Chapter 4

"Don't you dare turn your back to me!" My father shouted while he kept following me to my room. 

I laid down the bed and put my headphones, I am not in the mood listening to his lectures and I'm not willing to talked about that stupid wedding. 

That was his plan, tying me into the wedding without even getting my consent. What kind of father is he? Did he not think about how I would feel? 

"Kalix!" He pulled my headphones off. 

"What? I had enough of your lectures, can I have a little time with myself?" 

"No! We're talking and you have to listen to me, Kalix. She's your fiance and you should be grateful because we found a better girl for you," He said, like I have to be glad because he did that for me, just to ruin my life. 

I sat down on the bed and started shaking my head, "I don't need a fiance even more, I am not interested in marrying some random girl who grew up spoiled by her parents." 

"I'm not marrying that woman." 

My father was glaring at me and I knew at any moment he'll going to explode and transform like hulk. He always does that just to scare me. 

"Why are you such a stubborn child? Don't I give you enough to obey me and become a good son? Look at your brother, he's already a famous business m—" I cut him out. 

"Me and Calvin are different. He was perfect while me? I'm just a stubborn son who knows nothing but to hurt women, I'm nothing but a son you hated the most because I will never become my brother." 

"You can be him if you start acting like an adult! Do you even know how much shame I should face just to clean up every mess you did? I need to pay all those bastards to save your ass yet you can't just obey my will?!" 

I chuckled sarcastically. That was my father's favorite line, like whenever he scolds me or he's not done nagging at me. 

"Because you wanted to steal my freedom. I don't want to marry that woman because she wasn't worthy to be my wife, you know who is the worthy one, dad? Hannah! But you're against in our relationship!" 

"How dare you talk back to me?! After all the things I've done to you this is what I get from feeding someone's child?! You're such a big disgrace to our family!" 

"I am and I wish you weren't my father!"

He slapped me as hard as he could followed by another slap and another. I'm completely numb because he always hurts me whenever I mess up, whenever I'm doing something that doesn't meet his expectations. 

What would he get from raising someone's child? 

"Gerald! Stop hurting your son!" My mother screamed and immediately pulled my dad away from me. 

I remain sitting on the bed while my mother stops him from making another move. I wiped the blood in my lips before standing up and looked at them. 

"I wasn't your son. But I'm still thanking you for taking care of me, for feeding me and for all the things you've done to me but whether you like it or not, I'm not marrying that girl." 

As I've said that, I start walking towards the door but before I am able to step my foot, he speaks. 

"Where do you think you're going? Leaving us and living in the apartments you bought under my name? You can't hide from me, Kalix!" 

I smirked in disbelief, "Hiding from you is not really my thing, dad. You can find me easily because you always did, just give me some time for myself." 

That's all I said before heading out of my room and going downstairs. I already accepted my fate and my position in this family. I am not a gift nor a miracle because I was created with my mother's unfaithfulness, which I had to be brave from every pain my father will cause to me. 

I don't need no one other than Hannah. She was my girlfriend—my world and she made me realize how lucky I am for having a family like them. But my father? He was against our relationship when he found out who she was. Hannah is not wealthy, she's just a normal girl who steals my heart. 

But destiny took her away from me, she was sent to a place far from me because my father paid her parents. How tragic, right? And now here I am, the city's ultimate playboy. 

Hitting on every woman in the bar, fulfilling their desire using s*x and leave them in the hotel room in the morning and go to the bar like nothing happened. That's how my life has become after losing the girl I love. 

My father turned me into the person I shouldn't be. I went inside my car and started the engine, before driving away from our house. But my phone suddenly rang and my friend's name flashed on the screen. 

"I'm on my way," I murmured while my eyes were on the road. 

[Great! We just met four gorgeous women and I know you're gonna love them!] Mike's excited voice made me shake my head, he's going to have another woman in his bed and I assure you that. 

"Nothing changed. You're still a womanizer, I'll meet you in the bar." 

[Of course I don't, Kalix. Why would they call me Mike the heart breaker if I don't act like one? Besides, you earn the position of being the ultimate playboy.] 

"Is George and Jason there?" 

[Yes, actually they are waiting for you. We'll have so much fun with these four gorgeous ladies, so move your ass faster before there is nothing left for you!]

"Nevermind. Wait for me," I end the call and put back my phone inside my pocket. 

I continue driving but my mind is still occupied with what happened earlier, even though he's not my real father I'm still grateful he accepted me as one. Maybe I need to be a good son?So, I am able to feel how to be loved by my dad. 

How I wish…
