He — He is here in front of the house and creating a scene. The security guards won't let him and he is yelling."

Kongpob and I rushed to the house and he insisted that the lawyer come with us as well, just in case my dad tries something.

When we reached the house, dad was already trying to hit the security guards and banging on the door. Luckily, the entrance gate was properly latched and locked down, so there was no way he could enter.

"It is my house. Who the hell are you to stop me, huh? Who is even paying your salary? Its my money you dumbass!"

"DAD! Its not your money, its mom's. And you need to leave right now"

Dad glared at me with bloodshot eyes. "If it isn't the prodigal son returning to mess things up once again. How do you always have the worst timing in the world? Tell these guards to back the f*ck off."

I took a few steps forward to get closer to dad. "I think I have a great timing dad. None of your spiteful plans have worked so far. What makes you think you could just enter the house after spending weeks with your mistress?"

"You... How dare you talk to your father like that?" Dad tried to hit me but the lawyer came between us just at the right moment."

"Hello. I am Mrs Rojnapat's lawyer. We already have evidence of you cheating on her and now you are becoming violent right in front of her house, trying to attack your son. If you don't stop and leave right now, I will call the police and file a criminal case against you."

"Who the hell is this guy now? You are not her lawyer"

"He is now. And you need to leave right now dad. You are not allowed to come to the house anymore. Lets meet later, dad. The lawyers will get in touch with you soon.

"Who..." In an instant, dad went past the lawyer and grabbed my collar. "Who do you think you are to stop me from seeing my own wife?"

A sudden flash startled us both. I looked on my side to realise it was Kongpob taking a picture on his phone.

"Mr Rojnapat, I just took a very nice video of you trying to break down the gates of your house and hitting the security guards. I also took a high quality picture of you trying to attack your only son. It would look great on the newspapers tomorrow. In case you don't want this to be on the prime time news, I suggest you leave already."

"Who is this guy Arthit?"

I finally pushed dad to get out of his hold. "It doesn't matter who he is, what matters is that, he will send all of your videos to the media. And don't even assume for a second I won't file a case against you for getting violent.

The lawyer is right there. Now are you leaving or should I just call the police?"

Dad looked livid but he finally backed off. "I will be back." He revved his car aggressively, and left the house.

"Can we file trespassing charges against him? What if he tries to come back again?

He just tried to hit Arthit, for heaven's sake." said Kongpod

"No, we can't." The lawyer answered. "Its his own house. We can't file trespassing charges. And he only pulled Arthit's collar. That's not enough for a restraining order."

"So what do we do now?" I asked.

"We move up our timeline. Mr Rojnapat already knows you got a new lawyer, there is no point hiding it now. We need to move fast. I'll ask the private investigators to work over time and gather some more information. Lets meet tomorrow morning in my office."

"Sure Uncle, we'll come by tomorrow."

"Uh and Arthit, make sure you discuss everything I told you today with your mom and ask her to come to the meeting tomorrow. We'll need to draw up papers if we want to move forward with our plan."

"Yeah. yeah I will. And can you drop Kongpob back to his house? I'll stay here with mom, just in case dad tries to come back."

"I am staying too. You can head back, Uncle. Thank you so much for all the help. Goodnight."

The lawyer left too and it was just me and Kongpob standing in front of the house. "Kong, you should have left too. I can stay here with mom. If you want, I'll take the car out and drop you to your dorms."

"I am not leaving Arthit" He intertwined his hands with mine. "I want to stay here with you. Honestly, I have gotten so used to sleeping next to you, I don't even think I can sleep all by myself anymore."

"Pfffff you don't have to exaggerate everything, Kong. Let's just get inside."When we went inside the house, mom and Uncle Thipat were already sitting in the living room.

"Did—did he dad leave Arthit?" Mom got up from her seat and was looking suspiciously at Kongpob holding my hand.

"Uh. Yeah. Mom, he did." I let go of Kongpob's hand and took a step to the side to create some distance between us. "I want to talk to you about something, mom. Can we go to your bedroom?"

"Oh. Sure, lets go."

"Kong, you can go back to my room. I'll come by in a while" As soon as I closed the door of mom's bedroom, she spoke up "So, Kongpob, huh? You like him?"

"What? Mom? What are you even talking about?"

"Isn't that what you wanted to talk about? You came to the house with Kongpob, hand in hand"

"NO MOM! Dad was literally outside the house creating a scene, why would I want to talk about the guy I like in a situation like this?

"No. Mom. That's not.... Oh god"

"I like him too" She smiled at me. "What did you want to talk about Arthit?"

"Something completely unrelated to Kongpob."

I sat down with mom and told her everything about the lawyers, dad getting in touch with her psychiatrist, and the plan to transfer the company in my name.

"But mom, we don't have to do anything if you don't feel its right."

"No we should do it Arthit. I know your dad, he will come back again and he won't give up so easily. The lawyer is right. And its all yours anyway. You were always supposed to take over the company."

"So, should we have the meeting with the lawyer tomorrow?

"Yes, I think we should."

"Okay. We'll go to the law firm at 11am tomorrow"

"Sounds good. Now go and get some sleep. You must have been stressed dealing with your dad."

"It—it wasn't that difficult. Kongpob helped, a lot"

"That's good. There is some leftover food in the fridge if you are hungry. And tell Kongpob we'll have breakfast together tomorrow, okay?"

"I will mom, goodnight."

I walked back to my room with a smile. It seemed like a small thing, but it felt nice knowing mom liked Kongpob. Until a month ago, I thought mom hated me for being gay. It was Kong who encouraged me to reach out to her.

When I got to the room, Kongpob was wearing my clothes and sleeping on my bed. Not a bad end to an otherwise pathetic day. I slumped down on the bed, hugged Kongpob tightly and went to sleep.

"We need to blackmail him into giving you a divorce Mrs Rojnapat. There is no simple way we can do this. We have already found all the information about his criminal dealings." The lawyers informed us in the meeting. "After he gives you a divorce, we have two options — You can ask him to leave the company and get out of your life nicely, or you can officially file a criminal case against him.

The second one will be risky for the business and it will be a long drawn process. We will push for a non-bailable warrant, but we don't know if the judge will give it to us."

"No, we want to file a case against him." I spoke up. "That's the only way he will leave our lives forever. There is no talking to him nicely anymore"

"Thats up to you, but you should know that the maximum jail he will get is for 5 to 7 years in this case"

"That's enough time for me to gain all the power and money I need to move him further away from my life when he gets out of jail. But do you think he will get convinced to sign the divorce papers?"

"We are literally offering him a get out of jail card. He'll definitely take it.

"What about him?"

The documents he sent were really helpful in our research. Those documents are the reason we were able to build a case against your father so fast. But Kongpob asked me to look into him as well. So we did"

I turned towards Kongpob, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't know who you could trust. I didn't even think anything would turn up. It was just to get our grounds covered"

I sighed deeply, and looked back up to the lawyer again. "So? Did you — did you find anything?

"Ten years ago, your dad took out a huge amount of money from the company. We thought he moved it to his slush fund account. But we didn't find any records of the money there. What we did find, was that your uncle received the same amount of money in his accounts 10 years ago. He used that money to start his own company.

A/N: I am sorry for the late update. Wattpad has had too many issues these days.

We are probably now 5-6 chapters away from the finale. A lot is going to happen in these chapters and you might miss something if you blink. I AM VERY EXCITED!
