" when I was little my father use to abuse my mother right in front of me. He would come home from work everyday smelling of female perfume when my mom ask he would beat her with anything he lay his hand on. He don't care if i'm there or not in fact he didn't care who was there. Like one time we came home from food shopping and my father had the house filled with strippers and my uncles. they were literally having sex with them in the living room and on my mothers bed. she got angry and decided to go off on him and my uncles. my father grabbed her by the throat dragged her to the kitchen grabbed a knife and stabbed her in the leg three times. The strippers I guess freaked out and left and that pissed my dad off a lot he made my uncles leave he grabbed me from my room and tied me to the dining room chair and rapped my mother right in front of me with her bleeding from her leg and everything."
Even though it was dark Kara still saw tears falling from his eyes. She got up and walked up to him and hugged him.
"come on lets go sit on the couch in my office its more comfortable" he nodded and follow her to her office. "you don't have to continue if you don't want to I understand this is really hard for you".
"no I will continue when he was done he just left her there like that. I thought she was dead because she wasn't moving so I dragged myself and the chair to the house phone and called our doctor. since that day I didn't see my father till I was 19 when he threaten my mother to take him back. He promised to change which he did for four years then he started again but thins time it wasn't other women. He would sneak into my room and force me to have sex with him. If I don't he would get people to beat up my mom and so I had to. Once I refused and I had to meet my mom in the hospital and i'm telling you she look worse than Emit Till I couldn't recognize my own mom. So I started doing what he wanted and getting closer to him as well, that mean working with him in the office learning everything about the office I mean everything. Until I got him to trust me enough to give me the right to own half of the company. Which is exactly what wanted, that means if he dies I own everything. Long story short I got a call from my uncle telling me my father shot my mother in the head six time because he supposedly saw her in bed with another man. That's what everybody though but I knew the truth my mother would never do anything like that especially when she knows it will hurt me. I guess that's when i went dark as everybody use to say. I made a few calls to Nigeria and had my friend send me something that will get rid of my father forever"
He paused and walked to the window.
"what did you do" Kara asked wanting to know the rest of the story.
"I acted like I believed his story, and I acted like I hated my mother but it killed me everyday because I could do anything right there and then so I started releasing my anger on the employee. I couldn't take it anymore so I used the thing I sent for from Nigeria. We had won a big contract that day and I took him out to celebrate where I poison his drink. He died that night in his bedroom with no sign of organs in his body the poison ate everything but his skin. I made sure he felt all the pain my mother felt while she was alive."
Kara walked up behind him and hugged his back
"He took my mother from me. I didn't even say good bye" he said kicking the trash can making it fly in across the room. Kara has never seen anybody this messed up before so she didn't know what to do he was crying hard and pacing back and forth.
"Can you please give me a moment" he said after a few minutes of yelling and saying some things in his Nigerian language
"I will be in the lobby if you need me" she said walking out to the lobby.
"what is wrong with me how could I had let her see me like that this was supposed to be a happy evening. But she made me feel so comfortable" he cleaned him self up in the bathroom and walked outside.
"I am so sorry for my behavior Kara I don't know what came over me. I bet you think i'm a horrible person now huh"
"Oh no of course not I understand anybody who was in your shoes would have done the same thing I don't see you different at all you been threw a lot. I know I never knew the details but I knew there was something wrong that's why I stay all these years and i'm glad you open up to me that's all I wanted for you to do let out all your anger... and you did I hope now that you've let it all out things can change around here" she said holding his hands .
"thank you for everything I don't know how I would have handled this office with out you"
