Chapter 57

30 minutes later. Amara and Ian were still in the car, they were now one hour thirty minutes from the airport, they had not yet exited the forest because the driver was driving slowly today. "Ian can I ask you something?" Amara asked looking at him. "Yeah go ahead." Ian said. "Why did you do all those horrible things that you did to me back then?" Amara asked him. Ian sighed, he knew that she was going to ask him thus question sooner or later. "Because of the hatred that I had towards your father." He said. "Why did you hate him?" Amara asked him. "Your father did a so many horrible things to my family, especially my mother." Ian said, Amara was confused because she knew her father as a nice, kind and carrying man that always helped those in need of help. "I wasn't born into a wealthy family like you, my parents weren't wealthy. My dad used to work in a restaurant and my mom was a stay at home wife. My grandfather was a plumber and he didn't earn enough money to meet all of our daily needs so we all had to depend on the money that my dad made as a waiter,and well when I was born my dad had to work extra jobs just so he could get extra money to take care of me. When I turned 4 it was discovered that I had brain tumor and I had to undergo surgery quickly because if I didn't then I was not going to leave long. The money for my surgery was way too much and my dad didn't have even 20% of it. Him and my grandfather worked extra jobs but the money was still not enough. So one day when my dad was going out looking for another job he bumped into your dad, from the way your dad was wearing and the car that he had my dad could tell that he was rich, so he went to him to ask for a job or some money for my surgery but your father laughed at him and he told him that he doesn't do charity. So my dad kept begging him and then he told him that he would do anything for him just so he could save my life...so your dad told him to bark like a dog, and well my dad did, all the people around them were watching and pointing fingers at him but he didn't have a choice, if he didn't get the money then I was going to die and the last thing that he wanted was to lose me. And then your father told him that it was not enough so he told my dad to give him six nights with mom. "Ian stopped talking for a little while because thus story was really painful for him because if he talks about it then it would just remind him of the painful memories. Amara looked at him, she was still in shock because she didn't know that her father was such a heartless man. "Well my father refused and your dad gave my dad his number and then he told him to call him as soon as he changed his mind. My dad went back home and then he told mom and my grandparents everything that had happened, my mom couldn't help but cry because her husband had been humiliated in front of a lot of people. My grandparents were speechless and they didn't know what to say or do at the moment and I was just sitting on the floor unaware of the situation but seeing my mom cry I knew that something wasn't right. After a week of them searching for extra jobs, the money was still not enough and now they had no choice but to call your dad. Dad was against at first but then he realized that he had no choice and that time I was running out of time, and mom had no choice too if she wanted to save me then she would have to sell herself to your dad, and well she did even though she felt disgusted, there was nothing that she could do about it. After that six days your father gave my parents the money as promised and I had my surgery. After a month your dad started threatening my dad with videos that he took of him and my mom doing... That. He told my dad to give him a few more nights with her and if she didn't then he would upload all the videos on the internet. My parents begged him but he didn't listen, so well he started spreading the news about my mom going around sleeping with people for money, and all the people that didn't like her also added fuel to the fire. Then that day my father made a promise to himself and us that he would make our lives better because he hated seeing us like this and then yeah... My dad entered the business world and he even surpassed your dad and your dad tried by all means to ruin mom and dad's image,and he dud succeed at one time but my parents managed to fix everything. When I found out about all thus, I had nothing but hatred for your dad and since he made my whole family suffer I thought that it was best that I make her suffer. I found out that your dad was abusive towards your mother so I told yoyr mother that I would help her if she sold herself to some business men and your mom did it, just like my mom sold herself to your dad just for me to stay alive and well I later on found out that your mother was dead so I thought of making you suffer instead. I used you to threaten your father, and well it worked it made me feel relieved to see your father beg me for mercy but I wasn't expecting him to die so soon... And that's all. " Ian said sighing. "So you dud all that just to get revenge on my dad?" Amara asked him. "Yeah." Ian said. "My dad really made yoyr lives a living hell, I guess he really did deserve to die, but couldn't you have at least spared me?" Amara asked him. "I'm sorry, I thought that he deserved it." Ian said. "And me?... You know what, I don't blame you. Maybe if I was in your shoes I would have done the same thing. But I'm still not changing my mind about leaving." Amara said. "Yeah, I respect that, but trust me I still have a lot of hatred in my heart for your father." Ian said. "He deserves it." Amara said. When Ian first started talking about all the horrible things that her father dud to Ian and his family, Amara didn't want to believe it, but Ian's eyes were full of hurt, sadness and hatred when talking about it. So Amara thought that maybe he was telling the truth and that his father wasn't the man that she thought that he was, and that was painful to hear, because she always looked up to him, and that she was proud of him, but today he has turned into nothing but a monster.
