"I told you once and I'll tell you again. I posed for the front cover." Alexis repeated, clearly annoyed by her father's questions.
"Alexis, how dare you pose in this trashy magazine!" Mr. Rhodes yelled.
"Whoa, it's not trashy, pops!" Atticus defended.
"Stay out of this, son!" Mr. Rhodes replied before facing his daughter. "How dare you..."
"How did you even get a copy?" Alexis asked.
"If you must know, an employee of mine purchased one of these... this filth!" Mr. Rhodes shouted. "What would your future husband say about you parading in that thing for the world to see?"
"If he has a problem with it then that's his problem, not mine!" Alexis simply replied. "It's my body and I consented to the shoot."
"Besides Mr. Rhodes, she looks really... stunning. It's not even bad in taste." Jaden defended.
"So you put my daughter up to this?!" Mr. Rhodes growled.
"No, s-sir!" Jaden replied, holding Alexis's hand. "I would never make her do anything she wasn't comfortable with." He added, kissing her hand. Alexis blushed deeply at the gesture but continued to lock hands with Jaden.
"W-Who do you think you are, Jaden Yuki?!" Mr. Rhodes asked, restraining himself to use any method of violence.
"Me? I'm just a normal guy... a duelist who loves your daughter." Jaden reply nonchalantly.
"Exactly! You're a commoner! Do you hold any wealth? Any fame? No? Exactly! What makes you even good enough to breath the same air as her..." Mr. Rhodes ranted.
"DAD!" Alexis shouted. "So it's all just business with you?! Why am I even surprised... you would rather have me be with a snobby rich kid who wouldn't give a damn about me rather than someone of middle class who loves and respects me!"
"Watch your tone, young lady!" Mr. Rhodes shouted.
"No, I had enough of this! Daddy... or should I even call you my father anyone..." Alexis started. "Ashton Donald Rhodes, you are a very selfish man and I-"
*SLAP*
Alexis backed away after her own father slapped her across the cheek... making Jaden's eyes immediately filled with nothing but anger and hatred. He couldn't believe what he saw... her own father harmed his own flesh and blood, which was the opposite of what fathers do.
"You bastard... that's going too far..." Jaden whispered in a low, intimidating growl.
