Seducing The Ice Queen - Chapter 118

Across the screen, James Faye stared at his son with hatred in his eyes. “Samual! I am your father! How can you say that? You told me to go and attack Alice and now you are telling me to confess to all other crimes also! I have already taken all the finance frauds you were accused of, then you told me to attack her and now you want me to stay here and accept guilt! Can you not bail me out?”

“Father! I will bail you out. I just want you to stay here for a while. You have been associated with Faye Group for over twenty years. The more your reputation is smeared, the more share prices will fall and be affected. So, you are the one who is staying inside but Alice Faye is the one who is being punished! Regretfully, even though you succeeded in hurting her, she was not very deeply hurt and will be back to work in a few days. I wanted her to be out of commission for a while so that she would not be able to manage Faye Group’s reputation for a while. But that is okay! Once you are behind bars, the pressure on her is going to be immense. And I am now going to release the news of grandmother’s involvement in the scheming! I know you are hurting father. But we are going to hurt her ten times more.”

Even though Samual had told all the right words, James Faye was not someone who would trust easily. He was already aware of his son being ruthless and also knew that Samual had no love for anyone but himself. Just yesterday, he had been beaten up by those thugs so badly and still Samual had not once asked after him, but simply refused to let him even apply for bail! Those hired goons would kill him, if he continued to stay there!

“Samual! I can confess whatever you want but please get me out on bail! I am old now and my bones will not be able to survive another beating! And I have already memorized all the details that you told me to..”

“Father!” Samual almost screamed in warning! Did the man not know that they were talking into a prison phone. Did he really think that he could spout any nonsense over the phone.

But James Faye was really angry. And even after the warning shout, he did not step back but instead glared, “Samual Faye! You may be my son with the woman I love and for that reason I have shown you some grace. But if you think that you can force me to live here in this place, then you are highly mistaken. If I can turn against my own mother and father then I can turn against you! And just like you are used to a life of luxury, so am I. And if I have to stay here because of you, then I will make sure that you join me in the cell next to mine! I have the evidence to do that. Do you understand! I will confess like you want me to. But if I am not out of here in the next three days then let me assure you that I will make sure that you are also not free to go.”

Samual Faye clenched his hands and narrowed his eyes at the threat. And a shiver of panic raced through him. Did his father really have some thing against him? “Father? Are you threatening me?”

James Faye narrowed his eyes and answered, “Of course not, son. I am only finding you that I am your father and much more experienced. Maybe I am not as smart as you but I know how to protect myself well.”

“Very well, father. I will do my best to get you out of there in three days.”

Kieran Rowe sat in a small conference room with enough files surrounding that he could create his own personal mountain. Though it was extremely rare for anyone to have account records on paper that spread out so much, for Alice’s sake he was going to every single transaction done by James Faye and Samual Faye over the years until he was able to catch some anomaly to stop them!

After all James Faye had worked here for do many years and Samual Faye had also been working for Faye Group for a short period of time before Alice took over and forcefully threw both the men out. After discovering the things that she had been through, he had slowly come to realize that he had been too late in finding her. When his mother had told him about James Faye being a bas****, he had assumed that his little sweet Alice may have turned out to be a bi*** or someone who would have been so cynical in life that she would not be interested in a simple person like him. In hindsight, he admitted that this was the main reason that he had used work as an excuse to avoid looking for her. Sometimes, he had wondered if he might be able to act as her Knight in shining armor like he used to when they were kids but now that he had known her, he knew she did not need a Knight in shining armor. She was a Knight herself. And she needed a similar warrior who would be able to stand by her. He could have been that warrior had he not been too late. She already had someone trustworthy by her side.

Shaking his head, he looked around at the old files and finally found something that he thought could work. A little while before Alice took over, James Faye had fired an employee who worked in the Finance Department. The HR report stated that even though the investigation had come out murky, the man had been fired but he had been paid an almost exorbitant amount to settle the matter. Clicking a few pictures, he sent the details to his people asking them to look further into it.

Finally having found a lead, he breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his forehead in pain his thoughts once again going to the scene he had witnessed yesterday. She had bee so strong when she was with him. As if a minor surgery would not even affect her. He had been in awe of her strength until he had turned back to talk to her and witnessed her with Adam Parry. Gone was the girl who had been the strong and unmoved and in her place was a coy woman who was enjoying being reassured and loved by the man she loved. His happiness that he still had her friendship and the faint hope that maybe he could win her affections after a while were exhausted. Hanging his head in disappointment, he had returned to her office and immersed himself in his work.

But after repeatedly thinking over things, he had learnt that he still wanted her as a sweet friend. And thus he was going to have to get over his aversion to Adam Parry as well. Just then his phone started to ring. “Hey! How are you?”

“Brother Kieran! Guess what?”

“What?”

“You are supposed to guess.”, retorted the sweet girl’s voice.

“I am not able to guess.”

“Brother Kieran, I have followed you to this country! I am here!”

Standing up, he was shocked and asked,” What are you doing here?”

“Brother Kieran, my idol recently got married and even though I am very happy for him and support the Ice Queen, all my fantasies were shattered! So now I have decided that I am going to use this time and get close to them! Their company is hiring and I am going to become a worker at B.P Entertainment and get a chance to meet the other idols before they also go and fall for someone else!”

“Who did you say?”

“Brother Kieran! I am talking about my favorite idols band, SKY! You have no idea, do you? The leader of the band SKY is K and he recently got married to his long time girlfriend Alice Faye! She is a businesswoman and is known as the Ice Queen. Most of us fans actually hated her in the beginning but now their ship is well supported and apart from a few cray stalkers, everyone else loves Alice Faye for the way she has supported SKY over their difficult times. She was known as an Ice Queen in the business world but all of us STARS call her ice queen with love and aspire to be strong like her!”

Kieran smiled at his little sister’s enthusiasm and said, “Well then, I happen to know Adam Parry! Would you like to meet him?”

“REAAALLLLLLLLLLLYYY? You are not teasing me Brother Kieran, are you? How can my nerdy brother know someone so cool!”

“Hey! Your nerdy brother has some power, okay? Come over to my place and I will take you to see Adam Parry tomorrow!”
