"Stop it, son! What do you think you are doing? Are you dumb? Messing up the house just because you are upset will not solve anything, nothing at all. Calm down and think rationally."

"And thinking rationally is going to solve our problem? Do you think If I sit down and keep thinking then the company will become mine? Will the company he handed over to me like gold on a tray?"

"You keep saying I should sit down and think, Dad sat down and thought all his life but he has absolutely nothing to show for it. I will not be like Father who could not even secure a little share from the company." Collins remarked in a mocking tone.

He sat down without paying attention to how hurt his mother was by his words. Anna took in a deep breath, she was afraid Collins was treading on the wrong path, unlike his father.

Although her husband never had enough money despite being from a rich family, she still loved him wholeheartedly for his honesty but her son was not following him his father's footsteps.

"Don't drag your father into this son. Your father always wanted to live a simple and quiet life, that is what he is doing currently and it's much better than worrying yourself about life."

"Even though you might not eventually become the head of the company then it is okay, you can build up your own company from scratch." Anna tried to encourage her son without stepping on his toes so he would not get more agitated than he was now.

"That's enough more! Who wants to live a simple life? I do not want to be a partaker of that life that was chosen by Dad. I am a person of my own and I will get back that company no matter what! Just watch me take what rightful belongs to me."

Collins said gritting his teeth, he stood up from the couch and stormed out of the room. The servants immediately ran back to their post after he left.

Anna could not help but sigh, she wondered why her son was so hell-bent on taking over the company when he could build another but Anna failed to realize that she was the reason why that was happening.

Back in Ryan's apartment, Aurora was seated on the ground with her back pressed against the wall. She remained there without moving scared of moving so she would not step on anything, She wondered how many of Avery's things were kept in Ryan's house.

A shiver ran down Aurora's Spine continuously from the cold. The walls were cold and she was dressed scantily without anything to support her from the cold.

Tears flowed freely from Aurora's eyes, she did nothing to stop them from falling from her eyes. Her life was nothing but pathetic, from being a medical graduate to being a hostage of a man without a conscience.

Ryan stood at the top floor watching Aurora stuff g herself into the wall, he rolled his eyes in anger. Ryan had managed to fix up the broken shoe but his mood was still out of place, he felt mad and at the same time felt pity for the girl.

"Stand up from the ground. Unless you want to freeze to death then you can continue crouching on the ground." Ryan remarked coldly making his voice loud enough for Aurora to hear.

Aurora raised her head at the voice, She blinked wondering if he was speaking to her and showing her concern or if there was someone else but it was just the two of them in the house.

"There isn't anyone else here is there? It's a waste talking to you, Stand up and come up here now. Do not let me repeat myself." Ryan said again out loud this time around.

Aurora quickly stood up and scurried away from the wall, she hurriedly climbed up the stairs at his words. Her feet quivered as she ran, it wasn't like she was scared of him or anything but she didn't want to see his face at all.

The best solution would be to go into her room and lock herself up there. Ryan turned around and started walking immediately she walked over, he led her down the hallway and stopped in front of a blue door.

"This is your room from now on. There are a few clothes inside and other necessities which you can use." Ryan muttered abd explained before turning around to leave from there.
