\n**Chapter 74**<\/p>\n
The relentless ache in Finley\u2019s right leg served as a cruel reminder of his limitations, a constant companion that gnawed at his spirit. Every pulse of pain was a reminder that the vibrant life he once led was now marred by this crippling injury. He sat in the dim light of his room, grappling with a wave of despair, uncertain of how he would face his family or what the future held for him. The thought of revealing his vulnerability filled him with dread.<\/p>\n
Just then, a knock echoed through the stillness, cutting through his thoughts like a knife.<\/p>\n
\u201cFinley, are you awake?\u201d It was Honora, her voice bright yet laced with concern.<\/p>\n
He remained silent, his head buried in his hands, as if the weight of his shame could be hidden from the world. He simply wasn\u2019t ready to articulate the turmoil within.<\/p>\n
\u201cFinley? Dad wanted me to check if you\u2019re not heading to the office today,\u201d she pressed, her tone a mix of inquiry and worry.<\/p>\n
He stole a glance at his phone, the screen lit up with a dozen missed calls from his assistant, each one a reminder of responsibilities he felt utterly unprepared to face. Still, he chose to remain mute, clinging to his solitude.<\/p>\n
After a moment of silence, he curled up tighter, the misery enveloping him like a thick fog.<\/p>\n
The shrill ring of his phone broke through the haze, irritation bubbling up inside him. He was about to dismiss the call when he noticed the name flashing on the screen: [Larissa].<\/p>\n
A wave of anxiety washed over him, twisting his stomach into knots. The thought of rejecting her call felt impossible; he didn\u2019t possess the strength to sever that connection. With a deep breath, he answered after a few rings, bracing himself for the conversation.<\/p>\n
Her cheerful voice greeted him, a stark contrast to his mood. \u201cCome and get me in a bit. We\u2019re going out. Haskell wants to have a word with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Finley\u2019s brow furrowed in confusion and irritation. \u201cA word about what?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout you telling people he\u2019s only being nice to me because he thinks I can heal his legs,\u201d she replied, her tone casual, as if discussing the weather.<\/p>\n
Finley felt a surge of frustration rise within him. \u201cWhy on earth did you tell him that?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIs there a problem? You\u2019re just a pawn in the game I\u2019m playing with him,\u201d she shot back, her voice dripping with nonchalance.<\/p>\n
His anger simmered just beneath the surface; her words were infuriating, yet he felt utterly powerless to confront her.<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand,\u201d he finally managed to say, his voice low and strained.<\/p>\n
Ten minutes later, as Finley painstakingly made his way down the stairs, Honora rushed toward him, her expression a mixture of concern and hope. \u201cFinley, is your leg feeling any better?\u201d<\/p>\n
Vivica, his mother, looked up from her spot at the kitchen table, her face etched with worry. \u201cFinley, please tell me what really happened. Was it that wretched girl, Larissa\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, can you just stop asking!\u201d he snapped, his frustration spilling over. \u201cI\u2019ll explain everything when the time is right. Just leave me alone for now, please.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, okay, I won\u2019t ask,\u201d Vivica replied quickly, sensing the storm brewing within him.<\/p>\n
Honora, familiar with his volatile temperament, wisely opted not to push him further.<\/p>\n
As he turned to leave, heading for the door without so much as a bite to eat, Vivica called out after him, \u201cFinley, aren\u2019t you going to have some breakfast before you go?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot hungry,\u201d he replied curtly, not bothering to look back, his limp carrying him out into the world that felt so heavy on his shoulders.<\/p>\n
09:58<\/p>\n
**Chapter 74**<\/p>\n
\u201cHonora,\u201d Vivica said, a worried frown etched deep on her face. \u201cPlease, try to talk to him later today. Find out what\u2019s really going on with his leg. He\u2019s always had a soft spot for you; maybe he\u2019ll confide in you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, Mom, I\u2019ll head to Starlight Media later,\u201d Honora agreed reluctantly, though the thought of confronting Finley right now felt like a daunting task. Approaching him seemed like walking into a storm without an umbrella.<\/p>\n
With a heavy heart, Finley dragged himself to Larissa\u2019s villa, the weight of his thoughts pressing down on him. He dialed her number, his heart racing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m here,\u201d she answered, her tone clipped.<\/p>\n
\u201cGood. Wait outside,\u201d she instructed.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow long?\u201d he asked, a hint of impatience creeping into his voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust wait. Do I need to report my schedule to you?\u201d she retorted, her annoyance palpable.<\/p>\n
Finley clenched his jaw, fighting back the urge to snap. \u201cFine.\u201d<\/p>\n
He ended the call, moving to find refuge in the shade of a nearby tree, the sun casting dappled shadows on the ground.<\/p>\n
Nearly thirty minutes passed, each second stretching painfully long, before Larissa finally sauntered out of the front gate, her movements casual and carefree.<\/p>\n
His fists clenched at his sides, frustration boiling over. \u201cLarissa, are you deliberately trying to humiliate me?\u201d he demanded, his voice low but fierce.<\/p>\n
She met his resentful gaze, a mocking smile dancing on her lips. \u201cHonestly, Finley, you can\u2019t handle a little inconvenience like this? And yet, you all had the audacity to tell me to be magnanimous and overlook the fact that Honora\u2019s mother stole my life. Do you even begin to understand how much I suffered because of that?\u201d<\/p>\n
The tension between them crackled like electricity, both aware that their confrontation was only just beginning.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the dim light of his room, Finley\u2019s internal struggle reached a boiling point, forcing him to confront not only his physical limitations but also the emotional turmoil that had taken root within him.
