Blake Michealson's Pov

"Dad Save Me!" I screamed and struggled hopelessly when the kidnapper shoved the phone in front of my face.

"We got your son Mr. Michealson, and if you wish to see him again I suggest you prepare 10 million dollars and bank it in to this Cayman account. If not you can say goodbye to your precious son."

To think I would be relieved when I heard my father's voice, but all I heard was a cold laughed followed by his cold and harsh tone. "I don't care who you are and how did my pathetic son end up with you but there is no way in hell that I am going to give you the money. It is his fault because he is too weak that gave you the chance to catch him. I won't be paying a single penny to you. It isn't worth it. You can keep him for all I care." And with that he hung up.

My father. The man who is suppose to love and protect you, didn't even give a shit about me when I got kidnap. And now he won't even pay the ransom to free me.

"Your father is not going to save you kid. Save your energy." The man said before he pointed a gun to my head, pulling the trigger.

"No!" I opened my eyes. It was only a nightmare. A stupid nightmare that I would never get out of my head. It's been 16 years since it happened and my weak mind still hasn't gotten over it. I got out of bed, going down to get a drink when I saw that I had 20 missed calls from Shawn, our family's trusty assistant.

"Blake, your father is in the hospital. He got into a serious accident; you need to come here quick."

"Are you serious? What happened? Is he okay?"

This cannot be happening... I just woke up and this is the news I received?

"His currently in surgery but we need you and your family to come in quick."

"It's about damn time." I muttered "I'll be there soon."

Finally. The old man is finally going away. This is the day I have been waiting for. The day where I finally get to inherit his multi billion company and all his wealth. God knows how long I have been waiting for this day.

When I rushed to the hospital all of my family members were there, Nicholas, James and Maya were all outside the emergency room with a cool composure, this is not the scene that you usually see when your family member is in there. What can I say, my family is made from the devil incarnate himself, except for James the goody two shoe who is soft, kind and compassionate. Pretty pathetic if you asked me, he should know full well that without power and money he is nothing in this world.

Fake tears were in Maya's eyes and you could clearly spot a smug grin on Nicholas' face. The only person who seems genuinely worried for our father was James who buried his face in his palms. It's useless trying to pretend to be sad over the old man, so instead I sat casually on the lounge in front of the surgery room, beside James waiting to be blessed with the news while I scrolled through my phone.

"Please please please be okay." I hear him silently pray while running his hands through his blonde hair a few times. I rolled my eyes. Is he seriously praying for the old man? Wouldn't all of us be happier if he wasn't in our lives anymore? We get to split his inheritance for goodness sake although I'm pretty sure as the oldest son I would be getting the business. The only person who has the chance of snatching it away from me would be Nicholas and I would never let it happen. We have been fighting for years over the company with me now currently the COO of the company while Nicholas is the CFO.

It's already obvious that I stand a better chance than him in running my father's company, he would be out of his mind if decided to hand it to Nicholas. James on the other hand is not a threat at all he doesn't even really work in the company, his still in school studying Law is currently an intern as one of our legal consultants. His dream is to open his own Lawyer firm, crazy that he wouldn't want to budge in on the family inheritance but hey it's not like I got anything to lose. If anything I would be happier that there's one less obstruction in my goal.

Then there's Maya who's daddy's little girl. I mean I see how he gives her everything she wants but I don't really feel the bond between them either. She's clearing just living off his money, getting everything she wants once she asks for it. She shows no interest in the company too, choosing to pursue her career in fashion, designing expensive clothes. All she wants is the money that dear old daddy would give her.

I was still counting my odds when I saw Shawn coming our way. "How is he?" Maya asked through another set of crocodile tears.

"Not good. He lost a lot of blood, fractured his collarbone and has a concussion. Doctors are doing their best but they asked us to prepare for the worst." He shakes his head sadly.

Nicholas was failing to hide his grin now and I couldn't help the smirk crawling up my face. It really is the time.

"God please do anything to save our father. I'll do anything. I'll even give up all of my inheritance if you want me too."

"Are you fucking mad? Giving up your inheritance?" Both me and Nicholas glared at him. His truly out of his mind.

"He's our father in there! How could all of you be so heartless?!" He shouts at us.

People were slowly gathering around us no doubt enjoying the family drama in front of them. At this point I really couldn't care less, the old man is dying and I'm finally getting the company. I pushed passed James and stood directly in front of Shawn staring directly into his eyes. "Shawn you're my father's most trusted assistant surely you would know about his will. I want you to announce about how he decides to split the money to all of us by today once his pronounce dead."

"Are you fucking crazy Blake? Your father is still in there fighting with death. Until his last breath I would not be divulging any information to anybody. And he most certainly would not give up easily. His never the man to left unfinished business." He glared at me, raising his voice in the process.

I was about to make my point even clearer when the doctors came out from surgery with masks all over their faces and a blood-stained uniform. "May I speak to the victims family members?" He asked coolly.

"All of us are here Doctor." Nicholas spoke out. "How's my dad?"

"Everything is stable for now. But we need your consent to carry out the surgery to save him. So may one of you sign this family consent sheet so that we can save your father as soon as possible." One of the nurses handed us the paper.

James took the paper without a second thought. Nicholas snapped his attention to me immediately, signaling for me to do something. Damn him. " I'll sign it."

"Fucking hell." I roared. And took the paper from his hand tearing it to half. "Let the old man die in peace would you? There's no point in saving him now. Why would you want him to suffer even more if he is saved?"

"Blake his our father! Without him we wouldn't be here right now! Where's your compassion and love? His our fucking father!" He roared back.

"Blake's right James. We should probably let him go. He's an egotistical man. He wouldn't want to wake up weak. We all know that he would rather die than be seen as someone who is weak" Nicholas said as he put a hand on his shoulder, attempting to comfort him. I nodded to him.

"James, I know Daddy would rather die than suffer. We all don't want him to suffer would we?" Maya attempts to soothe him even more.

"But..." He looked at us.

"What the fuck is wrong with you people?" A girl who I didn't even notice came up to us. " Isn't that your father lying in there in danger and fighting with death right now? How could all of you cold-blooded creatures just stand here and allow him to die. Robbing him the chance of surviving. It's not your call to make. It's his. So fuck off and let the poor man sign the paper." She yelled and scolded all of us.

Who the fuck is she? How dare she talk to me in this kind of attitude? Does she even know who I am?

"Look woman. This is none of your business so I would appreciate if you just fuck off and let us settle it ourselves. This is family business." I said through gritted teeth.

I expected her to retreat back in fear but instead she rolled her fucking eyes at me. What in the world? What is wrong with this girl? How dare she disrespects me? I'm Blake Michealson for fuck sake!

"Here." She shoved another piece of paper and pen to James. "Sign it. Save your father. Don't listen to them. You know deep down in your heart what's the right thing to do." She smiled sweetly at him.

I was taught not to hit girls but if she doesn't back away now I would tear her to pieces. "Look I'm giving you another chance lady. Walk away now and all would be fine. Or I would make your life a living hell because you have no idea what you are messing with."

She's messing with my fortune and future company!

"My life is already a living hell go for it." She counters back.

For once I was at lost for words. This girl is truly one kind of creature, normally girls would throw themselves at me. I was about to think of something to threaten her when I saw from the corner of my eyes that James was lowering his pen to sign the damn paper.

"JAMES DON'T!" I pointed at him although my eyes were looking at his crazy woman in front of me.

"Ignore him, James." She looked at him and said.

"Nic do something about it!" But it was too late, he has already signed it and handed it over to the doctor.

"Do you have any idea what you have done woman!" I grabbed both of her hands and yelled at her.

"Blake stop it your making a scene," Nic said from behind me. I put my hands done from her but not leaving my furious eyes from her.

She still doesn't back away. "I know exactly what I have done. I saved a life." She took one of her fingers and start poking my cheek. "Unlike you. I'm not a cold-hearted creature and I save people."

I grabbed her hands away from my face and pulled her closer to me. Staring right into her eyes. I'm furious and yet she seems unaffected by me, her breathing even. "You just messed with the devil."

She yanked her hand harshly away from me and stepped closer. "I would be more concern about yourself." And with that she turned to walk away, her hair gently hitting my face. I clenched my fist to my side and gripped hard. Who does she think she is waltzing into our family as nobody's business and then left made, leaving behind a furious bunch of Michealson siblings except for James who looks relieved.

2 hours later the doctors came out and told us that the old man was stable and in good shape now. None of us showed the enthusiasm that normal children would show if they heard of this good news and instead we sighed and went straight back home. Leaving behind James to take care of the old man.

Great. Everything is ruined now. Nobody is getting anything and the old man lives. Life couldn't get any better. The girl better not appear in front of me again because I swear if she does. I would ruin her to pieces.
