Fate's Whisper

Chapter 2

“Amelia stop glaring he is not here.” She said while flipping her fingers.

“Let’s forget about him and check the menu.” She said, as I was going through the catalogue, I wondered to myself about was just happened back and felt a rage boiling in my chest. I regretted why I did not punch him on face. In this moment of hallucination, I have gone through the booklet over five times like I don’t even know my favourite flavour anymore. When, I regained my mind, I screamed that, “vanilla and caramel” like a child; April just snapped. We order our ice cream and I asked for red velvet cake because, I am kind of obsess about. April just smile when she saw whispering to the waitress as she knew what my next move. Regardless, I try to pretend like I was disturbed by the previous scenario. But seeing the waitress approaching with the order, my mood enlightened up and did blush so hard at the glimpse of the cake. I could not content my excitement anymore and April Bug smirked at me. As we were devouring our sweet treat, we gossiped about our Project Management lecturer, Sir McGwan who mistakenly fell in class last week after announcing his pop quiz which many students claimed that, it was karma; we giggled like bubbling brooks and I instantly felt my heart sang a sigh of relief. When we left the ice-cream shop, my besties dropped me off in school but we had a plan to study at 9pm. I walked straight to the parking lot and drove home.

Though the day was still very young when I reached home, I was exhausted and fatigued that, I did not even shower. I went directly to bed with the hope to get up to do research for another presentation that will due the next day. It was only the loud music from my alarm that made me jump out of the bed and I gravitated to my desk like a magnet. After an hour, I wondered off in my thought and reminisced about my father’s organization for my birthday become suspicious because how can Robert Cameron, accountant in the McCarleton Mining industry pull as a stunt; there must something behind.

The McCarletons own one of the biggest mining firm in the state of Illinois. The rude and arrogant guy, Asher McCarleton is son of the famous Alexander McCarleton. He is a social bird who likes drinking, partying and women but has a phobia for business. And with his father’s money, he thinks he has everyone wrapped around his fingertips. Asher has his cycle of spoil brats like him who also think weekends are meant for parties. They plan to organize a yacht party this weekend as usual at the McCarleton private beach, Leone Beach.

“Man, we need some hot chics to flame up the Rave” Dave said

“Worry not buddy, I got it cover” responded Asher with so much confidence like he owns a brothel. He exits the room to make some few calls. And after what felt like forever, he came back and informed his friends that he has sorted out everything.

“Hey Asher who are this beautiful ladies” Dave asked with a smirk.

“Oh they are our guests, the party started” he answered, and everything just escalated onward to something very crazy. Everybody was paired and soon after, they left the party for different locations with the girls. While Asher drove home with two of the girls and they had a crazy threesome. At nine am, with the morning the sun light reflecting directly inside the beautiful house, there he screams,

“Asher McCarleton Jersey” Mr McCarleton shouts and Asher jumps out of the couch in confusion like a mad dog.

“Follow me to my office now young man” he said with an angry voice.

I am death dad hates when I organise parties in the house because of the damages it cost. I turn to the sectary.

“Why didn’t you call me?” I asked while looking at him.

“Asher look at your phone” he said while I was looking at my phone. There were eleven missed calls and he knew he was death, he turned to the girls and gave them a thousand dollars and told them to leave and entered his dad’s office who was waiting for him with a death stir.

“Asher how many time have I warn you not to organise parties in my house” he said while loosening his tie.

“You have other places to organise these parties but you won’t listen” he said while looking at Asher. “Ever since your mother left us you changed completely, what is wrong with you?” he said in frustration.

“Firstly Dad, I did not hold the party here in the house. This was just an after party hangout. And secondly, why are you complaining when you never had time for us always working and mum suffered alone” he replied. I looked at dad with anger when I remember how mum was sick and he could not leave his company, he never had time for us so when I was five mum divorced him and left me with this ruthless man who had no time for me.

“Asher I asked you to settle down but you refused, I organise blind dates for you but you did not go” he said while looking at Asher. “Where is the latest porches car I gave you for your birthday?” he said while looking at a paper work.

“Dad I gave it to my ex-girlfriend as a reward for cheating her” he said and his dad froze in shock.

When growing up mum told me to be possessive, persistent and always get what I want no matter how I get it, when I am done I should drop it and move to the next stage. Which has always been my rule I don’t stick to things for long. I like new things and new challenges.

“You know what I will freeze all your accounts limit all your transaction to your salary” he said with an angry voice.

“Dad it has not come to this please forgive me I will do anything you want”.

Dad was silent and he said “you will get married” he said while looking at Asher.

“You have to treat her well and prove to me that you are responsible”.

“Ok dad I will do as you say but don’t freeze my account” I said while looking at him.

“Ok Asher clean my house before leaving” he said while dismissing me.

I Alexander McCarleton, started my company when I had nothing, I got married to my childhood friend who loved money more than anything. When she had Asher she changed completely. She was never satisfied with what I gave her. I had to sacrifice the time I had to spend with Asher to think more on my business. I had no investor and my savings dropped. My wife left me, I was depressed I left Asher to the nanny and berried myself in my work. And time passed I was successful but I did not have time with Asher. So I gave him everything and anything he wants and our relationship is always cold. My company is everything I have and I won’t leave anybody to destroy it.

“Sir we have a problem the figures in the sale department are not compatible” the sectary said.

“What do you mean by it is not compatible” he asked while looking at his sectary.

“We investigated and notice five million was missing from the sales account” he replied.

“Who was in charge of that money” I asked with an angry face.

“It is Rey Cameron” he replied.

“Bring him in know” I said with an angry voice.

Rey Cameron entered the office

“Good morning sir” he said

“How may I help sir” he asked with curiosity

“Rey you steal my money to settle your gamblers and you think I will not find out” I said when Rey was shocked.

“It is not the first time you are doing this, you are going to pay for this” I said.

“Sir please have mercy I will give you everything even my daughter as compassion” he said.

“Ok your daughter will marry my son to pay the debt”. I said and Rey agreed and left the office.
