Chereads / DESPAIR but RESPAIR / Chapter 5 - Chapter Four

Chapter 5 - Chapter Four

The  marriage will have been close to a year as at that time, katherine and sergio are almost through with high school.

Yvonne served them all and they settled down to eat.

"Delicious, you're really a great cook honey"Matt praised Yvonne smiling at her.

"Thanks sweet"Yvonne replied blushing slightly.

Kate looked down to her food and the next thing that was heard is a bang on the table.

They all looked up to an angry sergio glaring daggers at his father.

"Delicious?" ,He scoffed loudly.

" You never said that to my mom,do you?", hurt was visible in his eyes.

"But here you are acting like a sweet husband.Why don't you just show your true colors and stop with the pretence", sergio yelled ,his eyes bloodshot.

" I just can't keep on with all of your drama and lovey-dovey anymore,", he fired angrily

Kate stared at him ,his expression almost scary.

It has been almost a year that her mom got married to Matt,and she has got to know how bad matt relationship is with his son.

They never agree on the same thing,they argue most of the times and it was evident that sergio loathe his father.

Matt just stared at him  his mouth agaped .

" Don't talk to your dad like that sergio",Yvonne scolded and kate just kept on watching the drama going on.

This have always been their daily routine.

"I can see you've been enchanted by his charm .This your sweet hubby here is nothing but a beast who killed his own wife",sergio burst out angrily, looking at his father with disdain.

A gasp erupted from yvonne and kate as he said those words.

Kate stared at sergio ,the look on his face was the one she rarely see.

Even though she once hated sergio because he bullied her when they were in middle school,but he stopped disturbing her since the day she put him in his place .

Sergio is a bully at school,but she got to know him more with the few months they have lived together.

They may not be that close that they rarely talk,but she know he isn't a bad person.

He is just always putting on a bold front,all a facade.

"What? Didn't your mom died in a plane crash?", Yvonne asked surprisingly.

Sergio was about to talk but Matt beat him to it.

"You snake ,how dare you?, Matt shouted charging at his own son but yvonne held him back.

"Stop this Matt what is sergio talking about?"Yvonne asked .

"Oh oh oh .I can see that was the story he made up" sergio said in  a sacarstic tone.

"Shut up sergio and i will let this slide" ,Matt said amidst gritted teeth.

"You don't have to let it slide.why don't you just tell them the whole truth",sergio said fuming angrily.

"Like how come you are able to live happy,I have been enduring this for the past few months but I can't take it in anymore",sergio said tears welling up in his eyes.

"I may not be perfect myself but I can't just sit down and watch you hurt another person again,you have to tell them the truth and stop acting",sergio said and Matt moved to him like a lightning striking him across the face.

"You bastard,how dare you?"Matt said ready to bounce on him but yvonne held him back again.

Sergio stared at him for some seconds before walking to his room .

The atmosphere become tensed and kate excused herself as she escaped to her room.

"What truth is your son talking about"yvonne asked him immediately kate went upstairs.

"Nothing",he replied

"Nothing?Then what is he talking about?",yvonne asked worriedly as he was red with anger.

"Matt you have been acting weird these past few days days and I know you are keeping something away from me ,what is all this matt?our marriage is still young for us to be keeping things from each other",yvonne said frowning slightly.

"I said it is nothing,get it off your mind",he yelled angrily before storming away in anger to their room.

Yasmin buttocks sinks unto one of the chairs.

Is Matt not really the person she assumes him to be?,he really is keeping something from her.

******

A week later.

Sergio walked inside the house as he just got back from school.

He moved to the refrigerator to get a water to drink.

As he gulp down the water down his throat,he heard a sound upstairs.

His brows ceased , could anyone be at home?,but the door was locked.

He had to open it with his spare keys before entering.

And katherine is still in school,she is currently doing a project meeting with her teacher.

He ignored it and continue to gulp the cold water down his throat,then he heard something crashing .

He placed the cup on the table before going upstairs to check what it was.

Not before taking a small stool with him,in case it is a burglar.

He tiptoed to the place where the sound is heard which is from his room.

He composed himself for any worst which could come his way.As he made to smash the stool on his head,the person turned suddenly making him to froze on his spot.

"Dad",he said surprised, dropping the stool to the ground.

"What are you doing?",he asked as he looked around his room which was in a total mess.

"What are you doing in my room?What are you looking for?",he asked frowning .

"I am looking for something",he replied making an attempt to continue to rummage through his things.

"What are you doing?you can't just go through my things like that,what the hell are you looking for?", sergio said obstructing him.

"Get out of my way sergio",matt threatened but he didn't budge.

"I said get out of my way sergio,I am not playing games with you",he said gritting his teeth angrily.

"I need those files",he bursted angrily and sergio watched him in awe.

"Which files?",he asked as Matt looked away nervously.
