I'm Still Here: Sequel For 'Step Daddy No'

Chapter 79.

"Good luck Michael". Persons told me as they left the estate. I stood at the doorway. I couldn't believed that mom arranged a party. It was two days after Akeilia's baby shower.

I mean, it wasn't like I won yet or anything. Even though I was certain that I would. All my preparations was already set and I was up and ready.

"Thank you". Even though I knew I didn't need it.

I knew I was being cocky but I really didn't.

Alright Michael that was enough.

"Good luck in beating me tomorrow Michael". Trench grinned cockily. I stopped smiling.

"I don't need luck Trench. Tell that to yourself". Without another word, he smirked before he left. I only shook my head. He knew he couldn't beat me.

I walked back further into the room while the bodyguards shut the door. My parent and friends were drinking and talking, but they looked at me with a smile after they noticed my presence. Probably ready to wish me good luck. Nonesense.

I just.. wasn't in a good mood.

However, I already argued with mom about this stupid party. I didn't see the need for it. It was just filled with my associates who boasted about their accomplishments.

I loosened the tie at my neck and looked away from them. I also wasn't in the mood to converse.

"It had been a busy night and it's gonna be a busy day tomorrow. I'm going to sleep". That wiped the smile from their faces. I didn't wanna have a discussion about anything at all. I was tired.

"Son I wanna speak to you just for a little while". I stopped with a sigh.

"Can't it wait till morning?"

"No".

"Goodnight". The others said before they went off to their rooms. My mother, Amelia, Terry, Nathan. Nicole couldn't make it and Wendy was gone wherever with her husband.

I loosed the tie and just left it hanging from my lower neck.

"What's going on between you and Leon? I mean it's obvious something is up". I raised one of my eyebrows. How did any of that concerned him and how did it matter?

"He has a family now father. You don't expect him to be at every event in my life".

"Yes Michael. He's your friend and he's not out of the country. My mansion is big enough. His family can't limit the space here, neither do we have limited space. What's going on Michael? Akeilia and Monique and now you and Leon? And besides I saw what happened at the party. What was that all about?" I don't have time for this.

"I need to check on Akeilia. She's probably up waiting for me or something". I was certain she was sleeping. Akeilia was tired and the babies weighed her down even more. Her tender wound was also an issue.

Monique was a total bitch and such a good friend knowing that Akeilia needed her at the moment and f*cked it up with her jealousy issues.

I didn't expect that from Monique.

"I won't force it. But whatever it is, it is affecting your friendship. Fix it. I do not want any tension between any of you. All of you had been coming from far and believe it or not you guys need each other".

"Father your getting something wrong here. Leon and I had nothing. We're alright. He just couldn't make it and that's it".

"Or maybe he agreed with his wife to avoid both of you". I frowned. And then I thought about it, but I shook it off.
