"What do you mean, you’re pregnant!" I said fumingly to Claire as I could not believe this and I was not as sure as hell ready to be a father. Early this morning I had arrived in my happy mood and then during break time as I was talking to some chick, Claire then came and took me to someplace private saying she had something to say to me. And it was this kind of news she wanted to tell me.
"But we only did it once having protection so how the heck did you freaaking get pregnant. I'm not ready to be a father, I'm 18 for damn sake.’’ I said to her in anger. If only I had just waited and had sex with her someday in the future, on our wedding day. This would not be happening.
"I'm sorry Nathan, it just happened there is nothing I can do about it." she said to me in a small voice.
"Abort it." I said to her thinking of a solution to this.
‘’Never!" she said to me, then took my hand and put it on her stomach.
"Feel this, Nathan that is your child in there. One who is going to grow up and be like his father, handsome, rich, great and intelligent, A Nathan junior." she then said persuading me.
"Fine, we can keep it." I said to her now happy about having a Nathan junior one I could mentor, another me. I would spoil him as much as my parents did for me, giving him or her anything she ever wanted.
As for my parents they would accept it, if I told them to do so.
Everything was set, I was going to be a father. But however a little thing was niggling my mind the fleeting guilt look that had passed on Claire's face as she told me the news but I ignored it as Clare would never cheat on me.
She was the love of my life and came from a well off family. Even my mother approved of her. She was the girl I was going to marry, I was so sure of it as I could not live without her.
I then went home early, ready to tell my parents the good news but there were no one there.
"Butler where are my parents?" I said to our butler.
"Apparently sir, your mother left in the morning saying the director wanted to see her to discuss something about the film so she has traveled to Spain to see him." He responded me in a polite voice.
"Good, so what about my father, I thought he was staying home today?" I asked him wanting more information.
"Well, your father came later after your mother left and said he was now also going there to Spain to surprise your mother there for their 20th anniversary which is tomorrow so he can spent it there in Spain with her. " the butler replied.
"Cool I guess, I hope they enjoy their anniversary there in Spain." I replied with a small smile thinking of how much my parents loved each other and were still romancing it up in their marriage. Especially my father he loved mother with passion. I hoped my own marriage someday with Claire would be like that.
I then decided to call Claire over as I had the whole house over to myself.
"Hey Love, I have the house all to myself." I said to her. She then came into the mansion after I called her and kissed me on the mouth.
"Hmmmmm I already know how I want to spent my time with you." she said while trying to kiss me again.
"Wait, Claire I just want to tell you that I love you with all my heart. Promise me that you will also always love me. "I said to her while looking at her with so much love.
"Um what caused you to say that?" she then said to me while doing a small awkward laugh.
"I just want us to have the kind of love my parents have. So will you?" I asked her but she started kissing me abruptly before I could hear her answer distracting me and causing me to forget the question I had just asked.
Later that night Clare then left and after bathing I then went to eat my supper while watching news. I watched news everyday as I liked knowing what was happening around me.
But something on the news caused me to drop my glass spluttering water on the table as right there on the TV was a picture of my mother lying in a pool of blood with my father being handcuffed by the police.
"We interrupt this program to tell you live about a tragic incident which just occurred here in Spain. Our American vice president Mr Silverman has just been apprehended by the police for allegedly stabbing his wife the famous A list actress Lauren to death. It is said he went to surprise her for their anniversary tomorrow but found her in bed in the arms of her film director. He flew into intense rage and stabbed her to death.
I just stared motionlessly in shock not believing what I was seeing, the voice of the newsreporter became drowned by the sound of the ringing telephones in the house, all of them ringing.
I ignored them afraid to answer as that would only confirm that what I was actually watching was true and a reality. I did not want that.
"Sir, are you okay, there is a telephone here for you from the police who say they need to speak to you immediately." My butler said to me holding a phone.
"I...I" I said to him afraid of what I would hear once I answered that phone. But I grabbed it anyways and put it into my ear.
"Hello Mr. Silverman, we regret to inform you that your mother is dead and your father is in custody for murder. The body will be arriving tomorrow-
Beep Beep Beep
I left the phone hanging not wanting to hear what else he wanted to say.
I felt so numb at first still in shock.
"Sirs are you alright?" I heard my butler saying, snapping me out of it.
I ignored him, stood up and walked to my room staggering a bit.
I closed it shut, and fell into my bed crying weeping like a little child. My dear beloved mother was dead. My father in Jail. How did this happen?
I could still picture my lovely mother, her beautiful smile, her twinkling eyes her infectious charm. The times she would come to my bed kiss me goodnight. How she was my bestfriend and made me laugh whenever she saw me sad. My dear beloved mother, dead...gone. I could not believe it.
At the same time my heart was also breaking as to how my father could do that, to kill mother. I laid the whole night crying on my bed and cried myself to sleep. A sleep I never wanted to wake up from as reality hurt so much.
3 days later I could not believe it, this was still actually happening to me Nathan Curtis Silverman the billionaire.My mother had actually died and my father was in custody. Things like this did not happen to a person like me.Maybe I'm dreaming. Yes that's right, this is just one big giant dream and I would wake up very soon to find my mother and father eating breakfast while waiting for me to wake up. Yes that's right. I said convincing myself.However this dream was taking too long as I now found myself in a house full of uninvited guests who were relatives I never knew about also offering me their condolences.Some aunt, I didnt know I had, coming and forcing me to wake up bath and change for my mother's supposed funeral. Heck I wanted to have a word or two with my gate men for letting these people in. They were causing me to be more insane.Their fake smiles, condolences were killing me.But at le
After leaving my father at the police station, I then went back home only to find my so called relatives all still there.Many of them I did not actually know and yet here they were all trying to look as though they knew me."Oh Nathan.""I'm your uncle, Nathan still remember me?"They were all making me crazy. I knew they were all just here for the money. Since I'm a minor not yet 18 they were all fighting to be chosen as the one to be my guardian so that they could enjoy being filthy rich.Some people were just shameless.In this bad mood of mine, I wanted to order them all to leave this once and if they didn't they would be escorted by my bodyguards but however lucky for them there was media outside so i could not make a scene.As I was standing there in the guest room with Clare not trying to be rude. I then saw my parent’s lawyer coming to talk to me."Nathan can I see you for a minute there is something important an
I woke up to find myself in a hospital with some doctor speaking to Mr Johnson and that aunt who forced me to bath that day for the funeral. I think her name was Aunt Maggie or something like that as I could not remember and my brain was still fuzzy."Nathan your awake, I was really worried my boy." Mr Johnson the lawyer said to me."How long have I been in here?" I said asking him."Only 2 days, apparently your body could not take the stress, not eating and dehydration. It shut off. Then the good doctors here fixed you back by giving it what it needs, water, food and rest. You need to take proper care of yourself young men." Aunt Maggie answered as if she cared but i was not buying it."Sure, so where is Claire?" I asked them wanting to see my love. I then saw them giving each other weird looks."Um well an emergency occurred at her house so she had to quickly go there after you fainted and we haven't seen her since." Mr. Johnson answered with a s
How could she?How could she do.this do me?I thought to myself as I looked and saw the love of my life, the only good thing left in my life, sleeping on bed, kissing another person with so much passion."My Claire." I whispered broken heartedly feeling hallow inside as I watched her slowly and rapidly break my vulnerable heart into bits of pieces.Having heard my whisper the both quickly separated and looked at me only for me to realise the other person was none other than my bestfriend Kelvin.As the both looked at me Claire was actually rolling her eyes at me and Kelvin now had a smirk on his face even putting his hand back on Claire's exposed leg."Oh hey Nathan, as you can see I have moved on to another person with more money than your now poor miserable self." she said to me while looking at her nails as if i was nothing to her."I loved you, why Claire, why are you doing this to me?" I asked her with silent pained tears flowing
In the middle of the night I the heard noises a deep voice that was shouting at Aunt Maggie."You stupid woman! What did I tell you? Didn't I tell you to go to that filthy rich house of your sisters and to come back with money? Now where is my money?’’*Slap*"ANSWER ME!" I heard the voice bellow out loud causing me to quickly put on my clothes and go see what was going on.I entered the kitchen to find this giant huge man, assaulting aunt Maggie who looked scared shitless as the man started complaining about the nasty food with aunt Maggie replying that it was the only food in the house and to my horror him throwing the bowl of hot noodle at her."Hey stop it!" I quickly said stepping in front of Aunt Maggie to protect her as he was about to slap her again."Who the hell are you, oh please don't tell me-You brought that little piece of shit of a boy here into my house without any money!" the huge man said shouting
"Good day." I said bitterly to Aunt Maggie and then slammed the door going to the school bus which had arrived.I just entered into the bus and ignored everyone going straight to sit at the back. I put on my headphones and observed these new schoolmates of mine. They were noisy, uncivilized, gangsterish and from the look of some torn backPacks, poor too. Just like me since I was also now part of the poor people.We arrived at this old looking building that did not look like an actual school more like a warehouse for criminals. The only thing that assured me that this was actually a school was the bunch of students outside waiting for the bell to ring.As I got out of the bus, I then saw many of the students now looking at me assessing me. I guess I also stuck out of the school with my expensive clothes and the style I was wearing whereas they were all trying to look like gangsters.As I walked to the office I suddenly regretted bringing my expensive table
As afternoon arrived, the doctors released me saying I was now fine to go as long as I applied some gel to the scars they would heal pretty quickly.Aunt Maggie irritated me with her pestering as I knew she only wanted my money. I was also angry with her for preventing me from being killed as I could have been gone by now.We arrived home and I saw that monster husband still there and he sneered at me. I ignored him and went to my room where I found the room in complete ruin. With some of my most expensive clothes missing and I already knew the culprit. That monster had sold my clothes!Feeling angry and frustrated as tears threatened to come out of my eyes as this was all i had left, I decided to talk a walk somewhere, anywhere, to calm down.I then found a nice place surrounded by tree and went to sit there.Tears started flowing down my face as I started thinking about how my mother would have been busy trying to make sure I had the best 18th bi
So here I was living for a few days at Ricky's pad until I found my own place. Although it looked shabby, it was big. As like all boys’ places it was a huge big mess. With clothes everywhere, cigarettes etc"Welcome to my pad." Ricky had said to me as he helped me to unpack my things. Apparently it was a 20 roomed flat housing Ricky and his other gang members. They had all been shunned by their parents, loved ones etc because of their chosen gangster lifestyle, doing drugs and getting arrested.The owner did not mind them staying there as long as they paid the rent in full which they did. After we arrived, a party had been thrown to welcome me to the gang. There was the usual things, partying, alcohol, drugs, dance music and girls.So I had to spend the whole night, doing drugs and drinking alcohol until I was completely wasted and passed out in a sofa.As the next day came, I found myself waking up with a killer headache sleeping on a sofa where so
