Electing The Alpha

Chapter 22:

Jake POV
The limo comes to a halt in front of an office made of glass. The men drag me out and we walk into the office.

The air conditioning is really heavy and people were busy working and going around.
"Hello boss! We are here! We got him!" One of the men says into his phone.
Then he hangs up.
"Let's take him to his office" he orders and we enter an elevator.
It comes to a stop after sometime and we walked towards a door. It had a golden door knob and was white in colour without a stain.

One of the men knocks and I hear my dad's voice. They open it and I'm dragged into the office. My dad stands up as soon as he sees me.
"Why did you handcuff him?" My dad says.
"He was being stubborn sir"
They take off the handcuffs.
"Have you given the lady the reward?" My dad asks.

"No sir! She made it clear to me that she wasn't interested in it"

"That's strange! You can go" my dad says and they exit his office.
A lady gave them my address! And she doesn't want any reward! Strange!!! Who could she be?

My dad smiles down at me but I don't return it.
"Welcome to my office son" he says and stretches his hands out and looks around the place.

I smirk.
"Like seriously? Are you okay dad? You tell your men to drag me into your office like some criminal and you behave as if I came here on my own will" I bark at him

His face falls and he sighs deeply.
"Your men fucking kidnapped me from my home! They invaded my privacy! I have every right to report them" I yell at him

"Its not like that son! They just came to get you" He spits.

"I already told you I am not your son and I don't have anything to do with you! But what do you do? You get my pictures all over the city with WANTED written on top with a cash prize as if I was a criminal on the loose being traced by the police! As if I was some product being marketed! What's wrong with you?" I yell frustratedly at him.

"I was desperate! I was desperate to find you! And I found you! I'm sorry if you felt that way but I was desperate" he says to me.

I huff.
"You are unbelievable! Just forget about me! I hate you" I yell at him.
"You've grown so rebellious against me! What did your mother put in your head about me?!" My dad yells.

"My mother didn't tell me anything! It was your irresponsible actions that made me like this!" I yell back and his face softens.

"You think you are so successful because you are now wealthy and popular but lemme get some things clear to you! You are a loser!" I say and my dad clenches his jaw.

He says nothing and sits on his desk. He covers his face with his hands. I think I hurt him with what I just said. But he deserves it.

"Look, I'm sincerely sorry for what I did! Am willing to make a difference! I know I failed you! I am a loser! You're right about that but please hear me out! I had my reasons" he says softly with sincerity.

"You also have reasons for getting married?" I ask annoyed.

He looks at me surprised but he nods and I sit.
"I can't believe am actually going to listen to this fairytale!" I scoff.
He smiles.
"Thank you son" he says.

"Your mom and I lived peacefully for a long time after we got married! We were madly in love with each other" he spills

"After we had you and Jessica, things were getting hard! That time you were only ten and Jessica eight years" he says and pauses to take a glass of water.

"I proposed to your mom that we move here and find something to do so that we could look after the two of you really well but she disagreed and told me to stay there and get another job to do" he says with a pause. I listen intently.
