Chapter Ten

Oscar

My knuckles hurt from the punch. It caught Jonathan right on the nose and I watched him grab his face, his eyes widened and a loud shriek escaping his lips. He buckled to the floor and when I saw the blood dripping down his nose, I was glad Kayla was gone. I couldn’t imagine that she would have been impressed to see me punch my own brother. Even though he deserved it, even though I did it for her.

I jerked my hand up and down to try and numb the pain in my knuckles, then stepped over Jonathan and started walking down the office floor.

“Call my brother an ambulance,” I said to a man at his desk who had caught my eye. Everyone else was trying to avoid my gaze. Not that I cared. I didn’t care what anyone else thought, whether they liked Jonathan more than me, or any of that. All I cared about was finding Kayla.

But she was gone. She had vanished into thin air by the time I reached the ground floor. I had no idea where she lived. I could very easily find out from HR, that is if they were willing to give me that information. But I didn’t want to add to any office gossip that might hurt her. Plus, she probably needed some time away from me. Me, who had just destroyed her career.

Instead, I got into my car and drove to my parents’ home.

When the housekeeper led me to the parlor I found mother sitting on a couch, her hands clutching the pearls at her neck when she saw me enter.

“Oscar! What did you do?” she asked, her eyes wide and voice shrill. I walked towards the bar instead of her.

“It’s barely twelve, Oscar. You can’t start drinking now.” She turned in her seat to look at me.

“I need a drink mother, let me be,” I said, pouring myself a stiff bourbon.

“Oscar, you hit your brother. What is going on?” she asked. I looked at her and shook my head.

“Jonathan is an asshole and you know it,” I said and knocked back the bourbon in one go, the liquid burning my throat as it coursed through.

“I don’t believe that. He’s my son. You can’t talk about your own brother like that.” Mother had stood up now and was walking towards me. I clenched my jaw and looked away from her. She had always only seen the best in both of us.

“He has been jeopardizing me constantly. And he insulted me, and my PA, this morning.” I said, without looking at her.

“You mean Kayla Edwards?” she asked coming closer to me.

“Yes, mother.”

“You shouldn’t be fighting with your brother over a girl, son,” she said, placing a hand on my arm. I looked at her and ran my fingers through my hair. She was right. What was happening to me? This had never happened before, even with Sandra…I had never punched Jonathan.

“I’m not fighting over a girl, mother. She’s my PA and he insulted her.
