BRUTAL MINDS (A DARK ROMANCE)

CHAPTER 17- SADISTIC BASTARD

A MONTH LATER

              The Doreen Beach Resort, now renamed to D&A Beach Resort was to open the next day and Allison was planning to travel by the public plane that afternoon. The Lenshaw were going private and Davian had insisted she came with them but she didn't want to. However, the morning of that day, she woke up to a thousand missed calls from her half sisters. Which was very unlikely, they never called her, never even cared that much to see how she was doing so why?

            Suddenly she had a sinking feeling in her stomach. What if..? What if her father had finally kicked the bucket? Or what if something bad had happened to one of them courtesy of Hades Lenshaw? Immediately, she hurried through her morning routines before driving off anxiously to her father's residence.

What's going on? She asked, surprised to see they were all seated waiting for her and not just that, a gentleman in a black suit was sitting down with a briefcase in his hand, there was also a file on the table. What could these four be up to?

Have a seat Allison, it's necessary for you to be present not that it matters anyway. Ruth said.
Who are you, sir? Allison asked.
Good morning miss Doreen, I'm Paul Brooks, your father's attorney.
What? Why did you send for him? Allison asked, not wanting to believe what was going on.
Our father is good as dead Allison, it's time the Will is read and we all move on. Lina answered in her sister's place.
I can't believe this! I can't believe all of you would put up with this crap! Father isn't dead and as long as He still has life in his body I will not....
You have no say in any of this Allison! Ivy cut in sharply. You're forgetting that you're an illegitimate child! Our father never officially got married to your harlot of a mother!
Don't you dare call her that!
Or what? Pearl asked. Or what Allison? Ivy was only saying the truth, isn't that what your mother was?
You should sit down and be grateful we were kind enough to let you in on this. Ruth said. Just stop making a scene Allison.
Kind enough? She was certain they had no choice but to call her because the lawyer insisted that all his client's children to be present before the proceedings began. At first, she wanted to storm out and never return but what did her dad used to say about making a decision in anger?

You always end up making a mess of things.

Allison sat down quietly.
It would seem Mr Edwin Doreen...The lawyer began...left his mansion to all five daughters, Ruth Doreen, Lina Doreen, Ivy Doreen, Pearl Doreen And Allison Doreen and for his other assets a total of just one property left.
Just one! They gasped. How? That's not possible.
Well it's sad to reveal that your father fell into a very sticky situation that He hid for years. He suffered a huge loss after an investment of Eight hundred million came crumbling before his eyes.
He was scammed. Ruth gasped in disbelief.
Indeed miss Doreen, having no other option, he had to survive on selling off his other possessions so now, it's just the company left.

Just the company...

           Allison smiled to herself, her dear father kept the beach resort in Caribbean a secret. Obviously for the fear that her sisters might one day throw her out and leave her penniless, if that were to happen, she would still have a source of income. He loved her that much? A tear dropped from her eyes but she was quick to wipe it away.

So who was the company given to? Lina asked eagerly.
It says here that "I, Edwin Doreen For My Last Will and Testament, Wish To Bestow Doreen Corporations To My Last Daughter, Allison Doreen"

           If eyes could throw knives, Allison was sure she would be good as dead by now with the way her sisters spitefully glared at her but she could care less, she had always seen it coming. Oh! If only her father could regain consciousness now and see what he's daughters were doing in his absence. There was a heated argument after the lawyer left. Ruth had threatened that she gave up the company to its rightful owner, whatever that meant in her point of view.
