I frustratingly run my hands through my charcoal locks and sigh. Tugging on them and clenching and unclenching my hands as they are aching from writing and signing so many papers. Sometimes I wonder why I decided to go to business school just to have to deal with this whole company.

Oh right because I'm the second born son of my family. Usually in the business world the first born tales over the family business and that was the original plan. But after some technicalities I ended up being the one going to business school instead of my older brother.

My name is quite common and means defender of men. While Alexander is not a bad name and my mom just chose the first name that came to mind to come up with my name I'm ok with that. It also brings me pleasure knowing that my mom named me and not my dad.

I don't think there was any way I could get out of it anyway. My dad wasn't a bad guy but he wasn't a good guy either. The time the normal fathers and sons would spend going to the arcade or something he and I would spend talking about shares and trades and all that jazz.

We had our good moments but sometimes I wished he would want to spend time with me and not talk about something regarding the business that I would have to one day take over. Whenever I would ask to do something else he would guilt-trip and shout at me for not caring.

Not to mention grades were super important to him. Anything below an A- wouldn't be good enough for him. I had this phase in my life where one of my best friends took his life and my grades started dropping. You would think that he would be there for me and encourage me right?

Wrong.

Instead the pressure became worse I had no time that wasn't spent with my father learning about the ways of the business world. At one point I thought it could be our thing but that dream soon vanished. With my mother going off on trips for her business trips and my father never allowing me to come with her despite her truly wanting to take me with her I wasn't as close with my parents anymore. The only one truly being there for me is my twin sister Alexandra.

On the night of August 27, 2014, a 15 year old Alexander Knight tried to take his life. His sister found him in the bathroom with a knife 20 minutes later. She called 911. Over the 3 days he woke up. I found my sister and mother in the room with me. I asked where dad was. They hesitated but I already knew the answer.

He was in his office.

My mother could afford to fly all the way from Japan yet my dad couldn't leave his office? Wow not very surprising. I went to therapy the next day for another two months. When I felt I was finally recovered about 10 months later I was hit the a truckload of news.
