Yes Daddy (by Red Inkling) novel Chapter 53

MONALISA

I walked into my room, my insides boiling with anger but my anger wasn’t at him but at myself. Was this just who I was? Was I someone who wasn’t lovely enough to be kept around for long?

I looked into the mirror and stared at my reflection. I looked beautiful but I didn’t feel beautiful anymore. I had looked into this same mirror yesterday and I had looked and felt beautiful but not anymore.

Lucius’ eyes had held something I couldn’t decipher and the best I could do eventually was to conclude that he didn’t want me anymore.

I thought about going back home but decided against it. He had carefully and firmly stated that I wasn’t to leave and even if I left, I was staying right opposite so was that even me leaving?

My heart clenched and I felt a hurt that I had hardly ever felt. It hurt like the day I had found Francesca in bed with Bryant. It hurt like the moment Francesca had said those rude and harsh words to me.

I plopped down to the edge of my bed and then laid on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

Just then, my phone rang but I ignored it, rolling over in the bed and pressing my face into the bed. But it rang again and this time I got up and picked it up.

It was Irene calling.

I took in a deep breath before picking up the call.

“Hey” I said as cheerfully as I could at that moment.

“Hey Lisa…” She seemed to be busy doing something on the other side of the line.

“Yes Irene?”

“Just get to the point” I heard a feminine voice underground. 1

“Is everything okay?” I asked, noticing that the voice sounded a little bit hostile.

“Yes, completely fine. And how are you doing today? I hope your friend with benefit didn’t take away your inability to walk today” she joked and I couldn’t even laugh or smile.

That ‘friend with benefit’ was now bored of me anyways.

“Not at all, I am fine today”

“Great. Still in for clubbing tonight? We can go after lectures” she replied.

“Sure. I am all in”

Even though right now, I didn’t feel like going to a club or any place close to being crowdy, I didn’t want to disappoint Irene once again and maybe hanging out could also help with this damp feeling.

“Glad. Just wanted to make sure you are still in”

“I promised you yesterday so for sure, we will be hitting the club and clubbing all night!” I tried to sound excited and Irene chuckled.

“Good thing we have morning lectures tomorrow” 2

“Yes, we can drink as much as we want and have fun!” I ended my words with a loud laughter just to hide the hurt in my voice.

Irene also laughed a little.

“I’ve got to go now” she said and ended the call while I continued laughing.

I dropped the phone on the bed, still laughing like a maniac until I felt tears roll down my cheeks. My laughter died down and I brushed the tears off my face.

“I… I knew it was going to end anyways. A man like him, handsome, wealthy, hot, absolutely sexy. The dream of tons of women couldn’t possibly have sex with me for long. He… He has been with other women, women who are much more beautiful and women much more sexier. He couldn’t possibly be with me for long. It’s… It’s good enough that I had him more than once and twice. I knew it was going to end anyways. I always knew so I should not be surprised” I assured myself over and over again but it didn’t totally help ease the hurt.

LUCIUS

“I really know nothing about those men. They are just random customers like every other… Other person. I know nothing about them. This bar is a…” He took in a shaky breath.

“This bar is a local bar and several people come and go. We don’t keep tabs on…” I interrupted him with a kick to his chest, pressing him to the floor.

“Please!” He groaned and gritted in pain as I made to stand on his chest.

“I… I really know nothing about them”

“Lies… Lies. I hate liars” I groaned but was immediately reminded that I was a liar myself.

I had lied to Lisa and her mum all these years. I was no best friend to Sebastian. I was no friend to Sebastian. And I had being a liar to Lisa again this morning. I was the same person I hated. I hated myself.
