SIGNING IN: BEING SHOWERED BY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS FOR FIVE YEARS
Chapter 85 - 83

Chapter 85: Chapter 83

BELMORE CITY

"Are you going to keep on staring at me like that? It’s not like I haven’t apologized!" a young man complained as he nervously looked at the older man who didn’t look very happy with how his brows were furrowed deeply.

Hearing that shameless statement for the umpteenth time, Kian, who was still upset after what Charlie did back in Srad, intensified his glare without saying anything.

His actions made Charlie flinch as he bundled himself on the couch, not daring to move or say anything again.

Seeing Charlie cowering like a coward, Kian felt defeated. He raised his hand in helplessness as he massaged his temples, trying his best to calm himself down. Something he had been doing relentlessly for the past three days.

"You better behave this time. If I see you in Iwarim the next year, I promise you that I will throw you somewhere far away so that no one will find you. So, if you treasure yourself much, then don’t let me see you anywhere. Do you understand?" Kian suddenly warned Charlie, as he was still angry at him.

When Charlie heard that from Kian’s mouth, reality finally dawned on him. ’I messed up big time!’

But it was already too late now, as he could tell that Kian was serious and wasn’t joking.

He could tell that he was very angry, but for his sake, he was doing his best to rein his anger. Charlie, at times like these, knew when to stop to save his skin. So, like the obedient boy he was acting as, he nodded his head in compliance, as he was afraid that if he were to speak, he would expose himself.

He wasn’t the type to follow instructions, after all.

Kian saw that but didn’t bother much, as the method he had just used would work for some time and that was enough for him to salvage the situation that Charlie left him in.

Unwilling to say anything to Charlie anymore, Kian picked up his suit jacket and left the room cool.

Kian’s issue with Charlie started on the night when he escorted Diamond to the reunion party.

Everything was going perfectly well. Diamond was winning, and they were clicking.

With the way they were talking, Kian was confident that Diamond was slowly starting to fall for him, and that was good news.

He wanted to be a perfect gentleman and be with her all the way. But who would have known that Charlie of all people would get into trouble that forced his twin brother to call him despite it being the wrong time?

Sullivan couldn’t do anything to help, as that would expose him.

So, the best way to solve Charlie’s problem was by bailing the young man out personally.

And that forced him to leave the party early with Diamond. Instead of finishing the date romantically as he wanted, he managed to leave a not-so-happy Diamond that night. And now he needed to wait for a while before he could see her again.

Charlie went out parting to some club and offended someone that he shouldn’t.

Charlie was hot-tempered, so it wasn’t that shocking when Kian had to go to the police station where he bailed Charlie out using his connections.

Just because he was an introvert didn’t mean that he was a pushover. His connections were plenty, and all it took was a single phone call.

However, the fact that Charlie went around to cause unnecessary trouble really placed him and Sullivan in a very awkward situation.

Kian hated going to Belmore City the most, as that was the place where he was born and raised.

He used to have good memories of that place, but his mother’s death changed everything.

His father remarried Charlie’s mother, and that woman was no good. Just like any selfish woman and mother, she preferred her children over them. So, they never had it easy, and since his father was inclined to his new wife, Kian started hating the place more.

However, for the sake of returning Charlie safely home since his father had heard of his actions, he was forced to return.

And since he allowed Charlie to follow him back then, he was obliged to make sure that he was home safely. However, doing so would mean that he had to face his father and stepmother, the two people whom he didn’t want to see the most.

So, the sooner he left the house, the better it was for him. Unfortunately for him, the people that he wanted to avoid were waiting patiently for him downstairs.

Kian glared at his stepmother; the woman who remarried into the family pregnant with Charlie thirteen years ago.

Seeing her avoiding his gaze, he then coldly shifted to his father, who seemed to be aging as each day passed by before looking away.

"Kian!" his father suddenly yelled at him, forcing him to look back at the old man.

"What?" he asked without an ounce of respect in his tone as he continued to take the stairs down.

Sean looked at Kian as his body trembled violently with rage, still not used to how cold his son was.

"You .... Don’t you know how to respect your elders?" Sean asked angrily as he pointed at Kian.

Upon hearing that, Kian, who was finally done with the stairs and stepped on the floor, burst out laughing.

"Hehe, elders! You mean yourself or that fox of a woman?" Kian asked disgustedly as his gaze shifted to Cecil, Charlie’s mother.

Hearing Kian’s address of his wife, Sean was even more enraged that his eyes were bloodshot.

Seeing him so angry like that, Kian wanted to applaud and jab the man where it hurt the most, despite being fully aware that the man’s health wasn’t good at all. But seeing him suffering like that eased his heart.

His father didn’t deserve to be treated like a father, and since he loved Cecil so much to the extent of disregarding the two of them, then he should only bother with her and leave them out.

"Sean, you better stop having crazy thoughts about us. And if stretch your hands again towards Sullivan, hehe, I will make you lose everything that you cherish dear to your heart. Trust me!" Kian threatened his father mercilessly, without a care of showing filial piety.

He was so done with Sean and didn’t want to have anything to do with him at all.

He had been showing him leniency for so many years and yet the man just kept on pushing him repeatedly by touching Sullivan, the only blood kin that meant the world to him.

"You_"

"Kian! How dare you say that to your father?" Cecil, who had been cowering in a corner one second ago, suddenly mustered her courage and yelled upon seeing how Sean was acting up.

After being with the man for two decades, Cecil knew her husband very well and his health was slowly deteriorating, which was worrying.

If anything were to happen to him before she got what she wanted, then wouldn’t everything she had done be for naught?

However, who was she trying to provoke?

Without caring about Sean’s state or Cecil’s outburst. Kian ignored the two and left the villa without looking back.

The family didn’t lack money or doctors. That old man wouldn’t be dying anytime soon. So, he wasn’t afraid of anything happening to him.

So, knowing that about his father, Kian left the villa without regrets and didn’t see that Charlie was watching him with a complicated expression through the window.

And even if he knew, Kian would remain biased towards Sullivan than Charlie.

It wouldn’t be surprising if they were betrayed by him by the way he loved hovering around them like a spirit.

Kian drove his car out of the Darks courtyard and started heading toward the neighborhood where his house was.

Despite his hatred for the city, it didn’t mean that he and Sullivan didn’t have a place there.

There was a house that their mother left for them, and whenever they were in Belmore, Kian, and his twin would stay at that place.

Since Sullivan was a celebrity and had been in the entertainment industry for over a decade, he settled in the capital while Kian settled in Iwarim.

On his way to his mother’s place, he couldn’t help but recall his conversation with Diamond on the phone earlier.

A smile appeared on his cold face, spreading the heat into the car.

His life had been bright ever since he saw Diamond that day at the airport. It was as if he had gone through many hardships so that she would appear and make his life better.

Even Sullivan was smitten by her. If their mother was still alive, Kian believed that she would be very happy for them.

Although society would scorn them for their taste and choices, she would be better that their brotherhood and bond wouldn’t be torn apart because of women.

So many families were broken because of that, and his mother had always been worried about that.

That was one of the reasons why back then the four of them made such a silly promise and now it seemed that the promise had a purpose and would soon be in effect.

And now what remained was to find a way to convince Diamond to the idea of sharing and make her love it.

Would she be willing to do that for him, though?

It was stressful to think about it, but he just hoped that no one would get hurt in the process because of it.

There was still time, and he was a very patient man. And there was no way he was going to give up easily without trying and giving it his all.

His mother didn’t teach him that way.
