Extra 38: A Father’s Fears

Honestly, it was a strange conversation for James, one he never thought he’d have… in fact, not even in his wildest dreams did he imagine having this kind of interaction with the man who was supposedly his biological father.

After telling him a bit about his school life, James paid the bill and said goodbye to Roger, as he had to get back to the office; he didn’t want to be away from work for too long.

When he entered the conference room, he saw his father talking to some other architects.

“Great, we’re all set then,” Jayden said, dismissing them. “Son, how did it go?” he asked as James approached him.

“Fine, but it was weird.”

“So... has he started to feel his age?”

“I think so,” James replied, making a face.

“And what did he want?”

These are the reports of the current buildings for sale in the city.”“Huh… are you already looking into that?”“Well, son, your sister graduates next year, and a year is not a lot of time to start a company from scratch.”“Will it already be furnished for her?” he asked, taking the documents to read them.“Yes, that’s why I want to buy a warehouse to remodel or a vacant lot so you and your dad can work your magic to build it and make it just like Elizabeth wants.”“It’s a project I can’t wait to start,” James said excitedly.“Your little siblings are also helping me, looking into sewing stores to buy industrial

    "Sir, today is your wife's birthday. Don't you want to go back to the apartment?" asked the driver of the luxurious SUV."I told you not to mention her," snapped the man with black hair, frowning."I'm sorry, sir," the driver said, looking troubled, and continued driving back to the company.Roger Peterson, the CEO of the city's top tech company, grimaced before leaning back in his seat, staring out the window.He was the pride of his family, nearly perfect, but his talents and good looks were overshadowed by one flaw: the woman who lived under the same roof, the one who ruined his life.Roger frowned again, thinking about her. He hated her so much that he even cursed her existence, wondering why she didn't just die. Unfortunately for him, he was bound to her forever by some cruel twist of fate.When they arrived at the company, Roger sighed and got out to head to his office.After a while, he tried to relax in his chair, closing his eyes for a moment to clear his mind of the da

    "So, you recorded them having sex?" a female voice asked over the phone.The other person tapped back a response in Morse code: [Yes, she didn't hang up.]"Excellent... well, you know the plan."[Don't worry, I understand.]"When I bring your cake and gift tomorrow, give me those recordings so I can hand them to my husband for him to help you file for the divorce."[Thank you.]"You don't need to thank me. Rest well." the person said before ending the call.The woman who communicated in Morse code sighed, feeling her eyes sting with impending tears. Remembering how her husband professed love to his mistress was painful.She walked slowly to her room and paused at the large mirror in the hallway. The reflection showed a beautiful woman with slightly wavy brown hair, though her eyes were swollen from sadness. The blue of her eyes was unique, her figure slender—perhaps not as voluptuous as Sophia's, but well-proportioned.The blue-eyed woman was undeniably attractive, if not for

    The outing lifted Deborah’s spirits. Caroline bought her a birthday present and they had a meal at a restaurant before returning to Deborah’s apartment because Caroline insisted on not leaving her alone. But their pleasant mood vanished upon arriving at Deborah’s door, where an older woman was banging and shouting."Open up, you mute b*tch!" screamed the older woman with platinum blonde hair, pounding on the door. When she saw them, she snapped, "Who do you think you are? Why aren’t you at home? My poor son suffers because of you.""Mrs. Peterson, this is an apartment building and your shouting is disturbing everyone," Caroline retorted."Shut up, you beggar," Mrs. Peterson shot back before turning to Deborah, demanding she open the door.Deborah reluctantly opened the door, and the older woman shoved her aside as she entered.

    After the scandal, Roger escorted his mother back home, warning Deborah that they would have a serious talk that night.“Thank you, my son,” his mother sighed in relief as they reached the car. “But how did you know?”“Fabian got a call from one of our police friends, who told us they were sending a couple of officers to the house,” he explained as he helped her into the car. “That’s why I left the office early. I wanted to see what that idiot had done, but I didn’t expect that fool Cooper to try to have you arrested.”“Oh, I’m sorry, my love. I just get so angry when I’m made to wait. And I didn’t think that idiot would leave the house.”“I didn’t know she left the house either. But it’s over, Mom. Tonight, I’ll scold her for being so irresponsible to leave you waiting outside and making you go through this.”“Yes, Son. Punish her so she doesn’t do it again.”Fabian listened quietly, feeling disgusted by their attitude towards Deborah, but he was unable to say anything because h

My motivation was seeing how his drawings came to life… it excited me to the point where I wanted to do the same, and as the days went by, that desire grew stronger, so I decided to make it a reality,” he said, his excitement evident in his words. “Though I also saw that Uncle did something similar by turning his sketches into beautiful jewelry, but that didn’t impress me as much.”“I see, but didn’t my dad teach you the basics of the company?”“Yes, Grandpa showed me the trade,” James said with a smile. “In fact, I’m a good appraiser, and I know how to make jewelry because Uncle also taught me the basics of jewelry design and creation.

It was the first time Roger had called him by his name, and he could see that Roger seemed genuinely sorry and defeated.

I think whatever happened last night should have made the situation clear.”“But…”“They no longer see me as family, and they never recognized you as such, so just forget about it because it’s only the three of us, no one else.”“No…”“Cassandra, enough,” her mother scolded. “I told you yesterday not to go, and all you did was humiliate yourselves in public,” she said, looking her daughter in the eyes. “Grow up already.

He ignored the cries of his ‘daughter’ as he headed to the nearest bar to have a drink and try to clear his mind.Seeing his father defeated and exhausted had made him stop and think.While sipping his third beer, he raised his gaze and saw his reflection in the mirror behind the bar, realizing that an old man was staring back at him... which scared him. He now looked at his hands, which had more wrinkles than he remembered. When had he changed so much?His once beautiful hair was now streaked with gray, his face showed his age, and he had dark circles under his dull eyes.When had he gotten so old?And why did he look like this?He was supposed to age gracefully, but that wasn’t the case... because what he saw in that mirror was a shell of the successful man he once was.He thought back to James.
