Kevin Grant

Chapter 26: Kevin Grant

Argon and Kevin is sitting face to face after Sir Francis left his office.

One by one he is beginning to realized what he have done, Kevin knows to himself that it wasn't just because Viewbay is going red but of a different reason.

Argon also knew about it and decides to let his brother decide for himself, something that he is regretting up until today.

"They have finally talked" Argon then looked up to face his brother who also looked up to him "Mia and Terrence" he can see that jealousy had flashed into Kevin's eyes.

"I was about to go home last night when I see both of them talking in front of Mia's apartment, You broke them more than enough to keep them apart but at the same time you also broke your connection with her" Argon was only stating the truth, it was the actual driving force that led Kevin to decide to accept Great Records offer.

Kevin kept his silence and was in deep thought, Argon knew that he won't be able to talk to his brother in his current state, a lot have happened in just a day.

"Just find your own happiness Kevin, stop pestering the kids, you have done enough" then Argon went out of his office leaving him all alone.

He know that Argon is right, he have done enough that even Mia realized what he have done, all he needed to that night he went to his apartment was to confess his sin.

Mia was then as calm as water when they started to talk, after what he did 4 years ago that was the first time that he saw her again up close.

That was the only time that she let him near her.

"I know that what happened 4 years ago was partly because of your decision." Mia told him straight to the point.

"I also know what you made Terrence do" Mia looked at him accusingly "that you made him believe that it will be the best for me, that he's protecting me" he got nothing to defend himself.

All that Kevin could do was to keep his silence.

"Now let me make you pay for the sins that you have done to us" he looked into Mia's eyes that is currently full of determination and resolve.

"I'll save your face, your name and your company but in return you won't have a say on anything that will come across your life as of this moment. I'll take that away from you" Mia stood up towering him

"The right to decide for yourself, the right to speak up your mind" he felt the sharpness of every Mia's word.

She's just returning the favor.

What's even more painful is that she won't even recognize what I feel for her. 'I only did it because of you' is the only thing that he can think of by that very moment.

What he thought 4 years ago was Mia running to him asking for help, that he will be her knight in shining armor that she will finally look at him and acknowledge his capabilities to love her.

None of that happened. He just destroyed everything that was dear to her and also to him.

"I guess that will be a fair trade to all the pain that you have caused all of us, we trusted you with our futures when we decide to accept your offer, you took us for granted and sell us out" Kevin can only look at the floor in shame.

He took out the courage to speak up; Mia is already sitting in front of him taking a sip for her coffee.

"Can you reconsider your retirement?" Mia just holds her cup and bitterly smiled at it.

"No, I have already decided, as I mentioned to you earlier, I only plan to release one final album with Luna and that's it, I will be returning to my hometown and spend sometime with my mother" she then looked up to Kevin "I ask of your cooperation then"

Mia then stood up and led him to the door

"I'll pay for my actions and I suggest that you also face yours, Sir"

he can only look at her beautiful face for the last time, despite all that she have been through she have matured more beautifully. It made his heart ache more

"Let me also ask you one last thing, Please spear Terrence, don't use him if you plan to do something against me again"

As soon as he stepped out of the door he can only say what he can say

"See me in my office for the formality of your request" and she just nodded.

Now thinking back to all he has done, he can clearly call himself stupid for all the things that he has thrown away, just for his jealousy.

He destroyed the things that he considered precious to him and betrayed the very person that he wanted to get.

Kevin's thoughts was disrupted by a phone call

"Hello?"

"Kevin…" it was Mia on the other line

"Yes"

"I just hope that you will do what is right " he kept his silence; he knows that he lost Mia's trust 4 years ago but it still hurts to hear her doubt him.

He really is the worst

"I don't want to take away what you have and what you protected 4 years ago" Mia paused and they were enveloped by silence.

That the only thing that's left for them, what's existing between the two of them.

Silence.

"Like you took mine 4 years ago" then Mia just dropped the call.

Kevin can feel his tears starts to run on his cheeks.
