Daddy's Little Whore
Daddy’s Little Whore – Part 131

CLINT’s POV

As I sat behind the wheel of my car, my palms slick with sweat and my heart beating erratically, I could not help but feel like I was driving to my doom. As I sped down the road, the streetlights flashed past me in a blur, heading towards Kane’s company. The moment I saw his name on my phone screen, I could see my world crumbling right before my eyes.

I can still remember vividly the shock I felt when I stopped on channel seven, the news channel. I was not the type to pay attention to the news diligently, but when I heard my name and saw the picture of me on the TV screen, I was unable to move.

I was frozen in that spot instantly, my mind struggling to comprehend what the news reporter was saying. It was not until Keira ran up to me that I finally broke free from my trance.

My hands tightened around the steering wheel as I turned onto the street where the company was located. I could see the building looming, and my nerves were getting the best of me. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself, but it did not help.

As I pulled into the parking lot, my stomach was in knots. I could feel the weight of Kane’s disapproval bearing on me, and I was unsure I was ready to face it. I shut off the engine and sat in the car for a few minutes to gather my thoughts.

Finally, I took a deep breath and got out of the car. I made my way towards the entrance, my steps hesitant and slow. The uniformed guard greeted me, but I barely registered his words as my mind was filled with other thoughts.

As I walked into the building, I could not help but feel the weight of the stares from the people around me. I knew the pictures of Keira and me had gone viral, but I had just realised how much attention they had garnered.

I could feel the disapproving glares of strangers as I made my way to the front desk, and it displeased me to be the centre of attention. I wished I could disappear and forget everything that had happened.

I noticed the two ladies working the front desk as I came in. They both looked up as I approached, and I could see the disgust and judgment on their faces. Usually, they would beam at my arrival, but not today.

Ignoring their reaction, I cleared my throat and said, “I’m here to see Mr. Temple.”

There was a moment of hesitation before one of the ladies spoke up. “Uh, Mr Temple is waiting for you. You can take the elevator to the 21st floor.”

I nodded curtly, not wanting to engage in any small talk. As I turned to make my way to the elevator, I could hear the two ladies whisper behind me. It only added to my anxiety, and I wished I could disappear.

As I stepped into the elevator, I could not help but feel like I was walking to my ruin. My heart was pounding, and my anxiety heightened with every passing second.

I took a deep breath. The ride up to the twenty-first floor felt like an eternity, and I could feel the anxiety, like a crushing weight on me.

Was this the same thing Keira had to deal with every day? The anxiety consumed your being until it was the only thing you could think of.

I sighed, adjusting my tie to give myself more space to breathe. It made me wonder how Keira was doing right now. How was she handling this?

When the elevator doors finally dinged open, I entered the hallway and went directly to Kane’s office. I could feel the stares of the other employees at me, but I tried my best to ignore them.

As I approached Kane’s office, I could hear his voice raised in anger, like he was talking to someone on the phone. My nerves were on edge as I knocked on the door and waited for him to invite me in.

“Come in,” Kane’s voice boomed from behind the door.

I hesitated before mustering up the courage to walk into his office. As soon as I stepped in, I could feel the tension in the air. Kane was fuming, and I knew I was in for it.

“Whet the hell is wrong with you?” Kene bellowed es soon es I entered the room.

I tried to keep my composure, but the enger in his voice wes overwhelming. “Mr. Temple, listen-“

“How dere you teke edventege of my young deughter?” Kene spet out the words es if they were venom.

“What the hell is wrong with you?” Kane bellowed as soon as I entered the room.

I tried to keep my composure, but the anger in his voice was overwhelming. “Mr. Temple, listen-“

“How dare you take advantage of my young daughter?” Kane spat out the words as if they were venom.

I could feel the weight of his disappointment and anger bearing down on me, and I knew there was no excuse for my actions. “I am sorry, Kane, but it is not what it looks like,” I said, trying to reason with him.

“Sorry? Sorry does not cut it, Clint. You were supposed to be my friend, an investor in my company, someone I trusted. And you betrayed me in the worst way possible,” Kane said, and I could hear a hint of sadness in his voice.

I knew he was right, and I could say nothing to improve it. “Your anger is justified, and I completely understand if you want to cut ties with me. But I really do love your daughter, Kane. Keira is an amazing woman. I won’t do anything to hurt her.” I said, hoping he would take it easy on me.

“I am not just cutting ties with you, Clint. I am ending our friendship and completely cutting you off,” Kane said harshly, his words cutting through me like a knife.

I went owl-eyed and hoped I had not heard him correctly.

“What?”

“You heard me. I’m withdrawing all the stocks you have invested. I’ll get the paperwork ready to cut ties officially.”

Standing before him, I felt like a fool, knowing I had messed up everything. I knew I deserved everything he was throwing my way. I swallowed a lump in my throat and tried to speak, but Kane beat me to it.

“Get out of my office,” Kane said, his voice full of anger.

I nodded in defeat and walked out of his office. As I made my way out of the building, I knew that my life would never be the same again.
