I Want You

Chapter Thirteen

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

His Father

Sandra went ballistic when she found out that Vic sold all of his properties to Ramil. Ramil and Aimee just left after a three-day stay with them. 

Vic explained, “I cannot run the hotel anymore. I sold them to Ramil as well as this mansion.” 

Sandra replied, “What?! Why didn’t you tell me?”

Vic declared, “Everything’s settled! I had the money distributed in two accounts – mine and yours.” 

“But you could have at least kept this mansion,” she was still upset. 

“I thought you didn’t like it here that much! We could go anywhere you want, tour around the world perhaps. I got no hotels to mind anymore.  It is better this way,” Vic tried to explain.

She shouted, “No!” 

Vic was getting impatient already, “Then what do you really want, Sandra?” 

She was confused, “I don’t know! I thought marrying a rich and powerful man like you was enough. But you don’t love me, Vic. Yeah, you’re crazy over me but that is just because of my body.”

“You don’t love me either, Sandra! You just love my money. Well, what I got is all but money! I got no heir. You can’t possibly give me one. The hotels and the mansion had to go. You don’t need them. If I die you wouldn’t be able to run them. I don’t want such to happen. I love this islet. If I left my properties to you, they would all just be ruined. Money you love, money I got! It’s either you accept it or go.” 

“You know I got nowhere else to go,” Sandra felt defeated. All the while she thought she could manipulate Vic. 

“Then you’re stuck with me! I’m the only man who can give you all the glitz and glamour you want. Ramil, obviously, is head over heels in love with his wife. There is no way you can have him back. He had really never been yours. He had just wanted you for sex.” 

Sandra had motioned on slapping Vic’s face. Vic was able to stop her hand before her hand hit his face. 

“I hate you,” Sandra said beating Vic’s chest with powerless jabs.

He pulled Sandra’s hands away from his chest. His final words were, “We’ll leave this mansion by the end of this month. You should really start packing. You have two choices stay with me or go away.” 

Vic left Sandra in their bedroom. He had told all of his servants that they wouldn’t need their services anymore but they would be given their last salary and extra money. He had also given them until the end of the month to leave. 

He then decided to leave the mansion to see his doctor and then afterwards his lawyer. 

More than a month ago after his conversation with him regarding his interest on selling him the hotels and the mansion, it just came to him – what if Ramil was really his son? He had bedded a whore before during his stag party. He didn’t use protection then. Ever since he met Ramil, he felt like they had a connection. So to know if his suspicions were true, he got a hair from Ramil’s head during his wedding to Sandra. He wanted a DNA test. His doctor already had the results. He received a call from him that morning. In addition, he also needed medical checkup. Nobody knew except his doctor that he had been suffering from liver cancer. It was two months ago that he had found out about it. It was already on its late stage. He got a few months left in his life so he decided to marry Sandra and sell his properties and enjoy the rest of his life having fun. He had been taking pain relievers without the knowledge of people around him.
