CATHEDRAL'S POV

" Matt, morning." I said as I picked up my phone while I sipped on the coffee

" Good morning Miss Weston, the problem has been identified." Matt said.

" What are you waiting for? Spill!" I was impatient to say the least.

" It's one of our employees, his name was Lucas Davin. He worked for us about two months and then suddenly left. He jumped off his apartment and committed suicide a week ago."

" Oh my god, are you sure it was him?" I asked.

" Yes ma'am, and the bad part is we have no records of who he was employed by." He said.

" Listen Matt, you do know if this problem wasn't spotted we could be on road in rags?" I was beyond concerned and everything happening made me wanted to go back home.

" Yes ma'am I do. What do you want me to now?"

" Matt you need to run background checks of each and every person working in that department and do not employee anyone unless it's very urgent, okay?"

" Will do that ma'am. Is everything alright there?" He asked.

" Everything is good here. Hey Matt, you happen to be around for at least ten years, given or taken?"

" Yes, I have been working in Weston INC for twelve years."

" Do you happen to know any of our business with a particular person, Xavier Knight?"

" Ma'am Xavier Knight is an english businessman, the Knights have been our competitors since the very start when this company belonged to your grandfather."

" You think that grandy would know them?" I asked him. I was fascinated by his similarity, as I knew him or even met him before. I tried to remember but I had never ever met him, not even in college.

" I am not sure ma'am, your grandfather was not exactly friends with Zachary Knight, Grandfather to Xavier Knight."

" Alright, could you get me some information on him?"

" You know if you want to know me, why bother the person on the phone when I stand right before you?" A voice interrupted and my blood ran cold, I already had my client upset.

" I will call you later Matt." I said and hung up.

" Cathedral Weston, why are you digging up on me?" Xavier Knight, standing right in front of me, leaning up on the table asked.

" I-I a-am sorry si-sir." I was scared that I had already screwed my job.

" You did not answer my question, why do you know about me?" He asked sternly.

" I just find you so familiar, as I know you or I have seen you sometime before-" I said.

" But I would like to apologise for my actions, sir" I did not want to screw up my job, I had two months yet to go through.

"Never apologise for being curious Cathedral." His voice was laced in concern?

" Have we met before sir? I just had an accident and had a memory loss." I saw him wince at the word accident.

" I am aware Cathedral and no, we haven't met before." He said and sat down on the chair in front of my desk.

" Would you like some coffee sir?" I wanted to change the topic.

" No Cathedral, I am here to see if you were free to visit the site today, in fact now. So are you free?" He said getting up and dusting off his suit-jacket.

" I am clear in my schedule, considering the VC project is my priority here."

" Keep up with that attitude Cathedral and please call me Xavier." He smiled at me. I did not feel uncomfortable, maybe he wasn't the worst client.

" Okay si- Xavier." I returned the smile.

" Pick up all the files you need and meet me by the reception in five minutes." He said and took off.

I picked up the files and took my bag and my phone. I texted Jason, who was currently meeting the Japanese investors.

I went down the reception and found Xavier sitting and waiting for me.

" Let's hit the road." He said and I followed him to his red lamborghini.

" I hope you do not mind me driving?" He gestured me to take the passenger seat. His accent had a British hint in it.

" No, I do not." I took the passenger seat and buckled myself and so did he.

" So Cathedral, I know you are the Weston heiress. Why work as an employee?" He asked me, similar to Mr Lewis.

" I do not intend to sabotage my father's empire. I want to know how it works closely." I answered.

" How do you know who I am sir-"

" Xavier" He corrected me.

" Xavier, how do you know I am Cathedral Weston?" I asked him. I wasn't exposed to media and no one in here knew about me.

" I have my resources." That was his reply before we fell into a silence.

" As far as I have known, our companies have never done business before, why now?"

" I was informed that the young and very talented Cathedral Weston had stepped into business, so I had to give it a shot." He said.

" I don't buy it, if you were keeping tracks, you would have known that I have been into architecture since two years."

" Who do you think sent you the job offer?" I was taken back by his words. I had got that job offer from his company.

" And why would you think I would accept?" I asked , he was well aware that I had been designing hotel rooms since I got in college.

" Not everyone takes up family business Cathedral." I could sense a bit of sadness in his voice.

" Then why did you?"

" Our company needed an heir, my younger brother, well to say the least, he has been disowned by my parents and then the company was left to me."

" You don't have a sister?" I asked. Matt had previously told me that there was a rumour of this young Knight.

" I-I don't know how to answer that." He said and I sensed his uneasiness.

" I am sorry." That was the final words till we fell into a complete silence and we had arrived, it was a little away from the main city. But this location would be highly in demand in a couple of years.

" Mr Knight." A man, I believed to be in the construction department of our company greeted him.

" Marcus, I believe the work is coming up good?"

" Yes sir." He said as he led us to the temporary office and I pulled out the map and started explaining to the construction team.

" Mr Knight, I added a couple of things and I wanted you to go over them."

" Alright, Talk." He said rudely. I was too busy to be offended right now.

" It would radiate a more homely yet elegant vibe if we added a water fountain at the entrance, french doors and at last a fireplace."

" Fire place?" The man with the construction team questioned.

" Yes, to make it look truly vintage." I answered.

" I approve." Xavier said and I moved forward into explaining.

Each one asked their questions and I put an answer to each ones. Not very difficult.

" I think we are done here." Xavier declared as my phone rang.

" Excuse me, gentlemen." I excused myself to pick up the call.

" Hello, Cathedral." A voice I never wanted to hear spoke. I was all cold. My brain stopped to function.

" Remember you friend Alex? It's me" It was Alex on the phone.

" What do you want?" I asked him strictly.

" Why so angered? Can't a friend just call?"

" How dare you call yourself my friend?" Tears were running down my cheek as I gritted on my teeth.

" Oh, poor Cathedral. It's not over, I will come for you and you won't make it alive Wes." How dare that bastard call me that!

I am not afraid of him, I never will be.

" You almost make it sound like a threat."

" And you almost make it sound like you are so strong."

" Well, do better than slitting my hand, you betrayer." I said and I cut the call.

I kept a hand on my mouth to muff my sobs. I checked my phone to see 4 miss calls from Jason and called him.

" Wes." His voice was broken.

" Jason." And so was mine.

" Wes, are you okay? Where are you?" He was deeply concerned.

" Jason, calm down I am just fine and I am on the visit to the site. What happened, is everything okay?"

" Come home Cathedral." There was definitely something wrong, Jason did not go home before eight and it wasn't even seven.

" Jason, What happened?" I asked him again.

" Come home and I will tell you everything." He repeated.

" I am on my way." I cut the call and went inside to find everyone but Xavier was gone.

" Everything alright Cathedral?" He asked me as I packed all the papers and files in a hurry.

" Dandy, Xavier." I picked up my bag and started to leave as a hand stopped me.

" Where are you going?" He asked.

" I am sorry but I need to be home as soon as possible." I said as I walked out.

" I will drive you." He shouted as he caught up to me.

" That is very generous of you, but no thanks." I continued to walk.

" I wasn't asking, get in the car." He demanded.

" No."

" Cathedral, you will never find a taxi in here at this hour "

" Okay." I said and got in. I needed to get home fast.

He drove swiftly as if he could sense my emergency. My thoughts were exploding by the possibilities of what could go wrong. Alex was enough of a concern already.

" Are you okay?" He asked me again.

" Yeah-yeah, I am fine." I said and removed my hand from my throbbing head.

" Who was it, on the phone?"

" It was my friend." I did not want him to know about Jason.

He nodded and looked back at road. My head was throbbing so bad as it would explode the next second. I looked out of the window to distract myself from the pain. Soon we had arrived to mine and Jason's apartment where I asked him to drop me.

" Xavier, thank you very much for dropping me home."

" It's alright Cathedral, I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight."

" Goodnight." I smiled and went for the elevator.

I reached our floor and opened the door with the key in a rush. I busted in the door to find Jason sitting on the couch with his head in his hand. It pained my heart to see him like this. I went to him and kneeled on my knees and took his hand.

" Jason, I am here."

" Cathedral" He said as he hugged me tightly.

" What happened?" I hugged him back.

" Vanessa and Jared are getting a divorce." He broke the hug and I sat next to him.

" Why? Why? They were fi-"

" Vanessa cheated on him."

" Samantha-"

" Samantha is their child, she has been cheating on him for five months." His state pained my heart.

" I am so sorry Jason." I knew how much he loved and cared for both his sister and his best friend.

How can you cheat on someone who loves you? And above all, you love?

" Samantha will be staying with us for a few days since Vanessa is back in seattle at my parents. Is that fine with you?"

" Yes, I will take care of her."

We both said nothing, the silence was loud enough.

" Everything will be okay Jason, I am here with you, I always will." Tears streaming down my face.

" I know Wes, I love you. Please don't cry love." His voice knitted of calm.

" I love you Jason." I said as I kept my head on his heart to listen to my favorite music in the whole world.
