Not My Parent's Favorite

Chapter 12

Mari

I uploaded the next few chapters of my online story which described Father exactly, however in the storyline he is a Doctor instead of a Lawyer. This story follows closely to the previous one that I told before, however I've changed up just a few things here and there. But anyone who knows us and knows the previous story, will know this is about my family.

"Mari, your Father is going to shit bricks!" Janelle said as she entered the room.

"Yeah, he will definitely hear about this one." I was typing away at my laptop, putting the finishing details on yet another chapter.

"You named someone. Does this person know about this story?" Janelle's eyes were huge; she wasn't sure how to handle the attention.

"I don't know. I heard the name recently therefore I used it. If she is someone who is dealing with anyone in this family, then she will find out the consequences." I ruthlessly quipped.

"Mighty is the pen." Janelle shook her head and looked at me. "Have you seen the ratings lately?"

"Nah, I haven't had time to check on it. I've either been writing or dealing with this wedding shit."

"So you're really gonna go through with it?"

"What choice do I have? I'm not ready to move out and be disowned by my family. I care very much for Mother. She's basically the only reason I want to stay in the house."

"And she would never leave your Father."

"Exactly. I got a twist coming up. I have to proofread these two chapters and then I'll upload them shortly. The readers will go crazy." I smiled looking at the words on the screen.

"What's the twist?" She asked, getting closer to the desk.

"When the cat's away, the mouse will play." I sang as I glided my fingers across the keyboard. I was proud of this story, even though it was about my family - it made a juicy story.

"Girl, you are somethin' else." Janelle chuckled and headed for the door. "Well, if you didn't know, your story is ranking #2 in the top 100." She said as she walked out the door.

Number 2? Wow, I didn't expect to get a readership of that many so fast. But I kinda had a feeling, like I said before my life makes for one juicy story.

Randall

Staying over with Dion was exhilarating but I was regretting it as I walked in the office. I was tired yet happy. Dion always has a way about him that makes me want him more. I would stay in the bed with him all day if I could; I smiled at the thought of having such a weekend. That might come to fruition.

While I was deep in thought at my desk, my assistant entered the office with a package from my father.

"What is this?" I called Father looking at the package on my desk.

"It's a case I would like for you to take a look at and see if you could handle it with your workload." He spewed his confidence in me.

"Who is this for?" I opened the package and flipped through the pages.

"A friend of mine." He said nothing else. And knowing Father, he wasn't about to. He has his secrets as do I and for that I shall give him respect.

"I'll take a look at it and see if I can move some cases around."

"Thank you Randall, I knew I could count on you."

"You're welcome, Father."

"How's it going with Marianna?" he asked, throwing me off a bit.
