Under Their Watch
？？？
DON’T YOU KNOW EVEN ONE THING PROPERLY?!
Can’t you do one thing right?!
？？？
(head down, listening)
Dad… I tried my best.
And I’m still trying.
？？？
(slapped him lightly, voice sharp)
Don’t talk back.
? ? ?
Leave him… just this time, honey.
Ryder Hawke
I leave him every time.
That’s exactly why he’s going out of hand.
Elysia Hawke
I’ll look after it this time.
He won’t make the same mistake again.
Ryder Hawke
This is the last time, remember?
If it happens again… you’ll face the consequences.
Knox Hawke
(clenches his jaw, fists clenched)
I… I understand, Dad.
Ryder Hawke
Better.
Now… why are you still standing here?
Go. Already.
Knox Hawke
(turns, not meeting their eyes, mutters)
…Fine.
Knox Hawke
(Walks away without looking back)
(Knox walks up the stairs silently, each step heavy. Elysia follows, her voice soft but firm.)
Knox Hawke
(keep walking)
I said I’m fine.
Elysia Hawke
No, you’re not. I can see it.
Knox Hawke
(voice tight, almost a whisper)
I said leave me alone.
Elysia Hawke
I’m not leaving you. Not like this.
Knox Hawke
(stops, finally turning his face away, eyes burning with frustration)
You don’t get it, Mom. You never do.
(turns and walks into his room, slamming the door harshly behind him)
(Elysia leans against the closed door of Knox’s room, arms crossed, voice soft.)
Elysia Hawke
I can see… you’re trying.
Knox Hawke
(Doesn’t respond, sits on the edge of his bed, staring at the floor)
Elysia Hawke
You don’t have to say it. I know.
It’s just… he didn’t want you to lose that client offer.
That’s why he got angry.
Knox Hawke
(silent, jaw tight, fists clenching)
Elysia Hawke
I’m not here to fight you. I just… want you to know that.
Elysia Hawke
(Elysia straightens, once again looks at door, and quietly walks away.)

Tonight
(While sitting on the edge of his bed, Knox’s phone buzzes, catching his attention. He glances at the screen and a small, almost unnoticeable smile appears.)
(Knox’s thumb hovers over the screen for a moment before he swipes to answer. The call connects)
？？？
Hey dude, coming tonight? There’s a race. Prize is $100,000.
Knox Hawke
(raises an eyebrow, lips twitching into a smirk)
$100,000? That’s… tempting.
Knox Hawke
Who’s the competition?
？？？
Your best friend, dude? Draven.
Knox Hawke
Stop calling that bastard my best friend.
？？？
Yeah, yeah… I will one day.
Btw, I’m putting the bet on your name then.
Knox Hawke
(chuckles softly, eyes narrowing)
Be careful.
Sometimes the bet bites back.
(Knox locks his phone, leaning back on the bed. The smirk fades into focus)
Knox Hawke
Just wait, Draven…
Tonight, you’ll taste defeat again.
(Eyes were sharper like fire passing through the veins , fist clenched , thoughts running with strategies , the goal is clear to win)
