“So, Jay didn’t show up -” the sweet voice of his mother lingers to his ears as he shakes his head, replying to her, “No, and this is not the first time. All of us are aware that he is least bothered by the business meetings. Why would he show up if his father and his brother are working like dogs to provide him lavish lifestyle?” 

Miranda clicks her tongue, she puts a hand on his hand, caressing it as she gives him comfort, “My son, you have been working hard enough for this company and trust me, your father will realise this one day. He will reward you for what you deserve.” He sighs deeply and utters, “I do not know what I truly deserve, mom. But I surely know that I don’t deserve to be treated the way I am being treated with my father. He only sees Jay as his son even though he is not the one who is working hard. I have been trying so hard to impress him yet he ignores me like I am some kind of shit.”

“This is what is nice about you, Terry. He is your father and despite how much you abominate him, the bond will bring him closer to you. Don’t do this for him or Jay, do this for yourself. You are the older son of David Nashville, after him, you are the one who is going to be the boss. Not Jay -” Miranda supports Terry while David always favors his younger son, Jay. Growing up together but treated differently, Terry and Jay are unlikely to interact as brothers. It is always a feud between the two of them, mostly started by Jay. 

Terry bounds himself within his room, he also has a nightlife but only on weekends. His friends are same as him - business-bound and hardworking. “Let’s not spoil our mood.” his mother smiles in his direction as she orders food for both of them. 

The nightclub embodies a fusion of energy, allure, and anticipation. The air is charged with a palpable sense of excitement as guests mingle, laugh, and embark on a collective journey of enjoyment.

VIP guests like Jay enjoy the company of friends or engage in lively conversations while still feeling connected to the vibrant atmosphere of the club.

Jay is sipping on his drink, sitting around with a few bunch of his close friends, while they are chattering, he is busy eyeing the women from the other groups. “Man, you are already surrounded by chicks already. Why are you watching them?” one of his friends Drake complains. The level of irritation on his face seems he is easily bothered by his friend. “Why are you irritated? The more the merrier -” is the casual reply of Jay. 

“Weren’t you going to attend the business meeting in the morning?” Drake’s question brings a reserved expression onto his face, he carefully places back the glass of his wine on the table and sighs deeply as he pulls a woman to his lap, adjusting her tiny figure with a firm grip. 

“Nah, I bailed on my dad. You know I am not interested in going there. What will I even do in the business meetings? I don’t understand shit -” he shrugs his shoulders as if the matter is not important to him anymore. “Plus I had plans with you guys -” he adds after a short pause. “What did you do at home all day?” another friend of his asks and his answer goes with, “I was relaxing. Sleeping mostly so that I can stay awake all night.” 

This is his level of living his life - wasting his precious time clubbing and drinking while his brother works hard for the company. He has no interest in competing or talking to him about business. He clearly stated to his father that he wouldn’t be joining business until he really wished to and no one could force him into this. His family is well aware that he is a womanizer, scandals are always the breaking news.
