Chapter 2 FATHER'S JOKE
FABIO
I opened my eyes lazily and the first thing I saw right was the face of a sleeping blonde lady whose name I honestly can’t remember.
I moved to the edge of the bed and stood up, picked my towel and walked into the bathroom.
After the cold bath, I dressed up in my normal outing outfit.
As I walked to the bed, she opened her eyes and began to stretch lazily.
“Good morning baby. You are already dressed. Are you going somewhere?” she asked in a high pitched voice that suddenly began to irritate me.
“Get out.” I ordered.
She looked at me like I was bluffing before she began to laugh.
“You can’t be serious right?”
Do I look like I am joking here?
“Baby what’s wrong with you? You can talk to me and we can talk about this.” she tried to remind calm.
“I am not interested in talking. Get out this instant.” I ordered again.
“But what about what happened between us last night?” she asked.
She must really be a fool because it seems she isn’t aware that this is just a one night stand.
“Listen I am not ready for this. Fucking leave my bed right now. Don’t fucking test me.”
Her eyes widen when she finally figured that I wasn’t joking around.
I watched her impatiently as she starts to dress up while she kept grumbling under her breath.
“You are so ridiculous and so annoying. I heard rumours about you but I thought this was different. I thought it was all a lie. Now I see why you are called different names. You are so evil. You fucking womaniser. This is why you don’t have a mate yet. No one can settle with a bloody asshole like you.”
I listened to her complain without uttering a single word to her neither did I feel moved. I have heard worst than this from all the ladies who I kicked out. They seems to forget that they brought this upon theirselves by throwing theirselves at me first. I never pursued any of them first.
Finally she picked her bag and phone before leaving angrily.
I picked the telephone on the desk and pressed the first number.
“Come clean this room.”
The sound of my phone ringing caught my attention.
I was just about to ignore the call when I noticed it was my dad who was calling.
“Dad.” I said when I picked the call.
“Fabio my dear son, when are you coming home?” I heard him say.
“I have been busy this couple of days.” I answered.
“Well you need to create some time for your old man. Or do you want me to die of loneliness and sadness?”
He just had to add the last sentence knowing how much I hated to hear him talk about death.
“I will come home tonight.” I breath out.
“Can you come now, I have a huge surprise for you.” he sounded so excited which was suspicious.
The last time I heard him sound this excited was when my m……….. well it has been a really long time.
“Fine. Am on my way.” I sighed as I hoped this surprise better be worth it.
“Welcome alpha. Your dad has been waiting for you in his office.” Simon our butler for as long as I can remember said.
“Thank you old Sim.” as I always call him.
I went to my dad’s office. But before I got to the door, I heard a woman’s voice giggling inside the office.
Curiosity got the best of me.
I knocked gently and opened the door when I heard my dad say come in.
I was surprised to see my dad sitting a bit too close to a redhaired woman who looks like she is in her late forties or early fifties.
She doesn’t look like she is from here and I can’t sense a wolf in her.
“My son is finally back. Come give your old man a hug. I have missed you so much son.”
My father stood up and walked up to me for a hug.
I reluctantly hugged him back although I could sense something is going on here because he doesn’t have to act too extreme in front of his guest.
“Have a seat son.” he went back to sitting close to the unknown woman.
“Dad why did you send for me?” I asked him.
Instead of giving me an answer, he turned to the woman and smiled.
“I told you he will go straight to the point. My son is just like that. Please bare with him.”
And why does she need to know all that about me?
Could it be that he wants me to settle down with this woman?
Hell no.
“I want to introduce you to Katherine. Katherine, this is my only son Fabio.” he was beaming with so much excitement.
The human smiled at me and gave me a tiny wave. With a straight face I nodded once.
“I will like to announce that Katherine here is my legal and lawful wife.”
I was just about to nod again when I registered what he just said.
“Your what?”
“She is my wife.”
My dad answered.
I started to laugh.
This has to be one of the craziest and unbelievable joke ever. And here I thought he was about to say she is going to be my mate. I didn’t know it was worst than I thought.
“Did I say something funny?” my dad asked looking confused.
“How can you be married dad? You know very well that you can’t get married.”
My mood has now darkened.
“I can which is why I did. I am all alone and you don’t have time for me. I found Katherine who also lost her spouse, we fell in love and I am happy to be married to her. Her presence has suddenly filled a void space in my heart.”
“Dad please, spare me the details… you know I don’t give a shit about all that. You suddenly got married to a complete stranger and you expect me to what? Just accept what you have done? Bloody fuck no. I will not accept this.” I added.
How dare he claim to be in love with a total stranger? What about my mother who died saving his ass? If she knew he was going to do this, did he really think that she will sacrifice her life for him to live?
This feels like he is betraying my mother and I don’t like it.
“Fa………”
“No, you listen to me….” I rudely interrupted him because I didn’t want to hear anything from him.
“…… don’t think I will accept this sham you call a marriage because clearly that’s all I think it is. Count me out of this madness of yours.”
I stood up and began to walk to the door. The moment I opened it, something or rather someone fell face flat on the ground right in front of me.
The person laying flat wasn’t my concern. My major concern was the broken statue laying on the ground.
It was a statue of a woman carrying a baby. That was my mum’s favourite object.
I knelt down to pick the broken pieces with my hands shaking.
I let out a low growl and looked at the culprit who caused this whole mess.
What the hell is another redhaired human doing here?
