Chapter 26: twenty six
And I was right about his plan being bigger than all of us because later that week, The Price Mansion was being vacated, like completely thrown out, I have no idea what was going on but this was too for me to watch
"what the hell is wrong with you?" I yelled at him with so much anger that his PA flinched, he sighed tiredly, like he was expecting my outburst, again. I mean come on nobody knows anybody the way he thinks he knows me.
"Excuse us," he told his PA and walked towards me, he yanks on my arm and pulls me out of the room. He glares at me when we are pulled into an empty conference room. "Who do you think you are? Huh, barging into my office, as you own it, I'm done with your ungrateful ass of an attitude," he screamed in my face, his face was furious and the veins on his face were making themselves known. Ok, that scared me a little, I hadn't expected that kind of reaction from him. He was being scary and this time I realize that this is the same person that shot a guard dead.
I was stunned by his outburst and was slightly afraid of him, I didn't say anything I wanted to make sure he spoke his anger out before I add gasoline, to this fire.
"You had no right to kick your grandparents out of their own house" I yelled back with the same kind of fury, I know I was digging my own grave with this kind of attitude but this was a given, this was a major thing.
He pulled me closer "what I do with them is none of your concerns, and what they are to me is my problem, not yours" he pushed me away with a jerk "stay away, you are not a Price any more. know your limits or you will be removed the same way they are," with that he walked out of the conference room slamming the door on his way out.
I stood there comprehending what the fuck just happened, the reality of the situation drowned down at me and his words no matter how vicious but what he said was right, I have no right to interfere in their business. I was in a contract relationship with him and it ended with a divorce but with my experience and emotions I share with the family, is not something I could neglect
I drove back to the Price mansion and see movers moving things left and right, Robert was on a phone call talking aggressively, whereas Adaline was sitting on a recliner sipping wine from her glass. "Adaline, how are you? I'm so sorry this is happening," I tell her as I sit across from her and hold her unoccupied hand, she raised her head to look at her and snarled.
she ripped her hand out of my grasp and stood from her seat " how am I? how dare you come into this house and ask about my wellbeing? you wretched bitch," she tilts her wine glass on my head. Red wine poured down on me, sinking into my white dress shirt as it completely drenches my hair with the alcoholic beverage, I gasp in shock at her expected behavior. " get the hell away from me and my family!" she screamed "everything was so good until you came along, my baby pretended to be dead so to get rid of you, and now he won't even look at me, this is all your fault he is like this because of you. you did this, he is doing all of this because of you." she ended up crying as she falls on the floor weeping into tears. it took me a moment to gather myself into realizing what had happened" did you sell yourself to him? Did you use your whorish way to seduce my baby into doing this? Tell me?" She screamed crying her heart out
The weight of her words was too much for me to bear, the accusation was just too much, there are certain things that a lot of people can't take, and that includes self-respect.
Robert saw the whole thing and came running to help his weeping wife, he held her close and look at me "I think it's better if you leave now," he looks at me with the same look of the accusation he was born not so long ago. "And tell him that he will never have to worry about us ever again, I can take care of my wife, this much humiliation is enough he can live in peace now and tell him I regret bringing him home and taking care of him like a family, should have left him at the foster care like he was supposed to be" he yelled furiously as he hugged his wife pulling her closer to his body, mumbling sweet nothings Defeated I leave the mansion and drove back home, I jump into the shower first and scrub the remnants of the expensive red wine off my body, I don't go back to the office but take care of things from home. I tried to busy myself with work so, I couldn't think of the incident that took place today, I sigh placing my laptop on the coffee table and look at the ceiling and recall all the memories of the past six years of my life, all of those include unwanted stress and fake relationship and in the end, I have been accused of whoring myself out. This makes me regret my decision of ever marrying into this family, I could have taken a loan like a normal person instead of selling myself to the devil.
"Maybe it's time to move on, maybe I need some me time," I say out loud and nodd to myself, I pull out my phone from my bag and order a huge jumbo size pepperoni pizza with lots of cheez, but for beverage I had to go to the nearby store because my kind of beverage was vodka and that is something the pizza people don't sell. the order would be here in 20 minutes so it was enough time for me to buy vodka. I change into some jeans and a t-shirt and grab my wallet.☐☐
