You Again (Completed) ✔️

27.

Mr. Harris's POV

I'm sitting in my office when my phone vibrates on my desk. Looking at the client, I say, "Do you mind if I check my phone for a second?"

She shakes her head. "You check it. I have to ensure my kids aren't trying to contact me. They usually have the worst timing when it comes to meetings."

"Thanks. " Picking up my phone, I see it's a message from Cole. Opening it, I read it.

Cole: I think there's something wrong with your wife.

Me: Why would you say that?

Cole: She's not acting like herself.

Me: What's she done to raise your concerns?

Cole: After we told her Julia had left, she said, 'Good riddance.'

Me: That doesn't sound like my wife. I'll be home soon to take her to the Doctor.

The client looks at me. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, it's fine. Can you give me a minute while I talk to my secretary?"

"Sure,"

Walking out of the room, I find Tammy behind her desk, and she looks at me. "What can I help you with, Sir?"

"I need you to cancel my meetings for the next few days. I have a family emergency."

"Okay," she looks at my office. "Are you going to finish with her before you go?"

"Yes, we're nearly finished. Janice needs to sign the contracts, and then I'll be ready to go." I walk away from her and open my door. "Are you ready to sign your life away?"

She laughs. "Yeah, I am." Picking up the pen, she signed the document. "It's good to leave my stuff in the capable hands of a Harris."

She wouldn't be saying that if my brother Kevin was out of prison.

Ten years ago, my parents' vaults were the most popular. Until our clients' stuff was stolen and sold on the black market, it turned out that someone from my family was stealing, and we had to find the culprit.

My brother Kevin was revealed to be stealing after he took my family's fortune and brought his luxurious lifestyle with him.

While he was living off my money, I was trying to figure out why funds never made it to my account.

I was saving to buy a place in New York so that I could visit my daughter regularly.

Kevin stole our fortune, and we were left with nothing. It devastated me that I couldn't see my daughter.

I had to start the vault company from scratch and change the name, but people are still wary about placing their treasured items in the vault because of my brother.

During the court proceedings for my brother's case, Dad's heart gave out, and he died. The last thing my father said to Kevin before he died was. "I forgive and love you, son."

I won't be able to forgive my brother for what he did to my family.

Every day, when I look at my daughter, I think about telling her about Kevin, but then I feel ashamed because I didn't tell her in the first place.

If I told her about what happened, we would be less distant from each other in our relationship.

After I find out what's wrong with my wife, I will sit down with Julia and tell her everything. She needs to know about the family's struggles and why we didn't see her. I know this isn't going to change anything.
