"He must live there with me, from his 30th Birthday until his very last breath, that is his grave punishment."
Daemon's whole body felt like it was frozen when he accidentally heard their Company's Lawyer and his mother's conversation in the conference room.
Pawang naubusan siya ng hangin, napakuyom naman ang kamao niya, sumulyap siya sa bahagyang nakaawang na pintuan ng silid na iyon, doon nakita niya ang kaniyang Ina na nakaupo sa pinakasentro ng mahabang mesa.
His eyes were furious pero alam niya sa puntong iyon na wala siyang magagawa.
Napahinga siya ng malalim saka na tumalikod mula sa pintuang iyon, niluwagan niya ang necktie niya kasabay ng paglalakad niya paalis sa lugar na iyon.
This company he's been managing since his father died, he thought this is his own castle, yes it is, but every castle he knew from the fairytales has their own monsters.
And his castle has his mother.
And his life isn't an exception, except that fairytales has their own happy ending and his life, doesn't.
Kinapa niya ang phone niya sa bulsa ng slacks niya, he's fed up of this, he's tired.
Tinawagan niya ang pinakaisa-isang taong pinagkakatiwalaan niya, and within just two rings, the person answered.
"Venedict." He greeted with his low baritone voice, pakiramdam niya ay pagod na pagod na siya sa mundo.
"Venedict? Who's Venedict? Come on!!! It's Venyy---
"I'm running away. And you're free to sign off from being my long time secretary." Kaagad na putol niya sa keme-keme nito.
Narinig niya ang paghigit ng hininga ng tao sa kabilang linya.
He sighed as he continue to walk his way out of the company he owns, this is the very last time he will walk being the CEO of the famous Primstone's Brewery and Wine Making.
"WHAT?!!!!!!!!"
"Goodbye Ven." He stated before cutting off the phone call and shutting it down.
If it means to pretend or to hide, abandon this life just to live like a normal human, he will throw everything he has.
Just so he could live like a human must be...
President Daemon R. Primstone is now signing off.
Or so he believes.
