Nasty Stunt 2
I looked into Conrad's eyes and I couldn't even move a muscle after he assured me everything would be fine, i was still pissed but for some reason, I found myself looking so calm like I had been compelled to.
"Go home, I have a meeting to attend to, everything will be fine as usual" Conrad spoke again, this time, his words as straight as an arrow. I left him without a word but as I got to the elevator, I turned back to see him smiling like nothing was wrong, his mood was as calm as ever while I waged an unhealthy storm within myself. I sighed on getting to the reception which remained calm with all eyes on me, I could see the receptionist who had her glare on my face like a demon locking on to her prey.
"I'm certain you got what you wanted" Her annoying voice cut through my calm facade, I turned to her, our eyes locking on to each other as I approached slowly with a smirk on my face.
"Dare to speak to me without respect again and I won't blink an eye when I ruin your career" I threatened, my heart was filled with rage, I wasn't myself for sure, she didn't dare to speak after my threat as her lips were glued shut. I exited the building and went straight for my ride, as we left the premises, I couldn't help but go back online to see what had become of me, I bowed my head in utter regret and pain as I watched people curse my name so cheaply.
I held my phone so tightly in anger and sighed in defeat, I caught my Chauffeur's eyes in the rear mirror as he stared silently, Conrad was definitely up to something, I could feel it.
"Where's my son?" I asked at once.
My Chauffeur pretended not to have heard my question as he quickly looked away, stylishly increasing the volume of the music.
"Where's my son!" I asked again, my tone louder this time around.
"He's having fun at the moment, my colleague will ensure he's back home safely"
"I want to see him" I ordered and I could feel his uneasiness as he looked at my eyes again.
"I have been instructed to take you home Mrs..."
"Enough of this madness, what's going on!" I screamed at him, I was slowly losing my cool, and my heart pounded faster. Something fishy was going on, I could feel in right in my veins and there's no way in hell I would sit and watch this go on.
"Ma'am, I'm just following orders..."
"Take me to my son right now, that's an order you should follow now!"
He swallowed hard as he slowly stepped on the gas, I could see his every move, he's hiding something or preventing me from knowing some hidden activity is going on.
"Are you mad?" I cursed in anger, he looked at the rear mirror one last time and he noticed I meant business, his deceitful tricks couldn't help him for long.
"As you wish Ma'am" he revealed as he turned the vehicle around.
In an hour, I got to see my son and to my surprise, he dashed towards me the very minute he saw my face, I was left speechless as he did this.
"Where have you been Mom?" his tender voice asked.
I went back to the video to confirm if it was my boy who uttered such words of hatred, it was him but I definitely had a hard time comprehending any of this.
"Why do you hate me?" I asked at once, and he looked so confused at first as he kept staring at me for some minutes while his friends walked past us.
"Michael, why do you hate your mother?, Did I do anything wrong?" I asked again.
In that moment, I quickly spotted a woman trying to capture what would be another trending video, I threw my purse at her and walked to her in anger when my bodyguard stopped me.
"Ma'am, I think it's time to go!" his voice stopped me at once.
I held Michael by the hand and dragged him to the car, I could barely look at his face as anger clouded mine.
"I don't hate you, It was just a game, I was dared to say "I hate my mom and I love my dad" and if I don't, I will have to kiss Jenny, I don't like that girl" Michael revealed as he touched my hand.
"So you don't hate me?" I asked, confirming his words.
"I don't, I love you with all my heart" he confessed.
I hugged him at once, I checked the video one more time, and realized it all made sense, my boy didn't seem sad or hateful, he said those words with a smile. I felt so relieved on hearing him confirm his words of affection.
"I love you too," I said before pressing a kiss on his forehead.
"I told you he was fine Ma'am, kids can be naive but everything turns out to be fine in the end" The Chauffeur added.
"Take us home" I replied.
I held Michael's hand but even with his assurance, I still felt uneasy, perhaps Conrad was right, these were nothing but rumors. Michael dashed towards the entrance of the hotel as we arrived, I looked at him from behind and all I could think about were memories of my late dad who would have been a great-grandfather.
"Mom, come on, I need a shower!" Michael screamed as he got to the entrance, his face contorted with joy.
"I'm coming" I replied with a faint smile but before I could take another step, my phone buzzed, it was a call from Conrad.
"Why did you take Michael?" he asked with a raised tone that blew me off course.
"And can't I be with my son anytime I want?" I asked
"He's my son..."
"And he's my son too!, Do you have a problem with that?"
"I told you everything was fine and yet you still do whatever suits you, this will all be over soon!" he threatened and hung up immediately, leaving me speechless.
