Beyond Redemption

04

"So what did your father say?" Bryson, my bestfriend asks. we just had our meal and we are heading home since we decide to call it a day. One week before the final exams so we've been studying like hell. We spent half a day in library!

I fucking hate school

"You mean Lucas?" I ask and he roll his eyes

"Yes Lucas"

"Same old stories"

"He really is serious about this" I just shrug

"And what did you tell him?"

"Same shit" I answer, adjusting my glasses

Lucas Harrington, my so called father has been asking me to take over his position as the president of Harrington's Incorporations because he's about to retire and since am graduating soon he think that i fit for the position.

But I decline, for thousand reasons.

The man has never been part of my life, never . All my life I grew up alone without him or anyone for that matter.

His so called wife, the one that supposed to be my mother ran away with her lover, and for that he abandoned me as though I was the reason for his wife to leave.

I was a victim myself for fuck's sake. Just a toddler when she left, but he took all that on me and he left too.

He went to live in Seattle, where there are headquarters of HICs, Harrington Incorporations and he's been living there ever since.

He never showed up when I needed him, when I was sick and admitted to hospital, never heard a word from him. He just left me with tremendous amount of money and maids to look after me, fucking maids.

How cruel.

I still remember celebrating my birthdays alone with just the maids surrounding me and the man didn't even bother to send me some birthday wishes or gifts. I doubt he even remember my birth day.

And now he just show up, asking me to take over his companies like I give a fuck.
He's crazy to approach me after abandoning me for so many fucking years, he's even crazier to think that I will take his stupid offer.

Where was he when I was all alone.

I did everything I could just to get his attention. I start to get into fights since I was in middle school, sleeping around whenever I could. Sometimes I even involved myself into drugs and shit and before I know that became my lifestyle.

I just wanted to hear a word from him, just a word of wisdom from a father to his son, an angry parent scolding his child. I just wanted him to tell me how disappointing he is with my behavior but that never happened. It's like I never exist to him.

I want nothing to do with him just like how he made it clear that he wants nothing to do with me.
It was when I swallowed my pride and flew to Seattle to see him. Wanted to see if he got a new family and that's why doesn't need me, but he was alone. All alone.

So I talked to him. I told him that I need him and I can't take it anymore. I told him that I can't keep on pretending that his absence doesn't affect me because it did. I beg him to let me in, take me as his family, as his son, because I had no one and tired of being alone.

I poured everything to him, hoping he would have some mercy and end my misery but he denied me, much to my dismay.

The man didn't even bat an eyelash when he told me how much he hates me. He told me that I look so much like his wife and that reminds him so much of her and every memory of her is painful. So I should stay away from him. Those were exactly his words.

I decided right there and then that I will never look for him again, I will live my life and he.... he'll be dead to me.

"Have you decided where you'll be going after we graduate?" My other bestfriend, Caden ask.

"Anywhere that Lucas will not be able to find me" Wanna give him test of his own medicine.

" Maybe you should consider his offer" Bryson stupidly says and I glare at him, resisting the urge to pull his silver cross earings hanging on his both ears.

"Man you'll become a billionaire and all the girls--ouch what was that for!?" He complains and rubbing his head where Caden smack him. I would have done the worst.

" You're not helping" Caden tells him and when he turns to look at me, the look that I have on my face makes him stop whatever nonsense he's speaking.

"Fine" He holds his hands up.

"So the party at your house?" Caden changes the topic, for our sake.

"Yah I guess" He's asking about the graduation party that will be held in my home. Gotta put that fucking huge house into use at least.

" You're coming right?" Bryson ask him.

Unlike me and Bryson, Caden isn't much into parties. Actually he's the most decent among us.

Bryson and I met in high school when I was in detention for fighting and him for skipping classes.
We met Caden in our fresh year of UNI, me and Bryson were arrested for involving into fight in a Halloween party.
He bailed us, since he had connection with the cops. So we decided to keep him

And we have been inseparable trio since then.

"I don't know" Caden answers Bryson.

" Don't you even think about it, it's our graduation party mate" He says mimics Caden's British accent.

"I promise we won't cause you trouble"

Caden wants to keep his record clean. Doesn't want to involve in crimes 'cuz' he wants to become a cop. And me plus Bryson is equal to fucking disaster.

"You better not" He serious warns us.

"So the Devil-" Bryson start but I cut him off.

"The fuck you called me?" I narrow my eyes but of course he doesn't flinch.

"I called you-"

He stops mid sentence when someone appear out of no where, grab my collar and throw a punch on my face.It happens so fast

Wow!

The corner of my lip curls up into an evil smirk, looks like someone is in suicide mission right now.

Lord help me.
