Chapter 10

Author: Ink the Seventh
John was quiet. He swore Sierra dropped the credit card on purpose.

"How could you treat something John gave you like that?" Pamela quickly picked up the card, holding it with lots of care. "After all, this is…"

But before she could finish, Sierra was already gone with the suitcase in her hand and had headed straight for her car.

Sierra didn't go home. Instead, she drove straight to Holly's place. She still hadn't found a new place to live, so keeping her things at Holly's felt safest for now.

When Holly saw how much more exhausted Sierra looked after just half a day, her heart ached for her. "Did that scumbag do something again?"

Sierra nodded. "Yeah."

"What a scumbag! Seriously!" Holly cursed.

"When I went back to pack at noon, he made me open my suitcase right in front of Pamela, as if I would try to steal from him," Sierra said quietly, her heart feeling empty. "Later, when I called him, I heard Pamela in the background saying she had just finished her shower."

    "Holly is Sierra's friend," John answered directly. "I've already limited how much she can help financially. I can't take away her emotional support, too."Kenneth paused, then smiled.A little over forty minutes later, they pulled up in front of Kenneth's home. He got out and shut the door in one smooth motion.John was about to drive off toward Lakeside Villa when Kenneth called out, "John."John lifted his foot off the gas and glanced over.Before he could speak, Kenneth said, "Stop living in the past. Don't carry that weight around. If he were still here, he wouldn't want to see you like this."John's grip tightened on the steering wheel, his lips pursed. He said nothing in the end."Drive safe. Take it easy," Kenneth said, lifting a hand in a casual wave, as if he could throw a bit of cheer his way.John stepped on the gas and left.On the way back, his thoughts kept drifting to the past, to that radiant, optimistic boy. Famous even when he was still a teenager, his talen

    "You're not asleep?" John sat up, his expression giving nothing away."Sleep is nowhere near as fun as watching the drama and sipping tea," Kenneth said.He called the staff outside to bring in two glasses and a bottle of wine. Only after that did he continue."Especially when the drama is centered around you."John didn't respond.The wine and glasses were brought in. Once the staff left, Kenneth opened the bottle, filled both glasses, and pushed one toward John. "You have the story, I have the drinks. Start talking."John looked at him, his eyes hiding too many things at once."Don't stare at me like that. It's creepy," Kenneth joked.John took the glass from him and set it directly on the table.Kenneth paused. "Alright, now I'm really curious. What happened?""Earlier tonight, Tommy asked me two questions," John said, his tone flat. "After I answered, he got mad. Told me to treat him as if he were dead.""What two questions?" Kenneth immediately realized they had to be

    John fixed the blanket so Tommy's head was out and he could breathe.Looking at the way the boy squeezed his eyes shut, clearly refusing to acknowledge him, John didn't try to wake him. As always, his voice stayed gentle and patient. "Get some rest. Stop thinking about everything else. No matter what happens between your mom and me, we won't love you any less."Tommy ignored John; he kept his eyes closed and pretended to be asleep.John bent down and planted a goodnight kiss on his small forehead. "Goodnight."Tommy stayed silent.John turned off the light and pulled the door closed. The moment the room went dark, Tommy opened his eyes. The clear eyes that used to be bright and pure were now clouded with something complicated.John left Tommy's room and went to check on Sierra.Sierra was still lying in the same position as before. She was quiet, still, and fast asleep.He sat down on the edge of the bed and watched her sleeping face, her breathing even and steady. She look

    Tommy wanted to say no to John.He wanted to take care of his mom himself.Before he could insist, his father picked him up and carried him toward the bedroom, quietly threatening him, "If you don't wash up and go to sleep, I'll tell her tomorrow that I was the one who brought her home."Tommy was a little stunned. "You…""Hurry now," John urged.Tommy stayed where he was. "I'll wait for you."John didn't argue with him. He took the makeup remover into the master bedroom and began to clean Sierra's face with practiced motions. He was very careful with the corners of her eyes and around her lips. When he finished, he used a fresh towel to wipe her face repeatedly until there was nothing left on her skin.Tommy watched it all from the doorway.Old scenes appeared from his memories without warning.Years ago, when Mom went to dinner parties with Dad and came home late, she would sometimes fall asleep in the car. Dad would tell him not to wake her, then carry her inside and ge

    Even though Sierra was incredibly drunk and barely aware, she tucked the blanket over Tommy despite almost not knowing who she was anymore. John's gaze softened.Tommy's eyes were wide open. "I'll come out after Mom is fully asleep.""Alright," John said.He tucked the blanket in around the two of them, looked at them for a moment longer, then turned off the light before leaving the room.Sitting on the living room couch, he looked at this cramped space. The size of the living room was barely larger than their bathroom at home. Every corner was crammed full of everyday objects. He couldn't understand why Sierra insisted on divorcing him and moving out here to suffer.Small. Narrow. No housekeeping. No help.While he was thinking about it, his phone buzzed in his pocket. He thought it would be Pamela, but the screen showed Kenneth's name instead. He picked up the call. "What is it?""I heard you had drinks with your wife tonight," Kenneth said, as nosy as ever.John didn't

    There was no time for Nicholas to think about what had just happened. When he saw John walking farther away with Sierra in his arms, he immediately followed him. It was late at night, Sierra was drunk, and there was no guarantee John would not take advantage of her.John noticed but did not stop him, allowing Nicholas to step into the elevator as well.Nicholas stood openly at his side with a clear message in his posture. He was going to watch John and make sure nothing happened to Sierra.John could not even be bothered to spare him a glance.Soon, they reached the eighteenth floor.The bodyguards at the door nodded when they saw John. Mr. Rogers also greeted him. "Sir.""Where's Tommy?" John asked."Master Tommy is inside reading," Mr. Rogers reported. "He has already had dinner, but he keeps asking when Ms. Brooks will be back."John hummed in acknowledgment and stepped inside.Nicholas followed close behind."There's nothing more for you to do here.
