"Asher please could you excuse us", I said. He nodded and left.

"What the f**k do you mean dad has Cancer?".

He sat down.

"I went to meet our doctor today, for my wife's pregnancy stuffs ".

"Well that's a first ", I mumbled.

"Sebastian focus, I went to meet him today and I was just going through our family files and I saw Dad's, I was in his office alone, cuz he left them on his table while he attended to Camille. I saw Dad's and I opened it, I even took pictures of it ", he said showing me his phone.

"Dad has Leukemia, the real reason he's not visited the company in months is not because he wants us to handle things on our own, it's because he's been in Chemotherapy in and out of it.i confronted the doctor about it and he kept on apologizing and begging me not to tell my father because it was supposed to be a secret.

Dad's dying, that's why he wants to see everything in order before he does, the doctor said he'll stop chemo once he sees things in order".

I sat on my chair shocked.

Yes we both hate that man,he ruined our lives but he's still our father.

"Wait, how long has this been going on?", I asked.

"9 months now, the very moment they forced you to go into that relationship with Veronica. I don't think mom knows but I think she's got the idea of what was happening. ".

"f**k", I said raking my hair.

"Why am I telling you this? so you can fucken end that bullshit relationship with that woman you definitely just paid to act like your fiancee", he said

"Rebecca? you're talking nonsense".

"Dude fucken listen to me for once in your life man, you're not ready for this, you're not ready to settle down, and lying to Dad about this as he's dying is even worse. f**k if you die today, you don't have a fucken heir, I do."

I looked at him, "Anthony, if I die today you won't take over, your child would. Not you".

"And for goodness sake give me reason why not?".

"Because you're filled with fucken scandals. f**k you think Dad's been crazy when he's insisting I do it? Anthony you're filled with Scandal.

Incase you've forgotten, you have a court trial in a month for s****l assault, two fucken cases of s****l assault. You've slept with half of the women here, the part we asked you to run and manage is crashing, you haven't come up with anything productive to add to this company. Dad is right, if you want it earn it. Show me something damn serious that you've done or will do and I might as well even give the company to you. But no you haven't."

He chuckled, "You think you're so perfect don't you? the perfect son with no flaw, one day you will f**k up so bad, and trust me you won't get away with this one ", he said.

I swallowed hard.

"I'm not saying I'm perfect Anthony, I'm not, I'm way more flawed than you could ever imagine, but one thing for sure, I can package my bullshit and no one will figure it out ".

"Oh so you're a fucken hippocrate right? that's what you are, you're fake, you're not even real".

"No I am real, I'm not fake, but I'm damn well good at not letting things get into my head and I know how to run this company. Go and prove yourself Anthony, that's all I'm saying ".

"You just fucken love competitions don't you ".

"This is not a fucken competition Anthony, it's me telling you to challenge yourself".

"f**k you ", he said and left my office and banged my door.

I placed my head on my table and sighed.

Dad has Cancer

My brother wants the company

I can't stop thinking about my bodyguard

I can't be with him

My life is a fucken rollercoaster ride.

My Secretary got into my office.

"Sir, you have a meeting now, the driver is all ready ", he said.

I took my head up, "Cancel it, and get me a bottle of Hennessy, two bottles ", I said.

"Excuse me sir?".

"Did I fucken stutter?".

"Sir it's just, drinking isn't allowed at work and -"

"Call me Asher", I said immediately since he was wasting time.

Asher came in seconds later, "Sir?".

"Get me two bottles of Hennessy ", I ordered.

He looked at me, shocked.

"Sir uhm... here or at home?".

"Now".

He looked at my secretary and then back at Me.

"Yes sir", he said and left.

"And About the meeting sir?".

"Raphael, is something wrong with your ears? I said fucken cancel!!", I yelled.

"But sir they're -"

"If you say another word, you will go home and never come back ".

I swallowed hard and then closed the door.

I took off my suit and tie and went out to the window to calm myself down.

My dad has Cancer, he wants me to settle down before he dies, I can't do that because if I tell him I want to settle down with a man I'll probably kill him before the cancer does.

If I loose this company I've lost everything.

Anthony wants it as bad as I do but he can't handle this. He doesn't know the stress I go through everyday.

He doesn't.

He thinks it's just the money, but It's not.

I haven't slept for a solid 3 hours for the best 5 days.

He can't handle this, he can't.

My door opened this time and Asher came in with Timothy.

"Where's the drink I asked for?", I asked.

"Luckily, I met him before he got it", Timothy said.

"Man I don't want to hear any bullshit lecture, I want to fucken drink and work".

"Sure of course, let's go do that, skip work today come back tomorrow, Raphael will take care of everything. I don't want people to see you fucken crash out here".

I sighed.

"Fine ", I mumbled and picked up my phone and walked out of the office.

"Don't worry Asher I'll take it from here", Timothy said and joined me.

Thank God he did, I definitely do not want to be around Asher right now.
