Tears and Slamming Doors

Jessica POV

"He is not my father" I said angrily. I stormed out of the house, looking at the dark clouds knowing for sure it was going to rain

"Jess, it dark" my mum screamed after me but didn't bother me, I kept on walking though the tears threatened to fall so l increased my pace. I ended up walking into the woods since it was the best place to clear my head at the moment.

"I still can't believe Luther Maxwell is my father" I said as I shaked my head in disbelief.

Luther Maxwell is a popular billionaire in San Francisco or generally over the globe, he is a business tycoon. The incident of the past made me hate him not even that alone, I remember his last interview, that was broadcasted all over United States

"Sir would you like to tell you viewers if will have an heir or you have an heir to inherit your great works" the interviewer asked

"Heir? No, families are luxuries, you got to have someone who will depend on you and personally, I hate kids. My aim is not to have a family but to become more successful than I am right now" Luther responded

" So what you meant if am not mistaking, you don't have a wife?" The interviewer emphasized

" I don't know but might be reconsidered later and if it about the rumor. People are paid to criticize, but am not moved since it doesn't affect my career"he said with a bright smile.

"That jerk is not my father" I screamed remembering all the incident and I could hear my voice echo followed by the rain

"I can't believe my mum and I got betrayed by a man and to call my father. Surely life is full of surprises"I said as I chuckled bitterly and wiped my tears

She is the only one I had, it is time to reciprocate the love she gave me right from birth and let forget about the monster"I said though my voice could not be heard any longer due to the effect of the rain and the wind that blew across the trees. I walked back home just to see my standing in the same spot I left her.

"Mom"I ran and gave her a hug " I am sorry Mom, I knew it was hard seeing him every day onlive while he kept denying he has a family"

"It is okay Jess" she cutted in " no more explanation, we are fine without him"she said finally

" It okay Mom, infact you are the best, you show me more love than I could ever imagine. Mom's the best"

" I love you and you only"she said withdrawaled the hug.

" I love you most" I said with a bright smile as I walked her into her room, laid her on the bed "Jess, can I ask you for a favour" my mum said which I gave her a go ahead expression

" Don't look for your father, am sure he had his reasons" she said. "Reasons or not, he did a bad thing which he should pay for. He made you care for me all alone without coming to check. Am sure he doesn't know I exist" I said bitterly

" Jess stop, am begging. Just get s perfect job here and continue to live your normal life" she said. I was forced to narrated the incident that happened two month ago "how dare you hide such a thing from me"she blurted out

" I was clearly avoiding this. You have to understand I lived my whole life without a father figure and you want me to continue, I know it's not secure but I can't let bygone be bygone" I paused "you had a long day today, you should sleep now" I gave her a smile that doesn't reach my eye. I left immediately before she could agrue.

I got to my room and went straight to the bathroom stayed in the bathtub until I realized that the water was getting cold. " Today was a mess" I said inwardly walking towards my diary to record today horrible event. " He must pay for making I and my mom suffer loneliness but for now I need to know more about the asshole. And a surprise announcement will not be bad" I said with a devilish smirked. My eyes were becoming heavy.

I wonder how I could still want to sleep with the bombshell I heard today. I gave up there was no point fighting after a lost battle. I close my eyes only to dream about a scene in my childhood, when I was in the playground. Where every other kids were with either of their parent or both and I was all alone because my was busy and couldn't make it. I had cried a lot that day. I woke feeling sad as the memory was still fresh in my brain. I checked the time and I realized it was just few minutes past twelve at midnight. I turned to the other side of the bed and dozed off after few minute.
