Chapter 54: Chapter 54

“Do you really want to know why?” she moves back to me. “Yes!” I seriously nod my head.

“While ladies like us are working our ass up to earn every single little thing we have to make a name in society, ladies like you walk around and use their bodies to earn every single thing they want. At the end of the day, ladies like us are being labelled because of ladies like you. And it gets hard to tell all these foolish men that we ain't all the same” she utters furiously.

“So damn what! What does how did misogynist men treat you have to do with me? Why don't you focus on your miserable self rather than exposing your frustration at every lady you meet in the name of ‘ladies like you my ass” I scold. What the hell does she think she is? Or she thinks that I can't be rude as she is?

“5mins left” she utters as she walks out of me. I quickly pick up the files and read them. “Fuck!” I scream in frustration as I furiously hit the files on the table. Tears cram my eyes as they turn reddish like blood was poured into them. A stiff burning sensation grabs my skin like thousands of swords were piercing my heart. I fall back into my seat with a sudden headache.

With the little strength I have, I burst out in tears. I couldn't help but cry shamelessly regardless of who is around. I mean all these don't matter. My head and heart are going to explode like I'm crying blood. I don't even have the strength to park anything.

I grab my bag and rush out of the building and I board a cab home…

~~~~~~~

I left very early this morning. I have barely made two hours in the plane and it's already landing. The idea of facing my despicable father makes me seriously sick. However, I wish I could avoid all his unnecessary drama.

Unfortunately, with the kind of lifestyle I have, I can't avoid the man who has frozen all my bank accounts. “Smart move dad but you will pay for this, dearly… You and your adorable fucken Olivia. I guess she's the master planner of all this mess” malicious grin follows.

The jet finally lands. My driver was already there waiting for me. I love such a good welcome. Nonetheless, I would have loved to stay back in Denver with the only girl that matters in my eyes, — for now. Come to think of it, the only thing I have here is my dad and he’s the last person I want to see right now.

Oh! My damn money is here too. I definitely want to see my money. The driver takes me straight home. I wish my mum was still alive, she best knew how to welcome me with her delicious meals. Now this gigantic house is just a shadow of itself and this is so pathetic.

I walk out of the car and moved straight in. “Why is the house full and everyone is so damn busy?” I ask one of the maids who came to carry my luggage. “Your father is organising a small ball tonight. It was an impetuous so we are trying to catch up with time, sir. Nonetheless, he elected people to take care of you, so this won't affect you” she explains.

“What the hell is he up to? He didn't inform me about this” I frown. “I'm sorry, sir,” she bows and excuses herself. “It's not your fault!” I look at her and roll my eyes wearily. “Sorry, sir!” she says again before leaving with my luggage.

“I need breakfast!” I announce while moving to the dining room and I take a seat at the table. “Okay sir!” another maid hurry up to the kitchen to get me something to eat. I took out my phone and tied calling Sheila’s number. It rings in vain “What the fuck is going on with her, I just left for a few days. Hmmm, I guess she needs time” I drop my phone on the table “Hey, why is it taking forever!” I yell transferring my frustration to them.

“Hey, son you made it earlier than I expected” as if it isn't hard enough, I had to hear his old voice approaching me “Seriously, I wasn't expecting you this earl, as stubborn as you are you have never followed my orders until today. Wow! I'm making huge progress” he hits me on the shoulder before taking the head seat beside me.

“Stop acting up, you know why I'm here and this has nothing to do with you. Let's go straight to the point so that we can be done with this once and for all” I frown but does he care? He only cares about himself and his money and damn, I'm just like him.

“Why don't we have breakfast first?” he says. “Dad…” I want to talk but he ignores me saying “Hmmm, it's smells good and I'm dying of hunger” he skulks recklessly.

“I didn't have the patience and time for that” I frown. “Oh, son, you have all the time, trust me. You will wait until I find it fit for us to discuss. Still, you are free to leave after all you have never obeyed me so I don't expect things to change any time soon” he says ruthlessly as he pours out a glass of wine and sips it while the food is been served.

I know that feeling when you are in a position of power and you feel like you are untouchable. Yeah, we all know that feeling until someone popps up from nowhere and shows you how week you are. “Dad, have your moment!” I tell myself deep down. “

I have suddenly lost my appetite” I say to him as I move out of the table. “Come on, son” he cries out as I leave then murmurs to himself “It has just started!” he grins maliciously.

I have no idea what he’s up to but I was going to find it out.

•• Sheila’s POV ••

I arrive home devastated, in tears. I can't believe all that had just happened to me. Just in less than 24 hours, I had lost everything. I can't believe how quick everything scattered. He told me he was just going for a few days but why is he asking his secretary to drive me away?

Phone rings…

I take out my phone to see his number “And why the fuck is he calling me?” I fling the phone away, and it hits the wall and falls into pieces. Nat warned me but I didn't listen to her. “Freddy, was just a lie!” I tell myself as I off everything home; the lights, the windows, etc… and I cry the hell out of me telling myself “So it's over!” I have this strong feeling that he might never come back to me.

“Freddy, I hate you and I hate myself more for undertaking such a risk and for falling for the wrong guy. I thought I could seize his heart like the young girl in cinderella’s story, shit” I sob. To think he didn't even have the decency of cancelling the fucken contract in my presence “He's such a coward”

“Freddy, you are fucken dead to me” the pain I feel is unexplainable and breath-cutting. How can someone be this heartless with the lady he shared a bed with? At least he could tell me his intentions before living my bedside. We just fucked to gather, or that means nothing to him?

“Sheila, stop hurting yourself, it clearly meant nothing to him. You were just one in a thousand list of whores!” I cry and curse myself. So this is how disposable I am to him? Omg, I'm such a dumbass. To think Natasha was right all the way “such men never come back, Sheila” she told me but I didn't want to believe her. I'm a shame to my tribe…

“But what the hell is wrong? Why could he just stay with me? What else is he looking for that I don't have or that I haven't given him? Where I come from they told us, not to mess around at young ages and to keep our virginity so that when he grow older enough for marriage our male partner will love us more foe keeping ourselves and then we will have a good and happy home... Haha, I have to call my mother and tell her!”

“Oh mum, you were wrong… Haha, nobody gives a shit about virginity here, there and anywhere in the four corners of this world. All those/these women were once virgins, hahaha… Crazy how we often forget that right? So I was until this lying son of a bitch like me came and took it and now he’s nowhere to be found... Haha... But what the fuck was I thinking?” I start laughing at the top of my voice.

Thinking about everything now makes me laugh.
