Chapter 138
Akira's POV
The morning sun seeping through the window and my eyelashes battered I woke up to the bright light that almost blinded me, I shut my eyes almost immediately before I finally sat up on the bed.
Let out a yawn and pulled the duvet covering me, last night was the longest night for me, after I asked Amelia the reason she abandoned me, she ended up telling me that she didn't abandon me but I was taken away by my father, although she didn't give me more details, she only show me the letter father left for her, the handwriting was that of the man that I had called Dad all my life but the name she had given me wasn't the name of the man I had called Dad all my life, she told me, she would get me a sketch of my father, and I am hoping what I am thinking wasn't the truth.
I didn't want to assume that my dad was playing my mother giving her a wrong name wasn't something I think my dad could do. I know Dad could be a lot of things, but deceit was something I could never think of associating father with.
But if ever he did give her the wrong name, it meant something was off and that he didn't genuinely fall in love with Mother. Probably, someone made him do that, it might be a game plan but who would want him to do that? And what is the real deal? So many thoughts, ran in my head before I pushed them away.
I arrived home late last night and Meredith didn't drive me back because Amelia insisted on driving me here, he had no choice but to let her. I grabbed my phone thinking that I might have missed a lot of calls since last night, because I was too tired to make a call when I returned, but there were no calls apart from Amelia's message asking if I was already up. "He didn't even call."
I sighed when I couldn't find a single message or call from Wolfie, I wanted to call him, when Vida pushed her head from behind the door. "Oh, the princess of the Shan group is awake," I rolled my eyes at her.
"Don't do that, it doesn't befit a princess. You know you should always be prim and proper." with squinting eyes I stared at Vida.
"Prim and Proper, uh?" I asked, sniffing my laughter.
"Yeah! Don't you know as a princess, you should learn this aristocratic etiquette?"
"Really?" I asked folding my hand under my bosom while I had a twitched lips.
"Of course, you need to learn how to eat, talk and walk, like this elite..." I watched her pixel curl hair wave down her back, as she tried to walk like a female, my eyes glittering, at the way she was moving her body, I smiled, getting off the bed, I was lying while almost wanting to laugh at Vida's nonsensical actions.
"Gosh! Vida, you know you are beautiful?" She stopped suddenly and tied her hair into a bun.
"You should stop teasing me." She said, I wanted to say something but her voice came up, "I waited for you all night but you were nowhere in sight. I wanted to call but I guess you needed that moment with your mom." I sighed knowing she had changed the topic.
"And you decided to leave without seeing me?" I fold my hands under my bosom. She ruffles her hair before she give a timid smile.
"I was bored, staying here without anyone to talk to and no job, I decided to hit the bar."
"Naughty girl."
"Don't worry, I will turn a new leaf, after now, whenever you go out, I could keep a tracker on you, probably you could be my new job since I don't have one." I smiled at her words, "Now tell me, what did she say? Did she tell you who your father is?" I shake my head.
"She said my dad's name is Todd Evans..."
"Does it mean that you are not related to Linda and her mother? And that Uncle Ross didn't cheat on Aunty Sarah?"
"I don't know yet, because the stuff is confusing, one minute she is calling the man who left a letter for her Todd, and the next she is showing me the letter that contains Dad's handwriting, I didn't want to assume dad gave her a wrong name but I still didn't want to push the thought completely that my dad must have given her a wrong name." My expression becomes dull at the possibility that my dad is not just a womanizer but a fraudster, probably he didn't love Mother, he only wanted her money.
I felt down and I didn't want to assume the worst.
Vida grabbed my hand, squeezing it a bit, "Forget about who the heck is your father, and what he looks like or what he is. You should enjoy the rest of your family, you know if I were you, I would be happy with the new family I had found, you got a great grandfather, a caring mother and a cousin that is a gladiator. You could stir up trouble and he will just appear here and shoo those bullies from you." I laughed at her words. I still don't have the details of the story that made, her keep referring to Roe as a gladiator but I knew she told me that Roe was protecting Mother from the arms of one mafia lord.
"I guess I could hook you up with the gladiator when I finally unite with my family, that way you two could become a strong team, knowing you are a gladiator as well." She hit my shoulder glaring at me.
"No, I am not."
"Of course you are, don't you fight the same way he does?"
"No, I don't." She shrugged her shoulder frowning.
"Stop frowning, you know I don't lie. You fight like him and you Vida, you know you are a hooligan."
"What the fuck Akira? I am not a hooligan, I only defend myself and don't go fighting those that don't look for my trouble," I looked at her having that smug grin before she signed, "Sometimes I wish I had smacked Lady Cassandra's head against the wall those times that I have work with her and that way I wouldn't be regretting that I le get walked over me and did do anything to stop her because no matter how loyal I was to her, in the end, she still shows me the door like I was some piece of trashed." She sighed, and I watched her lamenting.
"Forget about Lady Cassandra, she is one hell of an asshole." She nodded but her nose was still flaring. "hey stop that, stop thinking about what you should have done to her and not do it, if not, you are going to prove me right that you are a gladiator-like my cousin."
"Akira..." She called in frustration before I laughed, watching her crumpled face was amazing.
"Fine, I will stop, talking about work, I could tell Wolfie to get you a job in the company..."
"Really? You will do that for..." Before she could complete her words, we heard the bell resonating sound, my heart raced thinking it was Wolfie.
"Wolfie..." I murmured throwing the duvet off my body as I raced to the door and pulled the door. My lips formed a zero seeing the fellow standing there.
"Who is it Akira?"
