It was 6 o'clock now and I rushed to Gerald's office after taking a shower and changing into casual clothes.
" May I come in?" I asked.
" Yes," he replied.
" How can I help you, Lily?"
" I need to meet with my dad," I started.
" I know I may sound weird but I kind of need to check upon him. I am afraid he might die alone somewhere dark and damp." I continued.
" What a good kid you are, Lily. You may go, my men would accompany you as always. God may bless you, take care."
I nodded in agreement, as I took my leave, stepping into the car I recalled the reason why I did not ask him to sign the contract of my freedom earlier. I was afraid that an issue would arise from my demand and he would lock me up, I guess I already lost my trust in him. I wanted to know some facts before I start taking action.
The driver announced that we have reached our destination; I stepped out of the car and made sure that I wasn't being followed by Shawn or anyone else. I still had our small house's key, I didn't throw it away in case I needed it in the future and I did.
I opened the door and spotted my dad, Anderson watching TV. It was one of the few times where he is actually sober.
" Why did you come back?" he asked coldly not raising his eyes from the TV.
" I had some questions to ask you?"
" I have nothing to tell you. I thought you would be living hell but it seems that your life turned out better unlike what I expected. You are just as dirty as your mother... What have you done to seduce that man? You fuckin slut." he spat out with his eyes still fixed on the TV.
" As far as I recall, it was you who cheated on mom ignoring her presence, you are the only slut here." I retorted.
He stood up abruptly now as he glared my way.
" What do you fuckin know? She is the one who cheated on me first; she is the one who spread her leg for filthy money."
" What do you mean?"
" You are not my fuckin daughter. You are a freakin cursed child who isn't mine." he continued.
