Unknown POV

"Just apologise, try and smooth things over" Autumn advised her husband down the phone
He sighed, heading into the grand building before him. The grand building owned by the King family

Who in his mind were as corrupt as they came
Forever in and out of interview rooms and yet never stepping foot in a courtroom.

"He called me, not the other way around, I'm not fucking apologising" he grumbled.
"This is our daughter Grant, just say sorry, she likes this boy, she really likes him, don't you want her to be happy?" She asked.

Of course he did
Just not with someone like him
"I have to go" he said, hanging up as he reached the reception
"Grant Hadley, to see Laurence King" he said.

Before being shown up to the top floor
Presented before the king of corruption himself.
Both suited. Both guarded.
Both protective
"Grant" Laurence greeted
"Why am I here?" He asked.

"Can't I invited you for a chat?" He asked
"No, you only ever call upon my company when you need representation" Grant said.
The amount of money this man had spent staying out of prison.

And his son expected to get anywhere near his daughter?
"Well, todays your lucky day then isn't it? I would like to invite your lovely family round for dinner" Laurence smiled.

"No" Grant said after a moment of silence
"No?" He asked
"No" he repeated.
"Why is that?" Laurence asked
"Because I don't believe our families should ever have any reason to cross paths" he said.
"Really? That might be hard as our children are dating one another" he said.

Dating? Kingsley had not said 'dating'
"No they're not" Grant denied. Not when he was done with them anyway.
"Think on it, maybe you will reconsider" he said
"I doubt that" he said, standing up to leave

What a waste of time.
"They are fond of each other Grant, I do not think you will be able to influence them that easily" Laurence commented.

"I will bury your son if I have to" Grant caved, turning around
Laurence smirked, entertained by Grant's boldness to speak in such a way.
"There are a billion things that could put every single member of your family away for years" he threatened.

"And yet have you ever seen me in a cell?" Laurence asked
"Innocent until guilty am I not?" He goaded
"You're only free because of my law firm" Grant bit back.
