CHAPTER THREE

Killian thought he had heard wrongly. What does he mean by my girlfriend? Cecilia had been courting a man even before thiwe divorce. 

He was visibly annoyed. Cecilia had humiliated him in any way possible. She totally looked down on him. 

She really despised her marriage with him despite doing everything to please her. Whatever he did wasn't enough to keep her faithful to him. 

Killian decided to ignore him, and glanced at Cecilia dangerously. 

"Really! You can't even wait for us to be divorce before courting another man. How despicable of you, Cecilia! You really wanted me gone? Even after three years of relationships, you don't have an iota of love or respect for me?"

He continued with his heart filled with pain and fury, "For the past three years, I have tried all my best to make you satisfied, but still, you saw me as a loser, a servant in the family. 

You have the effrontery to bring your new boyfriend home even without getting divorce. You didn't find me worthy and always sees me as an useless being.

You are the one who has made a mistake, so do not dare to insult me anymore otherwise I would teach you guys a lesson." He concluded, his voice was hinted with utmost anger. 

Cecilia  was shocked and rendered speechless. She could see how angry Killian looked. His eyes had turned crimson red and his veins were almost bulging out of the flesh. 

In the past three years, Killian had been so gentle and calm, and never voiced out no matter how pained he was. 

Although, She and her mother, Isabella Pratt, treated him like a servant, he was not angry with it. How come he has changed drastically? 

This isn't Killian Holland anymore! 

Charles Wayne was agitated, he felt Killian was trying to challenge him. He is rich, and the CEO of the Wayne's Group, he is quite successful, and knew much of the dignitaries while Killian is just an useless son-in-law, who depends on his wife. 

How dare he challenge him? How dare he speak to him like that? 

“How dare you raise your voice at my woman? I did ask you to kneel and apologize, and not your opinion!” He blurted out. 

Killian didn't bother answering him. He only stared at Cecilia and demanded for an answer. 

Staring contemptuously at him, Charles decided to teach Killian a lesson. He had studied Korean Taekwondo before, without hesitation he tried to kick Killian in the face. 

Swiftly, Killian was alerted, and avoided Charles's kicks in ease. He glared coldly at Charles, and punched him heavily on the stomach. 

Charles staggered backward and fell to the ground. He clutched onto his stomach in pain, and gasped for breath. He couldn't even scream as he stared at Killian in bewilderment, and breathed in difficulty. 

Cecilia  was shocked by Killian's antics, she never knew he was good at combat too. She only sees him as a useless being, and nothing more. 

Soon enough, she realized what happened, and shouted at him for hitting her boyfriend, Charles. "How dare you beat up my guest, Killian? I know you are rude, and arrogant, but shouldn't you respect my visitor?" She seethed her teeth angrily at him. 

Killian turned to her with an icy expression on his face, "What do you mean? Didn't you see your guest had attacked me first? If you had cautioned your guest, would I have attacked him?" He Bellowed, his voice had risen a little bit. 

Cecilia 's face flushed in embarrassment, and sneered angrily at him, "Killian, never think you succeed! I promise to make you suffer for what you've done to my guest. 

I will make you know I'm not someone you could offend. You will suffer for this humiliation, I promised you that!" 

Killian chuckled amusingly, and sneered, "Cecilia , do you really think I will be afraid of your threat? You are welcome to avenge me, and I would truly love to see what you got!" 

With that, he left Pratt's Villa. Cecilia  rushed towards Charles, and picked him up to his feet.  

"I'm sorry, Charles! You don't deserve to be in pain like this! You don't have to worry about anything, I will avenge you. The useless boy will definitely hear from me!" She muttered, and comforted Charles, who kept writhing in pain.  "He would really pay the price for hitting you!" 

Charles could only nod his head in response. He really wants to avenge too, but he is weak. He had underestimated Killian, if not, he wouldn't have done that. 

 "I would have to call my brother! He is the only one who can deal with me!" Cecilia  mumbled, while she picked up her phone from the bag. 

Isabella Pratt, on hearing her daughter's words, she bursted into an evil laughter. "What? You really want to call your brother, he might kill him before broad daylight! Your brother doesn't joke about anything that concerns you! He is going to kill him!" Her voice was laced with mockery. 

Speaking of Cecilia 's brother, Kendrick was a boss of the mafia, and he controlled the nook and cranny of the state. Because of Cecilia 's Successful and well-known business, Kendrick had over thirty underlings under him. 

He always received money from Cecilia and helped her to deal with the business problem in return. 

When he received Cecilia's call, he instantly picked it. Listening to what Cecilia  had narrated to him, he smiled evilly, "You don't have to worry about that, Cecilia. I will avenge you! Trust me about this, you will hear about his death tomorrow morning." 

Meanwhile, Killian walked out of the Villa, he waited for some minutes before flagging a taxi. 

"October 1st Estate!" He called out his destination, and the driver froze in his seat. He stared at the man in front of his car, and saw how poor he looked, and wondered why he had mentioned the address. 

The October 1st Estate isn't for the poor, the wealthiest families in the country are the only ones that could afford and reside in that Estate. 

A house in the October 1st Estate worths over tens of millions, and even the middle-class family are finding it hard to purchase a land. 

What he doesn't understand is what Killian is looking for at the October 1st, he looks more like a pauper. 

The driver snapped out of his daze when he heard Killian clear his throat, "What is going on? Won't you like to be my taximan for now?" He muttered. 

Though he understood what the taximan had been thinking about. How could he afford to enter the October 1st Estate with his poor look. 

"$25!" The driver called out his price, and Killian smirked inwardly and said to him, "You don't have to worry about that. In Fact, I will double it!" 

He got into the car, and the journey to the October 1st Estate was going smoothly until Killian's phone rang out. 

He frowned slightly, and picked the call, "Who am I speaking with?" He asked in a cold tone.  

An old man's voice came up instantly, asking, "it's going to be fifteen years since you left the house, when are you going to settle the dispute, and come back to the family. We really need you, Killian! Why are you doing this?" 

Killian asked with a cold voice, "Why am I doing this? You needed me to come back? Well, I will when the Lord of the family agrees to punish those who caused my parent's death. Are you ready to do that? If not, I'm not coming back home."

A total silence fell upon them, the old man sighed exasperatedly, "Killian, everything is just a misunderstanding. You've misunderstood everything, you need to come back home as soon as possible." 

Killian sneered angrily, "I totally understand. I would go back to the family when it's the right time.  For now, I'm not ready to get back into the family." 

The Old man explained, "Killian, the Lord is dying, and the family really needs an Heir, and you are the one that the cap fits. You shouldn't waste any time, and come back home as soon as possible. It won't be better for the Lord to be dead before you return." 

Killian was silent for a moment, and began to say, "The Original Holland Family was dead, and I need some time, and when I'm done with it, then the Holland Family will be reborn." 

"Killian, but…." The Old man tried to protest but Killian interrupted him instantly, "That's my decision, and if you need me in the Holland Family then you have to accept my decision."

Just then, the car screeched to a halt suddenly, making Killian jump in fright.

Quickly, Killian cut the line, and dipped his phone in his pocket, and looked outside through the side screen.

He frowned deeply as he saw some gangsters had stopped the taxi with dangerous tools in their hands.

"You really think I'm joking with you? You have the gut to call me by my name…how dare you?” He lashed out angrily at her. Abigail panicked and frantically said, “You are kidding, right? Do you expect me to call you respectfully? I've been calling Killian for the past two years, and that shouldn't stop now!” Killian smirked at Abigail, and softly said, “What do you think? Am I too small to be respected? Since you are too big for that, why don't you leave the house right away?” Abigail's face flushed in rage, “Killian, you are getting out of hand.

They became much, and Killian had begun to feel uncomfortable.He doesn't know the reason why he had to encounter Cecilia's friend, Abigail. He knew how arrogant and bitchy she was, and she was trying to humiliate him as she always does. “I'm telling the truth, I'm going to my house. I live in this Estate." He reclaimed once again, but they didn't believe him as they threw shades at him. “You are still lying again, Killian!" Abigail mumbled and turned to the crowd, “I know him, he is a live-in son-in-law, and my friend's ex husband. They got divorce this morning! How can a poor man have a house in this Estate all of a sudden? He is lying!” Killian frowned his face slightly, and looked a little bit skeptical. Abigail had known about their break-up. “Wow! That's so fast!" He mumbled to himself. The onlookers began to insult him also, they had believed Abigail's words. "What? A live-in son-in-law? How can a poor

That's just the normal procedure!" After grumbling for a while, a woman waved her hand. "Fine; there is no need in requesting a swimming pool. The Management should not worry about anything, we can't afford to pay that amount of money for an ordinary pool. It will be unwise of us to get a pool at this hard situation."
