The Stranger Behind My Orgasm novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153: NOW THAT YOU ARE NO LONGER A MOMMY PLEASER

Finnegan

The memorial room suddenly felt even smaller with just the two of us in it. Everyone had left, just Mother and I standing in the room while Devin’s photograph watched from the wall.

"Angel is becoming unmanageable," she scoffed, staring at her precious son’s picture.

"That whole display was disrespectful and embarrassing. You indulge her too much."

I bit back the retort building in my head. The anger that I had been managing to keep down spiked at the way she spoke about my daughter.

"What did you actually want to say? I have things to do."

Her eyes tore off Devin’s picture to look at me, a glimmer of surprise in them. She cleared her throat then and continued.

"End the merger with Dorian company. We don’t need his company to promote the cars Wolfe manufactures, and the merger won’t benefit us in the way you think it will. I want you to scrap it."

The nerve of her to ask me that after she tried to ruin my fucking life. How could she even look at me?

How could she order me around after setting me up to take the fall? Christ, was I really, really that indispensable to her?

My fists clenched tightly, my nails digging into my skin, and in a low, furious voice, I replied. "No,"

Mother blinked, her brows raised in amusement. "I beg your pardon? What do you mean, No?"

"The Dorian merger is my decision," I cleared my throat, adjusting my suit jacket.

It felt fucking unnerving having to refuse Mother, but at this rate, it had to be done. "I decide if it benefits the company or not."

"What do you know?" Her lips tightened as she turned to face me fully. "Have you even considered the complications?"

"It is my decision either way."

She scoffed dismissively and reached for her bag. "Whatever, when you’re done throwing a tantrum, send me the contract when you’ve dissolved it. I’ll want to review the terms-"

"I won’t be sending you anything." I spat out to keep the lid on my anger anymore.

Why did she never take me seriously? If she thought this was going to be like all the rest of my life, where all I wanted to do was measure up to her precious Devin, then she was wrong.

That was over. I was done! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"The merger stands. And Mother-" I waited until she looked at me properly.

"Keep your distance from the company. Only attend the Board meetings that require your presence."

"Everything else, the decorators, the interviews you schedule on my behalf, the conversations you have with my legal team without my knowledge, all of that stops now."

Mother let out a peal of laughter, her eyes narrowing in disbelief, then widening as if she couldn’t process what was happening.

"After everything I have sacrificed," She hissed. "I should have known this would happen,"

Stop talking like you weren’t going to sacrifice me! I wanted to bellow, but that would be a fucking slip-up.
