" But what about that news ? Did you create those rumours ? "
" Rumours ? Wha....Oh, I see. You are asking about the news, right ? I didn't create that James. The media people must have collected the information about our family. And of course the no one would have mentioned anything good about our family. So I assume that the media persons fused them all together and came up with their own story. The story of a middle aged man whose wife ran away behind a billionaire, became heartbroken, started drinking, his neighbours thought he was stupid and useless man. He lost his son and the hope to live in this cruel world. Life had never showed him mercy. But he proved everyone who he is and that's how the story went ", he laughed.
" What kind of bull s**t is this ? "
" What could we son ? And the story isn't that bad isn't it ? "
" Whatever, tell me what you gonna do with her ? "
" As I said earlier, I'm gonna keep her. "

The reporter said that he was killed by the mentally girl in his basement while trying to feed her. He was stabbed with a glass bottle. Not once or twice but twenty four times.
"What ? What the f*** are you saying you empty head ? ", David yelled.
" Yeah, he was dead due to the heavy loss of blood ", said James as he sipped another glass of beer.
David: (* Empties his glass and gasps *) Okay, okay. Let me spell it out and ensure whether I heard everything right. Your father took in a mentally ill girl and kept her under his control.
James: (*Nods*).
" And one day she killed him and ran away ".
" Yeah !".
" And you wanna marry her and keep her in your house ".
(*Smiles*)"Absolutely yes !"
David:(*Jumps on him, grabs his collar and yells *) Are you fuc**** kidding me ?
" No I'm serious, David ", said James as he casually sipped.
