"I've been worried about you."I hugged her back, feeling a sense of gratitude towards her. "I know," I said. "And I'm sorry. I know I haven't been easy to live with lately."My wife smiled and shook her head. "You don't ha

We had been together for a year now, and every day with her was a gift.One day, as I was sitting in my office, I had an idea. I picked up the phone and dialed Alex's number. He answered on the first ring, and I could hear the sound of his keyboard clacking in the background."Hey, man," I said. "I need your help with something.""Shoot," Alex replied. "What's up?""I want to surprise Bridgette," I said. "I want to ask her to marry me again, but this time, I want it to be special. I want it to be just the two of us, and I want it to be a surprise."Alex's keyboard clacking stopped, and I could hear the sound of his chair creaking as he leaned back. "That's a great idea," he said. "I'm in. What do you need me to do?"I smiled, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation. "I need you to help me plan the perfect proposal

“Didn't I tell you before that you should never do anything stupid in your school? What about this, I heard from Mr. Cruz that you got into a fight with your classmates again? You still don't learn from what I preached to you, huh?” My father said to me angrily and horrified as he hit me with his long and thick belt from behind my legs. I was only seventeen years old then when my father tortured me from four in the afternoon until sunset. I was almost lying on the floor at that moment when I couldn't stand or even get up because of the scars and bruises that I got on different parts of my body. “I wouldn't have adopted you if I only knew you were trouble in my life.” That was the last thing he said to me before he walked out the door and left. After that, his secretary, Mr. Cruz, opened the door and walk closer to me not to help me but to watch me with a dark smile on his lips. “Next time, don't take my every word for granted, so it doesn't happen to you, do you understand?” He sai

Not only once did he bring another woman inside our house but many times and almost all of those who become my private tutors become his secret lover, but all of that my mother did not know. Over time, a lot has happened in that mansion, a lot has changed, and I've been keeping plenty of secrets related to my father. I lived in that family as a quiet student and perfect child, as they expected me to be. I've gotten used to the dark place where I don't feel lonely anymore when I'm alone. Furthermore, I've gotten used to what's happening around me, and I've learned to accept my fate. Many years ago, I almost forgot about my past and who I really am or where I came from. I considered them as my real parents where I got used to interacting with different people who are big names in the industry and business. I was known as quiet, cold-hearted, intelligent, talented and good in the field of sports.“At the age of seventeen, who would have thought that your son Anton was a perfect man? Perh

When I got home, I went straight to my room and locked myself in. I sat in the dark corner as I hugged my legs and rested my forehead on my arms. After a while, I heard a loud opening of the door and my father's angry voice.“Where's Anton? Anton!” he shouted loudly as he looked for me everywhere until I just heard his loud knocking outside the door. “Anton! Open this door of yours right now!” he added as he kept knocking and kicking the door, and I could tell by the tone of his voice that he was outraged with what I did at the party earlier. However, I did not listen to him nor did I open the door for him, instead I remained sitting where I was while I stared at the door. After a few moments, the whole surroundings suddenly became silent, where the noise I heard from outside suddenly disappeared. I swallowed deeply because I was suddenly unnerved by the eerie silence, as I was still staring at the door. After a while, I suddenly heard the opening of the door knob where my eyes widene

“You are now husband and wife.” After the priest said that, Brigitte and I faced each other as she smiled and looked at me while putting her hand on my left arm. We walked together in the center out of the church while we were cheered by the people around us and where they all had happy smiles on their lips, including those people who made this plan. When we left the church, our parents stopped in front of the two of us, where his mother hugged her while Dad fixed my black tie.“Make her the happiest girl in this world, son.” Dad whispered to me and his face showed that he couldn't hide the joy he felt after witnessing one of the achievements in his life and that is marrying me to this woman who is the daughter of one of the richest businessmen and has the most connection in this industry. Although I didn't understand what he meant to me, I just nodded my head and tried to draw a short smile on my lips at the same time he patted me on my shoulder.“My son, that's what I'll call you fr

I walked into the night club, the loud music and flashing lights enveloping me like a warm hug. I made my way to the bar, ordering a whiskey on the rocks. I downed it in one gulp, feeling the burn all the way down my throat. I ordered another, and another, losing count of how many I'd had. The music and lights began to blur together, and I felt myself becoming numb. I pulled out my phone and dialed Alex's number. He answered on the first ring, and I could hear the concern in his voice. "Hey, man, what's going on?" he asked. I took a deep breath, letting it all spill out. I told him about my father, about the hospital, about the anger and hurt that had been building up inside me for so long. I told him about how I'd wanted to take revenge, to make my father pay for all the pain he'd caused me. But how now, it seemed like that was impossible. "I'm so disappointed, Alex," I said, feeling the tears prick at the corners of my eyes. "I'm so disappointed that I'll never get to take rev

As I stood there, gazing at my father's frail form, I felt a wave of emotions wash over me. I felt a sense of anger, of resentment, of bitterness. And I knew that I had to let it all out, to tell him everything that I had been carrying inside me for so long."You want to know what it was like to be your son?" I spat, my voice trembling with rage. "You want to know what it was like to be tortured and abused by you? To be made to feel worthless and unloved? To be suffocated by your cruelty and your hatred?"I took a step closer to him, my eyes blazing with fury. "I'll tell you," I said, my voice low and menacing. "It was hell. It was a living nightmare that I couldn't wake up from. It was a constant feeling of fear and dread, never knowing when you would lash out at me next."I felt a lump form in my throat as I thought about all the times I had tried to kill myself, all the times I had wanted to escape the pain and the suffering that my father had inflicted upon me."I tried to kill my

I stood there, frozen in shock, as I gazed at the frail, elderly man sitting in the wheelchair. His skin was pale and translucent, his eyes sunken, and his head was completely bald. He looked like a shadow of his former self, a mere specter of the man I had once known.And yet, despite the ravages of time and illness, I knew that this was my father. I could see it in his eyes, in the shape of his nose, in the curve of his lips. It was a face that I had once loved, once trusted, and now...Now, I felt a wave of emotions wash over me. Anger, sadness, pity, and frustration all swirled together in a toxic mix that left me feeling breathless and bewildered.The nun's voice cut through my thoughts, her words a gentle reminder that I was not alone. "Your father has been waiting for you for a long time," she said, her eyes filled with compassion. "He's been suffering from a terminal illness, a brain cancer that has taken its toll on his body and mind."I felt a surge of anger at her words. Ho

I stood outside the cold, grey walls of the prison, my heart racing with anticipation. I had been thinking about this moment for weeks, ever since I had finally cleared my name and started rebuilding my life with Bridgette.But there was still one thing that had been nagging at me, one thing that I couldn't shake off. My father. Where was he? And what was he planning next?I knew that Sophia was the key to finding out. She had been my father's partner in crime, and I was sure that she knew where he was hiding.I took a deep breath and stepped inside the prison, my eyes scanning the drab, institutional surroundings. I was greeted by a stern-looking guard, who eyed me warily."Can I help you?" he growled."I'm here to visit Sophia," I said, my voice firm.The guard raised an eyebrow. "You're the one who was accused of working with her, aren't you?" he said.I nodded. "That was all a misunderstanding," I said. "I've been cleared of all charges."The guard snorted. "Well, you're still not
