Aec continued driving hurriedly towards the Langley mansion… The mansion towered behind its iron gates, silent, cold, mocking.
Aec slammed the brakes so hard gravel spat across the asphalt. Before the car even settled, he threw the door open and stormed out, rage radiating off him like heat.
He grabbed the steel bars and rattled them violently when he noticed the gate was locked and nobody tried to open it up
"OPEN THE GATE!" he roared, slamming his fist against the metal. "OPEN THE DAMN GATE!"
But nothing.
No guards.
No movement.
Just the echo of his fury bouncing back at him.
Aec banged harder, breath cutting in and out, the leftover wound on his ribs tearing with every motion but he didn't care. Pain didn't matter. Only his mother did.
"OPEN IT!" he shouted again, voice raw.
