressed, and she hated me with everything that spoke in her.
I always cared about how to please a person like her, but now I can always do what I want and most importantly, say what I want.
“I don’t care how you feel about me, we all know you never really liked me anyway, but let me make this clear, stop fucking harassing me.” I said right to her face, making sure that she didn’t see even the twitch in my eyes.
We both are looking at each other, lost in the hatred that boomed inside there, lost in the words that are so loud
yer so unsaid.
son, Matteo is going to get himself away from you” She spit.
“Whatever you did, just know that it is not going to last, and just like my so
I scoffed
“You got that wrong, your son didn’t get away from me. I decided to leave him, and even if Fhadn’t, he wouldn’t have divorced me right now. And by the way, he isn’t worth anything. The most useless of them I have ever seen,”
With my words still hard in her face, with the words landing in her ears, I walked to the other side of the car, opened the door, and got into the car
She was still standing there, I could see her lips moving but did not hear a sound, since I had chosen to lock her outside.
After some minutes, the door of the car opened and Matteo got inside.
His first instinct was to look at me.
“Are you alright?” He asked.
I nodded and gave him a side smile as I reassured him.
“Let’s get away from here, then?” He said, and I quickly nodded, as he started the car and drove out of the compound, leaving the noise that we hund
left behind us. ”
