Regrets

Part 11.

Zach was a very popular kid at his school. He had many friends from all backgrounds. He contacted his friend Dexter, who came from a prominent family of lawyers, and made an appointment with his granddad specializing in family law.

" I can not believe that Aaron can pull up something like he could. "

The Oldman was very traditional and still upheld his family values. He was from an old aristocratic family.

"Your dad has recently added a lot of money to both your and your sister's trust fund"

" I am not after his money, Mr McNeil."

" I bet your father is not aware of your achievements yet."

"Even my mother doesn't know about that. I wanted to surprise them, but it looks like I have to maintain a low profile"

"We can investigate your uncle's offshore company for tax evasion. We can take your father back to court for hiding marital assets"

"That is what I wanted to clarify. I do not want Mum to go back to courts again"

" Heather is a fine woman. I have watched her growing up. At least she has you as an amazing son. Don't become like your useless father".

Zach called his father for a meeting alone. He texted him.

" I want to meet you alone. You can decide the place and time."

Aaron was delighted to see Zach's text. He decided to meet him for dinner. He made a reservation at the Ritz in Central London.

He wanted to prove his point to Zach and promise him that he would be responsible for financially supporting his mother. He wanted to have a good relationship with Zack and Rose. Rose was Dad's girl, but Zach was a tough nut.

He was waiting for Zach impatiently. He stood up to hug his son as soon as he saw him.

"Zach my son"

Zach stopped him. " Mr Biffrey, I am not here to reconcile with you and play a happy family with your mistress."

Aaron was hurt by Zach's words.

"You are my son and can never deny the blood relationship"

"My bad that we share the same DNA"

Aaron flinched. "Just because I and your mum are separated, you cannot cut off ties with me. Did Heather poison your mind?"

"My mum's standards are very high, unlike yours."

"Zach, I love you. You cannot deny me my rights."

" Mr. Biffrey, I just wanted to tell you about the way you chested my mum and the unfair game you played thinking she was all alone. I just wanted to warn you that she has me. If I want, I can ask Mum to take you back to court "

He threw away documents that Douglas Mc Neil had prepared.

" How do you know MC Neil"

" None of your business."

"You are lucky that Mum does not want to reopen her wounds. I am warning you to keep yourself and your mistress away from my family. Please clear the payments as soon as possible"

" Marissa is not mistress"

"Yes, she is the word I do not like to mention."

"Zach, she is your aunt too. At some point, we have to be together."

" As far as I remember, my mum was an only child, and later, whoever her father married is not my family and I do not care. I hope she is worthy of all you left behind."
