"If things turned out differently, I wouldn"t have to kick you out. But I had to. I promised Suzy, that at least after her death, you would have nothing to do with your mother"s family. Those trash." He says as if reminiscing.
"It all started before you were born. Before any of us were born, your mom, she is a grandchild of a Rockefeller and the daughter of a Rothschild.
She had the blood of two of the most powerful families in the world. One gained power for their compa.s.sion, while the other gained power to satisfy their greed.
My family, we were always a loyal dog to our master Rothschild and as a kid, I was your mother"s playmate.
Unlike everyone else, she never treated me as a tool. She was my friend.
My dearest friend."
He bites his bottom lip as he contemplates his next words, "As a daughter of a Rothschild and more so because she was one from the main family. She had a duty; you might think I"m insane for saying this but it"s how I was raised.
Your mother"s purpose was to be a tool for the family. A way for them to get bigger and more powerful.
However, Suzy never wanted that. She never cared for any of it. She was free spirited."
He looks at me for a second, "Your eyes. They remind me of hers. Especially around that time. I guess you are pretty serious about that little girlfriend of yours. Choo Bae was it?"
"If you touch-" Midway through my threat he waves his hands as if to tell me not to worry
"Let me get back to my story… Your mother was in her second year at Yale when she met your dad. Hyung was …. Perfect. He was smart, funny, athletic. The typical Heart-throb girls loved."
"So, my mom fell for him?"
"No, he fell first. Hard. After quite a bit of negotiation, your mother relented and decided to give him a chance.
Fast forward two years and they were the Perfect CC (Campus Couple).
But life or reality was pulling closer and closer.
Suzy would have to go back to being a Rothschild and Minho would have to take over the company.
They then did the most idiotic thing they ever did, they went and eloped.
Now you see here"s the thing with the Rothschilds, they make plans years in advance and nothing ever gets in the way of their plans.
Taking what your parents did as a slight inconvenience at best …."
"They killed them?" I ask as his voice trails off
"Not quite, they readjusted. Your dad… in just 10 years, pushed S-Group from being top 200 to top 5 companies in the world. It was even said that your dad was more powerful than the president.
It was around then when you just turned 5 that they came knocking. They wanted your dad to hand over 51% of the company or they would destroy it.
Now your dad would do anything for you and your mother and he was more than willing. However, Suzy was headstrong, as a descendent of the Rothschilds she knew the only family they feared was the Rockefellers so she had your grand-dad step in."
"So, everything was sorted, what happened"
"Well although, everything appeared calm on the surface. The waters were turbulent underneath. Some didn"t like your mother"s "arrogance" and some didn"t like her using the Rockefellers as a defence.
On the day when news of your grandfather"s health was released, they acted knowing that the old fogey was your family"s only protection.
They…. Poisoned them.
And as if a sick game. Decided to test their love by offering one antidote.
Your Dad. Without hesitation, placed it in his mouth and fed it to your mother. Hoping at least she would survive.
He pa.s.sed not long after, and she too after it was discovered that the antidote was no antidote but a drug meant to keep the user addicted without which she would die.
They wanted her to beg and kneel. She didn"t. She never did and she pa.s.sed away 1 year later…. Weak and broken, but those eyes never once quit."
"And … where were you? If she was your friend?"
"I…." He pauses, "I was the one who Poisoned them."
"I sacrificed my best friends to save myself. I always thought Suzy would do the same but, she never did"
Looking at the man whose eyes are now hollow, I can"t help but let out my uttermost disgust, "You are trash. You killed my parents and now you want to take their company away from their only child!?"
"I know." He nods, "But it"s the only way to keep you safe and for me to get revenge. I"m no longer a dog they can pet. I am a virile hunting dog, who is going to bite the head off my master"
"How n.o.ble of a dog" I can"t help but scoff at his self-righteousness even though he caused the death of his so-called friends.
"Dylan. I never "He pauses, "I never wanted to hurt them" he says ashamedly
"A snake, doesn"t shed his skin. Give me a reason to trust you"
Seeing that there is some hope, he smiles as he makes his way across the office towards a painting, lifting it he reveals a hidden safe unlocking it with a thumb print before taking out a bundle, and handing it to me.
"What"s this?" I ask as I look at the contents.
"Read it" He says as I slowly open the contents, perusing what appears to be legal doc.u.ments.
