The Truth Behind Lies

Chapter 18

Alester POV:

"Dad, mom, i'm transferring to Stanford Academy and I will be living alone" i said boldly in the middle of our family dinner.

"WHAT!?" Dad
"WHAT?!" Mom
They utter in unison with the hint of shock. She's not really my Mom shes my step-mother but she's been nice to me to the extend where i could felt like she is my mom so i call her one. i can't deny we became close except for his son.

"Are you out of your mind Alester!? NO! you know our situation with them! they are our company's biggest competitor" Dad said in complete authoritative voice.

"Honey calm-down, *rubbing his back then faced me* Alester Baby? whats wrong? can we talk this out? hhmm?" Mom said in her dignified and elegant tune.

"It wasn't a Question nor asking for permission. i'm living" i said bluntly while still eating this chunk of tasteless stake. This following years i just don't feel me, i don't feel myself anymore its like i've become someone else. My taste, hobby and even personality change gradually. I don't know whats happening but all i know is the answer lies in that school.

"ALESTER! this is nonsense!" Dad said starting to get peeve,

"I'm living tonight. i'm just letting you know so y'all won't worry. its final, i need this" I said to calm things down. I know they knew my changes and i know they would let me because of my illness.

"Thats new! in situations like this you just do what you want and live without saying a single word" My half brother commented with a smirk in his face.

" I know right? then the spot light is on you, what a social butterfly. ooops! i slip" letting out a chuckle. Hahahaha were not really in good terms and were not close either. i just saw his smirk turn to irritation.

"Enough both of you, ok is this final Alester? i won't ask whats your reason is, i just want to know, Are you sure about this?" Mom said in a calm voice.

"This is Nuts!" Dad said in disbelief

"Calm down sweetie, its no big deal! and besides aren't you happy for once that your son told you where his going?" Mom said

"Yes! its final and besides even if you don't agree on it i already transfer weeks ago" Cutting off their sweet convo and letting out a devilish smirk.

"ugh! what else can i do?" Dad said in surrender
