He walks down the capital streets, rushing, he is still in his military uniform. People looked at him strangely, and he managed to get into the 3rd district. He runs, the people on the street start to recognize him and salute him with respect, they wonder why he runs, they either shrug or ignore his behavior.
He reaches his house, a normal sized white house with a beautiful managed garden, flowers blooming, the grass was freshly cut. The fence of the house is white, like the other ones. He enters the yard and looks at the grass, thinking when did his wife bring a gardener.
Rinehart opens the door slowly so he doesn't make a huge noise, so his coming is a surprise. He doesn't close the door behind him and tip toes towards the living room. He sees his wife and another man cuddling on the sofa looking at a tv show on a streaming platform.
He looks at the man, and walks closer and closer, he looks at them from behind. He looks at them, from upstairs he hears footsteps, his daughter maybe, she is not a college student, possibly because it is the summer break.
The footsteps are heard now on the stairs walking down, "Ok so you lovebirds need to chill or I am gonna call dad!" She walks in the living room "DAD!" She screams "When did you come back?" The two on the couch jumped down on the floor. "I got my free from work today, whole week free for you honey. But now I have to talk with the 'lovebirds' you mentioned"
"Roland I~" Both of the two were scared to death, their faces were white, like they saw death. "So this is where the money I work for goes… What's your name champ?" The man touches up. "I am a real man, I didn't go to help a child and fight his battles, I~" He gets interrupted by Rinehart jumping the couch and punching him, the punch sends him into the wall.
"Say it again!" "I am a real~" Rinehart pushes the man through the window, he jumps trough the window too, looking down at the man. "What did you say about my lord, my king, my brother?" The man looks in more shock. "That little brat is king now." Rinehart started hitting him, his fist getting bloodier with every punch, he stopped, he didn't want to kill him. "This shall be your remembrance, I was gentle. If Theodore was here, you would've been tortured to death by his hand!"
The man could hardly breathe. Rinehart jumps back inside through the same window. "Felicia…" He looks down at her mother, disrespectfully. "I will clean up my hands." He goes to the kitchen and his daughter follows him. "That was so cool!" She said. "How is uncle Theodore doing?" He looks at her. "How are your studies?" "Filled with work…"
"You answered yourself, for how long that bastard was in my house?" She shrugs, "I don't know I got here today too. I was surprised as you are, only I didn't punch him because this ain't my business."
Rinehart nods "Couldn't agree more, will you be fine if we divorce?" "Totally fine, she is a douchebag, I am 20 now and I don't give a shit about her being disloyal." Rinehart nods. "So what do you wanna do today?" Rinehart's wife storms into the kitchen and starts hitting him. "Why did you do this? WHY DID YOU COME?"
Rinehart looks her deep in the eyes, "I wasn't good enough? You needed more? Well get the fuck out of my house! Andreea, get your shit and leave, this is my property, I paid for it not you, not even if we divorce, this isn't gonna be one of your possessions." She looks at her daughter. "AND YOU OF ALL BETRAY ME BY CALLING HIM"
"She didn't call me here, I came home, to kiss you and hug you tight into my arms, only to find out you are needing more keys to your house." His daughter looks at him with an approving look. "You say it dude!" She continues affirming her father. "Why do you take his side?" Felicia laughs. "Why? Bitc~ I mean mom, he pays for my school, he pays for my food, he pays for the place I am renting when I get to college. What did you offer me?"
As the tension in the room escalates, Andreea's face contorts with a mix of anger and disbelief. "You ungrateful brat!" she hisses at Felicia. "After everything I've done for you, you dare side with him?"
Felicia stands her ground, her expression unyielding. "You've done things for me, sure, but you've also taken away from me, Mom. You've taken away our family's happiness with your lies and deceit."
Rinehart steps in. "That's enough!" He said, his voice firm. "This is not how it should be." He sighs. "I understand you don't want me… We should just go on with our lives'' Andreea's face turns red. '' YOU" She looks around the kitchen and grabs a knife. "You all mighty hero, comes back after 2 YEARS, rarely sending me mails, rarely even calling. AND now you are saying you want me to divorce you, I'LL KILL YOU!"
She jumps at him, trying to poke his eye with the knife. He grabs it, cutting his palm in the process, he throws it away on the floor far away from them. He hugs her with his bloody hand making her clothes dirty. She started crying. "It's ALL your fault!" She screams. "No, It's our fault…" He said, whispering in her ear.
The police enforcers enter the home seeing Rinehart hurt, Andreea's lover called the police on Rinehart. He sighs letting go. "Let me guess you're taking me in?" The police men nod. "Can you at least tend my wound before we go?" They approve, and bandage his wound. They take him into the police vehicle and drove off with him to the station
