Chapter 29

Jacob's p.o.v

"Good, I've heard some things I'd like you to deny" my father rumbles and walks away with his heavy footsteps echoing through the house.

"O-okay" I respond without questioning the matter. I don't want to make him more frustrated than he already is so I silently follow him into his office.

"Sit" he points towards an empty seat in front of his desk and I cluelessly ogle my nanny and my mother who are already standing in the room with their heads down making me wonder what exactly is going on. The remorseful impression on miss Alyssa's face answers my question right away and I gulp in despair before taking a seat.

Something is definitely wrong...

My father on the other hand doesn't sit, he leans against his desk right in front of me and crosses his arms over his chest. I slowly crumble away by the pressure of six pairs of eyes penetrating every part of my body and I close my eyes with my head down.

My parent's attention is something I've always longed for, but never this type and it's extremely spine-chilling how they're just staring at me without uttering a word. I open my eyes to see if they're still looking and quickly close them when I realize that their gazes are sharper than before.

"Your school called" I suddenly hear and the words make all the hairs on my body straighten. My father finally spoke.

"I'm sorry. I-I skipped s-school last week, but I swear that I'll try to get all the work I've missed. There's t-this girl in m-my class that's very nice and I'll do my best to get some help from her to catch up and close the gap. It's not as if the gap will do any harm, but fath- sir, I'll do everything to get all the work" word after word come spilling out of my mouth like a broken faucet. I even dig my nail into my palm to suppress tears and force myself to look my father in the eyes.

"Yes he will and I'll make sure of it, sir. I'll personally drop him off at school every morning to avoid skipping again" Miss Alyssa chimes in with her hands pressed together on the verge of going on her knees and my father lifts his hand up to silence her.

"You have no idea of what I'm talking about, do you" he laughs evilly staring daggers at my nanny, "always there to take the blame and lie to get this useless kid out of trouble. Is he yours?"

"N-no sir" miss Alyssa replies and flinches when he rapidly makes his way in front of her.

"Then shut up and mind your business. I hired you to cook and clean, not to be my son's mother" he spits and seizes a strong hold of her chin to forcefully pull her head up, "don't try to safe this worthless son of a bitch that I'm ashamed to call my son.....when you couldn't even safe your own" he says the last part through gritted teeth and lets her go by pushing her back.

The sight of that makes me quickly get up on my feet and my father turns towards me. I hopelessly watch miss Alyssa slide against the wall with her hand on her stomach and a helpless expression on her face. My father has hurt her mentally.

"What do you think you're doing?" he vigorously pulls me back by my scrawny hand when I try to reach for my nanny, "I'm not done with you, sit down. You've disappointed your mother and I enough. It stops today" he declares and pushes me unto the chair.

My mother just stands there looking at everything that's going on in the room without uttering one word, my own mother.

"...mommy?" I mutter like I always did when I was a kid. Her presence always made me excited and jumpy, but somehow, I loved my nanny more and I questioned my feelings. Now I know why I loved miss Alyssa more, because she sacrifices everything just to safe me at the end of the day.
