Chapter 11 - A fresh beginning - Nil Distaunce

Nil’s POV

A warm shower is the best in the morning.

It is the most effective medicine to relieve stress, hangover, and to recall the happy moment that made you grin the whole night long.

Though, I can’t erase the smile on my face not because of the bath that I’m taking but due to the meal that I spent with the woman that I’ve been thinking about for a while now.

The sound of her laughter while sitting comfortably in our dining room lightens the gloomy atmosphere that was originally there. I could see myself sitting here with her forever just listening to her funny stories and looking at her lovely smile.

We really did nothing but eat the instant ramen that I cook and the cake I bought while exchanging old jokes with each other. She even went home before midnight without any fuss. I did not expect it at all but that is the most satisfying night that I have ever spent with a woman while we are both wearing our clothes. I can’t explain why but something seems so warm that night that keeps me from smiling and laughing like a grade school boy.

I want more and more of her. I can’t deny it anymore. My mind is filled with only her images and voice. The very thought of having her here beside me made me jump with joy. Even I can’t understand how I reached the conclusion that I am already smitten with her but fighting it will only give me a headache so I’m giving up now ahead of time.

Another one-night stand with Victoria is no longer an option. I want her to be part of my everyday life and I don’t mind courting her one step at a time. Messing up only means that it will be game over between the two of us so I will take my sweet time to woo her to my side. I know I'm young but it doesn't mean that these are just childish delusions on my part.

Well, I need to keep it aside for now and face reality.

I did not lie to Victoria when I said that I am celebrating last night. Today will be the last day that the surname Sanders will be associated with me and it is an event that is worth celebrating. My father wants me out of the family registry and there is no better idea than that.

I am fully aware that he is only keeping me since he wants a male heir, but since his new wife gave birth to a baby boy then it only means that I am no longer needed in his house and family. Being with him has never been a good deal so I won't even feel sad or mad with his decision.

Well, I don’t have to thank him for anything since the money that was used to raise came from the child support that my mother is sending. That man, my father, is nothing but an asshole who sucks all the life force that my biological have. He is nothing but a leech in a human form.

The man won’t spend a dime even for his own child if he believes that nothing will be gained from doing so. Well, I’m more than thankful that is his way of life since I won’t be having any second thoughts about forgetting our relationship. I owe him nothing and that fact itself is a miracle for me.

* * *

My father, and soon-to-be another stranger, is already sitting comfortably inside the room that we reserved in a restaurant. His former mistress and now wife is also in the room waiting for the young man that he cared for the last ten years.

They must be here for a while now since there are already empty plates on the table. I wonder if I need to eat with them if I arrived even a minute earlier. The pharmacy will most likely be my next destination right after our discussion because of severe indigestion.

“You are late.”

The stern voice of my father welcomed me when I sat down in front of them. He is already in his fifties but his virility is still overflowing within him. It is disgusting to say but this man really is worth more than he looks. There is no denying that my stepmother was captured by this man’s chiseled body and financial status.

Though I won hands up in the pretty boy department and that made my stepmother, who is only ten years older than me, commit another act of a******y. The funny fact is my father is not aware of the w***e that this woman is hiding from him. He believes that she is the embodiment of pureness and grace. They are such a perfect pair of losers.

What a pitiful bastard. He is being made a fool by the woman she chose and he did not even have a single clue. I could drop the truth like a bomb but I chose to keep it to myself as my petty form of revenge. After all, nothing is more painful when you woke up yourself to the dream that you are enjoying. I would like him to have fun as much as he wants since I believe that karma will strike him back when it hurts the most.

Well, I will always be doubtful if I were him since this woman opened her legs wide even though she was fully aware that my father is a married man. I don’t know if this man is stupid or what but even a child will know that a woman twenty years his junior only wants one thing from a rich company owner.

I don’t even have to spell it for the entirety of the world to figure it out.

“Check the time. I’m not late, father. Or, should I start calling you Rick?”

I emphasized the last word to annoy the old man sitting in front of me, but he just smirked at my taunting. I rarely see him in a good mood and this day must be one of the best ones for him. The reason of course is the burden called the eldest child that will be gone from him forever.

“You will drop that cocky attitude after we've finalized today’s agenda. I am only tolerating that rudeness since you are my son but that will be over this morning. Now, sign this as soon as possible so we could go our separate ways. Be sure that you will read everything. I don’t want to see you again demanding from me for any stupid rights that you think you have.”

I never demanded anything from you old man and I won’t ever do it in the future either.

I hurriedly start reading the papers in front of me while the two are just sitting silently. I smile as I read the contents that I’ll be forfeiting my rights to my father’s wealth. The other document is for voluntary deleting my name from the family registry of the Sanders. They must be so scared that the eldest child will take over the company and ruin everything that they built. They are really nothing but a bunch of lunatics.

The agreements are already signed by the old man and this w***e so only mine is needed to finalize it. They must be so excited to push me out of their lives.

Ring..Ring..Ring

“I need to answer this.”

I’m already halfway through when the old man’s phone rings. It must be a business matter since he excused himself from us. Well, he is not a respectable father but I can't deny that he is a great businessman.

My focus is on the documents when I felt something running through my thighs the moment the door closed. The woman in front of me is now smiling ears to ears while playing with her hair. The cat is out so the rat is now here to play, and this big rat is an animal in heat.

“Hey, son. I’ve been so lonely without you in our house. But, you know what? Since you will no longer be my son then I think we can play more than ever. You know how to reach me, right? I know it's hard to survive with the measly income of your mother so just let me know if you need an allowance, okay? I want us to stay close forever. I can never forget the happy moments that we had in the past.”

Damn w***e. I haven’t forgotten how you took my first time disguising it as your motherly love for me. This disgusting woman is nothing but a s*x craze maniac who r***s a helpless young man to satisfy her lust.

It is more disgusting to think that she and Victoria are almost the same age. That is the only comparison that could be made between them since my sweet neighbor is a million times better than this husband thief.

She is totally way out of her league.

“No, thanks. I was never interested, and you stink so much that I want to throw up every single time you go near me. Your makeup is also thick and I’m afraid that it will cause an allergic reaction to my delicate body if I accidentally touched you a little.”

My stepmother’s face crumpled as she listens to my batterings. I’ve been obedient to her all this time since my father will always hit me whenever she will cry with fake tears and point at me as the culprit. An actress and a w***e in one, that is what this woman is.

“You ungrateful child. Do you know that I can scream right now and tell the first person who will open the door that you are assaulting me? Your father will surely send you to jail without any second thought.”

“Go on, whore.”

The b***h’s eyes widened and her face became as red as her lips as she look at me. She then put her bag on top of the table and unbutton her dress. She ruffled her hair and moved to my side and pushed me down the floor making me drop on top of her.

“Help…help…please help”

I see. This is the same old trick that has been upgraded to adult version 2.0.

The door opened and my father instantly kicked me in the face. He must be furious to see that her beloved wife is being pinned down by another man, and worst since it was his son. I could see smoke coming out of his ears as he look at me with those blood-shot eyes.

“I will send you to jail! You ungrateful mongrel is really nothing but a devil child. How dare you do that to the woman who raised you for ten years? I will make sure that you will rot behind those prison bars.”

“Okay. Go on, but before that…how about you check the camera recordings first…”

My finger points to the CCTV camera in the corner of the room. My stepmother did not notice it since it was positioned on the wall that I’m facing.

“... I did not touch your w***e wife. She touched me. Those are two different things. Come on. Ask the manager of this place to check it for you.”

My stepmother trembled as she look at me and my father. She knew she messed big time right at this moment. Well, she deserved it but what I want to know now is how will this man react after he saw the stupidity of her lovely wife. Those ten years that I suffered could be given justice now and I want to smack my head for not realizing that this woman is a no-brainer at all.

I called the manager myself since the two are just standing like broken statues. It did not take much convincing when I explained to him the play that was cooked by my stepmother and he just looked at me with pitiful eyes as if asking if our family is for real.

We are pitiful, yes, I am fully aware of that.

My father silently follow the manager to the operations room while my stepmother is silently begging him to just ignore it and be done with the real reason that they visited this place. I smile victoriously as I watch the two look paler and paler as the true happenings of that time rewind.

“Stop now.”

That man’s stoic face is now mad like crazy and the only thing that is holding his madness is his clenched hands.

“Honey. I just want to teach him a lesson for being so ungrateful to us. There is really nothing more than this. I swear! Please look at me.”

My ex-father ignored my now ex-stepmother’s pleading as he look at me. I could see nothing but anger in his eyes.

“Are you done with the papers?”

“Yes, Rick. So since we are no longer related now and it looks like you will not be sending me to any jail so I need to say my goodbyes. I hope that we will not see each other again, Rick and Lane. Goodbye and have fun with your life. f**k a lot!”

I did not wait for his answer and hurriedly turned my back to them. All I could think about is the happiness that I’m feeling for being free right now.

Nil Distaunce - this is the name that I will be using from now on. That man and woman are no longer part of my life and I’m more than happy to announce it to everyone. Whatever the two will do after today’s happenings is already up to them.

No one can bother me from now on.
