Chapter Two

Charles’ POV

Standing at the corner of the hall while swirling my glass of fine white wine in my hand, I darted my eyes at every corner of the room watching to see when Isadora would step into the room.

The second she walked into the room in that sexy black dress, her father and my old time rival Kade Langford hurried to her.

He went along with a blonde young man who looked really familiar.It would be impossible to be able to hear what they were talking about from where I was standing, but with the look on Isadora’s face, I could tell that she had no interest in the topic.

I excused myself from the group of guys I was standing in the midst of, beaming a fake smirk at them.Stylishly, I moved closer to them, pretending to be searching for heavens know what on the food table when Kade walked away leaving the young man alone with Isadora.

I still couldn’t hear clearly what they were talking about but Isadora didn’t seem pleased at all judging from the way he just tried to feel her skin. Before I knew it, a thunderous slap echoed across the room, drawing all eyes towards them.

The room grew silent and in a matter of seconds, the murmurs and whispers continued. Kade ran to meet the both of them. He seemed to be scolding his daughter.

After a minute of whispering among them, the young man walked away with a scowl on his face.Afterwards,kade pulled Isadora away from the the hall by her arm.

I followed the young man behind as he made his way to the bathroom. “Perfect.” I muttered under my breathe as he disappeared behind the door.

With my hands buried in my pockets, I stood beside him and watched him through the reflection from the bathroom mirror as he observed the redness in his eye that he earned from the slap and the very little tear on the corner of his lips.

I noticed him stealing glances at me from the corner of his eyes, he turned to me, “What are you looking at ?!” He yelled and then continued rinsing the blood off with water.

“Nice eye.” I started.“Well, fuck you!” He responded. I could hear the rage in his voice.

“How’d you earn that?” I asked with a smirk being fully aware of how he got that.

“Fucking mind your business!” He yelled again.“Well, I’m just hear to finish the job.” I responded to him while gently flexing my fist.

“What are you talkin—“Before he could finish the statement, I threw my fist across his face and let out a groan.

“What the fuck!” He winced on the floor. I threw another punch and another one, “That’s for making her feel uncomfortable.

He winced again as blood trickled down his nose.“Who the fuck are you and why are you doing this!” He questioned in tears.

“I’m just trying to teach you a valuable lesson.”“Do you know who my father is?! You’re going to regret this!” He yelled as he tried to get up.“oh wow, I’m so terrified.”

I responded sarcastically, wearing the most unbothered look on my face.“Do you know who I am?” He cried. “Help! Help!!” He began to yell.

“Shut the fuck up!” I said to him as I kicked over his spleen causing him to forcefully go quiet for a bit. He curled into a ball with his hands wrapped over his abdomen.

I knelt down over him, and continued throwing punches at him until he was barely conscious. While swinging my hand in the air, I got up. “That’ll teach you.” I muttered to him.

I squated down to his level and added, “I don’t ever want to see you near her or even speak to her. Do you understand?” “Who?!” He questioned with tears and blood rolling down his face.

“Isadora Langford.” I responded.“Wait … are you her —“I pulled my fist up in the air, “ I said do you understand ?!” I questioned again.“Y… yes yess I get it.”

He whimpered in fear and pain.“Good.” I said as I got up, “You’re lucky I didn’t kill you. I might changed my mind though.”

I made my way out of the bathroom and outside the building.By then the guest were already leaving and the conference had come to an end.

As Sloane, my assistant and Jimmy approached me, we made our way to the car.“I need you to finish up the job in the bathroom.” I whispered to Jimmy.“Yes sir.”

He responded with a bow as he got the car door for me then made his way to the passenger’s seat.

“Sir you have a big day tomorrow, starting with your meeting with Dynacorp group.” Sloane, my very loyal assistant said with her eyes fixed to the bright tablet screen in her grip while the car was in motion.

“Also I’ve forwarded your itinerary for tomorrow to your email.” “Setup a da…dinner for two.” I cleared my throat.

“Add that to my schedule for tomorrow.”“Yes sir, I’ll forward you the details.” she began tapping the screen of her tablet.

“Also do me a Favour, look into Isadora Langford.”“Isadora…? Kade Langford’s daughter?” “Yes. I want to know everything I don’t know about her yet. As soon as you find anything just let me know.”

“Sure thing Mr. Montclair.” She replied.

Later at night, immediately I got out of the shower, I received a phone call from Jimmy. I reached to my phone while my towel was barely hanging onto my waist.

“Sir, it is done.”
