Chapter 95

He take a deep thought before he strode into the office room. There will only be one reason the Demon have called him to his office, it will rather be his business plans and nothing more.

He had never shows him love like the way father loved and cared for his child. All he wants, for Steve to do things he that pleased him, taking over the family business while the young man have his own dreams to followed. His passion for fashion and modeling. That have been his dream right from the beginning! But the man he called father, never wants to hear of that or even seen him in that company.

His father was on focus on his business than his own family. The man was a demon business man, A man that was so greedy and always want more in his life. Becoming the third richest man in city, wasn't enough with him. He still envy the powerful family in the city. The Walters. He had tried everything to be compared with the Walters but never have a chance comes. How wish his son will paid more time in the business than his silly desire for fashion.

He rather spend more days in his office then sitting with the family members or having fun with them just like normal people do.

Steve childhood life? Was never like other kids. He had to done everything possible to please the old man. His study, his character even the way he dress. Everything had to be in order according to the way his father likes.

He had forever being living in his own shadow all his life. He can't stands up to himself or decide things that contains his life.

In spite of, he had done to please him, nothing seen to trigger the old man.

Steve heaved a deep breath, shook off the thoughts bothering him and boldly walked further.

"Father!" He greeted, bowed down his head as soon his eyes saw the old man in his office chair.

A man in his fifties sat delicately on his chair, legs crossed like a king in his palace. His grey hair was combed backward. The suit he wore was hung to his masculine shoulders, revealing his old good looking body despite his age, he was still this handsome.

His face wore a serious expression as cold as ice, there was no bliss of smile on his lips or even bother to seen the boy.

Steve never expect him to shower him with father love because he had never done that before. When normal father seen their son who left home and later comes back, they feel happy and overjoyed but his father case is different. Sometimes he wonder how he manage to get married when he never cares to show anyone love in the house.

"You're back. Good thing you are. Please have a seat son" Mr Smith said coldly.

Steve nods and took his seat. He was certainly sure thses decision will lead to business and nothing more.

"How was trip in Canada?"

"It's fine Dad. How was business?" He quicken asked because he knows where his father is leading to.

"Good. Since you're back from your unknown trip, it's time we discuss about something more important than any useless thing you have in mind" Mr Smith address drily.

Steve swallowed, his father was more than a beast he thought. He didn't even care about his own happiness. Steve tried to control the break heart he had. Why can't he just gives him a moment to prove himself to him.

With no more thoughts, Steve asked. "What's that Dad?"

Mr Smith compose himself well on the couch, looking deep into the boy eyes before he uttered the word he had kept so long in. He had thought about it over and over again. It's is time, it's time to let the boy into the business world, the dark business world.

"I think you're ready for the business world" he said.

"Business.... World?" Steve asked shockingly. But why now? The days he had given to him wasn't over yet? Why is he going against his own word!

"Dad... Dad but the days haven't expired. I since have time to proved myself to you. I am.."

Mr Smith arouse from his chair furiously.

"Just shut the fuck up! What do you thinks you are! Huh? A fashion show boy? I give birth to you and my blood runs in your veins. But you appears to be weak and selfish! I have given you enough days, months years and times to prove your stupid yourself out! Yet nothing good happened!"

Steve just stood on his chair sliently. These what he always does. Pushing him away from his dream and passion. He never cares to listen to him or hear what he had to say for just once! His opinion is always right while his, is just being selfish!

But didn't stop Mr Smith to keep his mouth closed instead he increase his voice high.

"Do you know many boys out there looking for this opportunity? You should be happy that I am considering you as my son to take over the company but there you are. Behaving like a five year old child! You better stands you on his feet and act like a man instead of a chicken! You're a disgrace to this household Steve!"

Steve sighed, it was always like this. He loves to hit him with painful word that would broke him down to his bone. The man is just a demon, a hateful one!

After more hours of yelling at the boy. He stopped, sat down on his chair. His cold eyes glared at him angrily.

"Get prepared tomorrow you are going to the office to start working. Whether you liked it or not. You are going"

Steve clenched his hands on his Jean. After the bastard he call father have insulted his life. He wants him to start working tomorrow?

Steve didn't obliged, he have no power to do so. Besides, the man in front of him is still his father no matter what. He have to obey him and follow his words.

"You don't have to worry father. I will start tomorrow" he said coldly. Despite the fat he hate what his father always say to him. He still choose to accept the offer.

Mr Smith was stunned and pleased. He didn't except the boy to accept that easily. He was thinking maybe Steve would disagree since the days he had given to him isn't yet expired.

Even though, Steve refused to accept his offer, he would threat him with his modeling country in Canada. There is no way Steve can let anything go wrong with that company since he valued it with his life.

Mr Smith smirks, grabs a glass of wine and seeped from it.

"Are you sure?" He asked drily while his lips clenched on the glass. "You heard me right father I accept to work in the Smiths company"

Steve could feel his rage hitting up to him. But he tried to sustain himself before his anger show.

"That's good but.."

"May I have my leave now. I'm famished" Steve makes up an excuse before his father could come up with another instructions.

Mr Smith was amazed by the boy quick excuse but he didn't mind, aside-from that, he have entirely convinced the boy. There no way he would dare to defy his word.

Steve seemed just as a puppet in the hands of Mr Smith . He can do anything he like whether it please the boy or not. That's no of his business!

He smiled victoriously to his work. If he didn't take a hard hand on the boy, he would keep on brings disagree to the family.

" You can go" he dropped the wine glass on the desk and pick up a cigarette. Lights up and waved his hand at the boy.

Steve didn't waste more time and strode angrily out of the room.

Meanwhile, Mrs Smith was evadropping on the door. She couldn't believe her husband was still hard to this boy until now. She sighed, and felt sorry for her poor son. It have always be hard to the boy to keep up with his father. Why just can't him just listen to him for just five minutes of his time! Is that too hard to ask for?

Steve stamped out savagely. "I hate my life and I hate being the son of this bastard!" He complaints inside. Instantly his eyes fall on his mother at the door entrance.

" Son, how did it go? " Mrs Smith asked worriedly, she knows it was a complete disaster.

" It went as you heard Mum " Steve said coldly and left. His life have always mean nothing to the bastard what more can he expects from him.

Mrs Smith sighed tirelessly. She could understand the pain the boy is going through. But why?

Back in the office room,

Mr Smith kindly pick up his phone and dialed a number. "Hello Pain, arrange everything in the underworld business. My son have accepted to be part of it. It's time he understands the means of making money"
