Chapter 74: Chapter 74

Padgett's POV

Sutton, hurry up, you should drop me, at home.

As your driver?

No! As my big bro. I said pulling his hand, I am getting used to him dropping me off now and then, so I prefer his driving.

Silly!!!

You should call me, beautiful naughty girl. I said he titters and dragged me out, and he drove me all the way home, dad is home for three days now, and I haven't seen him, we only talk on the phone, so today I finished on time and left for home.

Are you sure, you don't want to come in? I asked him since we are at the mansion.

No, I will let this pass, I don't want to see that asshole's face right now, I don't want to make him end up in the ICU.

Silly, just go on now, I am not sure, he is still around, mom said, he is going back to his base today. I said as I get down from the car, as I walk into the compound, I noticed Berry is smoking badly, I know she is never the cool one, so it wouldn't be a surprise, if she is abusing drugs as well but I thought she is leaving with Cameron, if she is here then Cameron didn't leave, oh no! I thought he is gone, and that is the reason, I wanted to breeze in

Bitch!!!

No matter how you clean a pig, a pig is a pig!!!

Slut!!!

I wondered how people refer to someone as a slut, when they are a desperate whore. I replied to her words, and she hurry to me.

What did you just call me? She hurry in front of me and was about to hit me, I held her hand in motion.

Sister-in-law grow up, if you don't want me to tell mom, you are assaulting me. I dropped her hand and possibly kicked her legs causing me to fall to the floor.

Bitch!!!

What did you just call my daughter? That was mom's voice, she hurry to pull me up, then I fake tears, I really don't need to say a word, Berry look at me, I was the one who pushed her hand hard while trying to stop her from hitting me, yet I am the one, crying.

Ma, she started...

No, I saw you, you called her bitch and hit her, you were the one, who made her stumbled...

But...

No more words from you, you should not hurt my daughter, in her own house, if you can't live with her then leave, while are you even smoking in my house, it's awful...

Ma...

No more words!!! Mrs. Adrian stop her. Come on daughter, let's leave, you should tell me, where did it hurt? She said pulling my hand, I turned and grimace at Berry, she should know how it feels to be the one hurt yet you are the one getting the blaming as if you are the one at fault.

Father! I called running to him, ignoring Cameron.

Daughter, I thought you said you will not be free for the next three days.

Come on dad, aren't you happy to see your daughter? You should know your daughter missed you.

What an irony of life! A daughter that missed her father, that she couldn't stay beside him, during his hard time, a daughter that cared so much for her dad, that she couldn't sacrifice time for her father, that father, that she claims to love more than anything, you do have a way of showing your love, picking a boyfriend over...

Cameron!!! Dad yelled in anger.

Father, you shouldn't stress. I said trying to calm him...

I am fine, Cameron, you should get along with your sister because you two from now on will be running the company because I am retiring.

What? We both yelled at the same time.

Yes, you two are now going to run the company.

What about Berry's dad? They have been business partner for years, so I am sure, that Mr. White, will not find it interesting.

Padgett, the company is mine and I decide who runs it. So from Monday, you two will start working together and you will brief him on everything.

Dad, I am not coming back, I only did return because I heard you were shot, so don't think everything is perfect, that I have to start running your company. Cameron's words were filled with anger.

What are you feeling like? Asking yes sir, for someone when you could be the boss and people asking...

At least, it's better than being a slave in a place where everyone thinks, you are the king.

Cameron!!! Dad yelled as he held his injury.

Hey relax dad, you don't have to stress, I am sure, my brother will accept. I said patting dad's shoulder while I looked at Cameron, that is mad for no reason again.

I hope so. He said as he take the water from me.

Okay, dad, I will have to freshen up, and I will be back before you know it, I need to tell you about the construction site. I said excusing myself, I was bathing when I heard a knock on my room door. Who could that be? I asked no one in particular, I grabbed my towel to wrap myself, only for me to see Cameron inside my room.

What are you doing here? I asked as I trace his eyes on my legs. And don't you know what it's like to wait for a reply after tapping the door?

Sorry, dad said, I should get the file, he asked you to get it from the office on your way back. He said as he turning his gaze from me.

Oh! It's over there. I point for him to get it himself, I turned to leave, but I slipped, I was falling to the floor, when he grabbed me.

Thanks, brother! I said but his hand is still on my waist. Cam! My... He stared at me, his eyes were on my lips, I know that look on his eyes, I really don't want him to, I can't let my guard down, but the truth is, I want to feel his lips on mine, then it knocked me, that will be so cheap of me. Let me go!!! I said pushing him from me.

Sorry!!!

It's okay bro, you can leave now. I said as he free me, then clear his throat, he walked close to the door, he pulled the door handle in anger.

Don't call me brother, you are not my sister. He said, banging the door behind him, I smiled at his words, and my phone rang, I grabbed it and answer.

Hey baby girl!!!

Emerald can you stop, screaming, you really don't want to damage my eardrum

Sorry, the thing is, I am so excited, Ray had decided to get off single life, so right now, he is planning of proposing to Julia, so we should help him make it memorable, Ray and Alex are out for the preparation.

Okay, I will just ask Sutton to come pick me up. I said.

Padgett, that will take a long...

Stop complaining, you are not Sutton.

Fine, you should call him and get your stupid ass here. Emerald said.

I don't think so, they are lovely. I said as I drop my phone, and place a call to Sutton but it didn't go through, I dress up to go out, I was wearing a short gown with my legs exposed, I walked into the living room, Cameron look at me, mom was giving dad, his medication.

Daughter, why are you dressed up? Mom asked as her eyes caught me.

The thing is... My phone rang. Sorry dad, let me take this call. He raised his head a bit to show that, he approved. Hey handsome!!! I said as I take the call.

What is it? Sutton asked then I pout as if he could see me. I know that face.

What do you think, I am doing? I asked, as I held the phone firmly and walked to dad, trying to adjust his collar.

Stop it, I know you, right now you are pouting.

Fine, you got me there, so tell me what I want since you now read me?

I know you want me to come pick you up because I just got the information that, that idiot of a boy, is getting engaged.

Yeah! So come get me, I am taking permission right now from dad.

But...

See you, love you...

Kaff kaff! Cameron choke on his juice, I looked at him, and as Berry hurry to him, he pushed her hand from his chest.

Are you alright?
