DEMI
Father stares up from his computer screen as I walk into his study, unsummoned and unaccompanied by any of his sons. This is very unusual especially for me but he and I need to have a conversation outside of other family members.
I tried to talk myself out of it but the truth is that I need to figure out a way to get father's DNA fast. Hence, I figured that I need to find reasons to get him alone. We can't only meet at the dining table along with the rest of the family.
"Hello, father." I greet meekly.
"What do you want?" A deep frown creases his forehead. He hates me. I really don't care at this point.
"I won't waste your time." I take a deep breath. "I want to resume my job at the office. I can't be cooped up at home for nine months. I am sick of being idle."
Father leans back in his chair with an air of surprise at my boldness. "Is that a plea or a demand?"
