WALLACE
It's been a week since my father asked me to give him a grandchild. And f**k me because I said yes. I agreed because he will give me my mother's money and her private Island. I feel like a f*****g w***e, wow. f**k me for Pete's f*****g sake!
He vowed that he will never give my mother's property and her hard-earned money to us. Because he believed that we will just disrespect my mother once me, and Leon get the document. But he is wrong, I want my mother's property because she told me that we have to inherit her money and property because she bought those for us, for me and Leon. She worked hard for it.
And now, my father is ready to give up my mother's property and money for one thing, I need to give him a grandchild or grandchildren.
What kind of mess I let myself in to? f**k.
"Hey, Wallace. What is up?" Leon asked me. I'm debating with myself if I'm going to tell him about the agreement between me and our father or just keep it to myself until he finds out. I looked at Leon and decided not to tell him a thing because he looked exhausted because of working all day.
I sighed not giving any attention to his question. I gulped my beer to have some reason not to answer him. I'm f*****g confused right now. I want my mother's money and her property because that's ours, it's for me and Leon. But I don't want to risk my freedom. If I get any woman pregnant, my bachelor status will come to an end.
I am so f*****g tired of thinking about little bullshits. I do have works needed to be finished but I am not productive as before. Overthinking literally kills your mood.
"In case you didn't notice, I am here and you are here in my place." Leon put another bottle of beer in front of me. Unlike father, the two of us prefer to have some beer for relaxing. Just a siblings things. "Talk to me Ace."
"What do you want to talk about?" I asked while staring at my beer. Still thinking about my father's request. This is getting me preoccupied, a lot.
"I don't know. Why are you here? Any problem? You don't really come here in my penthouse. You always love to hang out at my mansion and manipulate Sonia to cook for you." He shrugged.
I shook my head. I sighed before drinking my beer. At least this bottle of beer can lessen all my stress. I hate interrogations, it makes my head pound.
.
I stared at the glass wall in Leon's living room. The glass walls' view is the whole site of the city. The view is more stunning at night. The whole city not really visible right now because of the fog, I think it will rain any time soon. I don't know why I came here in the first place. I don't want to be anywhere near my father.
I heard Leon sighed. I look at him. He's seating across me and he's staring at the glass wall with a blank expression. "You good?" I asked.
"Crow called me, he asked me about something." He started. He didn't look at me.
"What is it?"
"He's getting married." He said. I smirked. People are still into marriage? I mean they want to ruin their peaceful life?
"Yeah? He released a new wine as well. It tastes lovely." He delivered some to me too. I haven't tasted it yet but for sure, he is right about its taste. Crow never disappoints.
"How's the vineyard? He released a new wine despite being busy with her girl and all ." I put the marriage thing aside. I don't wanna talk about that marriage or anything related anything that can ruin my bachelor status. I just want a break from the manuscript of my stress.
"It is good. Crow earned billions again, so are we." He said and threw me one of his love seat pillow. "And I just said that he released a new wine. Do not repeat my words, idiot."

Weeks have passed but I still didn't have any courage to do what my father asked me to do. I got laid for over the past weeks but I still use protection. I'm such a dumbass, sometimes.
I cannot give up my freedom and my bachelor status. Being a father is not for me.
Father didn't say any time limit. He just told me to take my time. This f*****g mess is giving me a mad headache. I walked towards my beside table to get some Tylenol because my headache is really killing me.
After drinking, I slammed myself to that bed and I let myself stare at ceiling for a very long time. Letting myself get drunk on my own thoughts. Hoping, I will get pregnant someone by just looking at that f*****g ceiling inside my bedroom.
I don't want to have kids. I don't like kids. What the hell is going on my father's mind? He knew that marriage is not listed on my plans. I haven't got into a serious relationship before. I just f**k and go, pretty easy. What the f**k is girlfriend? f**k that. I haven't courted someone before, I don't know what it feels like to love someone. I'm a cold hearted son of a b***h.
I left my bed and I fixed myself. There's nothing I can do. I said yes and I need to get my mother's property and money from my father. That manipulative cunning man is getting into my nerves, I swear to god.
I took a shower, letting the cold water drop on my body. I love the numb feeling the cold water in the morning and night. Still thinking where part of this f*****g world I will find a woman who are willing to get pregnant by me and not complain, no strings attached.
"Sir, what do you want from breakfast?" Rigo asked me when he saw me entered the kitchen.
"Just a coffee and French toast." That's my everyday breakfast but Rigo always ask me what I want for breakfast just to make sure if that's I want to eat for that morning.
"I will serve it right away, Sir." I sat down on the chair and started reading the newspaper. Looking for something that will get my attention away from my worries.
Rigo served my breakfast. The strong aroma of coffee rose to my nose. I helped myself and I sip my coffee letting the bitter taste cover my throat. Relaxing. Coffee really helps to calm my nerves, aside from beer and rum.
After eating my breakfast, I went to work. Hoping I can meet someone who can carry my baby without asking for marriage, just a child support so that I can still live my life the way I wanted.
Yes, I'm a f*****g asshole.
But I will do everything just to keep my freedom. Hell, I cannot deal with kids because for me, they are full of mess. I hate kids because they throw tantrums for nothing. I hate being in relationship because woman tend to ask for anything, they are all needy as f**k and I don't like that.
God! I love being single, f**k whoever I want without thinking that someone will get mad because I f****d another woman.
I arrived to my building and everyone's greeting me. I held my head like a f*****g king, letting them know who is the boss— me. I entered the lift. My secretary greeted me, I just nodded my head. Not really in the mood for some chitchats.
"Mr. Villavicencio is in your office, Sir." She simply said and she back off. Psyche's here? I thought he's not gonna be in town because his wife need him in the Philippines since Maddie's pregnancy is sensitive.
I nodded my head. "Bring us some iced tea and some sweet biscuits." Sweet biscuits to ease my worries.
I entered my office, true to her words, Psyche's waiting inside my office. He's wearing his elegant suit and his posture screams power. He looked like he just got laid earlier this morning by his wife. His eyes landed to me and he smiled, I did the same. Always the smiley one, I see.
"Hey, man." He started.
"Hey there, billionaire. What brings you here?" I joked. He grimaced not happy with my joke. "We are both billionaires, shut the f**k up." I laughed. The Mr. Humble.
Before he talk about something else, my secretary entered the office and served us the iced tea and the biscuits. After she's done serving, she walked outside leaving me and Psyche alone.
"What brings you here? Is it about Crow? Leon told me he's getting married."
"Yeah, he invited me and our friends." He said while chewing the sweet biscuit. "Nothing much. I just came here to give you the sketch you asked me to do." He handed me a rolled paper. I spread it and I saw the interior and exterior design of a vacation house.
"Great. Thanks, Psyche." I said. He just shrugged.
"I want to invite you to Gavin's birthday party. He is turning seven next month. Meaning, you and Leon should fly in the Philippines."
"I'll be there of course. I told you, just migrate here. Roman sun will be very good to your family. " I said. Thinking what meeting or appointment I can cancel on that day so that I can come. I am not missing that child's birthday.
"I am not gonna accept a cheap gift from you, Ace." I chuckled. He's the only one who's calling Ace. Him and our other friends. I'm not really into pet names but I just let them. "And nah, Maddie wants to stay in the Philippines because her friends and family are there. You should migrate, build a mansion next to us."
"My work is in here. Unlike you, Mr. Hotel owner, you can be here anytime because you have your hotel all over Europe. You can have your work space." we chuckled.
After hours of talking, Psyche bid his goodbye after he finish his third batch iced tea.
I planned on building a vacation house in my mother's private island after my father give it to me. Well, after I impregnate someone.
I haven't met someone who can be my baby mommy yet but here I am planning something already.
But I have to think carefully, I need to impregnate someone that will never ever ask for marriage. I need to find someone that will never get jealous when I f****d another woman aside from her. I need someone who will never run after me after she give birth. I need a woman will only ask me for a child support. No strings attached, just hot steamy s*x.
Where the f**k in hell I will find a woman like that? You are f*****g doomed, Wallace Grant, you are f*****g doomed.

To pass the hours not thinking the mess my father made, I decided to go to the mall to find something special for Gavin, Psyche's son. I'm not in to having kids around but, Gavin is an exception. He is my God child and his father is one of the few people I can stand and got my trust.
I chose the instrument store since Gavin can play several music instruments. I started checking the instruments he play. He can play piano, guitar, violin and drums. At first, I wanna buy the piano one but it is too heavy for me. That won't fit to my car.
I purchased the Cremona SV-175 premier student violin. The seller guy told me that it can be used by beginners and more experienced players so I bought it. Gavin is not a beginner but he can use this practice more piece and be better than he is now.
"Your kid will love that, Sir." The woman in the cashier told me. I tried myself not to say no. There's no point of saying no, this is not for my child. The person doesn't know me anyways. I'm maybe a charm to women but not all of them know my name.
Because one way or another, I'm gonna be a father and when that time came, I am so screwed.
