Reign Santos-Valentino will soon be 21, which means much responsibilities, becoming head of his family's business. His very nonchalant and bad boy character attracts a lot of the girls but he is too much of a player to keep a girl. But as it's his t...

I look at the man who has chosen everything else over his family look me in the eye with pleading eyes.
"No" I say sternly.
He laughs a bit. "No? You ungrateful bitch, I am the reason you even exist in this world. Without me you wouldn't be where you are now so you owe me Ellie".
I laugh. "I owe you absolutely nothing. You take and take and do nothing for your own kids. I honestly pity you now".
He slaps me across the face and I feel a sharp sting pierce my cheek. My hand automatically goes to my cheek and I hold it in disbelief that he really hit me.
I try not to react in any emotional way, I look at him closely. "Get out or I will call the police".
He laughs. "You won't..".
I pick up the phone and I start dialing. He snatches the phone and puts his hands up.
"I just need $600, that is all I ask for" he argues.
I shake my head. "And I said no. I need the money for myself and this family. You realize you have 6 kids right, they need food and necessities. Something you and mom seemed to forget. It's important!".
He nods. "I can't be a father, you and your mother know that. Hence why I left, I will give you the money back I promise".
I look at him confused. "Ok so where is the $1000 I gave you in the past? Nowhere to be found. You just tell lies at this point".
He starts scratching his arm and I shake my head.
"Look at you, fucking addict. I thought it was just alcohol now drugs... why does mom even still want you around?" I say not even surprised.
He shrugs then gets excited. "Wait does your mother have any cash laying around? Any she left behind?".
I laugh. How ridiculous is he?
"She's not here asshole, she hasn't been home for 3 weeks because she spends her time looking for you. Begging and hoping you will come home, it's gotten so bad that she won't come home until you will".
"Pretty soon she will end up just like you..." I mumble.
He looks away without saying much.
Why do I waste my time at this point? Nothing to say to a man who doesn't see how fucked up he truly is.
He just walks out. I sigh out of relief, and I lock the door. I go to lock every window and every spot he may try to get into, as desperate as he is.
I start to clean up the family room and the kitchen. I still am in shock from being slapped but I try to get over it.
I head upstairs and I check on every kid. Sleeping, finally.
I am just glad none of them saw him slap me. I don't need the pity right now.
