Chapter 411: Will to live
In the Finance minister’s mansion, Dexter looked at his father with disbelief.
"Dad, you can’t do this to me. You both- what the hell are you doing?" Dexter said, trying to look at his mother, but she only looked away.
"What do you mean I can’t do anything to you? I can do anything to you as long as you are living with my blood pumping in your veins, and it’s my position that gets you through things," his father said and Dexter clenched his jaws.
"Does that mean, only when I will bleed every drop of blood I have will I be able to free myself from this humiliation?" Dexter asked, tears brimming his eyes and he quickly blinked away.
His father scoffed.
"So what we do is humiliating, but what you do is good work? Do you think I don’t know what you are doing outside? Roaming with the human girl? Have you lost your mind?" His father pulled out his wooden whip, and Dexter stepped back, his gaze shifting to his mother once again, hoping she would come ahead and save him.
But he was so wrong.
"I am studying in a co-ed University, father. It’s not like anything is going on between us. She is just my friend," Dexter tried to reason.
He didn’t know what to do at the moment. It was just a few minutes ago he found out his parents were cheating on each other, and rather than apologizing to him for what they were doing, they were blaming him.
He knew about his father and rebelled against him countless times for the dignity of his mother.
He thought his mother was being ruined, and she didn’t deserve all this. But she was involved too?
