Alex POV

Morrison's Estate

As soon as my car came into view with the installed camera in front of the tall exquisitely done ironworks gate, it opened.

I pulled in and drive along the curvy concrete driveway glancing once in a while over the well-maintained lawn with a green lushly grass spreads around the endless estate.

The scattered landscape lamp post was lit, reflecting the beautiful serene place in the night.

My Dad called me this morning to see him tonight. I don't know what is it about, but the urgency in his voice says something important. My dad never talked to me coldly.

I knew every person feared him. They call him the 'Devil Businessman'. He never smiles, he never tolerates mistakes even if it's just a slightly one. He always said, if I tolerated just a bit mistake, then I wouldn't be in my shoes right now.

Nobody can bend him except me and my mom. My Dad adored me and gave me everything I want. He was a good father in spite of his cold nature.

Even though I took seven years in high school he didn't say anything. It's not that I'm stupid or small brained kid. It's just that I'm just enjoying my life at the Morrison High and to be honest, not ready to take University and managing our business was far from my priority, just yet.

At 19, I'm still young.

I pulled over the front big porch. Two white tall pillars with two lions facing each other made with concrete, sitting just before the tall pillars.

Our valet approached me and smiled stiffly as I stepped out of my black Audi R8. I threw him my keys and jogged into the house. I was greeted by Rosa. Daughter of our steward and our Butler. Rosa was two years younger than me. We were childhood friends in spite of the differences in our status.

"Your parents are waiting for you at the dining room, Alex," She announced as she smiled fondly to me.

"Thanks, Ro." I smiled as I nod in approval, then headed to the dining room.

As soon as I entered the big dining room I saw my mom sitting on the right side of my father. Dad seated in the middle.

"Come and sit across your mom, hijo." Dad smiled briefly. I occupied the chair on his left facing my mom.

Her eyes were full of sorry. I looked away. Her sorry won't heal the brokenness I have felt. She ruined this family. I don't know why she's still here. And, I don't understand why dad lets her come near us after what she did.

My heart clenched for my dad. He has been so strong for us even though I knew deep within, he's crushing. Nobody knew what's going on with our family.

If the paparazzi will find out that my parents weren't sleeping in the same room and they were just civil with each other in reality, it will be the talk of whole Barcelona.

My dad loves my mom so much that it breaks my heart to see him suffering from my mom's infidelity and he still cares for her!

If looks could kill she would be dead by now!
