Something had been bothering me that day. Things had been complicated since Alexander and Catherine had broke up We were all walking on eggshells, trying to help our friends sort out this mess and move forward. Finally, things between Alexander and Cat were getting resolved. She spent two awful days at home at decided to get back will Alexander and face things head- on, which I thought was great. So I should be feeling at ease, but 1 was not, Something felt off.

Henry had been impossible for many days by then. The was nervous careless, and barely stayed in the office. Thad been giving him space because I thought it was about his father, but I was staring to suspect there was more to it.

Samantha was different too. She sweared she was fine and seemed rally excited about her mom moving out and leaving her the apartment. She had been a rock for Cal, taking care of her all day the office, but something was off. Maybe she was just tired. But I was not sure. That surprise she was planning for Henry – I didn’t well know it she went through with it, she hadn’t mentioned it again.

“You know what? I’m not going to sit here wondering! I got up and went to Henry’s office. “Henry, got a minute?

Sure, Mel, come in.” Henry replied, staring at his phone like it was some allen object.

“What’s wrong?” Lasked.

“What’s wrong with what?” He responded, somewhat distant.

“That look on your face.” I pointed at him and sat down.

“Oh, nothing really, just thought it was weird getting a call from the Social Club manager asking me to come in.”

“Uh–oh, Henry, been misbehaving?” I smiled, knowing the Social Club only called members when they had broken some rules.

“Always thinking the worst of me, aren’t you, Melissa?!”

“Of course, your past condemns you!” I smiled at him.

“Hmm.” He smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “Tell me, what do you need?

“I need to know what’s going on.” I said, and watched Henry turn pale.

“Wh what um… what are you talking about? There it was. Something was definitely up!

“Exactly that!” I pointed at him. “What mess did you get yourself into?”

“Melissa, I…” He was pale as a sheet and couldn’t find the words.

“Come on, Henry, spit it out.” I said harshly, and he trembled.

But he was saved by the bell. Julia burst into the office all flustered,

“Henry, I’m sorry, but your father is causing a scene at the reception.” Julia said, and Henry ran his hand over his face in exasperation.

“What a load of crap! When will this useless man leave me alone?” Henry was furious. He picked up the phone and dialed an extension. “Send two security guards up with Mr. Reynold Martin to my office. Nowhere else, straight to my office.”

Henry hung up the phone and looked into my eyes, irritated. He took a deep breath and spoke again,

“Isn’t it enough, Melissa? This man is hateful!” He tried to control his breathing and calm down. “If you and Julia want to leave to avoid meeting him, feel free.”

“No, Henry, I’m going to help you kick his butt,” I said and held his hand.

It didn’t take long for the security guards to arrive with Reynold Martin, who was ranting. Henry met him at the reception and

asked the security guards to stay close.

“What do you want now, Reynold?” Henry asked, and I could tell needed to gather a lot of patience for this.

“You know what I want, you brat!” Reynoldspat with rage dripping in his volée.

And I’ve already told you I won’t give it to you,” Henry replied stily and directly.

“I’m going to crush you, you insolent kid. Always defying me, always interfering, always thinking you’re better than me, but you’re not!” Reynold spoke, and 1 had never seen anyone so petty in my life. “I’m going to take everything from you, and I’ve already started.” He gave a demonic smile.

“What’s he talking about, Henry?” 1 asked.

“Nothing important,” Henry responded siniply. “Do everyone a favor and leave, you creep!”

“No, I won’t. I’m staying, and I’m going to take this company from you! What do you think, that you can match my strength? You can’t. I’m going to get into your sister’s head, and she’ll put all her shares in my name, and you know she does everything for me, that idiot, so needy for daddy’s attention. With that, I’ll have a lovely seat on the company board, and I’ll manipulate everyone to turn against you, and when you least expect it, I’ll drive you out of here.”

Right at that moment, the elevator had opened, and Hebe stepped out, in time to hear the horror her father had spoken. Thick tears were falling from her eyes, and I felt an enormous hatred for this imbecile. I looked at Henry, and it was clear he was measuring what to say, his eyes fixed on his sister, who was standing behind their father, so I decided to take control of the situation

“What a despicable little man you are!” I said coldly. “If you can even be called a man. You’re nothing but a disgusting, opportimistic worm. Thank goodness Henry and Hebe have an extraordinary mother who raised them well, and they’re nothing Like you.”

“And who do you think you are, you little tramp?” Reynold focused his insults on me. “Just because you’re from an important family, you think you’re somebody? Well, you’re not – you’re nothing but a spoiled linle slut!”

“Keep barking! Your insults don’t affect me because your opinion theans nothing to me!” I said, stepping closer to him. “Now listen very carefully to what I’m about to tell you. Security will throw you out on the street, and don’t you dare even pass by this building ever again. Don’t you dare harass your children or granddildren ever again, because one more dirty trick from you and that fat monthly allowance you receive will stop hitting your account, and you’ll end up begging for pennies outside some church. And before you try anything, rest assured I have the power to make that happen! GOT IT?” 1 shouted the last word in his face as he looked at me, terrified.

“Who do you think you are?” He glared at me with rage.

“Melissa Larson! I’m sure my reputation precedes me.” I said with complete confidence. “And I can even make you disappear. Want to test me?”

“You’re crazy!” Reynold said, shrinking back.

pot out o

t of the mental hospital last week. Another reason why you shouldn’t try to mess with me. You know the “Completely! Just got Larsons can crush you like a cockroach.” I knew very well the power and connections my family had and would use if necessary.

Hebe walked over and stood beside me, her face streaked with tears, looking at her own father with horror, evident disappointment, and hurt.

never thought you were like this. This despicable person everyone talks about. I always refused to see it because you’re my father…” Hebe sniffled. “But what I just witnessed here was more than enough for me to believe you’re much worse than what everyone says. Don’t ever set foot in my house again and don’t try to contact me or my family. My father is dead – you’re just a man I despise now.”

Hebe turned her back and walked toward Henry’s office. But the wretch didn’t know when to shut up and started to speak,

I knew he was about to say something terrible to her, so I grabbed him by the collar and slammed him against the wall, squeezing his neck.

“Don’t you dare!” I said through gritted teeth. “Henry, can I have this idiot th

out?”

“You should, Melissa. Thank you!” Henry turned his back and walled toward his sister.
