CH.8: The Ring
I had reached home, Taking a deep breath I walked in...because, for me it's like paying a visit to hell.
It was quite early in the morning anyway, and I was surprised that Kyle was awake when I decided to meet up with him. I opened the door and saw a mixture of angry,sad,worried expression on dad's face . As soon as he saw me there was sigh of relief on his face, he almost ran to me and was just about to hug me when,he just stopped.His expression changed,face scrunched up."How can you be so irresponsible!? Staying out all night!!! DID you even think about the consequence if something were to happen!!!!??!? YOU-"
"How the hell does that matter to you?! You didn't think twice about the 'so-called' consequence before YOU SOLD ME OUT!! And for what reason!!?? Just because you wanted more 'PROFIT' YOU FCUCKI*G SOLD ME OUT!!. It shouldn't even matter to you because YOU HAVE A 'NEW WIFE AND DAUGHTER' TO REPLACE ME AND MUM!!..." I was beyond infuriated, honestly I thought my blood pressure is about to reach it's peak,I couldn't care less that my words had hurt him...a lot and it did pain me as well, I glanced at my brother who was behind watching all of this but not saying a word,with his head down,not able to look up anywhere especially my eyes; the moment he did, even if it was for split second I saw guilt/sadness/anger/....things which I couldn't comprehend.
Anger/disappointment had taken over me, that I didn't think straight at all...I got even more furious when I saw Sonia walking down the stairs which which connected to the first floor, where my dad's and her bedroom was.
"Honey..." Ugh that voice!,she slowly put her hand on my fathers shoulder,'trying' to coax him."You should calm down,It's not good for your health.It's fine now..she is back right ? she patted on his back and that was...actually calming him down. I am really disappointed for some reason...With that I thought to act more childish and infuriate my dad.Before Sonia could continue speaking more,I interrupted. I put my right hand out in the air, That seemed to have got his attention...because I had kept my mum's wedding ring...
"Ahh..well would you look at this!! Do you Mr.Robertson remember this...?" I waved my hand in front of him and there was a shock written on all of their faces... "ah this is the' wedding ring' of your late wife, Funny how the things engraved on this are nothing but a complete bluff. Nothing but a complete lie...What great man you are..." yeah,there were things engraved in dads writing for mom, what he felt when he met her first time...
"How-, where- did you get-..." I ignored it and walked past him, and Sonia's eyes were practically GLUED to my ring finger of my left hand, Because I remember how she used bring up randomly 'how beautiful' mums ring is, and what a 'wonderful husband' she has and how envious Sonia always felt. She may have gotten the 'husband' but I'm not letting her have the ring.
*****************************
I came into my room and locked myself, blocking out any voices I was hearing from outside. It's still early so I decided to take a warm shower and get comfy in my bed.30 Minutes later, I came out dressed in my: grey joggers, plain adidas white tee.I laid down, reminiscing about the things which have happened in these past years, how it used to be and how it is now. I put all of my body weight on my left-side and put my left arm, and bringing closer my left-forearm, I am always wearing my wrist watches on left hand, so no one knows/no one has seen my tattoo; that is so close to my heart, it makes me feel I am close to mum,that she is always keeping an 'eye' on me...watching over me. So I found one of her last picture, and I got a tattoo of her right eye...so beautiful, so clear,charming...that's what a person can say about mum just by looking in her 'grey ore' eyes which I got from her...but hers were more 'sparkling'. With these thoughts running in my mind I eventually slept...
*knock*knock*
"Miss! Someone is here to see you, Mr.Robertson is requesting you to come down!" she emphasizes
the word 'request'...of course he 'requested' after what I showed him.
"Okay!! I got! Now stop shouting! " I yelled
I just wore my plain white sneakers and dark grey crop jacket which came a little above waist..

*Hallelujah* WTF is he doing here?! I saw Kyle as I was walking around the second floor and coming downstairs, which connects to 'a personal living room' where only we hang around and don't normally bring the guests here. I walked behind the sofa dad and brother were sitting on, both mother-daughter were there as well, where Seirra chose to sit next to Kyle trying all her best to get his attention, where he just blanked her (pftt)While I on the other hand,just glared at him,just glare...
Both the mother-daughter pair have so busy trying to talk to him that they didn't notice me until dad did. "Uhm" I cleared my throat grabbing that bastar*s attention, ignoring my dad and just keeping an eye contact with him. "So, what are you here for?" I asked.
He stood up and took few steps towards me but still kept quite distance, "For you" giving me a sweet smile.
'This can't be good' I thought. "So? what do you need me for"
"I am here to take you" he said showing me his pearly teeth
"Where?" looking all confused now, dad was about to open hi mouth but Kyle interrupted him.
"Bring you to my house,uh uh our house, You are my fiance so you will be living with me...I have already got your fathers permission so just go pack up" his smile just grew wider and narrowing my eyes at him I had the urge to punch his.I turned to my dad, only to see him avoid the eye contact and I am yet again, disappointed. I took a last look at my dad and turned around, went upstairs to my room. And just packed up.
After what felt like forever I came down with two big suitcase and two a bit smaller than the big one and Kyle's bodyguards came and picked it.Without saying any 'goodbyes' or something I swiftly made my way through but I almost forgot something, and turned to my dad. It kinda looked as if I was hugging him, but whispered in his ears "I want your part of shares...of McCains Enterprise..." I took few steps back and saw him just nod. I turned again to leave but I stopped in my tracks,looked at dad "And cancel your contract with Simon, I will sign one with him" with that I finally made my way out without waiting for a reply from him.
