**Chapter 14: The Final Warning
Simon and Gigi had barely stepped back inside when they stopped near the side of the dinner table, their presence immediately felt. There was a palpable shift in the air as the tension that had settled around the room returned, stronger than ever. Simon's gaze swept across the faces of those present, but it was Kanye and Travis who felt the brunt of his stare. The two men stiffened in their seats, beads of sweat dripping down their foreheads, their faces pale from the weight of Simon's words.
Simon's expression was cold, unwavering, and fierce. He walked over to the table, and every step seemed to echo the promise of danger he had just laid out. His eyes locked onto Kanye and Travis, and his voice cut through the silence like a blade.
"You only have one chance," Simon said, his tone as sharp as his gaze. "You two are the first to get a chance from me. The rest?" He paused for a beat, letting his words hang in the air. "They just perish." His words were ice-cold, and it was clear he meant every syllable.
Kanye and Travis exchanged a terrified glance, but neither of them dared to speak, their bodies tense and rigid, as though they were waiting for the storm to hit. Simon's presence was suffocating, each word from his mouth feeling like it carried the weight of a thousand consequences.
Simon stepped closer, his piercing red eyes boring into both men. "And I'll tell you for the last time," he continued, his voice now a low growl, "I WILL KILL YOU if you hurt them again. Money, fame, and your friends won't save you from me."
His voice reverberated in the room, and for a moment, no one dared to breathe. Simon's eyes flashed with the kind of intensity that made the room feel smaller, as if the air had grown thick and heavy. This wasn't just a threat—it was a promise. A promise that Simon would follow through on if they crossed that line again.
He took one final step toward them, his voice now booming with the full force of his authority. "DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!"
The room went completely still. Time seemed to stop as Kanye and Travis stood up simultaneously, their faces drenched in sweat, their bodies shaking under the weight of Simon's presence. They both nodded vigorously, their voices cracking as they responded, "Yes, Sir." Their faces were a mix of fear, disbelief, and a deep, abiding recognition of just how close they had come to crossing a line they couldn't come back from.
The Aftermath
Simon stood there, towering over them for a moment longer, ensuring they understood the gravity of the situation. He let the silence drag on, the tension between them almost suffocating. Kanye and Travis had no words left—they had seen men in power before, but never someone like Simon. He was a force, a storm waiting to unleash, and they were helpless before him. They understood that now.
Simon turned to Gigi, his face softening for a brief moment. Without another word, he led her up the stairs and toward their room. He didn't need to say anything further. His actions had spoken louder than words ever could.
Family Reactions
As Simon and Gigi left the room, the rest of the family let out a collective breath they hadn't realized they were holding. Kim, Kylie, and the others exchanged uneasy glances, the weight of the confrontation still lingering in the air. The dinner had shifted from a simple gathering to something far more serious.
Kris, who had remained calm and composed throughout the ordeal, now looked around at her children and their guests. "I hope you all understand the severity of what just happened," she said quietly, her voice carrying a sense of finality. "Simon may be kind, generous, and full of love for his family, but when it comes to protecting the people he cares about, he is unforgiving."
Kim was the first to speak. Her voice was shaky, but there was an understanding in her eyes. "Mom, we know. We've seen it before… just not like this. But that was something else. I don't think I've ever seen him that… intense."
Kylie, too, nodded slowly, her eyes wide. "It was scary. He wasn't just angry. He was… cold. Calculating. Like he really meant what he said."
Kris nodded solemnly. "That's the side of Simon you don't see unless you push him. But I need you all to remember this: he doesn't act on impulse. When he speaks, when he warns someone, it's not just to scare them. It's because he's already made up his mind. So don't ever think you can push him and expect a second chance."
Kanye and Travis
After Simon and Gigi had left, the room was filled with an oppressive silence. Kanye and Travis stood motionless, still trembling from the intensity of Simon's threat. They hadn't realized just how dangerous he was, and now, with the realization settling in, they both felt a deep sense of dread.
Kanye, who had prided himself on being able to handle any situation, found himself at a loss for words. His mind raced, trying to come to terms with what had just happened. He had seen power before, but nothing like this. This wasn't just the power of money or influence—it was the raw, unrelenting power of a man who would stop at nothing to protect the people he loved.
Travis, too, was shaken. He had never seen Simon in this light, and it was clear that he had severely underestimated him. The fear in his eyes was palpable. For the first time in his life, he realized that there were forces beyond his control—forces like Simon.
They both knew they had been given a rare opportunity, a chance to change their ways before it was too late. But whether they would take it or not was yet to be seen.
As Simon and Gigi made their way to their room, the echoes of that final warning hung in the air, leaving an indelible mark on everyone in the house. They all knew that Simon wasn't someone who gave second chances. The only question left was whether Kanye and Travis would be able to learn from this warning—or if they would become yet another casualty in Simon's path of protection.
