Chapter 046
Akira's POV
"Get off my face, I didn't come here for that, where is Mother?"
"Oh, harlot..."
"What did you just call me?"
"Aren't..."
"Forget it, Mother..." I screamed, wanting to go deep into the building when Linda pushed me back.
"Stop invading our house, you no longer leave here." I scoffed.
"Who wants to live in this disgusting place? Where is Mother? I am here for my necklace?"
"Your necklace?" Mother asked coming from one of the rooms, holding it, as the stuff dangles in the air. "You are looking for this?" I nodded.
"Yes, let me have my stuff and I will leave, here, isn't it money that you wanted? Take it and give it to me, so I leave." I dropped the money on the table and then aimed for the necklace but she withdrew it.
"Not so fast, I don't need money from you, but since you are offering one, who am I to refuse." She grabbed the money from the table before I could withdraw my money. "Thanks but no thanks, you will meet with Ethan..." My face darkened and I balled my fist, my nose flared with anger. No way, I am not meeting with Ethan, we don't have any fucking business together.
"You are not been serious right now, are you?" I asked Mother with a cold dry voice, I wanted to sound normal but I couldn't keep my cool.
"Of course, I am serious, you know that I don't like jokes and I hate it. So you will call Ethan and tell him that you are ready to meet him up at the bar."
"Mother, I am not going..."
"Then kiss this goodbye, just maybe, this is the only way that you could find your biological mother, that is if she even existed..."
"Is the necklace from my mother?" Mother and Linda laughed.
"Don't ask me, go to Ethan, he wants to see you."
"I don't want to see him. If it's money, I am giving you, so forget about Ethan, I don't want to..."
"It's not about money, it's something else..." Mother nudges Linda, stopping her from spilling the beans. My eyes move from mother to Linda.
"Is that asshole blackmailing you, tell me, what..."
"Shut up and get lost, do as you are told, if you still want the necklace, or I will pawn it."
"Fine, I will go, I will meet him but please, keep the..."
"Don't bargain with me, you have no right to do that." Mother yelled, I shut my eyes, I hate this, I told myself a thousand times, that I didn't want to see Ethan again but Mother kept forcing me to meet him.
When I get out of the house, I texted him that I will meet him at the bar, and the asshole told me that he will be there by 8 pm, I wanted to protest that I am not coming but on second thought, I aborted the idea, I worked in a club for two fucking years so I know my way around a bar. I don't think anyone could hurt me there.
So I decided to play along with him, when I told Vida about it, she wasn't comfortable with it but I told her, I could handle myself.
At exactly 8 pm, I was already walking into the bar, with my shoe sticking to the ground as a result of the alcohol poured on the floor and the buzzing sound echoing in the room, everything around reminded me of my past.
How I managed to endure this sound for two years is a misery to me. As I walked my way towards Ethan that is already sitting there, my mind began to flog me that I shouldn't be here but yeah, I am here now and there is no going back, I should put an end to this madness once, and for all. "Hey dear, I didn't think you would come." He said putting up a fake facade, I rolled my eyes, who is this idiot fooling? I could see through him before I thought he was perfect but now, all I could see was a green snake under the green grass that could bite anytime. He reached his hand to me, but I swatted his hand from my arms, I just felt uncomfortable around him, he was giving that dangerous vibe.
"What do you want?" I glared at him but he had that malicious grin on his lips.
"Want us to..."
"I don't to hear those prophecies of love and please..."
"I am not here for that, I am here for closure..." I look at him in shock. "I know I have been an asshole for months now and I have been hurting my baby with my actions. There have been so many misunderstandings between us and it hurts to see you in pain, so I have decided to let go of my feelings for you. I want us to have a closure, so even if we are no longer dating we could be friends, just as we were before we started dating. I will accept if you don't want to be my friend anymore, but please no more tricks on you, I don't want to hurt you anymore and don't want you to have hate in your heart for me..."
His voice and face laced with remorse and he was looking pitiful. But pitifully enough, I don't give a fuck about this new him, "That is alright, we are good now but I don't think we could be friends because you know this old saying, bad habits are hard to change." I said turning around to leave.
His voice came from behind, "After this night, I am leaving the country with my fiancee. All I wanted was to have a little talk with you, I don't want any bad blood between us.”
I stopped and looked at him, I never expected that from him, "Why will you want to quit, no one is pressing charges against you and your company is doing great here, I know how your father wanted you to make that company number one."
With a bitter smile place on his face, "Father kicked me out of the company, after what happened between me and you, he thought I didn't deserve to be the CEO of the company and one of his investors said he wasn't going to invest in the company if I remain the CEO."
After hearing this, I sympathize with him, it becomes so difficult to leave him there, I know it's my fault. Probably, Wolfie is responsible for it.
"I am..."
"It's fine, you don't have to sympathize with me, I caused it..," he said seeing my reaction, before his hand moved to mine. This time, I let his hand remain on mine, "I do not have many friends here and I didn't know how to explain everything to my fiancee without her judging me. If you are not in a hurry, you could join me for a glass but if you are, you could leave." He said turning to the glass he was holding while sipping from it.
"Just one glass..." I said.
"Fantastic..." He said turning to the barman, "A glass...,"
"Non-alcoholic," I added.
"Got you..." The bartender said, before pushing a glass to me, I grabbed it and drink it in one go, I shut my eyes, I just fuck up, I didn't smell before drinking, I am used to sniffing the drink but I don't know the reason I didn't.
"Hey, slow down..." He said, having a malicious grin on his lips.
I shut my eyes tight, I think I have to leave because I am starting to feel funny, "It's getting late, time to go..." I said standing up but I felt dizzy, and I fell back to the stool. "did you drug me?"
