THE SON THEY NEVER WANTED

CHAPTER 3

Chris stared in shock as his Father was right there, washing Darius' legs while his younger brother was busy with the house chores of cleaning and sweeping with the whole family present, watching them as a spectator.

"What the hell are you doing?" He gasped, not knowing whom he should direct the question to, His father, brother, or Darius who flipped through the magazine and sat up when he heard Chris's gasps.

"How dare you!" He slammed, kicking the glass bowl of water that splashed on Chris' father and the bowl went crashing to the ground in pieces. "What the hell did you do, you incompetent idiot!" Darius slammed in fury, he had gone half crazy when he saw the news.

"Why is my family here?" Chris asked in whispers as his eyes never left his father's.

"I called them over, they will be working in this mansion until you recover my company's reputation and pay the 100 million dollars!" Darius slammed heavily at his man Chris gasped in disbelief.

"Why?" He half yelled at him. "Having me isn't enough already? Why do you choose to spite me and my family this way, he's my father for crying out loud!"

Chris was suffocated in agony but that was the least of their problem.

"Where's the file?" Darius slammed and he swallowed.

"You went to a gangster's home to cause a scene Instead of focusing on the mission!" He yelled.

"Your daughter cheated on me!" Chris yelled back and a hot slap was sent to his face as his mother-in-law stood up.

"How dare you say nasty things about my daughter?"

"I lost my focus because of that, I was sent to such a dangerous place alone and you think it would come out fine?"

Chris was fed up with their rants and attitude, he wanted to scream and yell or punch something so hard.

"Are you saying that you're even more useless than this?"

Calista blurted out and sneered but Chris's attention was focused on his father as he swallowed.

"My father can't stay here." He said.

"Exactly! He can't stay here cause you all stink so wretchedly. Fix my company and the money required and tell them to get lost!" Darius slammed heavily.

"But where do I get such money from?"

"Then where did you get your stupidity from? Not only did you mess up, you accused my daughter of defiling herself despite her consistent loyalty to your wretched life." Mrs. Darius slammed.

"I'm not Lying!" He yelled out so loud that everyone flinched.

"The Audacity!" Darius yelled and stood up wondering what the hell had gotten Into Chris all of a sudden. Not only did he mess up with his errands, but he was also raising his voice at him. The poor idiot that sneaked his way Into his luxurious home was now eluding some effrontery.

"Call the police, I'll throw them in the Cell while he sorts out my company!"

Chris's eyes widened in shock and he fell on his knees.

"Five Days!" He muttered not knowing where that came out from. "Please just give me five days, I'll clear the crisis surrounding the company and pay the money."

Darius frowned.

"And how do you intend to do that?"

"I will, please just let them go back to their home and focus on me."

He said and pleaded in frustration.

"Just Five days or their homes will be burnt to ashes as they continue to stay here as my servants!"

Chris swallowed bitterly and nodded. He knew that there was no hope to accumulate such an amount of money in such a little space of time but that was the only way to convince Darius to let go of his family. He was going to make them flee if he had to but seeing them work under the same roof with these heartless people will be too much for him.

Darius knew that he was going to enjoy watching Chris pay hard for failing on the task he gave to him. He could barely afford his meal talk, even raising such an outrageous sum of money.

He smirked and nodded at Chris who thanked him as his life depended on it.

"Get them out of here!"

He slammed and Chris hurriedly took his father and brother out while they sneered at him. 

"How do you survive in there Chris?" His brother cried out the moment they were out and he sighed. How could he even explain such a thing to his Seventeen-year-old brother, he ruffled his jet-black hair and sighed.

"I'll be fine, just promise to take care of Dad."

"All this is happening because I'm poor, they wouldn't pick on you like that. They wouldn't curse you or send you to suicidal tasks or get married into such a wretched family. I've failed as a father!" His dad complained bitterly and Chris groaned. He knew how emotional his father could be and cursed Darius again for Involving them.

"It's fine, I'll survive." He smiled and hugged them both. 

"If anything goes wrong, don't hesitate to flee. Darius might do something stupid even though I'm not sure about what exactly!"

His brother nodded, already having a lump in his throat to cry and feeling so angry that he swore not to get trapped in a rich family. He would do all it takes to make sure he gets his brother out of such a suffocating place.

Chris conversed with his family when he sighted the black Audi that drove in and quietly dismissed them.

He knew that car so well and needed to have a confrontation with her.

Mia stepped out and was shocked at Chris standing at the entrance of the mansion when he was supposed to be asleep by this time.

"Why Mia?" Chris slammed heavily as the memories of what happened flooded in his head. He was in this mess because of her and he needs to pay for the damage if only he had successfully done his tasks without any distractions.

"We shouldn't be discussing outside!" She tried to avoid his gaze.

"No, let's discuss right here and explain why you had to cheat on me when you were carrying my baby!" Chris yelled.

"I don't owe you any explanation Chris, you're never around, never wealthy to attend to my needs. I'm a woman too and I need to be loved, if you think I'm sorry for getting the satisfaction I need outside then I'm not.!" Mia slammed in fury. "The whole world knows that you're nothing but a puppet to my dad and I don't want that! I want a man with his authority!"

She yelled and walked out on him while Chris couldn't close his mouth that was open.

Did she just say that to him?

The vibration in his pocket caused him to retrieve the phone as he opened the text message that popped in.

“ I'll make sure you pay dearly for messing with me.”
