The Myles Diaz Family

chapter 2

Cameroon went to his room to freshen up first, before coming down to join the family for an awesome feast.

They all were seated at the huge dinning, as the maids made to serve them.

Their family is a really big one.

A little intro on the Myles Diaz family;

We have Mr Myles Diaz - Cameroon's father and owner of the biggest, most popular, wealthiest and most influential company In town.

Myles Diaz - Cameroons father, had three wives - there's Agnes Myles Diaz - which happens to be the first wife and have two daughters - twins actually - Hailey and Miley. They are identical twins and one can hardly differentiate them.

She couldn't give birth to a male child; but that wasn't the issue - the problem started when Mr Myles started having an affair outside, not just with anyone, but with Agnes closest friend - Beatrice; who later became pregnant for him and everything was later revealed

Mr Myles was so happy it's gonna be a boy, because that's what Beatrice told him- but it later turned out to be a lie; as she had given birth to a female child as well.

All his hope was dashed, and in his grief and not so right frame of mind, he had raped Isabel - who happens to be Cameroon's mother

It was one of the biggest regrets In his life, but it later turned out good as Isabel was the one that gave birth to a boy. Everything changed and Mr Myles immediately got married to her.

He has loved her more than the others and treated her and Cameroon specially, and even though Beatrice later took in again and borne a male child - the love Mr Myles has for Cameroon and his Mom was undiluted - and this led to so much hatred, anger and bitterness from the other wives and Cameroon's step siblings as well

Their family was a battle field; with each day coming with its own troubles - a typical war zone.

Cameroon left to study abroad, not because there weren't good schools in the country, but because he wanted to get away from the family drama for sometime; and now...he's back

They all look happy and united, and anyone that would walk in now, will assume their family was the perfect one - one of a kind; if only they know.

" so tell me son, how was your trip?" Isabel asked her son, as he munched on his chicken

The maids were done serving them, and they all set to fill their stomachs.

Cameroon paused his eating to smile at his mom

" it was great mom" he smiled broadly at her

" and how was school?" that was Mr Myles.

" awesome too" Cameroon replied

Cameroon looked at the faces of his step siblings and their mothers and somehow wish things had taken a different turn since he left - that things had turned for the better; and that they weren't at eachothers neck again, and just when he was about to conclude this thought in his head, Agnes spoke;

" and did you bother to ever ask Hailey and Miley how their master's programme went, when they returned?" she threw at Mr Myles

" why bring that up now?" Mr Myles cautioned

" because you always like to show and take more interest in Cameroon and his mother than you do to the rest of us" she let out angrily

" speak for yourself. my babies and I are doing so great" Beatrice said

" coming from someone that slept with her best friends husband" Agnes fired with rage

" well...it wasn't my fault that I'm too beautiful and hot and he couldn't resist me, either is it my fault that you couldn't satisfy him in bed" Beatrice fired back at Agnes, and that was it.

Hell was let loose as Anges angrily threw the fork with her to Beatrice face, but Javier was quick to hold it, and prevent it from hitting his mom in the face

That didn't stop Agnes as she was already flared up, and got up ready to attack and bounce on Beatrice

" you have the guts to say that to me - to my face. you ungrateful, spoilt brat. you're so shameless and should always hide your head in shame and disgust, because people like you irritate me so damn much" Agnes raged

" and I can say the same for you" Beatrice Said getting up as well. she made to get closer to Agnes but was held back my Javier and his sister - Raquel

" just let it go mom" Javier said tying to calm her down

" hell no...I won't and will never let it go. is it my fault she couldn't give birth to a male child or is it my fault she..." she wasn't able to complete her statement as Agnes landed a very hot slap across her face.

Her hand flew up to her face immediately as she winced in pain..she made to fight back but was held my Javier who pushed her to Raquel, and Raquel held her tight

" what gave you the guts to slap my mom?" Javier lashes out at Agnes.

Hailey and Miley stood up immediately and went to their mothers side.

" how dare you talk to my mom in such manner?" Hailey said through gritted teeth

" and what will you do about it, huh?" Javier asked getting very close to her, till their faces were just few inches apart

" don't you dare touch my sister" Miley said as she clenched her fist

" or talk to her in a disrespectful manner, she's your senior" Miley said furiously

" are you seriously taking about respect right now. you seriously want your sister to be respected by my brother, really?" Raquel laughed

" I wasn't talking to you bitch " Miley walked to meet Raquel

Beatrice had already sat back on her chair

Cameroon and his mom just sat and watch the unending drama, while Mr Myles couldn't help it. He took his fingers into his hair from time to time and sighed severally

Presently, his palm was on his forehead, with his head down in regrets and confusion

" I dare you to say one more word" that was Miley to Raquel

There were so close and stare at eachother in the eyes with so much hatred

Miley was way older than Raquel, but that wasnt the thing - she - Miley; was a tomboy and very strong. so...you can imagine

" enoughhhh. enough already" Mr Myles banged his fist on the table so hard as he yelled

They all stopped at once and looked at him

The anger they saw In his eyes was unlike any they have ever seen before-It was different

They haven't seen him get so angry and pissed off before

They withdrew from each other immediately, as Miley went back to Hailey and their mother, and Javier to Raquel and his mom.

Mr Myles stood up, looked at them all in disgust, anger and regret and walked out, not uttering a word to either of them

They would have continued with their quarrels and all, but couldn't as Cameroon got up also and took the stairs, heading to his room.

His mom - Isabel; soon followed suit

The energy to fight and argue was lost, as the two parties gave a hard glare at themselves before finding their way to their respective room, leaving the feast they had intended to have and the numerous dishes - some of them untouched. They were yet to even start eating, and half way into the meals they were served.

Cameroon's Pov;

I angrily took the stairs and walked up to my room.

This is the worst family get together I've had in my entire life.

Couldn't they at least, for the sake that I had been gone for a very long time - keep their differences aside and act like everything is fine?

If only it was just for today, and then tomorrow they could carry on with their unending drama; but no, no...they always have to act so bitchy and self centered all the time

" son" I heard a feminine voice at my back. I knew already it was my mom's.

She walked further till she got to where I was sitting on the bed

" I know you're angry and mad, but"

of course I'm mad. who wouldn't be?

Here I was thinking we could have a perfect evening together. Here I was , waiting to see my family again after so many years, and here they were making life feel the same way - reminding me of why I had left In the first place - telling me to just give up on having anything good with my family

" it's always been this way and you know it...you of all people know this too well" mom said turning my head to face her.

She had this look of worry and concern in her face

" it's okay mom. I'm fine.i shouldn't have expected so much from them" i said forcing out a smile

" I know right. you shouldn't have" she said

There was a brief silence

" why dont you get some rest. I'll check up on you later" she said.

I nodded and laid on the bed..she pecked me, and walked to the door, opened it and left.

What a day!!
