” You have never disobeyed my orders Raymond. Never have you talked to me like this. But this girl, she made you something else. She is not good for you Raymond. I had to throw her out of your life. It’s for your sake.” he replied in the same calm tone.
“Wha- Wait I don’t get it. Forget about me dad. Why did you made her sign this deal?”
He took a deep breath before answering.
“Look at you Raymond. So messed up. I told you not to play football but you did. I told you to come back from the football camp but you didn’t. I told you that you are going to oxford for majors in science but you didn’t listen to me. Instead you applied for some stupid scholarship for football. You did everything I told you not to all because of this girl. Am I right?” he questioned me with a raised eyebrow.
” Dad that is a different matter. That is my life which you cannot control. I am not here to talk about all this. I am here to talk about Sophie. What do you want dad. Why are you doing this to her?”
” I want her out of your life. I want you to stay away from her otherwise I will be compelled to give these documents, and David Esinbergs’ daughter inventing high antihistamines sedative to be used as drugs for young kids, It would make quite a paparazzi, wouldn’t it? ” he now had a expression of complete victory on his face.
” NO. No dad, You cannot do this. Not to her. She didn’t…. she didn’t change me. She just helped me bring out the real me. She found me. She found the real me. Behind that facade face she found the real me. I am not one of yours puppet! I am not going to do this to her.” I said with fierce in my eyes. My fists were clenched to my sides with anger.
” It’s your choice son. If you don’t do it. Then I think it will not take me much time to finish off her career, maybe to shatter her dream and ah, telling her about her Father’s true identity, It would hurt her. Just think about it son. The look in her eyes when she finds the solution to an intricate problem or when she won that award, it’ll be gone. Her life will shatter, ”
I can’t believe my Father is doing something like this to his own son. How can he be so monstrous. He is anything but evil.
“That’s low” I replied in a low but cold voice.
“Do it.” he simply said shrugging off everything I said to him.
” She doesn’t know about the deal does she?” I asked him.
“No. I made her sign these and she doesn’t even have a clue about this deal. She’s just as dumb as her pathetic Father,” he shrugged.
I sighed in defeat. I know there is no way out of this mess. I have to do it. I have to break her heart only for her to stand and rise again. I don’t want her to sacrifice what she have. i know how it feels like when you do something that is forced on you. I know how it feels when you are handcuffed and not allowed to chase your dream. When you are not allowed to become who you really are.
I don’t want her to go through that shit. It’s miserable. The thing which scares the shit out of me is her being behind the bars. This contract clearly says that if the compound is found being misused Sophie is the one responsible and that Amanada Corporations has nothing to do with her or the compound. Whereas The Amanda Corp. is the one misusing it.
I have to do this.
I have to save her.
