His Cure

A scoff escape from his lips.

“This was what he wrote?”he looked up at Harry.

“Of course, daddy’s son. Your father is willing to take the hits on your behalf so why not thank him?”he taunted.

“You mean to punch him?. Now, he just made me into a greedy bastard. Is he trying to control my life?. He certainly knows I am not in for his darn properties, the hell?. Counter attack his claim.”

“He is your father!”Harry pitched.

“Well, damn father! He sent me farther away so why should I still father him?”

“Aside from being your father, he is the number two richest man in the city. Trying to oppose him directly would be sooo.. bad. We could get our heads chopped right off. Except, of course, you do that yourself.”Harry pointed his finger at him.

Gregory huffs and hit his back on the seat.

“I hate being in a tight spot. Now that..”

“Wait, I think I’ve got another surprise for you.”Harry blinked when staring at his phone screen.

“What again?”

“Well,”he looked up at him and grin.

“A really nice family you’ve got here, Greg. Amelia just dropped a post too.”

“Whose side is she on?, is she supporting or opposing?”

“Supporting, of course! You guys have not been very best of friends so why would you think she would be on your side?. Here goes her words, baby boy.

When I saw Olivia’s post, I had to think again.

Gregory likes to keep to himself, besides, this is the man that told us that he loathes love and would never get himself involved with that.

I am saying this fairly. Gregory is my brother, but I’d rather support justice rather than injustice. His sudden dating news with the girl was a big surprise to me! As his only sister, I’ve seen and know how my brother is. I would say that the only females he likes is me and Alyssa, his friend. He has always been uncomfortable around ladies. He is an introvert, yes, so, not only is he not at ease with ladies but with other, every people but he seemed more out of comfort with ladies. I am a truthful lady, and I like my people honest. I am not judging her because she is a lesbian, but because she lied. But, let’s see what they would do to cover this up now.”

“Woah.. such a savage post. I’m sure the last line was meant to let you know that she’s got keen eyes on your next activities. And, you guys are not even close so why would she say you like her?. Tsk!”

Gregory rubbed his lips.

“So, you cool with her statement?”

“She is obviously trying to drag me down too, so why would I be cool?. I’m angry. I wish to strangle her to her death. No, them. Both father and her. I hate them.”he breathed out.

Harry pocketed his phone and moved closer to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

“Just try to keep yourself in check, okay?. You’re not far from getting all destructive now and.. now and here is not appropriate.”

“I know. That’s why I’m tryna keep my infuriation in check.”

Harry nodded and removed his hand from his shoulder.

“What do we do now?”

“I’m out of ideas. Just make sure the reporters doesn’t get to this floor. I might really lose it.”he heaved a sigh.

Harry opened his drawer and brought out a bottle of drugs then thrusts it in his opened palm.

He gave him a bottled water too.

“Take your drugs and take a good sleep. Leave this to me, I will handle it.”

“What are you going to do?”he looked up at him.

“Uhmmm.. well, I will try to figure something out even if it would only stop this temporarily. I can see it’s quite an headache for you.”

“Thanks man.”

“No worries. By the way, have you called Beatrice?”

“Yeah. I told her to settle things since all these is happening because of her.”

“Did you just say because of her?”Harry jeered at him.

“If I’m right, you dragged her into this. First, you made her pretend to be your girlfriend, then took her to that party. If she hasn’t gone to that, would she have met Olivia?, and then all these wouldn’t be happening. You should be more nice to her. I’m sure this would be so overwhelming for her since she isn’t used to this life before and she even got a hit when she just began. This is all happening because of you. And, what the hell is she to you factually?. Your maid or someone who sings lullabies to you in form of stories to lure you into sleep?”

“It sounds awful when you define it like that. I would like to take a nap now. Kindly leave and go fulfill your promise.”he responded evasively.

Harry exhaled heavily.

“If she commits suicide..”he paused to analyze his facial expression.

Gregory brows deepened into a frown.

“… that would be on you. But, of course, you’re insanely rich with good connections and good lawyers at your disposal so, covering this up wouldn’t be so hard.”he said that mainly to trigger his anger.

Gregory grinded his teeth in rage.

“That won’t happen so get lost!”he flared up.

His chest was thumping in anger.

Water mixed together with red color in his eyes.

Harry gave a smug smile before exiting.

That’s the only way he could come up with to make him go gentle on the girl.

He felt bad though. He just reminded him of his mother again.

And, he knows he certainly won’t let that slip by.

★★

Beatrice blinked back the tears that threatens to fall.

What will her mother think of her should she see this?

First, she is getting married out of the blue and it is not one founded on love but money.

Second, she is being dragged on the internet?

This would truly sadden her a lot and even made her feel guilty.

★What a lame girl.★

★She intentionally hide the fact that she is a Lesbian from Gregory. She is a shameless gold digger.★

★Girls like her should be stoned to death. Oh, my poor Gregory. He is probably crying his eyes right now. Turns out she didn’t love him.★

Beatrice stared up at the ceiling.

Then, some silly thoughts crept it.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

There’s only one way to solve this – Suicide!
