Graham:
“You should be ashamed of yourself,” my father grunted.
Once again, I felt the pressure on my head as he hit me with a file in his hand.
I had come straight home and found my father at the door. It seemed like Lord William had called almost everyone to spread gossip.
For an old man to act like this, I was truly disappointed in him.
If anything, he should have kept it to himself and spoken to us in private, telling us what we had done wrong or that there was an issue.
Instead, he chose to turn it into gossip and almost called everyone to talk about it.
“He is lying. I did no such thing. Do you seriously think I would go there to touch and be intimate with a woman I rejected? You don’t understand. Lord William never really liked me. His favorite was Baxter, and when he saw Baxter on the ground, he lost it.”
I complained, and that was when my father’s hand struck my face, making my head turn as I tried to clear the stars from my vision.
It felt like he had used all his strength to hit me.
“As if I don’t know you. I already warned you two idiots not to do anything stupid. Is this really the kind of monster I raised? Why would you even think about being intimate with someone else’s wife?” my father grunted, his fists clenching.
“I am disappointed,” he added.
“Father, I did no such thing. I did not even touch Madeline,” I tried to explain, lying once again.
“You said you were going to the cabin to ask her for the cure. Did you?” my father demanded, turning to face me again, his hands on his waist.
Thankfully, we were in his office. Otherwise, Kaylee would have heard everything, and it would have turned into another disaster.
“I did. That is exactly how the whole chaos started. We went there and asked Madeline about the cure, but instead of responding, her husband started to attack us, saying we were bothering them at the wrong time. He could have just asked us to leave, and we would have,” I tried to explain, watching my father start to chuckle.
“Well, you really take me for a fool, Graham. You don’t go with a group of warriors to ask nicely or interrogate someone politely,” my father hissed.
“Now you better hope it is true that you did not lay a hand on that woman. Because, Graham, I will allow stealing lands, taking packs, or even taking your own child by force, but I will not stand by you for being a disgraceful person like that,” my father warned, leaning toward me with his finger pointed at my face.
“Well, then you will regret even striking me once when the truth comes out,” I snapped, getting up from the chair and walking out of his office.
