Chapter 76 Resolution

Chapter seventy-six
Dave
I blink once, then twice, unable to take in what she said.
It seems like I didn't hear it clearly. Why would Jones tell me she doesn't love me again? She told me this morning that she did.
I mean why will Jones tell me this?
I look at Jones now, "Why?"
The tears are falling from her face but her expression is unapologetic, "Do I need a reason to stop loving you? I don't like anything about you! Please, never look for me because I'm not even going to have a feeling that you are no more in my life," she says and walk out.
I couldn't move my feet, it felt as though my life just stopped before me.
I can't even think properly. It felt like something is affecting my brain.
The tears threatening to come down can't even be stopped. I feel so miserable, I feel my life stop before me.
I turn away and walk out of the house. Jones has already gone. She doesn't even want to see me again. It's like I'm a speck of dirt to her.
She doesn't want me to come after her. Seriously?
And my father didn't threaten her. Is she serious about that?
I enter the car, "Drive me home now!" I tell Steven and he gunned the engine car.
Can I say Jones who I believed not to be Cynthia is really as worst as Cynthia?
Jones told me she wouldn't leave me. She fucking promise me! But it seems she was telling me lies. She was nothing like what I thought. She's also like those ladies!
I thought she was different but it was all a lie!
The car pulls up in my house. I walk out of the house and into the sitting room. I stop for a while as I remember Jones in here when I was having my birthday party.
Gosh, we were so perfect. Everything was going really well until the kidnapping issue.
Wait for a moment, Cynthia didn't tell me that then as well. She didn't let me know then too. She told me she didn't love me. What she did and said then is very similar to what Jones just told me.
And they kept saying my father didn't threaten them.
Fuck! Why then didn't I think it that way?
I walk out of my house. I enter the car and drive towards my father's house.
I know he did this! He must have threatened Jones with something she couldn't avoid, something that would pain her so much if she lose it. Could it be her mother and brother?
I enter the compound of the devilish man I call my father. I didn't stop the car before walking out and rushing inside.
My father was in, drinking his coffee.
I walk in and study him for a while. The reason why my mother had to die then wasn't because of me but it was because of my father.
I don't even think he loves me one bit. The reason why I'm the one heading his company is that I'm intelligent and I'm the only legal son he has.
Aside from that, he has no feelings for me. And he doesn't even want my happiness. He wants everything to fall in his place.
My father looks up at me, "Dave, is something wrong!"
I heave a deep breath and walk nearer, "What did you do to Jones!" I scream at him. I feel so angry. I can feel my blood boiling. I hate the fact that he's my father.
Couldn't I have come through someone else? Someone better than this man?
"What did you say to Jones!" I scream again.
He jerks back slightly and gives me a dark frown, "What did she tell you I did to her?"
"Don't give me that expression. I won't get blinded by your lies again," I stare at him with a hatred expression. I know there's more he knows.
" I didn't see Jones or talk to her," he says innocently.
I know my father wouldn't speak the truth. He's always like that.
I smile faintly and move back, "Nice one. I have something to tell you then. I am stepping down as the CEO of your company," I say to him. I've been thinking and waiting for the day I will do this.
I guess it's the right time.
If my father wouldn't let me live a comfortable and happy life, I will leave then.
The shocked expression on my father's face was something I didn't expect, "You will let go of the company because of a girl?"
I stare at him for a while, " Jones is not a girl. She's the woman I love with all my life. Whether you love it or not, I am going to be with her!" I yell it out to him before walking out of the place.
"Dave! Come back here!x I hear him scream in anger but I didn't stop. I won't stop here.
I am going to drop all my rights as the CEO. I've been expecting today, that was why I created three of my company. I even built two houses under my name.
I have the money and the time to carry on with my life. He should fuck off and stay right at his place while I stay at mine.
Because no matter what he says, Jones is mine and will forever be.
I won't allow him to lead my life like he wishes to. It's high time, I stay on my own and act of my own volition.
I enter my car and drive straight to my house. I take things that are of the company and drive back to the company.
Everyone comes out to greet me. I wave at them, my heart in so much pain to even answer any greetings. I ignore Kimberly too and walk inside my office with the box with me.
I place it on the table and take my pictures in the office. I take my credit card and all sort of things that belong to me.
I walk out again and meet Kimberly. The others walk nearer.
"Are you going somewhere, Boss?" One asks.
I smile, "I seize to be your CEO as from today henceforth," I look at their faces, the faces of the people I'm used to.
It's time I start a new thing. I'm happy I'm doing this and I will do more, whatever I can as long as it will make me have peace with Jones.
I need to find Jones now.
