"Thank you, Rose,"
I said as our car stopped at her parent's mansion, yes, I came back to her house, it was better than going back to mine, if I go back home, I might spend all day locked up in my room thinking about what happened today and I didn't want to do that, my phone rang as we got out of the car, it was a number that I didn't have saved and I was skeptical about picking up but I'm the end I did.
"Hello? Who is this?"
I asked.
"Ma'am, my name is Thomas, your dad told me to tell you that he wants to see you right now,"
The person at the other end of the phone said and I moved the phone from my ear to check the number.
"Are you sure you got the right person?"
I asked. Why would my dad want to see me when he ignored me just yesterday?
"Yes, Arielyn Barrie, Embry,"
He called out my full name.
"Who are you?"
I asked. Whoever he is must know me because only a few people knew my middle name.
"I am your dad's personal assistant, we haven't met before because I started working for him recently and he wants you at home,"
He said and I was tempted to tell him to tell my father to go fuck himself, as I knew that would get me in trouble and probably make me miss my best friend's wedding, I kept the shit down.
"Tell my dad I will be there soon,"
I said and saw Rose look at me with questioning eyes.
"Alright thank you,"
The guy said and the call ended.
"What does he want?"
Rose asked as soon as I dropped the call.
"He wants to see me,"
I answered.
"For what? I thought he didn't want to talk to you. Was it, not yesterday that he ignored you?"
She asked.
"Yeah, but I have to go see him and know what he wants from me, I will be back before you know it,"
I responded.
"You are coming back here?"
"Of course, I decided to be with you through everything, your mom doesn't hate me after all,"
I responded. If my dad hadn't requested to see me, I would have gone by the mansion tomorrow to get my stuff, but now that he called, I decided I would use the opportunity and move my stuff from the house.
"Alright then,"
Rose said coming to hug me, I let out a sigh wondering what the old man wants to talk to me about.
"Hey? Are you okay? Do you want me to come with you?"
Rose asked but I refused, I didn't want to drag her into a messy situation with me, my dad can be very evil and I didn't want Rose to be at the receiving end of it.
"I am fine and I will go talk to him myself, it is a miracle that he wants to see me in the first place,"
I said hugging her.
"Call me if you need anything, and I will come get you, don't let whatever he says get to you Arielyn, you are the best and no one can change that,"
She responded hugging me tighter.
"I will keep that in mind, I love you,"
I said as I got into the car again, this time I was headed back to my father's mansion, yesterday I had gone to greet him but he didn't acknowledge me and suddenly today, he wants to see me, whatever it was that he wants to say to me, I hope it had no relationship to what happened earlier, but I knew it would be related to it.
Rose's driver dropped me off at my father's house and I thanked him before walking towards the main house, I didn't bother asking anyone where my father was because I already knew where he would be, I just walked straight to his chamber same places I went to yesterday and he didn't say a word to me, I knocked once at the door and opened it.
"Dad, you asked to see me,"
I said when I walked into his chamber, he was seated in the same place he had been seated when I came in yesterday, only that today he was strolling through his phone, he spared me a glance and went back to strolling through his phone, I bite back the words I wanted to say and stood there waiting for him to say something while counting the minutes in my head, I concluded that if he doesn't say a word to me in the next five minutes, I would give him a piece of my mind and walk out of this house forever, I would never return, not even when he dies.
"You came in yesterday and you are already in the news? And for the wrong reasons.
He said in his usual authoritative voice, well, how did I forget that this is a time when technology was at its peak? Of course, someone recorded what happened, not that I cared. I wasn't fazed by my father's voice neither was I fazed by what he said, he looked at me like he was waiting for me to say something, but it was my turn to be quiet because I didn't say a word, just stood there watching him.
"Aren't you going to say something?"
He asked after a while, dropping his phone.
"I have nothing to say, Dad if that's the reason you called for me and finally spoke to me after eight long years of silence, let me tell you that I don't regret what I did and I would do it again a thousand time,"
I let out.
