SIXTY TWO

The deafening silence that followed our explosive conversation caused a chill down my spine because it was the end of a journey that hadn't even begun. He had just kicked us out of his house and out of his life like we meant nothing to him.

I had only known him for a few months however the wound he left was bigger than any of us had ever anticipated. But his threat did not fall on deaf ears

We were easily disposable in his life when he had become the centre of our world. But l didn't want to prompt him to act on his word because intoxicated or not, there was an underlying  truth to his word 

He could and would if the situation required fight to take Akai away from me because of the power he had. The company was no longer fully in his control which gave me leverage over the situation.
