Chapter 25

What Nova didn't know wouldn't hurt her. Yet my father twisted my knowledge into making Nova think I had betrayed her again. As much as Nova wanted this kill, I salivated for it.

"Start talking." I clutched the knife in my hand. It begged me to coat its blade with the warm blood of my father's. Not that death would scare my father. Dad seemed to come to terms he wasn't leaving this office alive. Dad cracked his neck and then looked back into the fire.

I eyed Nova, who was looking at me. Nova was beautiful even in this state of confusion, and she tried her best to portray a bulletproof shield of confidence. Her lips were slightly parted and still swollen from when I ravished her. Nothing and no one would come between us.

Ever again.

"It is all a part of something bigger, son. Smaller skirmishes make up the game; battles create the war." Dad pinched the bridge of his nose as if a headache or some other type of pain was beginning to set in, "The history of humanity can be wrapped up in two words son, power, and order. Man always wants power, but you need order and control to have power. We sought control over the lands and animals. Then we wanted power over the neighboring tribe. As tribes grew, we created kingdoms and then fought, kingdom to kingdom; so one winner could call themself the High King. We have evolved in many ways but are still flawed with the need for more. At our core, we are starving for one thing that continues to grow our appetite. Power changes in forms, but the root is the same—the ability to hold all the cards. You know as well as I do, son. I'm not merely talking about money because when you are at the level we have amassed, money isn't even a factor when it comes to power. The Rites of Passage is how they started, son, and how we all will end."

"The Rites of Passage?" Nova questioned.

Father nodded, "They are the group. The Rites of Passage. Their power is infinite, ever-growing, and ever-lasting. Infinity. A series of tests, because that is what life is about. From early man, The Rites of Passage has been in power. They were born at the dawn of man and will continue long after most of us do ourselves in. They are the power behind us all, son. The Rites of Passage birthed smaller factions like the Knights Templars, the Freemasonry." Dad waved his hand in the air. I'd never seen this side of my father. He seemed defeated but content in that defeat. That wasn't the man that raised me.

"King Corporations belongs to The Rites of Passage. We belong to The Rites of Passage. The son pays for his father's sins, and soon Titan, my boy, I will pay in full. Then you will be free from the past transgressions and be ready to take your rightful place." Stress lifted off my father's shoulders.
