My son turned out to be more gutsy than I had initially thought. After all that drama about his lover and kid, I thought, I could break through his exterior of stubbornness. Who would have thought that it would backfire on me? I am impressed by his kin mind but am equally irritated that this cleverness of his had put me in spot. To think a day would come when my son would fight me for some outsider! When did he got so out of my control?
*Flashback*
"I can compromise. Marry Sarah and I will allow you to keep that Omega as your mistress" I said smiling, knowing I have caught on all his weakness
"And allow my son to be called illegitimate?" Robbie asked with a dark fierce look in his eyes
"You can declare him your legitimate son" I shrugged, "Unless the world finds about your mistress or your relations.h.i.+p with Tony or about the kid's origin, I don't see how your son would be treated like an illegitimate-"
"I refuse! I won't take that risk. You might not care about your son but I do about mine. Fine, I wouldn't abdicate my position neither would I marry Sarah nor would I give up on Tony. You can go ahead and try to convince Tony out of court but let me tell you, as Twen's father, I would only accept Twen's custody if Tony comes along with it" Robbie said, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng dangerously
I was quite bewildered to listen to his resolution. Who would have thought that he would take such an odd decision? But I was not about to give in. I stood up stomping my feet and glaring at Robbie who glared back,
"So, you don't care what happens to you mother?"
"Don't you threaten me with mum's name!! You know it better than me that she doesn't need you to survive and the divorce would affect your reputation way more than hers. Do you think I am blind? That I don't know what sort of relations.h.i.+p you both have?" Robbie retorted back
This time I really have nothing to say. Me and my wife had a marriage of convenience. It was fixed by our parents and I had to agree. After marriage we hardly ever spent time together. We barely had any connection or even conversation. We put on a farce in front of the media and our parents. As the days pa.s.sed by, the more distant we grew. Until she ended up demanding divorce. If it was not because of her being pregnant with Robbie, we would have divorced long back.
This had been a shameful part of my life but to hear it directly from my son, I couldn't help but tremble in anger and humiliation. Was the divide in our relations.h.i.+p that apparent? I thought I had successfully deceived my parents as well as the whole world. Who would have thought that my very own son had caught on to it!!
I saw Robbie glowering at me. The momentary pause seem to create a suffocating air around us. I gritted my teeth and stared at him with angry eyes. It was few minutes where we both stared at each other. Finally, Robbie spoke in a low and threatening voice,
"Mum had given up a lot for me even staying in this meaningless relations.h.i.+p. I am pretty sure, you don't want the truth about this relations.h.i.+p public. If it was not for mum, I would have gone to the media by now"
Saying this he stormed out of the room without looking back
*End*
I clenched and unclenched my fist in anger. This boy dared to threaten his own father. His mother is not the only one living in this meaningless relations.h.i.+p. I am too. His mother is not the only one suffering, I had to too. But I respected my father's wishes and married where he asked me to. So, did his mother. Then, what was his problem from complying to his father's wishes? Haven't I given him everything that he needed? Or maybe I had given him too much freedom that now he can talks back to me!
This was all that digusting Omega's fault. To turn my son against me, he thinks he can get away scot free? I would make him pay dearly for it.
"What's wrong with you? You don't look good!" asked a brusque voice
I turned to look at a man with tanned skin, bright light brown eyes, voluminous dark hair and properly cut beard. He was tall and had a strong exercised body. Though, the man was in his late forties, he barely seemed to have crossed thirty five. He was smiling at me lightly.
"I am fine, Stephen. Actually I am quite surprised that you took some time out of your busy schedule" I chuckled trying to lighten the mood
"Haaahh! It's all thanks to my daughter's mad love for your son. I just can't say no to her" Stephen said, shaking his head
"You have spoiled her too much" I sighed
"Well, Sarah is my only daughter. And she doesn't have a mother. How could I not spoil her" he said, looking a little helpless
This was Stephan Olsen, Sarah's father, and the recent congress member. He had been my friend while he was in Import-Export business. But ever since he became a congressman, he had been extremely busy. I don't even remember when was the last time I had met him. Today, he came along with me as he was extremely p.i.s.sed at Sarah being ditched by my son, who was completely into Tony. He wanted to see my son's lover with his own eyes and I simply agreed.
To be honest, I wouldn't want this guy as my enemy. Unlike me, who prefers doing everything by using law and its loopholes as a weapon, he doesn't give a s.h.i.+t about it. He had learn't his way around law ever since his Import-Export days, where he deceived the custom and excise officers on a regular basis. It's better not to go by his face value and sweet talks, he was one nasty and crooked character. In front of the world and media, he cuts as a tragic figure who had lost his wife and had been living as a single parent and bulls.h.i.+t about how the country had taken care of him and his daughter so he wants to return this favor by serving the country c.r.a.p
Sprouting such lies without blinking, breaking laws without guilt, and using people for his own benefits, this guy is nothing short of an a**hole. I can't even count how many of his employees and a.s.sistant he had eaten up, most of whom are Omegas. He had used their job, their ident.i.ty, the society's biasness towards them as leverage to get them on his bed. Some of who are his daughter's age. I wonder if the word 'shame' even exist in his dictionary. Robbie calls me biased just because I can't tolerate Omega! Maybe I am, but at least, I allow them to work and earn a living without forcing them to sell their bodies to me. It is still a mystery to me as to how the people of this country gobble up his nonesense without even the slightest suspicion.
"By the way, Ricardo, why didn't you throw that Omega out of the Resort?" Stephen asked casually
"The Resort project is in Robbie's hand not mine. The employment and firing of an employee is decided by Robbie" I answered curtly
"I wonder what so good about that man that Robbie would reject MY daughter for it. Is it his performance on bed! Huh! Omegas sure have a s.l.u.tty body"
"Robbie is bonded to him and has had a son with him too. Alphas once choose their soulmates, it is a little hard to break the bond" I said hmph-ing irritably as the argument from before flashed before me
"Bonded?" Stephen looked at me a little astonished, "Huh! No wonder he is running after that guy"
I didn't say anything. I saw the Resort slowly coming into view. I couldn't help being impressed by the looks of it. Robbie definitely knows what he is doing. Afterall, he is MY son! The Resort was more eye pleasing than I thought. I felt proud even through my anger over Robbie.
As the car entered the parking area and parked, Stephen suddenly laughed, before saying with a lecherous look on his face and a finger caressing his lips,
"I wonder how a Bonded Omegas would taste!"
