LUCAS' POV
"Gabana, yea? I'd be there by 8pm" I affirmed before ending the call. Elena approached me.
"Hey Lucas, Antonio said you're taking me to college to finish up my registration" She informed me with a straight face.
"He said that? "
"Yes"
"Does dad ever consider my opinion? He keeps hooking me up like he owns and manages my time" I blurted angrily
"What do I have to do? Antonio said he has worked everything for me."
"Why would he ask me to accompany you to college? Why does he never seek my permission before delegating tasks? I continued to nag.
"Lucas, can you please stop nagging so we can get done with this and I can leave you the heck alone."
I ignored her and continued ranting. She murmured some stuff and left. I drove off to the beach afterward, I had an appointment with my mum
I sighted her from afar with a little boy. She was wearing shades and tanning her skin under the Sun. The little boy ran towards me the moment he saw me. "Lucas, I've missed you" He hands wrapped my feet before I lifted him up to my chest. "Hey, little champ! High five"
"Lucas, I was the best in 4th grade. I made you proud"
"You did, champ. You are the best". I congratulated him with a smile before handing him a wrapped gift. He was so excited.
"Mum, Lucas got me a gift"He rejoiced.
"Yes, he did. Now run along, I'd love to discuss with Lucas." Mum instructed and he ran to the waters.
"Mum! " I called as I sat beside her. She took off her shades.
"How are you doing, son? "
"Mum! I'm okay" I replied reluctantly.
"How is your dad? "
"Dad is getting married"
"So I heard, " She replied indifferently.
"Her name is Isabel, she looks pretty young and her daughter is about my age"
"ummm"
"I'm f*****g tired mum, dad is still very manipulative and controlling. CEO of Francaisé enterprise even at home. Dad walked up to me to announce he was bringing a woman and her daughter without any form of opinion seeking, he announces his wedding over breakfast without any preformed knowledge. Dad hooks me up with this Elena like she's my responsibility. Dad and I have not been talking for a while now"
"How is Isabel and her daughter taking it? "
"Isabel is pretty much in love and excited. Elena hasn't come to terms with the fact that her mother is getting married for whatever reasons she have"
"You dad loves her? "
"Yea, I've never seen him so serious about another woman since you left. He is allover Isabel, must be in love. I don't f*****g care, can he leave my life the heck alone?"
"Your dad sent me money on Eric's birthday. He gave Eric a scholarship. Your dad pities me. I'm pathetic" She sobbed.
"Mum, dad has always been generous. When he heard of the death of your husband. He felt sorry for your loss and decided to help out. Mum, you have to give up your insecurities and focus on raising Eric" I admonished in a firm tone as I stroked her back.
"I'm not some charity work. I don't want to be pitied"
"Mum! That's why you and dad never worked out. Let go of your pride, Eric is priority."
"I'm sorry son, for not being there for you. I'm sorry for being so selfish"
"Mum, it's fine. I'm all grown now and can handle myself. Please do a better job with Eric—he is a smart kid"
Eric came back from playing with the waters and started listing me about his school. He is my only younger sibling, I've loved him from the day mum got pregnant. I just want him to have all he needs, all the attention, all the love, everything.
By Sundown, I went to the club with my guys. My usual fun-time. I walked to the counter and ordered a shot of tequila. I gulped it down before my girls came over.
"Hey Lucas! " Ana and Andrea greeted me.
"Hello beautiful, did you miss me?" I kissed Ana on the right and kissed Andrea on the left.
They dragged me to the dancing floor, rocking my c**k with their booties. I knew we'd have a threesome afterwards, they were bad bitches and I handled them really well. I took turns to kiss them, groping their bodies.
As I lifted my head, I saw Elena in the crowd coming towards me. "Elena? What was she doing here?
I left the girls immediately and walked to where Elena was standing. I dragged her outside.
"What are you doing here? "
"I though Jessica was your woman, "
"I never told you that"
"You w***e" She cursed
"Mind your business and go back to your mum at home"
"I thought you were the quiet, well-behaved son. You are kissing two girls in the club, huh"
"Shut up, Elena. I don't owe you any explanation because we kissed. Go cry to your mama. I'd drop you off at home" I dragged her by the hand. She was so pissed by my response, she pulled out of my grip.
"I'm not your responsibility right, I'd find my way home."
She walked off angrily before I could say anything. I went back to the club. "f**k it!"
I got home really late, Dad and Isabel were in the living room. Dad was making a call and Isabel was pacing here and there.
"Hey dad, hello Isabel" I greeted as I almost walked past them.
"Lucas, where is Elena? " Dad asked, his voice laced with fear. My heart sank immediately.
"Elena isn't home yet? "
"No she is not, her number isn't going through as well" Isabel cried.
"I thought she was with you, I've been trying to reach you. You were supposed to take her to college this morning"
"eeerm, my phone was switched off" I replied, I had switched of my phone on purpose while f*****g Ana and Andrea. Dad was pestering me with calls.
"Elena doesn't know anywhere in Madrid, where she could have gone to. My child! " Isabel broke down into tears and dad tried to console her.
My mind was paralyzed, guilt wrapped my chest. I saw her leave angrily from the club. It was a dangerous place, I knew she overheard my conversation on the phone and traced me there.
"Elena, where are you? " I called out in my head.
