Mrs. Moore and I are going for a golf session. How about you come with us?’ Dad asked me over breakfast this morning while we were all eating together. He could’ve just told me to come with them without making it look like I had a choice, yeah? My kids had already gone to school, so it was just myself here, all alone. The sound of the knock on my door caught my attention while I was getting ready for the golf session or whatever Dad called it earlier. “Who is there?” “It’s me, ma’am. Mr. Miller asked to call you downstairs. They are ready to leave now,” Came the maid’s voice. “Alright. I’ll be there shortly,” Her receding footsteps followed, and I presumed she was already gone. ver for a second enjoyed any of them. I guess I had followed Dad to go play golf several times since the years that I’ve known him, and trust me, I’ve never this was going to be even more horrible since Hunter and his family were coming with us. “I guess you have a habit of keeping people waiting. You should work on it especially if you want to last in my family as a daughter-in-law,” Mrs. Moore’s rude words welcomed me into the living room minutes later, but I ignored her and turned to Dad who was also present. “I’m ready. Sir. Shall we?” “Oh, yes…” He paused then turned to Mrs. Moore and smiled. “This way, madam,”
I left the house before them, and I was even more irked when I stepped outside and saw Hunter standing beside the limousine parked at the parking lot. I guess we’ll all be riding together. I’d have preferred if we rode differently, anyway. “Hey… You are here,” Hunter had that usual smile on his face as I walked up to him, but his sister just glared at me before she hopped inside the car. “How about you tell your sister to behave herself, huh? It’s obvious that I’m older than her, and I hate disrespect from people younger than me,” I turned to Hunter and stated coldly before I hopped inside the car in the front seat along with the driver who had been waiting there for G o d knows how long They all soon hopped inside, and the ride began. The atmosphere in the car was peaceful, and I couldn’t be any happier that I didn’t get to hear that woman’s voice again. Well, my excitement was soon cut short the moment Hazel decided to break the silence. “I have not asked, brother… You didn’t mention anything about Summer’s baby Daddy. Is she a divorcee or did the man die?” I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, resting my head on the headrest. “Hazel!” I heard Hunter scold her. “There’s nothing wrong with what your sister asked, Hunter, I should’ve asked you earlier but it escaped my mind. Don’t you think we should know the past life of the woman you want to marry? You wouldn’t want something that’d mess with our reputation later, right?” Mrs Moore’s voice came on, and it was at this point that I lost my self-control. “Mrs Moore…” I called her attention as I turned back to them, and Dad glared at me. “Yes?” Chapter 66 “Has anyone ever told you this?” The corner of my lip twitched up into a smirk as I looked into her eyes, and the raised her eyebrows. “Told me what?” “That you are rude and you suck at bringing up your kids,” They all gasped except for Hunter who was just staring.
“Wh… what did you—” “I’m not done talking. Mrs Moore. I was silent when you were talking, so you should do the same and listen to me. I think you should do better in teaching yourself and your daughter some manners. I know it’s hard to discipline yourself now that you are getting old, but you should work on your daughter…” paused and smirked at her. “your husband must’ve done his best to tolerate you, but trust me, this generation of men won’t tolerate this horrible behaviour from a woman. You should teach your daughter some manners if you don’t want her to end up not finding a man for herself for the rest of her life,” “Summer!” Dad snapped at me, and I scoffed. “You were there when that woman and her daughter were saying s h i t s about me and you could not do anything about it, so can you please stay out of this? I’ve had enough of this!” For the first time in the six years that I’ve known this man, I finally looked into his eyes and spoke my mind to him because I was tired of being treated like a piece of trash. I was tired of acting like everything was fine when it was not. “Summer- “Stop the car,” I turned to the driver. “I told you to f**g stop the car this d m n minute! If you don’t stop this car, I’m going to get us all killed.” I held the steering wheel when the driver didn’t say anything. “What do you think you are doing? Let go of that.” Dad’s voice trailed off when the driver stepped on the brake and brought the car to an abrupt halt. “Did I ask you to stop the car?” Dad yelled at him. “She was going to make me lose control of the wheel, that’s why I had to stop, Sir,” The driver explained to him. “Enjoy your time together…” I paused as I pushed the car door open and turned to Hunter. “You have some manners, so I think you’ll be in the best position to teach your little sister since your Mom already lost hers,” I finally stopped out of the car and slammed the door behind me. The fresh air that welcomed me was so soothing and it felt like a burden had just been lifted off my shouldersText © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
and my heart. I could finally breath properly. the side of the road where I intended to take a cab. I started to walk away, but someone suddenly held me and pulled me back roughly just before I got to the side of “How dare you!” A hot slap landed on my cheek as Dad’s angry voice resounded in my ear. My eyes narrowed in shock as I held my burning check. “Dad- “Are you doing this because of that b s r d? Is it because of him?” Thankfully, there was no single person around the place at that time 17″ He yelled at the top p of his voice without minding that we were in a public place. “I’m trying to give you a good life and you are messing it up for me? Are you out of your mind?” He snapped again, and I scoffed. “Dad.. You were there when that woman and her daughter were bullying me but you “What if they bully you? Are you the first person to get bullied? Why are you acting as if you didn’t see worse when you were with that b a s t a d? I did my findings and you were nothing but a piece of trash to them. They all walked on you and treated you like a rag which you really were, and now that! 2/3 11:29 Wed, 12 Jun F Chapter 66 helped your life, you suddenly want to become wise?” I could not believe those words were coming from him, but they really were. 73% “You’ve been through this before and didn’t die, do you think you will this time again?” My heart sank into my stomach and tears streamed down my cheeks as I stared back at the man unbelievably.
“Now, you listen to me and listen good. I’ve spent so much on you… I made you who you are today, and now that you can finally pay me back, you can’t back off now. You are going to do whatever I ask you to do, and that’s finall” He stated coldly, and I swallowed the lump in my throat. He looked Eke a different person. This could not have been the man who loved me like his own daughter. This couldn’t have been the same man, right? “Why are you doing this, Dad? Why are you being like this all of a sudden?” My voice came out weakly as waves of betrayal spurred through me. It felt like my heart was being stomped on, and it hurt so badly. “I wouldn’t have been like this if you had just listened to me and do what I asked you to do,” He looked into my eyes, not with the usual love I used to see, but he was looking at me like I was his pawn. Wait! Maybe that is what I’ve been to him from the onset but I never noticed it because he never gave me a chance to. “I need the Moore’s family on my business… I have worked for this all my life, and now that it’s going to work, don’t mess things up for me. You will regret it if you do,” Just a few seconds ago, I was hoping it wasn’t what I was thinking, but it really was. He had been using me all along. I was nothing but his pawn “Now, go back there and apologize to Mrs Moore and her family for what you did.” I could not believe my ears, but that was nothing compared to everything he had said. “I won’t ever do that, Dad… I won’t do that even at a gunpoint,” I said firmly, and he scoffed. “Summer!” I was glad I got a cab at that moment, so I hopped inside before he could say anything else, and the driver drove off I tried to hold back my tears, but I could not do it. It hurt so much. “Are you ok, Ms?” The cabby asked as he looked at me through the rearview mirror, and I quickly wiped my tears. “Hmm… I’m fine,” I nodded and looked away.
It felt like forever, but we finally got home, and I stepped out of the car, paid him, and headed to my apartment. For hours, I stayed inside my room, crying my eyes out until there was no single drop of tears left in my eyes. It was then that I gave up. The time for the date was fast approaching, so I managed to bathe and got ready. My phone beeped minutes after I got ready, and I checked to see a text from Xander. I’m waiting for you outside’ I picked up my handbag and left to go meet him…
