Chapter 6
Brat
So I decide to put an end to this absurd conversation. Because I'm already tired of this-I can't stand being around the man who claims to be my father.
"Fine, let's go already..." I say, or rather, I tell the guys.
My father frowns, but I don't care. He should be grateful I didn't cut off his speech earlier.
"But your father..." Miguel looks at him. "Don't be rude to your father, Brat," he tells me.
That's the last thing I care about. They don't really think I'm going to stand here listening to nonsense all night, do they?
"He already knew I was leaving..." I answer them.
And I'm fed up with having to explain myself. That time of my life is over.
"Relax, go on. I was about to leave anyway, I just dropped by for a moment..." my father says.
And I'm glad he understood we had to go.
"Good, then goodbye..." I tell him.
Without another word I grab my jacket and walk out, with the others right behind me. We head straight to the parking lot, my anger boiling over. I'm disgusted by being bothered like this.
His visits will never be pleasant for me. He always comes out with something, and now he wants to marry me off to Carla? Ha! Never. We only slept together, nothing more.
"Brat, why are you like this with your father?" Miguel says to me.
And it pisses me off. I'm not going to change my plans for him.
"You say that because you don't have to put up with him... He's always on my case about everything. Nothing I do is ever enough for him, and he always wants to force me into things. You like him because you don't know him like I do..." I tell him.
I'm exhausted from being questioned and from people not putting themselves in my shoes. Of course, since Miguel has perfect parents, he thinks life is all sunshine and rainbows. But it isn't. Only those who live it know.
"Yes, I know he hasn't been the best father, but he still deserves your respect..." he tells me.
I'm tired of these lectures. If I wanted sermons, I would've called my father myself. I know why I treat him the way I do.
"Yeah, sure... If you want, I'll give him to you," I say. "You know what? Let's not argue about things that have no solution, because no matter how much I explain, you won't understand. So let's not talk about it anymore. Better we just enjoy the night..." I tell him.
We get to the bar, I park my car, and we go inside. We order a bottle of Johnny Walker whiskey. As soon as we sit down, the waitress starts giving the three of us some playful looks.
Well, I get it-you don't often see three handsome men together. I'm dark-skinned, with black hair and blue eyes. Miguel is my height, blond with lighter blue eyes. And Jon is six feet tall, with brown hair and green eyes. She smiles flirtatiously, leans a little closer to my ear, and says-
Would you like to see my panties...?" the woman says to me.
I laugh-wouldn't be bad after all this fooling around, but I think I'd rather wait a bit.
"Maybe later..." I tell her.
I chuckle, wink at her, and she smiles back. I notice she's flirting with Miguel too, but he makes it clear he's not interested. Jon and I, on the other hand, can't stop looking at her, although I can tell Jon hesitates a bit. Now that I think about it, I believe he's seeing someone-if memory serves me right, it's Miguel's girlfriend's friend.
"Brat, what's wrong? You look really distracted. Did something happen with your father?" Miguel asks me.
The truth is, yes, I'm upset with what he said. He always finds a way to ruin my moment. I take a deep breath and answer.
"He wants me to marry Carla, the daughter of one of the investors, and get her pregnant. I don't want that. His excuse is that it's 'for the good of the company'..." I say.
And just remembering it annoys me.
"Carla... isn't she Henry's daughter? The second-largest shareholder at Berkshire?" he asks.
And now suddenly everyone knows her? That feels suspicious. Maybe she sought me out on purpose. I frown and ask him:
"You know her?" I say.
I look at him surprised that he knows her. Could it be he slept with her too?
"No, but my father won't stop talking about her. And he wants the same thing for me..." he says.
What a surprise. They want to trap him too. Well, at least I'm not the only one. Honestly, I wish he'd ditch that little girlfriend of his and marry Carla instead, so they'd stop bothering me.
"Quite a mess we've both got ourselves into, huh?" I tell him.
And it really is, because there's no way I'll ever get married.
"So, do you know her?" Miguel asks me.
Not at all. If I'd known who she was, I'd never have hooked up with her. That alone is reason enough for me to cross her off, no matter how good she looks.
"Well, I did sleep with her today, without knowing who she was..." I tell him.
We look at each other, and he stares at me strangely. I don't understand why- I neither want her nor desire her.
"You're not dating her, are you, Brat?" he asks.
Dating? Never. We just fooled around, but for me that's not enough-not even to repeat. I only did it again because desire got the best of me, but that won't happen again.
"No, of course not. You know that's not me. We were together twice, and that's it..." I tell him.
Besides, I'd never take someone like her seriously.
"Twice, Brat...?" He pauses, thoughtful. "You, who never go twice with the same girl..." he says.
Yeah, sure, it's easy to get confused. But I don't do that-ever. Now he thinks I'm in love, but that's not the case.
And if it ever does happen, it certainly won't be with her. She's more worn out than a flute.
"No, no, don't twist things, Miguel. Three weeks ago Iván called me and asked if I wanted to join a threesome. Said there was this girl who wanted the two of us. I agreed. A week later the idiot gave her my number, and she called me. I was clear with her: I never repeat. She said it would just be fun, nothing more. And honestly, I was in the mood, but I also wanted to hang out with you guys, so I told her to come by my place. She agreed, and I had the bad luck of my father seeing her leaving my apartment. That's when he started bothering me with what I just told you..." I explain.
I know it's easy to misinterpret things, but that's never going to happen.
"For real, you don't like her even a little?" he asks.
Never. Sure, she was hot, and the sex was satisfying-but not to the point of anything else.
"Nooo, it was just for fun... you know I don't repeat. It was just an exception..." I tell him.
And he keeps staring at me, as if trying to figure out what's going on. I honestly don't see the problem.
"It's strange for you. You never-ever-make exceptions. Are you sure you don't like her...?" Miguel says.
While he talks, my attention drifts back to the waitress. Sure of it-absolutely sure. That girl is not for me. I didn't even remember her name until now.
"Completely sure," I answer.
Of course. Why would I waste my time on a slut?
"So, what do you plan to do about your father?" he asks.
For now, nothing. Because I'll never do what he wants.
"I don't know... but for the moment, I just want to have fun tonight. Be right back..." I tell him.
I get up and walk straight to the waitress who had been flirting with me earlier. I grab her by the hips, slide my hand slowly along her thigh, lean close to her ear, and whisper:
"I'd like to see your panties..." I tell her.
She laughs, and I flash her my most charming smile. Then I head straight for the unisex bathroom, and she follows me. We slip into one of the stalls. I go in first, then she comes in after me. I lock the door, press her back against the tiles, lift her skirt, push her panties aside, pull a condom from my pocket, tear it open, unbuckle my pants, and put it on as fast as I can.
And I enter her without the slightest trace of delicacy. She arches at the sudden invasion-probably because of the size of my manhood-but as always, I don't care, since I'm only after my own pleasure. I grab her hair and thrust once, twice, and then over and over again, pounding into her, slamming my hips against her ass time after time until, at last, I reach my climax.
I let her go, give her a kiss on the back, and leave the bathroom. When I step out, Miguel looks at me, laughs, and shakes his head. I laugh too, then head back to the table, and he says:
"Oh Brat, you never change. I thought you told me you'd just been with Carla..." he says.
And he laughs, and I do too. So what? Just because I had some fun with Carla doesn't mean anything. I never get tired, and I answer him:
"Yes, and so what? You know how I am, and I'm not going to change for my father or for any woman. That I can swear to you..." I say.
And it's the truth, because I don't plan on changing my way of life-not today, not ever.
"I used to say the same thing... maybe you just haven't met the right one yet," he says.
But I'm not like him, and I never will be. That much I'm sure of.
"Or maybe she doesn't exist, don't you think?" I tell him, and he laughs.

Kenzie, the former leader of the Aegis Alliance, opened her eyes to find herself reincarnated as a freezing, abandoned infant in a wet cardboard box.
She was rescued from the rain by Devin Ayers, a ruthless billionaire, and rushed to a private hospital, but a deadly threat was already waiting for her.
The ER doctor, Desiree Dillon, approached her with a syringe. Through a sudden burst of telepathy, Kenzie read the doctor's dark thoughts. Desiree wasn't trying to cure her fever. She deliberately ignored the safe dosage, drawing a lethal amount of Diazepam to permanently silence the crying baby and disguise it as sudden infant death.
"This will make it all go away," Desiree smiled gently, the needle glinting as it moved inches from Kenzie's arm.
Trapped in a weak, paralyzed three-month-old body, Kenzie couldn't run, fight, or even speak. She could only watch the poison inch closer.
How could she survive death only to be assassinated in a hospital bed by a corrupt doctor? She used to command armies. The sheer injustice and terror of dying completely helpless in this tiny body ignited a blinding rage inside her.
Refusing to be a victim again, Kenzie pushed her newborn brain to its absolute limit and unleashed a desperate telepathic scream directly into the billionaire's mind.
"Poison! She's trying to kill me!"
Devin, who had been looking away, suddenly froze, his icy gray eyes locking onto the doctor's wrist.

The rain was a solid sheet of gray as the black SUV rammed into my car, sending me spiraling over the guardrail. As the glass shattered and the world turned upside down, a searing pain ripped through my chest before everything went cold and dark.
I didn’t stay in the darkness. My spirit hovered ten feet in the air, watching the steam hiss from my mangled sedan.
I followed the magnetic pull of my soul back to my family estate, expecting to find them devastated. Instead, I found my stepmother, Florene, and my sister, Kassidy, pouring vintage champagne and laughing in the drawing room.
"To the end of the nuisance," Florene said, her eyes gleaming with greed. "The trust fund unlocks at midnight. We're finally rich."
The betrayal cut deeper than the metal that killed me, but the real shock came at my funeral. Hiram Tyson—the cold, masked husband I’d spent three years fearing—collapsed over my closed casket. He unbuckled his silver mask, revealing a face ruined by scars, and sobbed a name I hadn't heard since childhood.
"I'm sorry, Angel. I thought keeping you at arm's length would keep the darkness away."
He wasn't the monster I thought he was. He was the boy I had saved at the orphanage years ago, and he had been protecting me in silence while my own family plotted my murder.
I reached out to touch him, but the world exploded into a blinding white light.
When I opened my eyes, I wasn't in a casket. I was back in our bedroom, feeling the heavy weight of Hiram’s arm across my waist. The calendar on the nightstand read September 14, 2023—exactly one year before the crash.
I looked at the silver mask resting on the table and felt a cold, hard determination settle in my chest. This time, I wasn't going to be the victim. I was going to be the villain in their story and burn their world to the ground.

My family's company went bankrupt, and my biological father was lying in the ICU, kept alive by machines that cost tens of thousands a day.
I thought it was just a tragic business failure, until I caught my mother in bed with my stepfather.
They had secretly transferred all our assets months ago, deliberately bankrupting the company and leaving my father to die.
To pay the hospital bills, my stepfather forced me to a private club, trying to sell me to a sleazy investor.
When I refused, he slapped me across the face, and my mother just looked at me with cold, dead eyes.
"Be realistic, Jaelynn. A woman's body is a tool. Use it to get what you need."
Later, right before my father's emergency surgery, my stepfather signed a Do Not Resuscitate order and froze the medical accounts.
"If you don't get on your knees and spread your legs for him, I will tell the hospital to pull your father's plug."
Standing in the freezing rain, covered in mud and blood, I stared at the astronomical hospital bill in my hand.
My own family had plotted to murder my father and sell me to the highest bidder. The betrayal shattered every ounce of sanity I had left.
I didn't cry or beg them anymore.
Instead, I pulled out a water-stained, gold-embossed business card.
It belonged to Dolph Valentine, the most ruthless billionaire in New York and my ex-fiancé's uncle.
If they wanted to destroy my life, I was going to sell my soul to the biggest monster of them all and drag them straight to hell.
