He adeptly loaded it and pressed it against his forehead, a faint smile dancing at the corners of his lips.
Shiloh was visibly alarmed. Sir! What are you doing? Please calm down! Were not at the end of our rope. Theres always a chance for things to change.
With a subtle grin, Mekhi set the gun down and ran his fingers over it. Dont be scared. You think Id take my own life? Only someone whos utterly defeated resorts to that. Its not over yet. The one who has the last laugh often has the best one.
He had spent several years practicing shooting, leaving calluses on his fingers. As he ran them along the firearm, a rush of excitement ran through him.
I believed Kyson was back for revenge against Nathan, so I sympathized with him and extended a helping hand. Little did I know that he would sell me out. Im determined to bring him down, even if it means my own death!
Having spoken those words, he forcefully placed the gun on the desk with a resounding thud.

In a nonchalant tone, he said to Shiloh, Considering the theft of the drug last night, I suspect Nathan may have already uncovered the drugs composition. While hes busy gathering evidence of my crime, you must dispose of the remaining drugs by flushing them down the toilet. You must also shatter the glass containers, bury them in the ground, and incinerate all the packaging. Ensure theres no trace left behind.
Regarding those rooms on the top floor, destroy anything suspicious in them, Tell the servants to disinfect the rooms and ensure they are spotlessly cleaned. Theres no time to waste! You must complete this task before midnight.
Shiloh nodded and said, Sir, if youre concerned about leaving evidence, why not simply dispose of the drugs? Also, you purchased those drugs at a considerably high cost. Destroying them would result in a significant financial loss, wouldnt it?

Very well, sir, Shiloh responded, offering no further words.
After Shiloh left, Mekhi adjusted his collar and left the study. He then ascended to the top floor at a leisurely pace.

As he pushed the door open, he saw a frail woman lying on the bed.
Her wrists bore the red imprints of heavy iron chains.
Mekhi made his way to the bed, took a seat, unfastened the chains, and tenderly massaged her wrists.
In a gentle tone, he said, Mom, please dont blame me. Youve always said youd do anything for me. Now, the person you despise the most, Kyson, has joined forces with Nathan to harm me. You alone can come to my aid.
He cradled Kaitlin in his arms, soothingly caressing her back, though his eyes remained cold.
Almost as if catching a familiar scent, Kaitlin blinked her eyes and started to regain some clarity.
She gazed up at her handsome son, wearing a content yet somewhat eerie smile.
Yes, my dearest son, Ill grant your wish, even if it means sacrificing my life.
Upon hearing Kaitlins gentle words, Mekhis eyes welled up with tears, and he began to sob.
Mom, Im truly sorry. I want to continue living. I dont want to forfeit the respect and influence Ive gained. I dread the thought of being sent to that high-security prison. I refuse to lead a wretched life.
