Chapter Eighty Six

"What... What are you telling me? Are you saying... Are you saying that I can harm my child to get what I want?" Mr. Allen said nervously.

"Yes!! That's exactly what I am saying. You would go through any length for money. Keep your greed away from my family!!" Rose threatened.

"Dad, should I even call you that?? Do you deserve that title? I don't think you do. You don't deserve to be called a father. You, are a monster.!" Christopher said with hatred. "You have never loved me and I stopped begging for your love a long time ago. I stopped hoping you could love me a long time ago. Now, I have people who I will do anything to protect. You should stay away. This! Is your last warning.! The next time you will try this, I will not be nice!" Christopher added.

Mr. Allen felt like the ground should open up and swallow him at that moment. From what they were saying, they know what he has done. From Christopher's expression, he knows that they know what he tried to do. If they knew then, why did they pretend like they didn't know? Why did they make him feel happy that they just blindly came to his house? Could Christopher and his wife do any other thing that will be worse than what they have already done? "If... What do you want from me?" He eventually asked.

"What we want is simple. We'll give you your last chance. If you try any other thing, you won't be spared. I will make sure that you pay dearly." Christopher answered.

"Why are you scaring your father?" Rose asked Christopher. "Don't mind him. Please, try it again. Use this chance to deal with us. Give us the hardest blow you can deal." Rose said to Mr. Allen. "Let's go. I can't stand this environment anymore." She added and stood up.

They all stood up except Mr. Allen. He was still lost in his thoughts. Is this how he would lose everything? Is this how all that he had struggled to hold on to will slip out of his hands? Just like that, while he was lost in thought, Rose tapped his shoulder to get his attention. "Sorry to disturb your thoughts but, I just want to remind you that you are a tenant in this house now... Take care of it and don't spoil things!" Rose said with a smile. After she had finished talking, she walked out of the dining followed by Mrs. Rita and Princess.

Christopher was the last person to step out. He looked at his father for some time and his father was also looking at him. "You are very lucky that you are father. That's the only reason why I am giving you this chance.!" Christopher said and walked out also.

When they had all gone, Mr. Allen was still sitting there. Lost in thought and anger. He was angry because he lost everything to his son. Where had his plans gone wrong? How can he lose everything he has suffered to keep to himself for so many years to his son? The worst part is that his son was threatening him. Just as he was thinking, his anger continued to increase. He continued to remember how a nobody like Rose even had the guts to threaten him. "Ha!!!" He screamed and started to throw away everything that was left on the table. The glass cups that were left, the flower vase, after that, he went on to turn everything upside down in anger. The only thing he couldn't move was the table. "Ha!... Ha!!!..."

"Sir, what happened?" His cook rushed in to see what had happened to Mr. Allen. Mr. Allen turned to her and slapped her. The only thing on his mind at that moment was to get at Rose. He slapped her again without saying a thing to her. "What have I done!?" She cried out after getting slapped the second time.

"Get out of my sight!!! I don't want to ever see you appear in front of me again!!! You good for nothing, you are the cause of everything!!" Mr. Allen shouted and tried to slap her again.

"Sir!! What are you talking about!!!?" She screamed.

Her shout finally penetrated Mr. Allen's confusion. He stopped his hand midway and looked at his maid who was kneeling on the floor with tears running down her face. "What are you doing here!?" He asked her angrily.

"I thought something had happened to you when I heard your shout..." She explained tearfully.

"Get out of my sight right this minute!! I don't want to see any of you appear before me... This should be the last time you will appear before me without being called!! No,... You are fired. Leave my house this minute!!" Mr. Allen shouted at the maid who was still crying on her knees. Immediately after talking, he walked out without waiting for her to say anything. He went to his room and banged the door shut.

When Rose walked out of the building, she was still angry. She was feeling like slapping senses into Mr. Allen's head. She couldn't do that because he is Christopher's father. She knows that, no matter what he has done, the truth will always remain that he is Christopher's father. She got to the car and got into it. Princess and Mrs. Rita also entered the car with her. "You did well..." Mrs. Rita who had not uttered a word finally said. "If I were in your shoes, I would have slapped him hard!." She added.

"You think I didn't have that urge? I wanted to beat the living daylight out of him!" Rose said to Mrs. Rita.

"The way you handled it was the best! I am very sure that he will never forget today. He will always remember today. I saw the fear in his eyes. He was so scared of you!!..." Mrs. Rita said and chuckled at the memory of Mr. Allen's face while looking at Rose.

"Let's get out of here..." Christopher said as he entered the car.
