Chapter 46: Chapter 46
Back at his condominium, Barbara is having her shower, that was the reason, she didn't take his call, she had to return the call as soon as she saw the missed call.
Hello, I missed your call.
Where are you? Barbara go mute. I know you left with your boyfriend, so where did you keep my card?
Don't be ridiculous, Jeffrey is not my boyfriend and I am at the condominium, stop been annoying.
Earlier, Jeffrey really wanted to go with her but she is not ready to leave, there is no need trying to force someone into doing something that she is not ready to do, they ended up having a little argument, Jeffrey had to leave without her.
Why are you calling? Barbara asked as the silent prolonged.
Nothing, good night.
Such an aloof young man.
I heard that. Barbara ended the call fast, Dante blushed badly, knowing that she is still there, his reflection of his mirror, remind him of how stupid he is turning into, Jayden would had made jest of him, if he caught him in this stupid act.
After tossing left and right, he finally fell asleep.
****
As for Derrick, when he thought, his agony is finally over and that, it's just the Li's deal that he lost, he got a bigger shock coming into his life.
More investors had pulled out of their deal, ever since he hurt Barbara, his life has been a living hell, maybe, she curse him.
When the news got to his father, he place a call to the prodigal son to return home, the young man was trying to figure out plans to get his investors back but those plans ended up achieving nothing
Maybe, he should apologize to Barbara and play the sorrow face, that Barbara always fall for.
But then, Barbara have no fucking idea about the situation, the one person, that could return him back to normal is Dante and right now, love will not let that man listen to him.
Barbara must had sing to him how he hurt her, make out with her sister in front of her.
No way, those two are his last hope but that hope is as good as no hope, he struggles from the floor, he had been drinking his life out, since everything keep falling apart in front of him. Sir Leonard keep calling him, he had to return home and face his fears ones and for all.
He could feel the anger with each step he takes, into the villa.
Father!
Do not call me with those lips of yours, I can't father such a useless child, did you know the embarrassment you curse me? Leonard's voice echoed through the living room, the man is mad at him, so mad that he might rip him apart.
Father, let me explain.
Explain? What is there to explain, you mistake of a son.
Come on honey don't be too hard on him. Derrick mother solicit for him
Nonsense, you keep aiding him with is nonsensical behavior, that is the reason he turns out worthless.
Father, it's all a little misunderstanding, I promise, I will fixed it. Leonard titter dryly.
Fixed it? How can you fixed it, when you can't even fixed yourself, you weren't man enough to come home and tell us the blunder you've committed.
Father, I am sorry but the truth is...
What truth are you so proud of? That you slept with the latter and end up hurting the former? What kind of a son are you? Now we have issue to deal with the Harold's, I wonder what will happen if Calvin find out that, you have hurt his princess.
Father, I am not in love with Barbara but her sister.
What worthless love is that? As far as I am concerned, you do not have a fiancee, a woman who give herself to her sister fiancee is a dog and the man involved in her, is a goat.
Leonard is mad, he had close relationship with the Calvin's, now his son had done this bad thing to the family, how could he face his friend, if he finds out, what this worthless son of his had done.
I wonder, if this incompetent fellow, can be an heir of my company.
No oh! His father can't do this to him, he might not survive that. Oh Barbara! I curse the day I got attracted to you. Derrick can't stop calling down evil on Barbara, if he lost the company, that will be the end of him.
Father, it hasn't got to that, I said I will fixed it.
Better fixed it, for once be useful to yourself and not always act stupid.
Those insult are like a punch to his face, if some one had told him that insult will be pour on him like this, he will never had believe it.
Mrs Leonard turned around and left with her husband, Derrick sit on the floor, his head is fill with all the things, he is going to do to Barbara to make her pay for putting him in this mess.
****
Barbara, I beg you take your call. Hazel complain bitterly.
Worried about the prodigal adopted daughter?
Claudia, not now, I have alot on my head and you, are not going to add to it.
Hm! We have a new table.
I fixed it, your dad might be returning soon and you haven't apologize to Barbara.
Haha! Claudia laughed without emotions. You very funny, I will never apologize to that wench, she is to worship me not me doing that to her. She take a few step towards the door but then those security staring at her, only means one thing, she can't go go. Dammit! Damn father. She hit the wall, as she make her way back to her room.
Claudia need to see Derrick, the young man had practically put her call on blacklist and neither had he make the mistake of calling her.
A little conversation with Derrick, will make her know where she stand in this stupid thing she call relationship that has brought her nothing but bad luck.
