Their End, My Beginning

*Kat’s POV

He seems very tensed, meaning whatever he is going to say is not going to be good but we need to have a talk. I mean he is not the one to be nervous otherwise I don't think he will reach where he have. He is very confident, composed, on the spot decision maker but calm or to put it simply icy, cold CEO who holds powerful aura. So if he is nervous now it means something.

“Yes, we need to talk." I too took a deep breathe to say, "Let’s start with what the hell is going on? I mean you have changed a lot. Looking at me as if I am a stranger?” I began asking so many questions. I couldn’t find it in myself to stop me from asking question that have been taunting me in my head for weeks.

He takes a deep breathe which he has been doing a lot after saying we need to talk. He had his head down which looks like him having a battle in his head and again with a deep sigh he looks straight to my eyes with a determined look in his eyes.

“I missed you. A lot.” He said.

“HUH.” I wasn’t expecting for him to say that. He holds my hands in his and scooted closer to me and looked at me intently, because the surprise might have been on my face. He kept one of my hands in one of his hand and cupped my cheek with his free hand. I leaned into his touch without breaking our eye contact. His touches always made me feel giddy.

“I have never stopped loving you. It’s just I needed to be away from you. I couldn’t let myself be near you when I know that I am not right for you. After the death of my parents I just closed myself off. I did things I never should have done. Having multiple partners. Used woman, played with their hearts. Got deals from pleasures. Worst of all, avoiding you. Acting as if I never saw you. When, in first place if anyone seeing you for the first time will never forget you.” His eyes held so much guilt which made me tear up. But then something caught my attention.

“When your parents… uh…”

“died” he said as if it didn’t affect him but little did, he know or he must have forgot that I could see past his masked face.

“Ry-”

“Don’t. I know what you are thinking and it is true I didn’t get over their death, well if the life I am leading now is of any evidence. But I am getting over it and accepting the fact that they have gone and I can’t do anything. Except get my revenge.” He said the last part at low voice for me not to hear. Though my brain suggested me not to ask him on that, I went with my heart,

“What revenge?”

“Nothing. Its better if you don’t know about that. Sometimes not knowing the truth won’t hurt you. Its safe for you if you don’t know about that.” I had to have a battle with myself to not bother him from asking any further on that. I had a feeling that I would very soon know what he is saying.

“Okay. Anyways what I was about to ask you was, where were you? After we heard the news of their demise, we tried to contact you. But all your contacts were cut off. We even gave news saying you were missing. You have no idea how worried we were about you. You didn’t have to close yourself off. You had us. We thought you at least would come for the funeral but even for that you weren’t present. We tried every method to get you. Calls, mails, letters. Name it we have done it. Though we did file a missing case we didn’t get you. Where the hell were you?” I said throwing out all the worries we had on him.

“I knew about the case it was I who diverted the case by bribing, that’s why you couldn’t get me. I did hear all the voicemails you and your parents send me but I didn’t answer them. I felt it was right thing to do at that time. I don’t know what came over me but I felt cutting all the ties off was the best thing to do. I felt being cold, heartless person as they call me, I could grow my father’s business. I felt my emotions were my weakness and only if I be emotionless will I be able to thrive in this business game. Little did I know how much of a monster I would be if I do that. After doing all those things it was my guilt that made me push you away.” He said with tears in his eyes making me teared up.

“I even did something terrible. I made a man's business go bankrupt.” That made me very confused over the fact if he had changed so much to even go to the length of destroying a family.

“The man because of the shock even took his life.” He said with so much guilt in his eyes. Suddenly I remembered something.

“What was his name. I mean the man’s?” I asked.

Though it was a shock they were glad because Keith was not a nice man, he used to abuse his wife and children after drinking. And it was his drinking that caused his business to be on the brink of bankruptcy. Even if you didn’t

Not to forget about the fact that you took that already destroyed company to great heights and kept his wife and kids still a shareholder. So, the kids have the power to take over the company and moreover with the profit you got from that company you did a scholarship program and again by coincidence and their hard work they got that money. So basically, you helped the family and not

the news was not completely correct and that made me research. Mrs. Gardener is very happy and grateful for you to take over the company and it was Keith’s cowardness that made him take that decision. Anyway, they tried to meet you to express their gratitude but like always you were unapproachable. I think you should go meet them. I know that even after me telling you all this you won’t be satisfied and will
