Chapter 7 - Richard Turns Around And Walks Away In Silence
Richard slowly adjusted the collar of his shirt, turning his back on his kneeling son without offering a word of comfort.
He walked deliberately toward the grand mahogany staircase, his steps slow but steady against the polished wooden treads.
“Dad, please don't walk away... let me make this right,” Ethan pleaded, scrambling forward on his hands and knees.
“You’ve made plenty of choices today, Ethan. Now you get to live with the consequences of how you treated your father,” Richard replied.
The heavy oak doors of the master study upstairs clicked shut, locking Ethan out of his father's forgiveness and trust.
Ethan buried his face in his hands, realizing that regaining his father’s respect would take far more than a simple apology.
