Chapter 19 - Bonding (2)

I pulled away...

Meanwhile Kim's head was in chaos " So that's why she was so reluctant huh. I shouldn't have.. I should maintain my distance".

"Kim , it's your turn". Mason nudged him . Kiel crossed his legs while Axel and Montez just looked on.

Kim had this faraway look In his eyes.

"Actually, I am not really interested in business and I know the same goes for the rest of us but we are tied to an obligation. I wanna tour,sing, unravel mysteries. I've always loved journalism. I wanna do things that makes me happy but I can't do I like every moment spent with you guys. I do..

My brothers disappointed my parents causing them to shift all responsibilities and focus on me. I am bound by expectations so I just... just.....

He drifted off and looked away.

"Well,nothing much, no pressure,no maltreatment.I just wished sometimes Zaina will looking at me,even once. She overlooked my accomplishments and showered Nathaniel with love. Am not trying to be proud but I really did everything for her to notice me but she never did and never cared. She always said " No matter the bribe, you can't wash away or make me forget the pain you caused me. Yeah, so I guess my problem is regret .

Mason coughed and glanced at axel who stood to serve hot coffee .

Everyone stood and left one after the other till Kim and I were left .Montez flashed me a smile before he went in" I was about leaving when I noticed Kim made no attempt to leave . As I moved towards him, he stood to leave
