Mylar came out of her room to stretch a little after sleeping for so long, her entire body was aching. She was about to go back inside to get analgesics when she heard the usually harsh voice sounding sweet. She thought her ears were paining her as well until she turned around, behind her stood her grumpy and annoying landlady with a smile on her face, her smile was rather creepy than friendly.
"Good morning Mylar, how was your night?" she asked.
Mylar ignored her and turned around to quickly go back into her room.
"Mylar? I am so sorry for all that I have been doing to you. I did all of that because I was greedy and wanted money at all costs, you shouldn't blame me." She said to Mylar with a sad face.
Mylar turned back towards her with a smile and asked.
"Who should I blame then?"
Huh!! The landlady said as she didn't hear what Mylar said.
"You don't have to explain, I have forgotten about it," Mylar said quickly and went back to her room.
Camilo dove into his dad's Mansion, he got down from his car and walked in hurriedly.
Mr. Julian Wylder was seated in his study room going through some files when his son barged in. He looked up quickly at Camilo who was looking all puffed up and upset.
"You must surely have a good reason for barging in like that?" Mr Julian said to him disgusted by Camilo's impudence. He then put down the files he was holding.
Camilo sat down and apologized to his dad, and then he quickly said what he came for.
"Dad, I came here to report Elio to you. I thought you stopped him from coming into the office but he was here today and was acting all self-important before me." Camilo complained bitterly.
Mr. Julian started laughing hysterically, he couldn't control his laughter. He couldn't believe how stupid his son was.
Camilo watched painfully at how his dad was deriding him. Mr. Julian stopped laughing and denounced Camilo harshly.
"Are you that stupid? You can't handle your baby brother on your own and you are here to complain. You should be ashamed of yourself."
Camilo looked down, he felt hurt and also looked like a big i***t before his dad.
Mr. Julian said to Camilo corroborating Elio.
"Now listen to me, today I strongly support your little brother. If you can't handle your brother by yourself, how do you expect to handle so many businesses and properties? Sometimes when I look at you, I can't help but think that you are a bastard and not my son."
Then he pointed to the door and said.
"Go, get out. Go and solve your problem, be a man."
Camilo got up and walked to the door, while Mr Julian got back to what he was doing.
After leaving his dad's study, Camilo was despondent. He went to the garden and sat there thinking. For over eighteen years now, he had obeyed all his dad's orders starting from how to sit, eat, talk to people, and also how to behave. And today, his dad paid up his loyalty, obedience, and love by outrightly calling him a bastard because of Elio, a son who didn't care about what his dad wanted.
He was wiping off the tears on his face when his mom arrived at the garden.
"Are you okay?" She asked and sat down next to him on the grass. She cupped his face in her two hands and brought it before her and then, she landed a gentle kiss on his forehead.
"I am fine," Camilo replied with a false smile on his face.
She understood that he was lying and tried to make him tell her what was wrong but he wouldn't. She gave up after a while and then asked him.
"Do you want to come inside and have a cup of tea mixed with a little honey with me like old times?" She asked with a smile.
"No. I don't feel like it." He replied showing his disinclination.
