"When I get her back, she will know whom she belongs to. Jeffrey probably blinded her with so expensive gifts that I didn’t think of so that he could win her. He knew I loved Nora but decided to propose to her before I even did.
"Unfortunately for him, that was the biggest mistake he made in his life because I’m going to make him pay for everything he’d done," he promised, a red scary glint passing across his eyes, and a grin only stretched on Bruce’s lips.
After sharing a few more words with Bruce, Mr Wallace decided to head ho since it was already starting to get late.
He didn’t forget to fire back the money that had been paid into his account for the illegal weapons.
Since he and Bruce would be deciding further on their plans for their sex trafficking business, they decided to wait a little bit longer before they made their announcent to their business associates.
Mr Wallace arrived at the Wallace mansion, looking so tired and drunk out he was starting to battle with his eyelashes to keep his eyes open.
"Where have you been?" Mrs Wallace questioned as she strode towards him with a furrowed eyebrow. "You said you would eat dinner with us but you didn’t show up. Your ti at the office is keeping you so busy you don’t even have spare ti to spend with your family," she complained.
When she stepped closer to him, her nose scrunched in disgust.
If only she had an idea on what her husband was planning all along.
"Where’s mother?" He asked, referring to old Wallace.
"She fell asleep after I gave her the dicines," she replied, her hand landing on his shoulders which jolted him awake. "You’re too tired. Go and wash up and sleep."
"Wait, before that, can you call the twins down for ? I need to tell them sothing quickly."
Mrs Wallace beca curious. In situations like this, it was mostly because he was going to scold Xander for misbehaving in school again.
"The boys—"
"I’m not yelling at Xander this ti around. In fact, only call Xavier. Yes! He’s the one I want to talk to," he requested, heading to the couch.
Mrs Wallace gave him a pointed look before she headed over to their rooms.
Even though the boys were grown teenagers that should have separate rooms, they didn’t give in to the idea when their parents ca up with it.
So, instead of continuing to sleep in their bunk beds when they were a lot younger, their parents changed it into a king size bed and broke so walls to make the bedroom bigger than it usually was with each of them having more than enough space to store their belongings without fighting for any.
Mrs Wallace called for Xavier and he rushed out of the room.
"Father, you called for ?" He asked when he arrived at the living room with his mother standing behind him, as more curiosity arose in her mind as to what Mr Wallace could possibly want to tell Xavier but not Xander.
"Xavier my boy, you’re all grown up now," said Mr Wallace, placing his hand on the boy’s shoulder and he imdiately caught the waft of the alcohol sll dripping from his breath. "You will be of legal age in the next few years and there are so things I want to teach you."
Xavier instinctively took a step back, mildly bumping into his mother when he couldn’t endure the strong alcohol breath from his father. It was starting to suffocate him.
anwhile, behind a pillar opposite them, Xander was well hidden, his gaze boring into Xavier’s back before it shifted to his father who looked so drunk he was sure the old man couldn’t differentiate between one from two.
"I was your age when my father started teaching the nature of our family’s business and he was also the man who made so strong..." He continued.
Mrs. Wallace frown deepened, knowing exactly where the discussion was heading to. But she kept quiet so as to let him finish.
"Since you’re doing so well in class, I can see that you’re going to be the future CEO of the Wallace enterprise in the next few years. But not only that, I also want to make you stronger. I want to teach you how to fight like a man."
While he was driving ho, Mr Wallace suddenly realized that he hadn’t started training either of his sons’ ways to run their empire. He’d dealt with so dangerous people in the past, and now he felt he needed to buckle up.
What if the dangerous people attacked his family? None of his sons know how to defend themselves yet. What if sothing had happened to him? He hasn’t taught either of his sons how to run the empire.
So tonight, Mr Wallace believed he needed to train Xavier to beco the next CEO of the Wallace enterprise.
"Xander is your eldest son, Thomas! He’s supposed to be the heir of the Wallace enterprise, not Xavier. The both of them are supposed to work hand in hand, so if you’re going to pick Xavier, you’re also going to have to pick Xander as well," Mrs Wallace shared her thoughts.
For the past few days, Mr Wallace had decided a few tis he was going to give most of his properties to Xavier, share a reasonable equal amount to both Richard and Kace, and leave whatever was left for Xander, which didn’t seat well with Mrs Wallace at all.
"Xander is a useless son!" He claid. "There’s only one thing he can do in the company, and that’s to run it down!"
"Don’t be preposterous now, Thomas. I can’t believe that’s how you think of your very own son! Think for once in your life. Are you doing the right thing?" She questioned, ready to face him head on that night as they both mirrored each other’s expression.
