You Again (Completed) ✔️

29.

Mr. Harris's POV

I'm sitting in my office when my phone vibrates on the 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 make sure that my kids aren't trying to get in touch with 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 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: She said 'Good riddance' after we told her Julia left.

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

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 couple of 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. She just 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 signs 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 parent's vaults were the most popular. Until our clients stuff we're getting stolen and sold on the black market. It turns out that someone from my family was stealing and we had to find the culprit.

My brother Kevin was revealed as the person stealing after he took my families fortune and brought his luxurious lifestyle.

While he was living it up in 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 I could visit my daughter regularly.

When it was revealed that Kevin stole our fortune from us 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."

There's no way I'm going to forgive my brother for what he did to family.

Every day 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 wouldn't be as distant as we are when it comes to 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.
