Chapter 7. It's All Your Fault
Johnathan let go of his mother that he had gone to help from the floor and she fell back with a thud sound, this time, she even hit her head again on the table but he didn't care, he had already charged on James and punched him in the face.
Luckily James was fast to rouged so the blood only landed on his sturdy chest making Johnathan who was nit used to physical fights or exercise to feel pain in his hand.
"Dad, how can you let this happen?"
He resorted back to his earlier intention, to make his dad fix everything because he is such a daddy's boy no matter how he may deny it.
But instead of Master Baron to say anything, he looked at his wife who he believes is the general cause of their problem at the moment.
"It's all your fault you whore, if not because I am madly in love with you, I'd have eliminated you from the universe at this moment, you too.."
He added looking at James's direction, there was no saying that they were not in this together he thought.
"If we are talking about righteousness, you would be the last person standing on his feet at the moment, you'd probably be in Africa by now"
Master John Baron was glaring at James when he heard him mention Africa just now, his heart sank and he couldn't breath for a second, his mind told him that this man knew more than he should know.
Loveth noticed the tension in the air, seeing the father and son glaring at each other, she couldn't help being pained in her heart, she looked toward all of them one at a time and started speaking.
"You all should stop it alright, I admit that it's all my fault, if only I didn't have a past, then we wouldn't have been in this mess together Ehen Ehen..". Her loud songs could be heard clearly in the room.
While Master John Baron felt that it was a hypocritical cry, the young men were on the other hand moved by the tears in their mother's eyes.
But only one person did something about it, James spoke first,
"It's not your fault mom, don't let this man keep making you inferior and guilting into something that is not true."
Johnathan that wanted to pacify his mom wow that James was ahead of him and stormed his feet out of anger and frustration drawing the attention of the three people in the room to him.
"I hate all of you here and I will never let anyone take my shine away you hear me? Dad, better send this big log out of our lives, and mom better get yourself together and stop crying like a lost puppy in front of us, you both should resolve this if you want to see me again!"
After saying that he stormed to his room happy that he had the final say and that at least they would be running around to restore back everything into order.
However, down stairs, James was looking very calm as if it was not his appearance in that house that cause everything that transpired to happen.
"This is the evidence you need to know" He brought out a white paper and kept it on the table close to him,
"And this is the address of my wife to be, by tomorrow, I want the wedding gifts to be sent on my behalf for the hand of their first daughter, the wedding will take place on Sunday, that's five days from now, enough time for you both to prepare.
Be aware that if anything didn't go as planned, we might both end up in the states, or should we go to Africa first? I'll decide it then"
With that being said, James Baron put his hand back in his pocket, took the last piece of dumpling on the table, threw it in his mouth and walked towards the exits as majestically as he came in.
The maids who were hiding behind the corridor and witnessing everything that happened were stunned and started gossiping among themselves.
"Oh it turns out that Master Baron has another child, what's more, he's handsome and well articulate in his speech, he's also tall and has a very powerful aura, oh why the hell did Master Baron hide him all these years? Such a waste of beauty"
By the time James Baron left the house, it was already dark, but he was in no hurry to go back home, instead, he made some phone calls.
The next minute, four men were seen seating in a private room in a famous bar in the country.
They discussed many important things and the chances that had occurred in their plan due to the small accident involving a certain woman.
After that, they invited some ladies to drink with them and have fun, the next day would be a bright new day and they needed to have fun in order to enjoy the task ahead of them.
James however was more careful considering the events that transpired last night and the outcome of it in the news, he refrained himself from carrying two of beautifulest ladies back to a hotel room.
He was the only one walking away empty handed, what a shame he thought, today he's the only one nit getting a cookie, luckily got him he would soon be getting married.
The next day, he called one if his confident; Andrew, he's a butler in the Baron residence, all these years, he had been the one directly feeding him with every information he needed to know about his dear family.
"Young Master, good evening"
"Good evening Andrew, give me some updates, what happened in the house after I left.
"Well sir and Madam got into a heated argument about you"
As expected,
"Did he hurt her?"
"No sir, this time, they only spoke orally before separating in their ways. Master Baron left the house almost immediately, but he's already back"
"Very good, did they mention anything about my wedding?"
"Yes sir, they did, right now madam is already making phone calls to acquire the gifts to take to your in laws"
"Excellent Andrew, keep up the good work and I'll reward you accordingly"
With the thought of everything in a perfect condition, he was able to sleep comfortably that night while every other member of the family was restless.
And just to make sure that they had a terrible night, he sent them all different emails containing their worst secrets that should be better left in the hidden.
The next day, he was woken by a phone call.
