Stevon's Pov
I heard her voice screaming for help, and for some reason i could not help myself. Why would anyone else touch her?
My face paled the moment I caught sight of the scene in front of me. Claire was pinned against the wall, Dan's figure loomed over her whiIe his hands tightly wrapped around her wrists.
I went blank for a minute, and before I could control myself, I was already upon Dan. My fist connected with his jaws, and he was sent careening backwards.
"Stopp!!!!!" My mom screamed as she tried to drag me away .
"Don't just stand there looking,get them away from each other".
The guards hesitated,but soon I felt there hands pulling me away from than,i turned to keep them a piece of my mind ,then a loud voice thundered from behind "stop that now Stevon!!!!"
I froze in an instant, balls of perspiration trickling down my head the second I recognized the voice. It was my dad, the only man who could possibly instill fear in me even as an adult.
I withdrew from Dan and slowly turned to face his scrutinizing gaze. He was a man with very little emotions, but i could see the rage and disappointment in his eyes at that moment.
"Stevon, Dan, to my office now!"
"You dirty whore!" Mother screamed at Claire as Dan and I followed father towards his office.
"What do you think you're doing?! Trying to break my family apart?!"
"It's not her fault—"
"Enough of that!" Father interjected before could finish my sentence,"Now get into my office " he reiterated , pushing me forcefully into his office.
"What the fuck Stevon?,what the hell got into you?!!"
"Dad, i caught this bastard of yours trying to harass Claire" i tried to explain.
"Wait a minute,you mean to tell me,that all this drama was for that wretch?"
'But really,did i just lay my hands on this bastard because of Claire'.
"Dad ,i think he is having an affair wi.."
"Shut up Dan!!,did you hear me talk to you?,you don't speak untill you're spoken to,i see you need some manner knocked into you head" My dad was boiling in anger,
"One thing i won't tolerate from any of you is disgracing me infront my staff,you both should get your shit together, especially Stevon, unless you want to end up like this looser brother of yours" he asserted outrageously,he walked out of the room and slammed the door on I and Dan's face.
****
It was evening,I sat in my office wondering what might have prompted me to act in such manner,i felt like a heavy lump was left in my heart,i could not pin what feeling this was,then came the knock on the door.
"Come in" ,Claire stepped in,she was with a first aid box ,it was then that i noticed the bruise on my knuckle,it wasn't bleeding but the pain immediately set in.
"What is it Claire?"
"I just wanted to thank you for defending me, and I can see you have an injury,can i tend to it sir?"
I do need this wound to be treated but i'm not about to let this wretch feel important "Ha,I knew this would happen,you thought i bruised my hand because of you?,i could not care less,now if you're gonna attend to the wound,you might as well shut up and get to it".
She walked close to my desk, gently grabbing my hand,i tried to resist for a second but she tightened her grip.
I winced when she applied an ointment on the wound,she smiled, revealing her amazingly white teeth,she had a beautiful smile,'wait,what line of thought is this Stevon' whatever it is that was going on in my head had to stop.
"Why are you laughing wretch?"
"I'm not sir"
"You better not be,as matter of fact, leave my office!!"
"But sir...."
"I said leave!!" I was not going to hear anything from her again,she had no right to speak . I watched her as she slowly got up and left .
'Good riddance '.

I woke up with a slight headache,but that was no surprise,i barely got any sleep,the event of yesterday kept replaying in my head,i quickly got up to take a shower,but my bedroom door was slowly pushed open
"Sir.."
It was Luca"What is it?,why are you in my bedroom?"
"I'm sorry sir,i just thought maybe we could talk"he replied smoothly.
"Talk?,that is why you entered my bedroom?,you and your sister sure have some nerves,...well since you're here already,speak, and be quick about it"
He walked closer to,his eyes locked into mine,what could this boy be up to?
"Sir,its about the Italian drop,i don't think Claire is the right fit for you sir"
"What do you mean Luca?,get straight to the point I'm loosing my patience "
"You know she's a woman,she won't be able to protect you sir, she'll only be a liability,but with someone else,you can be more protected and cared for "he replied with a smile.
For some reason I was amused,i think i know where this is heading to"Oh really?, and who do you recommend I go with?"
"Me of course sir "
I could see the pride in his eyes,this little boy actually thinks he can protect me.
"Well Luca, you're Lucky I'm in such a good mood,you might as well be dead if you disturbed me privacy on a normal day for this trash,please use the door now"
He was almost at the door when he suddenly turned,"What is it with you wretched people and not listening,i said leave!"
Before i could finish my sentence,he speedily walked up to where I was, grabbing my neck,he kissed me,..wait, what?,he kissed me?
