Novel & Cerita I Will Be Your Father Figure

He continued. “You'll get paid for it. And Melody gets a father figure in her life, even if it's just for a while.” He finished. ‘A father figure for Melody.’ My heart skipped a beat at those words. What I wouldn't give just to have Melody experience that.

Irene's POV I had always imagined my father as indestructible. A man of stone, steel, fire, and pride, someone who could not be bent or broken by anything or anyone. He was Alpha Rowland, feared across borders, respected even among his rivals. People trembled when his name was spoken, and they bowed when his presence filled a room. He wasn’t just my father—he was the pillar of my entire world, the man I was certain would always stand behind me, no matter how turbulent life became.

“Son of a b**ch” I ranted out in anger, tossing the phone across the room. It was my father, always formal, and all business. Going straight to the point. That is how a true Rufus works, my father would say. And I agree with him. No pleasantries, or greetings. Familiarity brings weakness, and weakness makes you soft. I repeated it every day like my daily mantra. It has become my drive and my motivation. Looking at my father and the amount of power he commands in Manchester, I couldn't help but dream to be like him one day.

He seemed surprised at the way I spoke to him. “Yes… we will stay and we will help the Italian mafia.” My father huffed, “what’s in it for me?” I knew I got him where I wanted him to be. He’s testing me right now. Standing my ground, I tilted my chin up. “If you want to see this baby grow up safely, you will help Ace. Do it for me. I don’t want my child to grow up without a father. I’ve gone through that and it’s hard.”

he whispered the last part, and a lone tear fell from my cheek as he spoke. He was a mate, a father and now an Alpha before my friend, his duties came first how could I ever blame him. "You will have to tell him; you would have to..." I growled into the phone. "No, are you mad? I can't..." "He is the ALPHA KING," he snapped at me.

my father speaks " you and I, we're a lot more alike " "That's where you're wrong, father. We merely just share blood. I'm nothing like you. And deep down, you know it. All you're doing and have always been doing is looking for someone to pin your wrongdoings on, to put the blame of your misfortune on. I was the perfect victim, you showed me that at my younger age. You tore me apart before I knew what this cold world was all about and you never looked back. So you see, you and I are very different"

I gesture to her and she nods before slumping on the bed beside me. “Hey dad” I say into the receiver as soon as I click on the receive button. “What’s up son” Enzo Phillips voice filters through. I love this man to the ends of the earth, he is my knight in shining armor. I love the way he loves my mum, I love the way he adores her, I love the way he worships her and the fact that he accepted another man’s children is something I will forever be grateful to him for. He made us the center of his whole world and he is the center of mine, I love my old man to bits.

He is perfect for sure. “You have a beautiful smile, you should smile often. And don’t worry, I will handle my mother. I will tell her we won’t work out because you are impotent.” I’m taken aback, “I’m not impotent, what the fuck?” She laughs quietly, covering her mouth, “Trust me, that is the only thing that will keep her off your back.” “That is a bad image for me but thanks.” “How will you handle your father? He looks like a strict man.”
