“Hayden, if you need to blame someone, blame me. It was all my fault.”
“My failed marriage has caused you and your brother so much suffering. If you want to kill someone, kill me and spare your brother, he is innocent.”
Leon had known about the discord between the brothers, but he never expected it to escalate to a life-and-death struggle.
“Innocent?”
When Hayden heard this word, a wave of dissatisfaction surged in his heart.
“I suppose in our father’s eyes, the victim is always Omari, and I am the unpardonable sinner.”
“Have you ever thought about it? My mother is the wife registered in your family book, have you forgotten how she died?”
Living alone for many years, even at her death, her husband’s heart was still with another woman, which led her to die with grievances.
Leon’s face darkened, and he thought of the two women he had most wronged in his life.
“I told her before marrying your mother that I was in love with Omari’s mother.”
“But she insisted on marrying me, and I had to marry her for the sake of the company.”
“I admit I neglected her after marriage, but she shouldn’t have driven away Omari’s mother.”
Hearing his reasons, the hatred in Hayden’s heart did not subside at all, but grew stronger.
“Those are just excuses, I don’t want to hear your pointless explanations. Now, just watch how your beloved son Omari dies by my hands.”
With those cold words, Hayden switched his phone to silent mode and put it aside.
On the other screen, Leon fell from his wheelchair in agitation.
“Don’t do this, please Hayden, he is your brother.”
“The Lara family has already been given to you, even my life if you desire it.”
“Just… just spare Omari’s life.”
He knelt on the ground crying continuously, begging Hayden not to do this, but unfortunately, Hayden left him only a ruthless back.
Omari watched helplessly as his father humbly knelt and begged for his life, feeling all his past resentments vanish.
While he felt sad about his mother’s death, how could his father’s heart not be in pain?
And he had to endure rebellion from his own son, it was easy to imagine how hard it was for him.
Today, he finally understood how much his father loved him, even willing to sacrifice his own life.
“Dad, don’t beg him, I, Omari, would rather die than see you humiliate yourself in front of this lunatic.”
Tearing filled Leon’s eyes, uncontrollably falling to the ground as he clenched his fists.
His lips moved slightly, whispering softly, “I’m fine, but Omari cannot die.”
Watching the father and son caring for each other from afar, Hayden felt like an outsider.
He wanted to destroy the father-son relationship because he couldn’t have what Omari had.
“Mr. Foley, come out.”
Following two claps, a familiar silhouette in black slowly walked in from the doorway.
A tall figure with a handsome face and deep-set eyes now looked towards him.
It was Kelvin.
It seemed Hayden had some agreement with Kelvin.
Confusion filled Omari’s face as he watched him walking closer, his face expressionless but his heart tumultuous.
“You…”
Before he could ask, Kelvin interrupted him first.
“Surprised, aren’t you? Indeed, I’ve collaborated with Mr. Lara, and the purpose-to kill you!”
Kelvin deliberately spoke in a cold tone, but Omari detected an unusual undertone.
He couldn’t help but curve his lips into a seductive smile.
“If you really wanted to kill me, why come here personally to find me?”
For this question, Kelvin had a perfect reason.
“Because of Cheyenne, she asked me to locate you, I came because I didn’t want her to be upset.”
Knowing Hayden was still watching, Kelvin continued with a grim face, “Otherwise, do you think I’d be so kind to save you? Don’t joke, you are the rival I fear the most.”
His words were half true, half false.
False because he hadn’t been requested by Cheyenne to find him;
True because he indeed saw Omari as a significant threat as a rival.
After hearing this, Omari lowered his head in thought for a few seconds, his thick dark eyelashes shadowing the light in his eyes.
Then, looking up, Omari calmly closed his eyes.
“Better to die by your hand than by some hypocrite’s, Kelvin, go ahead.”
“But before you kill me, I have one last wish.”
At that moment Kelvin had already approached him, standing less than a meter away.
“What is it, tell me.”
Omari took a deep breath and spoke earnestly:
“Since I met Cheyenne when I was seventeen, I could never love anyone else.”
“I know she likes you, even till now I had never thought of competing with you, as long as she’s happy, I don’t mind what happens to me.”
“So I beg you, after I’m gone, take good care of Cheyenne, she’s a girl worth your earnest love.”
Then he bid farewell to his father.
Omari knew Leon was also worried about him from miles away.
He looked towards the direction of the phone camera, showing his most handsome smile.
But as he smiled, his tears began to fall.
“Dad, I’ve been unfilial. I always deliberately opposed you without understanding your hardships.”
“After I leave, take good care of yourself. If there is a next life, I still want to be your son.”
“Then… I will definitely be filial to you and never anger you again.”
When he said this, Omari’s voice was choked with emotion.
Leon also cried bitterly, beating the ground, pleading Omari not to leave him alone.
The grief of the elder burying the younger was already unbearable once; he never thought he would experience it a second time.
“Are you done?” Kelvin asked unexpectedly calmly.
Omari nodded, closed his eyes, and awaited his next move.
“I’m done, take my life.”
Seeing this, Kelvin drew a dagger prepared in advance from his sleeve, pulling out the sheath.
“Cheyenne is my wife, you needn’t worry about her.”
“Remember, I have a strong possessive desire, so in your next life-remember to stay away from her.”
As his words fell, Omari saw a dazzling white light flashing before his eyes.
Kelvin, holding the dagger, suddenly stabbed towards him.
At the critical moment, a hysterical scream came from behind.
It was heart-wrenching to hear.
“No!”
