CHAPTER 111
LUCAS POV
As soon as I got to dad’s house I was desperate to leave. But when I walked in the front door, I saw his usual staff walking around. They were busy doing whatever dad had told them to so I headed straight to the office and dad was on the phone with other people in the room looking rather scared.
As I walked in they all looked at me, but I just strode across the room and sat in one of the chairs that was on the other side of the desk from dad.
As soon as he slammed down the phone he barked out orders at everyone that was standing in the office and they scurried off to do as they were told.
“Well, it’s good to see that you don’t just talk to me like that.” I said.
“Can’t you see that we are in a crisis here? Someone is trying to take over my business.” He yelled.
“How is that even possible? You created the business and you are the CEO. No one can just walk in and take it away.”
“They can if they have been buying stocks for my business without me knowing. Why the hell didn’t you pick up on that?” Dad yelled at me.
“I’m the enforcer dad. I’ve never seen a shred of paperwork from this fucking business and I don’t intend to now. Don’t put your fucking incompetence down on me.” I snapped.
“Alright. Let’s talk about you. Why aren’t you at school anymore?” He asked.
“I’m doing everything online. We all are.”
“Is that because of the little whore that you’re living with now?”
“If you’re going to keep talking about Skylar like that then I will get the hell out of here now. So, why don’t you just tell me what you want.” I demanded.
Dad leaned back on his chair to stare at me. The same stare that used to scare me, but he knew that it didn’t work anymore. He was trying to size me up, but that wasn’t going to work either.
I wasn’t giving him anything that he could use against me. And I stayed as relaxed as possible without him knowing that he was getting to me about Skylar.
“Fine. I need you to find out who this bastard is with the stocks and go pay him a little visit. If he doesn’t sell me back my stock options then you are going to kill him.” Dad ordered.
“And then the stock options will go to his beneficiary in his will.”
“I don’t care. We’ll do the same thing to them. Just get those fucking stock options back.” He yelled.
Someone then knocked on the door and I turned to see dad’s very intimidated assistant standing there.
“I’m sorry, sir. But there’s a very important phone call that you need to take.” She said.
“Why the fuck do I have to do everything around here? Why can’t anyone handle a simple phone call on their own?” My father ranted, leaving the room.
I looked at the phone that was sitting on his desk but there were no lights on it. I knew that all calls came through to the office, so why the hell did he have to leave for a phone call.
His cell phone was left on the desk as well, so I turned around to see where he was but he had closed the door so I was left in the office by myself.
I grabbed his cell phone and I opened it to see that there were a lot of phone numbers that I didn’t know. So I grabbed my phone and I took a photo of the numbers, which was a lot quicker than writing them down.
I put his phone back where it was and I grabbed a file that he had under a stack of papers.
When I walked into the office it looked like he had tried to hide the file so I wouldn’t see it, but he should know me better than that by now.
I opened it up to reveal a whole heap of photos that really put me off. I shook my head as I started looking through them.
“Same old dad. Same old fetishes.” I said looking through the photos looking disgusted.
I was flipping through the photos when I stopped suddenly and stared at one photo that caught my attention immediately.
I heard dad coming back towards the office so I put the photos back in the folder and hid them back under the stack of papers on his desk.
I stood up as he opened the door again and he walked in to see me standing there.
“Just send me the details of the people you need me to go and see. I’ll get to it as soon as I can.” I said, hurrying to the door.
“Lucas.” Dad said. So I stopped and turned around to look at him.
He didn’t say anything to me, but stood there and stared at me again. Like he was trying to figure me out.
But I turned around and left the office and the house.
As soon as I got in the car I sped away and I took the long way home, making sure that he didn’t have any of his goons following me.
As soon as I walked inside the house Skylar was walking down the stairs and I smiled when I saw her. She looked at me with worry on her face because of how I was when I left.
But when she got to the bottom of the stairs, I wrapped her in a hug. That was all I needed right now. Just a hug from my girl to make me feel better.
“Hey, is everything alright?” Harry asked, coming from down the hallway.
“Yeah. It will be.” I said.
“Alright. Well, Jax is getting everything ready. We had to go out this afternoon.”
“Yeah. He’s just sent me information for someone else that he wants us to go and see. I’m going to stay here with Skylar. You two can handle it.” I said.
Skylar and Harry looked at me really strangely. I was always the one that went on these little missions because it was my father that was sending us on them. But this time I was adamant. I was standing home with Skylar.
I explained everything about this new guy that they had to go and see so they understood what they had to do and Jax and Harry could both tell that something was wrong. But they didn’t question it.
They know that I always have a reason behind every decision and right now, I was deciding that Skylar wasn’t going on these missions and I was staying with her.
So once they got everything together, they left the house and Skylar was sitting on the kitchen bench with a coffee.
“So, are you going to tell me what’s really going on?” She asked.
“What do you mean?”
“You’re not fooling anyone. Not any of us, anyway.” She said. So I walked over to her and stood between her legs while she was on the bench.
“I can’t really talk about it. Believe me, I wish I could. But I can’t.” I said. So she leaned forward and kissed me.
“I thought we agreed, no secrets.” She said.
“I know. And I will tell you. But not right now.” I said. So she nodded her head and I leaned forward and kissed her again.
