Grey looked at my bodyguard shove my suit cases into the back of the SUV

"Be careful with that" he growled

He walked back into the house to my father's room, he opened the door to see his new care taker getting harassed by my mother

"How dare you come into my home, I can take care of my husband myself" he pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Mrs. Adams please excuse me and my mother for a moment" a wave of nausea washed over him as the word mother left his lips

Mrs. Adams was Mark's old friend. She was an older black woman who was kind at heart and believed everyone should have a chance, she had a special attraction to Grey in a motherly way. She hardly knew him but from what Mark has said she can't wait to speak to him

As soon as she left grey grabbed his mother by her shoulders.

"You will treat her with respect. You are no longer my father's caretaker. Your job is to sit and look pretty. Since I am the man of this house now there are new rules, you are not allowed anywhere near my father, your credit card will be limited and you will not interfere with any business without my consent"

Vivian couldn't believe this monster was her son. She knew he was always a troubled child but this was insane, this boy was insane. She did fear him but she had a fire in her that was hard to extinguish.

She grew up a poshed woman, taught etiquette, Literature, cooking, cleaning, she was the perfect billionaire wife but her personality was utterly horrendous. She had close minded beliefs that belonged in the 1700's

"I will not be degraded by that thing!" Grey gripped her harder, a pained expression washed over her face

"That thing is better than you'll ever be and you will refer to her a Mrs. Adams. She is not your slave nor your dog to kick she is my father's helper" Grey could slowly see the fire in her eyes extinguish and form into fear,  he released his mother immediately

"Get out" she scurried out of the room

"Don't break her son, that will be hard to explain" Grey's eyes softened as he saw his father

He once tan skin was pale, his hair was white and thin, eyes dull and emotionless and his once radiating personality was diminished

"Thank you for the helper, she's wonderful" he smiled weakly

"You should thank uncle. What's happening to you?" He looked at me directly with his grey eyes

"I'm dying, isn't it obvious?"

"Of what?, there has to be something I can do, fly out the world's greatest doctors, get you into a hospital-"

"Stop!, just stop it. It's incurable"

For the first time in ages Grey felt his heart break. Grey needed his father, he was the only parent who truly gave a damn about him. Grey needed a shoulder to cry on more than ever

"Come here" Grey dropped to his knees and dragged himself to his father's bedside. His father took Grey's hand into his.

"I want you to know that all my everything I own is yours, after I'm gone get rid of your mother, I already have my lawyers working on it so don't worry too much" tears swelled in Grey's eyes, reality set in,he couldn't lose his father

The tears began to fall and Grey's hardened exterior shattered. His father kissed his hand and rested his forehead on his son's own

"Promise me you'll get better" Grey nodded furiously
